The Epicenter of Arts, Culture, and Tourism

"We are in the epicenter of arts, culture, and tourism with Buffalo State’s Burchfield Penney Art Center, the expanded AKG Art Museum, the Buffalo History Museum, the Richardson Olmsted Campus with its Lipsey Architecture Center Buffalo, and so much more on and surrounding our campus. With our long history of art education, art and design, art conservation, and hospitality, we are perfectly positioned to leverage these historic investments." 

–Buffalo State Interim President Bonita R. Durand, Ph.D.
