Yes, the rumour is true!
Especially for all of you out there in ARLIS/NA land, aiming to score a cheap flight to Buffalo, the March 30th tour,
Buffalo: Architectural Treasures and Contemporary Art,
is going ahead. Take the tour and then join the return bus for your ride to the Toronto conference hotel.
Plan to arrive at Buffalo’s international airport in plenty of time to meet up with the tour group at 11:00 am at its first venue, the Albright Knox Art Gallery. You will need to
sign up for the tour, http://www.arlisna.org/toronto2012/registration.html, and contact the tour coordinators,
Dorothy Tao
or
Sherman Clarke,
to let them know you’re coming.
The goal of this preconference tour is to provide visitors with a rich visual overview of Buffalo’s architectural and contemporary art treasures, with curated visits
to three main sites: the Albright- Knox Art Gallery,
www.albrightknox.org
, Frederick Law Olmsted’s Delaware Park, and the acclaimed
Frank Lloyd Wright Darwin D. Martin House Complex,
www.darwinmartinhouse.org . The tour will begin with a birds’ eye view of Buffalo’s city plan and
architectural highlights from atop the observation deck of Buffalo’s impressive City Hall and will include drive-by’s of some of the highlights. It will then proceed to the three main sites. Lunch and snacks, plus a video presentation for background will
be included.
