The College Street Gallery was established in October, 1997 by Michael Mulley. Since then the gallery has given local artists an easily accessible venue to display their work. Established artists such as Frederick Seaton, Nancy J. Parisi, John Lombardo and Carrieanne Hendrickson, and many others have been featured at the gallery as well as many first time exhibitors. The gallery specializes in photographic work but artists working an all media, such as scuplture (metal and wood), fabric, painting and mixed media have been featured and are welcome. As well as solo exhibitions the gallery has several "Neighborhood Art Exhibits" each year that allow new comers to display their works along with more established artists. The gallery also occaionally hosts muscal events. The gallery has a permanent collection of photos by Michael Mulley and others, specializing in rock, jazz and blues photography as well as urban street scenes from Buffalo, around the U.S. and around the world as well as nature photography. Custom framing and photography services are always available. If you are looking for a special gift for someone keep us in mind.
In Early 2002 the Gallery undertook a renovation by UB Architecture student Joe Messick. The result was entitled "Form Has noting to do With Function" and in February, 2003 won an award from the American Institute of Architecture Students. You can read more about it here and be sure to take a look at it when you stop by.
