Spotlight: Dance Days of Buffalo
Let’s be honest, dance isn’t the art form pushed to the forefront of most people’s radars and agendas. When it comes to the arts, when budget cuts are made, dance is usually the first to get downsized. Then there’s the argument dancers—who are considered artists of movement—aren’t always given the credit they deserve for all the countless hours they sacrifice to choreograph, rehearse, sweat, and endure wear and tear on their entire bodies, all for the sake of their art.

Chris Collins Takes on Uppity Gold Star Muslims
The genius of the Trump campaign is the way in which the candidate can be so easily baited into making an outrageously racist or otherwise insensitive statement, allowing the matter to pivot from the substance of the underlying claim to Trump’s own petulant demeanor.
December Accuser Sues Evander Kane
While the local news is focused on allegations of Buffalo Sabre Evander Kane’s alleged criminal conduct at a Chippewa bar in June of this year, a lawsuit filed a few weeks ago has been largely overlooked. In December, Kane was being investigated for an alleged “sex offense”.
Burn the Bridges
[ART] “Burn the Bridges” is a new, unique show by Buffalo photographer Max Collins. As he prepares to leave Buffalo for the Pacific North West, the show is not only titled ironically—though hopefully he won’t be burning any bridges on his way out of town—but it’s also literally about fire. Fires started in public, in fact. The opening reception for “Burn the Bridges” will take place on Friday at August 5 at Studio Hart in Allentown. The show will run August 5 through August 27.

Rain - A Tribute to the Beatles
[TRIBUTE] Of all of the tributes to The Beatles, and there are a lot of them, Rain — A Tribute to the Beatles, stands out. More than just a live music concert, the multi-media performance involves video, costumes, and other theatrical elements as well. With such a vast discography, the band can’t possibly play everything, but you can be sure that they’ll give equal attention to all of the Beatles’ distinct eras. Rain — A Tribute to the Beatles comes to Artpark on Tuesday, August 9.
