Events

It’s a week or two too early for the leaves and too late for St. Patrick’s Day, but there’ll be a different kind of green appearing all over Allentown this Friday to usher in the First Friday of Buffalo’s “out of doors and it’s OK” season. A month-long installation called Green Window City takes form, an experiment in creative sustainability made from upcycled materials diverted from the waste-to-landfill pipeline, however temporarily. Thirteen storefronts will be transformed thanks to around fifteen artists, from Alley Cat to Hyatt’s back to ACME Cabinet.

Elsewhere in Allentown and beyond is a host of First Friday events and openings. Standbys in warmer months: Art Under the Stars (Queen City Gallery) at 64 College Street in Allentown, further afield are Kyla Kegler’s Feel Me at BOX Gallery downtown, and Rebecca Allan’s Debris Fields at Anna Kaplan’s on Niagara Street. On Main Street, highlights are Biff Henrich’s photographs at Eleven Twenty Projects, and works from Gerry Mead’s collection at Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology.
