Buffalo Arts Studio is excited to present an exhibition of new work by Sarah Jane Barry titled “The Dragons in Our Lives.” Barry is a mixed media artist working in Buffalo, NY whose love of painting was born during the pandemic in 2020. She believes painting can function as a meditative process, providing a break from the monotony of day-to-day life and a chance to relinquish control.

“The Dragons in Our Lives” is on display August 23–October 11, 2024, with an opening reception on Friday, August 23, 5:00–8:00 pm. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. 

“The Dragons in Our Lives” was originally scheduled to be exhibited at BOX Gallery in the Hostel Buffalo-Niagara. On April 10, 2024, the City of Buffalo condemned the Buffalo Urban Renewal Agency building, which adjoins the back of the Hostel, shut off the electricity, and then condemned the Hostel. 

“As it currently stands, Sarah Jane Barry's show will mark the final installment of BOX, completing 10 years of experimental art exhibitions and performances,” JP Pierre, the Managing Director of Hostel Buffalo-Niagara, states.
