It was my first time doing stained glass and it won't be my last .

The current focus is on sinkholes around the world. Very interesting. The installation itself is fascinating. The space also houses a small music venue, the church area itself, which hosts concerts and weddings and everything in between and some open office type space upstairs. Parking in the lot is limited but there is street parking, free after 6pm, in the area.

For a solid year, I wanted to go to a first Friday at the AKG. I didn't want to be there one to…read moreattempt Buffalo driving (we circled around to parallel park at 430) and needed someone to echo my musings. Well, I finally made it! We went through check in, where you had to fork over a suggested donation (instead of the usual 22 dollars). They take card, though we gave cash, which seemed like an easier way to exercise the discount. They offered an extra paid section to opt into for an extra 8 dollar charge that we turned down, taking our tiny tags. They're dinky and reusable and gotta attach somewhere to your person. She had also given me a wristband for the strap of Duckles, which had to be checked by a second girl who warned me that I could not wear my knapsack on my back. Could make it a tummy sack or an elbow purse to avoid bumping things, which is how I ended up cradling a stuffed duck around the museum. We hadn't nabbed a map and thought we could wing it. There are qr codes scattered about for info beyond the placards and finding where you have landed. We lucked out and scored a paper map abandoned on one of the numerous benches (there's also chairs and pull out chairs hanging for your resting pleasure) that we attempted to read. My directionally challenged self asked one of the security to send us off to the bridge, given two choices of route. We dodged the scenic way for a temporary outdoor escape, passing more art. Popping back inside we absorbed even more subsets of time and genre, respecting drawn boundaries and only touching things that said we could. There were things that touched us, our souls, that we could take photos of. There were also bizarre things and a bit of nudity. It's all art, including the special presentations and live music and everyday artists sketching in the hall. There was an interactive exhibit in the main that we skipped in the name of rumbling tummies, though we didn't try the cafe. Also avoided the gift shop, cutting out as the crowd began to swell around 6. The place was impeccably clean despite the abundance of windows and smudge worthy doors. It was worth coming out, though I'm unsure how often the exhibits rotate. Come see an authentic famous few and many more that'll have you saying the Albright is pretty *alright*.

The Buffalo AKG Art Museum is our local pride, and requires no advertising or persuasion to visit…read more Believe me, it's a fantastic destination. It's a beautiful space with a nice collection of fine arts. There is a new, three-story extension, a whole new building actually. So, be sure to have plenty of time to explore everything. Their website is very informative and easy to navigate. Check out the current special events and exhibitions. Currently, among others, on display is the "One with Eternity" by Yayoi Kusama, which includes her two Infinity Mirror Rooms and "Pumpkin", a giant orange pumpkin in an orange room covered with black dots. Tickets for this exhibition must be purchased separately and are valid for specific time slots. If there is a big crowd that day, wait a little and don't come from the beginning of your time slot (or figure this out by yourself). We had to leave and come back after a ridiculous experience. Waiting twenty minutes in line to see the actual installation for forty five seconds!? It was very confusing, and I believe there must be a different way to actually enjoy Kusama's work. We came back to see the second room with no wait, but still, with the forty five seconds rule. Ugh... Yes, let's loop if this is the only way which works. Don't forget, the general museum admission is free on the first Friday of the month, and I like that price.

Well. I have lots of things to say lol. First, hubby and I JUST finished our paintings and I. FEEL…read more DRAINED LOL. Second, this was both of our first time attempting a painting class at this volume. I've been wanting to attend a Painting with a Twist class for awhile and waited for the best one! Baby Yoda! Third, there are a lot of things to mention and I want to do it now even though I'm parched (ironic, i know) and feel overwhelmed, because I don't want to forget anything. So, you're greeted with a welcome and given instructions to swap your coat for an apron and you can grab cups and small paper plates for your beverages and food, if you bring any. You're also told where your seat is and your name is written on the table. The class was a lot of fun! But also, overwhelming. The pace was pretty quick and at times felt too fast. You definitely don't have time to lolly gag or really take a sip of your beverage. Forget a snack, no time. I think if you think less about each step as you're painting, it'll feel less overwhelming and you'll have time to drink something in between, which I highly recommend! But that's easier said than done because you want your painting to come out perfect. Other things that made it feel overwhelming is the music was playing kind of loud while the instructor was talking and then other people talking over all of that and some people singing. At times I sang a little (not loudly). What can you do, but have fun? Also, not being able to see what/how the instructor is painting because the screens are too far away or someone is blocking your vision. *Tip for the business- Have a picture of the painting at every station so everyone can at least see how your painting is supposed to look because it's hard to see details from far away.* The main points: As the instructor told us, don't forget to breath! Which I did a lot lol. I forgot to breath. Don't fret, it'll look great in the end when it all comes together and you can always blend things out with a sponge. Take a couple sips of your beverage every few steps, because I feel super dehydrated! Have fun! It's just painting and it's meant to be fun!
