UPCOMING EVENTS

Chur Gallery Currently Featuring Elizabeth Andrews

Wunderkammer - Exhibit Ongoing thru November 10th

A Wunderkammer, or "Cabinet of Curiosities," began in 16th Century Europe as repositories of the natural wonders of the world. Actual specimens could be difficult to obtain, so an engraving or etching of a specimen was as good as the physical object, for it provided proof of its existence. Elizabeth's exhibit will feature her own Cabinet of Curiosities, along with her handmade etchings and other unique treasures.

The Campus will host an opening reception for this exhibit on the evening of September 15th from 5 - 9 pm. Guests will have an opportunity to meet Elizabeth and enjoy light refreshments; the event is free and open to the public (in conjunction with East Aurora Art Walk).

The Chur Gallery is located in the Roycroft Power House; all exhibits are free and open to the public.

New York State Arts and Crafts Alliance Conference

"Frank Lloyd Wright and the Buffalo School of Arts and Crafts"

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 20th - 22nd

This international conference will zero in on how and why the Buffalo region became the national capital for design, production and innovation in American Arts and Crafts. With the region’s wealth of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, The Roycroft Campus, Charles Rohlfs, The Larkin Company, Buffalo Pottery, The Arts and Crafts Shop, Stickley, Heintz Art Metal, Adelaide Robineau, Karl Kipp, Walrath Pottery and so many others, no other region of the country can claim the density of local production. In contrast to the British variant, many members of this Buffalo School of Arts and Crafts freely used the region’s technological prowess to achieve a seamless melding of industrial techniques and handcrafted design, detail and quality—the signature of American Arts and Crafts. This conference will examine how and why.
