Music is Art
[FESTIVAL] The annual Music is Art Festival is like a capstone to of the summer in Buffalo. This year, the 14th annual, this Saturday, September 10 at Hoyt Lake behind the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, will feature six stages and more than 100 bands. On the main stages, bands will rotate every 15 minutes, so that can be a lot to take in. There’s no way to catch it all, but here we’ve mapped out our schedule for the day. This is just one route to take through the festival, of course. If you want to create your own, go to musicisart.org for the full schedule of performances.
