What Is the Year of the Arts?

During his 2011 State of the College address, President Aaron Podolefsky declared the 2011-2012 academic year to be the Year of the Arts at Buffalo State, saying: “The arts are something we do very well. They’re crucial to our mission as a public university. They are a source of pride as well as sustenance. And I believe this is the perfect time to highlight and celebrate them.”

Centerstage
Buffalo State’s Year of the Arts presents an eclectic schedule of visual and performing arts events. From plays and concerts to exhibitions and readings, these activities display the wealth of artistic talent offered by the university’s students, faculty, and community.

Join us on campus and in the community as we showcase established and emerging artists and celebrate the importance of art in all we do. Come enjoy performances, exhibitions, workshops, speakers, and more—many events are free and open to the public.
