Featuring Local Artists and Craftsmen of Buffalo, NY
For a relativity small town, Buffalo has a thriving arts community and it is one that I am glad to be a part of. I have lived here for most of my life and I love that we are a city rich with culture. Like so many of my fellow artists, it has always been necessary for me to work a day job. when many of your waking hours are spent working, it leaves you with a deep desire to connect with others that share your appreciation for the arts in any way you can. Most often this means taking advantage of public spaces that promote the arts and taking opportunities to show your work. Being a part time artist in no way lessees the full- time love so many of us share for the power that art can wield. Trends come and go, but art remains a true form of expression that transcends the mainstream and allows for an individual to speak there personal visual language.
I recently saw an opportunity to support the arts more actively here in Buffalo while paying it forward, so to speak, to all those who have shared there own art spaces with me over the years. I decided to transform my home on Elmwood Avenue into s gallery and showroom for local artists and craftsmen. It has always been a dream of mine to create a space like this and share it with the community. The location works perfectly to this end, and what better way to repurpose a historic home in the Elmwood village ? I have named the space Parables ,because art, as a medium ,allows the viewer to step out of here and now and glimpse the hereafter. It allows us to heighten our perceptions and adds a depth to life that little else can rival. It is with this desire of heart that I invite you to visit the space I've created and share in this amazing collective we know at the arts community in Buffalo.
Much Love Glenn Kroetsch
