40 oz. and fine art
By PETE SHAPIRO | Apr. 9, 2013The thought of fine art brings to mind stuffy white museums, lavish oil paintings and upper-class elegance, but the exhibition Tell Me I'm Pretty broke that stereotype with a humble twist. Malt liquor and donuts were served for the attendees' enjoyment on opening night at the Center for the Arts. The display featured artwork by nine first-year Master of Fine Arts students, ranging in medium from oil paintings and visual computer programs to avant-garde Mason jar MP3 players and thrift store living room recreations. The friendly atmosphere on opening night drew a sizable crowd of curious faces, perhaps because of the booze and donuts, but more than likely because of the exceptional work by the artists. The gallery was split in half by a wall in the center of the room.

"The Audience was ""Blown Away"""
By RACHEL KRAMER | Mar. 28, 2013There was a dress code in Buffalo on Tuesday night: Cowboy boots, white lace dresses, cowboy hats resting on top of bouncy, curly hair and lots of denim. Carrie Underwood performed with special guest star Hunter Hayes at the First Niagara Center on Tuesday to a crowd of around 20,000 country music fans on her Blown Away Tour. Hayes started the show on a low note by informing the audience he had a sore throat and would need its help to sing his chart topping hits.
