Art in the Open is an invitation for everyone, both the UB and Western New York communities, to come and explore the incredible artistic work that is created here.” – Jamie M.

Arts Collaboratory
The City Talks to Itself, Part 2
The conversation never stops, and this spring, the Arts Collaboratory’s street art installation, The City Talks to Itself continues to evolve. Beloved Buffalo street artists Johny Chow and Mickey Harmon have added new works to the walls of the Center for the Arts' atrium. Mickey’s mural, City of No Illusions, is a tribute to our city, while Johny brings the radical vibe of Buffalo’s street art indoors with incisive commentaries on capitalism and corporate culture in his piece Chow Monstro.
