  • Additional artists in the Artisan Alley at the Market Street Art Center during the Open Studios Art Trail.
  • The Upstairs and Downstairs Galleries at Market Street Art Center also present the 2nd annual “Off the Wall,” Holiday Art Show, which will sell "off-the-walls" and continue until January 5, 2009. The “off the wall” in the show’s title comes from a relaxing of a rule customary in art shows as explained by Joseph Buczkowski, executive director of the Market Street Art Center: “Normally, when someone purchases a piece of art work from an exhibition, they have to wait until the end of the show to take it home. That way patrons’ can continue to view and enjoy the work for the duration of the show. With the holidays approaching and people looking for gifts, we suspended that rule, allowing the purchaser to take the artwork home immediately.”

The painting, “Jammin’ in Jackson Square, a watercolor by E. Jane Stoddard, is just one of the many works that will be on display in the art center, galleries and studios participating in the event.

Robert Smith - Photos of Elvis Presley
currently on display at Shawn’s Gate

Shawn’s Gate, located next to the Market Street Art Center, is open 4pm to 8pm, Monday thru Thursday and Noon to 4pm on Saturdays.

The date was April 1st, 1957. The place was Memorial Auditorium. Robert L. Smith, a photographer for the Buffalo Evening News was in attendance to document the performance of a young, up and coming singer named Elvis Presley. When he arrived he was invited back stage by a Buffalo Police officer who asked if he would take pictures of his nieces with Elvis. The results were a series of photos rarely seen by the public.
