I absolutely loved visiting the BPAC when I attended Buffalo State because of all the creative pieces of art that were on display. There is always a rich collection of contemporary and modern art being showcased which I am a huge fan of. A trip here any time of the day was extremely relaxing and so inspirational. Not enough students took advantage of the free admissions which is unfortunate. They frequently host events and invite key speakers, where you have the opportunity to learn a great deal and network with attendees. The BPAC was recently renovated and they installed projectors in front of the center that displays films on the center itself. Its a pleasure to watch it when the sun is down because you can see it clearly.

Both museums, literally within 200 yards of each other, the Burchfield and Alright-Knox, offer modern art at its finest. The Albright does an amazing job at featuring locally made childrens art work throughout the school season. Neither museum is designed for the childrens integration per say. The Western NY arts community is in the early stages of planning the building of a child centered arts center along the Canal Side water front in the future. All amazing things do take time. Enjoy the art that is here in Buffalo.

Not too huge of a gallery. It contains many of Burchfields works, as well as a unique focus on art from Western New York. I found it very intrigued that the ceiling of the second floor has the constellation Orion in the lights.

Loved the guided tour on a Sunday afternoon. The paperweight exhibit was awsome! Were glad they were able to bring it to this museum. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly!

Well designed expansive gallery. Im not personally a fan of Charles Birchfields work, however many contemporary and experimental come through here

I was here for a wedding so I probably didnt see it in its natural element, but it seemed very nice and modern. And obviously caters to requests.

Beautiful gallery just opposite the Knox-Albright Gallery in Buffalo. Excellent layout and regularly changing exhibitions.

Um..why would you take your daughter to an art gallery and expect hands on interaction. Color me puzzled and amazed.

The Burchfield Penney Arts Center is the most innovative, diversified and ALIVE art museum in Western New York.
