The objectives of the co-op were to promote\, foster a nd encourage the intelligent and orderly marketing of agricultural product s between producer and consumer. The co-op was also formed to make the dis tribution of agricultural products between producer and consumer as direct and efficient possible. \nNiagara Frontier Growers leased the land from t he railroad until the 1950’s when it then purchased the land. Over the y ears \, the Market became known as the Clinton-Bailey Farmers Market and h as become a vital link in Western New York’s food distribution. \nOver t he years\, many Western New York farmers and growers have brought some of the finest locally grown products to the Market for distribution. Some far mers traveled more than 2 hours to sell their goods at the Market. In the early years of the Market many of the farmers would transport their goods by horse and buggy! \nToday\, the location of the Clinton-Bailey Farmers M arket is central within the growing region and central within the “food distribution hub” of the City of Buffalo. Hundreds of thousands of custo mers pass through the Market each year to purchase fresh locally grown goo ds direct from the farmer insuring healthy eating and savings to the end c onsumer. \nThe Market has also become a desired destination for those look ing to purchase flowers\, vegetable plants\, herbs\, shrubs and Christmas Trees. Many wholesale buyers include major grocers\, institutions\, neighb orhood markets\, restaurants\, caterers\, garden centers and other farm ma rket stands that come to the Market every Tuesday\, Thursday and Saturday morning as early as 4:00 AM. \nCLINTON BAILEY MARKET\n1443 – 1517 Clinto n Street\nBuffalo\, NY 14206 LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T063856Z LOCATION:Clinton-Bailey Market\, 1443 Clinton St.\, Buffalo\, NY\, 14206\, United States URL:https://thebuffalohive.com/event/clinton-bailey-farmers-flea-market-2/ 2026-09-18/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=buffalo-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:PAST EVENTS: 2025 Summer Concert Guide for Buffalo & WNY!

The resulting compositions are a carefully co mposed bedlam of forms that suggest but ultimately deny any specific narra tive. Variously reminiscent of gardens of Eden\, the seasonal genre pictur es of Flemish Renaissance painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder\, and Boschian depictions of Hell\, Banisadr’s contemporary abstractions call upon the history of painting. The title of the exhibition\, borrowed from Albert Pi nkham Ryder’s enigmatic painting\, The Temple of the Mind\, serves as a conceptual framework for the project\, suggesting a space where perception \, memory\, and imagination converge. While the Romantic painter was admir ed for his pioneering\, semi-abstract style\, for Banisadr\, Ryder holds a space for contemplation amid rising uncertainties. \nAli Banisadr (Americ an\, born Iran\, 1976). Return to Mother\, 2022. Oil on linen. 82 x 180 in ches (208.28 x 457.2 cm). © Ali Banisadr.\nGiven his deep interest in art history\, the Buffalo AKG has invited Banisadr to participate in the firs t-ever artist collection intervention. In addition to the installation in the Hemicycle Gallery\, a focused selection of Banisadr’s work will be i nstalled throughout the Robert and Elisabeth Wilmers Building\, among the dreamlike imaginings of the Surrealists and the unbridled energy of the Ab stract Expressionists. \nBanisadr reaches across time to draw on a wide ra nge of influences. From art\, history\, literature\, and mythology to musi c\, film\, and technology\, he thinks of such sources as guiding his hand rather than driving his imagery\, and the powerful microcosms he creates a re uniquely his own. Within these layered compositions\, subtle references to current events and the human condition—conflict\, migration\, and co llective uncertainty—emerge and dissolve within the flux of his painterl y language. Originating from one spontaneous moment to the next\, hidden f igures and beguiling narratives reveal themselves to those who slow down i n the present moment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAli Banisadr (American \, born Iran\, 1976).

Furthermore\, the artist’s unusual experience as a synesthete —a blending of the senses—also informs his practice. Over the years\, he has learned to allow his unique perceptions to guide his process\, lean ing into the ways that color evokes specific sounds of harmony or discord. \nFrancisco de Goya (Spanish\, 1746–1828).

