Reception Area
With its views of the East Gallery and Buffalo's Museum District, it is the perfect venue for your special event. It is also the site of all Burchfield Penney openings and events such as happy hours and presentations. The lighting feature in the ceiling of the Reception Area is designed in the pattern of the constellation Orion, one of Charles Burchfield's favorites.
