Art Resource and Mirabo Press have launched The Raft Residency, a new program honoring the memory of Elisabeth Samuels, a prominent artist and curator in Buffalo. The residency will provide artists with a space to create and showcase their work. Samuels was a well-known figure in the Buffalo arts scene, and her passing was a loss for the community. The Raft Residency is a great way to honor her memory and continue her legacy.
"The Raft Residency is a way to keep Elisabeth Samuels' spirit alive" said a spokesperson for Art Resource.
The residency will provide artists with a unique opportunity to create and showcase their work, and it will be a great addition to the Buffalo arts scene. The city has a thriving arts community, with many galleries and studios, including The Albright-Knox Art Gallery and The Burchfield Penney Art Center. The Raft Residency will be a great resource for artists in Buffalo, and it will help to promote the arts in the city.
The residency is a testament to the city's commitment to supporting the arts and providing a platform for talented artists to showcase their work. The application process for the residency is now open, and artists are encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is soon, and the first residents will be announced in the coming weeks.
