Please join us for a presentation about the history of the Erie Canal in relationship to Buffalo, New York City and the Empire State.
We will open a conversation to re-examine the past, present and future of Buffalo, New York City and State utilizing the Erie Barge Canal as a real metaphor through the agency of art practice.
