Overview
The cultural diversity within the Western New York region has produced a variety of artistic talents.

This exhibition also features artists of different cultures, races, and ages, providing wide representation of the peoples here. Embrace the vibrant creativity of artists in this area by learning about them and their works. Visitors can see some artworks that have never been on display at CAM before!
