Classic, ordinary and standard are a few words that would never, ever be used to describe these works.In fact, there is nothing the least bit conventional about the art currently on display at the Carnegie Art Center, 240 Goundry St., North Tonawanda.The exhibit, entitled "Beyond/In Western New York," features the work of three local artists: John Knecht, Tammy Renee Brackett and Patrick Robideau.While the name alludes to the inclusion of Western New York and its surrounding regions, these three artists bring a different meaning to the name of the exhibit, going above and beyond with their creative projects.

Jazz is the invigorating answer for at least a few Buffalo musicians and patrons.A mature quartet of Dixieland jazz musicians called the Nickel City Clippers were jammin' up and down the aisles of the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens Sunday.The weekly free event was part of an ongoing series entitled Concerts in the Conservatory and opened with about an hour of poetry readings from local poets.
