The Burchfield Penney features the work of Western New York artists and houses one of the world’s largest collections of work by American watercolorist Charles E. Burchfield (1893–1967). The historic Albright-Knox Art Gallery, which showcases modern and contemporary art, is located across the street from the campus. Students can purchase discount passes in the Student Union.

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.”
—Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)
“The art of acting presupposes three phases: understanding a part, intuiting a part, and contemplating the essence of a part.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“If art has a purpose, it is to interpret life, reproduce it in fresh visions.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
