The goal of PRISM is to bring WNY’s LGBT community together to enjoy works by both emerging and established local LGBT artists and to raise awareness of LGBT issues and the many perspectives and voices within WNY’s LGBT community. This year’s artists include: Joanna Angie, Richard Bonvissuto, Jo Ann Brenner, Lawrence Brose, Gerald Mead, Matthew John Pasquarella, Adam Weekley and an opening night acoustic performance by Ya’akov.

[FONT=Arial]CEPA is also delighted to announce that the Reclaiming Buffalo Project will be featured at the Members’ Exhibition opening. Through Writing with Light, a joint education initiative between CEPA Gallery and Just Buffalo Literary Center, CEPA welcomed local urban youth to the Digital Lab to learn Photoshop for a unique project. Mrs. Triggs, Director of the We Care Block Club and None Like You Outreach Program, encouraged these students to photograph the abandoned and boarded up houses in their neighborhoods and transformed them in Photoshop to demonstrate the changes they would like to see in their community. With the help of a Writer-in-Residence from Just Buffalo, these students wrote an essay conveying their experience in the class and their feelings about their city. CEPA Gallery will unveil a 5 x 8-foot banner featuring the students’ “before and after” photos alongside their poignant essay at the Members’ Exhibition. The banner will then travel to other venues throughout the city of Buffalo. [/FONT]