His first engagement with the museum was in March 1 965\, when he took part in the Poetry Today symposium for The Buffalo Fes tival of the Arts Today. The sixteen-day event attracted more than 300\,00 0 guests and received nationwide acclaim. During the symposium\, Creeley s tated\, “Whatever provokes in me this response to the innate rhythm of a poem\, whatever it is\, one singly follows one’s own answer\,” expres sing his deeply felt and responsive style. \nThe poet collaborated with so me of the most celebrated contemporary artists\, forming lasting relations hips with them before the actual “work” took place. Artist Alex Katz\, a collaborator on Edges\, stated\, “Working with Bob makes me feel brig ht.” In May 1972\, Marisol wrote a letter to Creeley after receiving the text for Presences: A Text for Marisol (1976)\, “It is really amazing h ow you could do something so close to me from seeing me so few times.” C reeley mirrored Marisol’s sculptural process in his prose\, creating wha t he called an “active complement.” \n“All I ever wanted was a place \,” Creeley writes\, in a 1988 collaboration with artists Robert Therrie n and Michel Butor. The poet arrived in Buffalo in 1966\, teaching at the University at Buffalo for more than thirty years. He was the inspiration behind Just Buffalo Literary Center and went on to co-found UB’s Poeti cs Program.

Politics of the Obvious is one of the celebrated Icelandic artist’s mos t ambitious ever exhibitions in the United States and half of the works ar e making their American museum debut at the Buffalo AKG. The exhibition ce nters on a series of deceptively simple refrains\, clichés\, and truisms. In six immersive installations made over more than two decades\, Kjartans son transforms such familiar phrases or gestures into experiences that bec ome altogether strange\, provocative\, and powerfully moving. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRagnar Kjartansson (Icelandic\, born 1 976).

Photo: Louisiana Museum of Modern Art/Poul Buchard\n\n\n\n\n\nPrevious slideNext slide\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the video Scenes from Western Culture (The Boat) (2015)\, for example\, an ele gantly dressed couple repeatedly and languidly sets off into a tranquil se a\; the man stays the same while the woman seems to keep changing. Their e vident wealth and ease\, coupled with the impossible beauty of their setti ng\, constitute the stuff of glossy travel brochures\, the carefully const ructed advertising tropes that wallpaper an office worker’s imaginary. S uch an unachievably perfect two weeks’ vacation was\, of course\, a rewa rd designed to help keep that same worker productive during the other fift y weeks of the year. Devoid of drama or incident\, Kjartansson’s The Boa tembodies the deep-rooted fantasy that leisure (enjoyed through the brief reprieve of a vacation or more durably attained through wealth) will cure what ails us. It illustrates a fiction that is as inherent to modernity as our increasingly digital and monitored working lives. \nThe nearby live p erformance Bangemand / Scaredman (2023) offers a stark counterpoint to the holidaymakers in The Boat. Every day during the museum’s open hours\, a man in a tuxedo inches along a narrow ledge high in a gallery\, his body pressed anxiously against the wall. The scenario recalls cinematic tropes —from silent-era physical comedy to midcentury thrillers such as Vertigo (1958)—yet Kjartansson strips the scene of narrative resolution. A clea n-cut\, suited figure is typically a sign of masculine authority\, composu re\, and control\; in Scaredman\, he instead appears beset by unseen and u ndefined forces. The performance evokes a familiar cultural script in whic h masculinity is cast as under siege\, transforming a familiar archetype i nto a meditation on fear\, spectacle\, and the troubling logic that power sustains itself by staging its own vulnerability. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nRagnar Kjartansson (Icelandic\, born 1976). Scenes from Western Cultur e\, The Boat (Stephan Stephensen\, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir and Gyða Valtýsdóttir)\, 2015. Single-channel video. Running time: 2 hours\, 36 m inutes. Courtesy of the artist\, Luhring Augustine\, New York\, and i8 Gal lery\, Reykjavik\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn an interview\, Kjartansson ha s reflected on the importance of holding opposing emotional registers in p lace: “There is always this balance between irony and sincerity. I think that’s where things become interesting.” This sensibility runs throug hout the works in Politics of the Obvious. In Me and My Mother (2000–25) \, for example\, a repeated\, confrontational act between mother and son b ecomes a tender record of time passing. In No Tomorrow (2017)\, a group of performers with guitars take up historic entertainment repertoires while eventually exposing their artifice\, seeming to dance around the fleeting nature of desire itself. The Visitors (2012) is one of the most beloved ar tworks of the twenty-first century. In the virtuosic installation\, musici ans each play alone in separate rooms of a decaying mansion in upstate New York. Their voices carry through walls\, gradually enfolding a shared ref rain and transforming the individual into a temporary collective. Sunday W ithout Love is a tableau vivant rooted in traditions ranging from romantic balladry to landscape painting that builds into a sustained meditation on loss. \nKjartansson stands in wonder at the world’s contradictions. “ I am just totally in awe of the world and all its mystical beauty and myst ical violence\,” he has affirmed. Seen together\, the works in Politics of the Obvious describe a world in which aspiration and anxiety are tightl y bound\, with the quest for stability\, beauty\, and rest shadowed by a p ersistent sense of precarity. By confronting familiar images throughout th e exhibition—of love\, masculinity\, leisure\, and power—Kjartansson r eveals their underlying instability and invites us to dwell in what often remains hidden in plain sight. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Above: Ragnar Kjartansson (Icelandic\, born 19 76).

