An immersive interdisciplinary installation exploring themes of connection and dis-connection through cymatic (sound made visible) projections juxtaposed over patterns and networks found in nature in the greater Niagara Falls region.
Vision Of Vocation: Finding Rest
Joel Mulindwa
In Vision of Vocation: Finding Rest, Joel explores themes of labor, purpose, value and overlooked moments of stillness within the lives of workers. “I plan to create frames for the drawings I will show as an intentional finishing touch that will supplement the subjects.”
Sunshine Recorder
Nicholas Christakis
Sunshine Recorder is an arts and culture zine showcasing Buffalo's unique creatives through studio visits, gonzo journalism at events, and any exciting happenings in 2025.

Buffalo ReFuse: Video Theater
Michael Chernoff
ReFuse is a multi-channel screening of films that document the urban landscape of Buffalo NY, made by local filmmakers, and constructed from salvaged building materials and old CRT video monitors. The work will be publicly exhibited at ReUse Action on Buffalo’s East Side neighborhood, and includes artist talks and workshops.
Bodega 333
Alison Cortes
A magic market focused on childlike imagination, community, and creating safe spaces. A local gallery is transformed into a playful storefront, creating an immersive exhibition space for unique and free public programming. Bodega 333 is a dreamlike space where all are invited to wander and wonder.
Useful Symbiont
Claudia Mancuso D'Auria
We believe we shape the world of objects - but our objects shape us. We are symbionts. These things carry, collect and present. Their role is ambiguous, residing between art and science, data and display. Collect, grow, feed, perform: responsive in the world.
Tangled Gravities
Shawn Chiki
Tangled Gravities is a public sculpture / interactive mixed reality worldbuilding exercise, where people with radically different gravities coexist innocently, traversing a playground of AI-generated nonsense.
Gatheringspace
Joel Brenden & Avye Alexandres
A new creative workspace for artists exploring the intersections of photo/video, performance, and printed matter. The Generator Fund will support initial costs establishing an adaptable space and subsidize materials for use in workshops and by guest artists.
Expanding the WNY Print Community
MIRABO PRESS (Partners Rachel Shelton, Mizin Shin, and Bob Fleming)
Mirabo will establish the Growing the Western New York Print Community Program Program. It will offer free residencies to 3 to 4 artists for one week. A Mirabo printer will guide each resident through their residency. Each artist will participate in a group show in the Mirabo gallery.
Beneath the Soil
Sussan Giallombardo and Stefana Paskoff
Sussan Giallombardo's project is an interdisciplinary collaboration with Stefana Paskoff. She will be creating an installation using Stefana’s vast collection of animal bones. Her intention is to design and produce separate environments using the innumerable bones that have been systematically cataloged for over forty years.
IMKirkwood the Artist
Iris M. Kirkwood
The Generator Grant will fund an exhibit of my artwork in God City Senior Living Apartments Community Center. I tell stories of the little moments in life: joy, pathos, awe, jealousy, love. My work is figurative. When I create my visual narratives, I use elements such as character, setting, and point of view. There is more to the emotional life of Black people than anger and sorrow.

TRANSVERSALS [Dead Futures]
D. Sloan & Connor Grogan
TRANSVERSALS is a hybridized experiment in producing and publishing essays, visual arts, and mixed media on theory, theory-fiction, and other speculative genres. Artistic creation is a struggle when meritocratic ideals place trend before rigor, flash before nuance, major before minor. We believe the struggle is worth the effort.
Field Service
Groupwork
Groupwork provides “Field Service”: redefining reality in Buffalo's open spaces through a curated sensory experience. Embedded within the trees, skies, and open fields, video art and soundscapes illuminate and augment our shared space, creating a momentary yet memorable dialogue between the natural world and its transient guests.
The Heliotechnics/ Heliotechniques Institute for the Study of Solar Practices
Elia Vargas
Heliotechnics is a speculative media art project that explores new ways of thinking about energetic entities, such as petroleum, whale oil, electricity, and the sun to decenter anthropocentric representations of nature, culture, and technology.
Vague Questions
Nick Mass and Silas Rubeck
Vague Questions is an interview series that documents the reactive mind. The concept is to take questions that may appear in everyday life, take them out of context, and allow the interviewee to assign their own topic to them. The questions are essentially Rorschach tests in language form.
Lost Woods
Quincey Miracle
Lost Woods is an interactive public art exhibition using blanket forts, treehouses, and other makeshift childhood structures to explore the formation of queer identity in adolescence.
Hyper(in)Visible
Soda Haley
"To be hyper(in)visible means receiving both excessive attention and being overlooked, sometimes simultaneously." - Jeannine A. Gailey. Hyper(in)visible will be an exhibition, featuring oil paintings and sculpture that explores fatness through a personal fat queer lens, aiming to provoke dialogue and challenge societal prejudice against the fat body.
