103 Center for the Arts, Buffalo

February 10–May 27, 2022

Conceived and organized by UB Arts Collaboratory.

In partnership with UB Center for the Arts.

The conversation never stops, and this season, the Arts Collaboratory’s street art installation, The City Talks to Itself, will continue to evolve. Beloved Buffalo street artists Johny Chow and Mickey Harmon will be adding new works to the walls of the UB CFA’s atrium. Mickey’s mural, City of No Illusions, is a tribute to our city, while Johny will be bringing the radical vibe of Buffalo’s street art indoors with incisive commentaries on capitalism and corporate culture.