Ph oto: Thomas Müller \nNatvar Bhavsar: Free Yourself surveys fifty years o f the artist’s expressive abstractions\, inviting viewers to meditate on the power of pure color. Simultaneously presented at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and the University at Buffalo Art Galleries\, the exhibitions respe ctively feature works on paper and monumental paintings spanning each deca de of his career. This exhibition also celebrates the debut of the AKG’s two acquisitions by the artist RITI-YAA (1969) and KE-RAA (1971). \nBhavs ar’s unique physical process centers on tiny particles of pure\, dry pig ment. He begins by soaking the entire canvas in a clear acrylic binder\, t hen sifts or brushes pigment through handmade tools and fine mesh screens\ , building up to eighty sealed layers. Air currents\, breath\, and the rhy thm of his body as he maneuvers around the surface help shape the final im age—a carefully controlled dance that produces textured\, smoky surfaces with subtle shifts in color and tone. As Bhavsar describes: \n\n“When I enter my studio\, everything disappears. It’s like I’ve entered anoth er world. I experience Nirvana. It’s an incredible gift in which I disap pear\, the studio itself disappears\, New York disappears.”\n\n  \nNatv ar Bhavsar (American\, born India\, 1934). VAROONA II\, 1988.

Image courtesy of the artist. \nExamined up close\, his dappled surfac es are palpable\; from a distance\, the color fields float and become atmo spheric. Some paintings burst with energy\, while others suggest a boundle ss continuum of color. Unlike other Abstract Expressionists\, who approach ed the sublime through solemnity\, Bhavsar’s path is ecstatic and celebr atory and rooted in his Indian heritage. His work invokes Holi\, the Hindu Spring festival in which revelers douse one another in powdered colors to celebrate the divine love of Radha and Krishna. Later works introducing c urlicues draw on rangoli—decorative floor patterns of colored powder mad e during Diwali\, the festival of light. \nBhavsar’s meditative practice results in an intensely personal experience that invites endless free ass ociation—whether you find yourself peering through a microscope\, wander ing a Holi celebration\, or gazing from the Hubble telescope is left entir ely to you. \n  \n  \n  \n\nNatvar Bhavsar: Free Yourself is organized by the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and the University at Buffalo Art Galleries.

Adopting a retro style derived from consoles such as the Atar i 2600 or Nintendo Entertainment System\, the project will include the gam es Constantin Brancusi’s Endless Column\, Picasso’s War\, and Un Chien Andalou. \nThese new games draw on art historical themes in the same mann er as Treeby’s previous works in fiber\, utilizing imagery appropriated from pre-existing paintings and sculptures. In his fiber pieces\, the work s resolve naturally into a pixelated form through crochet or cross stitch. In order to bridge this visual connection from fiber to pixels\, Treeby t aught himself Game Maker Studio in order to produce work that is literally playable and not merely referential toward the form. \nWhile video games are one of the largest and most lucrative realms of the entertainment indu stry\, they remain\, even after many decades of development\, targets of c ensure and criticism — they exalt violence\, they promote anti-social be havior\, they are gigantic time sinks\, they contribute little to culture\ , and so on. The truth is more complex — the sorts of unique experiences created within games are not at all dissimilar from the effects produced by great works of art (because that’s what they can be). They are filled with creative obstacles and demand creative solutions. They engage mechan isms of critical thinking. They are fueled by imagination. And the spontan eous experiences they generate — a combination of their design and how t he player plays — can frequently land in a sublime place. \nIn these way s\, we discover rapidly that they are no dissimilar from that which we mor e commonly call art.

T he Gay Beach Musical. \nSet on the beach at Coney Island on Gay Liberation Day – June 28th\, the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Our story fol lows a closeted lifeguard whose life is saved by five unabashedly eccentri c characters: his soon-to be lover\, a wacky orthodox priest\, a ditzy jou rnalist\, a hunky construction worker\, and a show queen from Shirley’s Temple on Flatbush Avenue. \nTheir drives\, dreams\, pasts and futures col lide in a riot of coincidences\, filled with music\, romance and off-the-w all humor. \nBuffalo United Artists production of Gulp! The Gay Beach Mus ical is more than a revival\, it is an act of preservation. As one of the earliest examples of queer musicals in the history of the American musica l\, Gulp! predates landmark works such as La Cage aux Folles\, Rent\, and Fun Home\, yet it has remained largely forgotten. \nWith no commercia l cast recording and decades since its last full production\, this groundb reaking work has been at risk of disappearing from our theatrical legacy. Our production team has worked to restore the musical as faithfully as pos sible\, while introducing it to a new generation of audiences. By honoring its creators and preserving their artistic vision\, we hope to secure Gu lp! its rightful place in the canon of influential queer musicals and ens ure that its story continues to live far beyond Buffalo. \n\nSTARRING\n\n \nVinny Murphy \nDIRECTOR \n\n \nCorey Beiber \nHOMER \n\n \nRyan Blunt \n TEDDY \n\n \nMichael Flanagan \nFATHER WILLIAM \n\n \nRobert McKnight \nCH RIS \n\n \nZachary Kushner \nMANNY \n\n \nMatt Rittler \nBIRDIE LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T063856Z LOCATION:Compass Performing Arts Center\, 545 Elmwood Avenue\, Buffalo\, N Y\, 14222\, United States URL:https://thebuffalohive.com/event/buffalo-theater-gulp-the-gay-beach-mu sical-3/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=buffalo-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:PAST EVENTS: 2025 Summer Concert Guide for Buffalo & WNY!

With a deep reverence for the music\, Gedeon presents each piece in its purest form\, capturing not only the warmth and honesty of Taylor’s vocal delivery but also the intricate detail of his unique guitar style. Whether it’s the uplifting message of “Shower The People \,” the inherent longing of “Fire & Rain\,” or the celebration of “Your Smiling Face\,” the result is an authentic\, heartfelt experienc e that honors Taylor’s legacy\, while inviting listeners to feel as thou gh the music is being shared just for them. \nGedeon began honing his craf t in New York City’s legendary Greenwich Village music scene during the  1990s\, performing in storied venues such as The Village Gate\, The B ack Fence\, and The Red Lion. It wasn’t long before he became known as a singer and songwriter whose warmth and authenticity could make even thos e in the farthest corner of a room feel like they were right up front. \nH is talent and stage presence have taken him to some of New York’s most i conic venues\, including Le Cirque\, The Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Cen ter\, and The Waldorf Astoria Grand Ballroom\, where he performed as part of the opening band for Dan Aykroyd and The Blues Brothers at The Alzhe imer’s Foundation Annual Fundraiser. \nHis music has traveled well beyon d New York.

He has performed with renowned musicians including guitaris ts Oz Noy and Bernie Williams\, drummers Dave Weckl and Steve Holley \, and saxophonist Mark Rivera (Billy Joel\, Ringo Starr\, Foreigner). \ nAmong Gedeon’s most memorable performances was at the wedding of radio icon Howard Stern\, where he performed three duets with Billy Joel. Later that evening\, as part of the house band\, he backed up Phoebe Snow and  Pat Monahan of Train on their hits “Calling All Angels” and  “Drops of Jupiter.” \nToday\, in addition to his solo work and touring with Coming Home: The Music of James Taylor\, Gedeon tours nationally w ith “Taylor\, Simon\, King: A Celebration of Three American Troubadors\ ,” honoring the timeless music of James Taylor\, Carly Simon\, and Caro le King. \nMore than three decades after his first gigs in Greenwich Villa ge\, Gedeon continues to perform with the same passion\, sincerity\, and s pirit that have defined his journey from the very beginning — creating m oments of connection through music that feels both familiar and profoundly his own. \nPart of the Spotlight Series\, Sponsored by DFT Communications LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T063856Z LOCATION:1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center\, 9 Church St.\, Fredonia\, NY\, 14063\, United States URL:https://thebuffalohive.com/event/coming-home-the-music-of-james-taylor /?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=buffalo-ny X-SOURCE-NAME:PAST EVENTS: 2025 Summer Concert Guide for Buffalo & WNY!
