Lewiston, NY - The Castellani Art Museum Presents Western New York Collects: Cindy Sherman from March 23 – July 20, 2014, with an opening reception Sunday, April 13, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m., with curators’ talk at 3:00 p.m.

NIAGARA UNIVERSITY. NY -- Western New York Collects: Cindy Sherman is the third in a series of exhibitions that highlights the work of a diverse range of visual artists with Western New York (WNY) connections who have gained significant national and international recognition. Cindy Sherman, who attended Buffalo State College in the mid-1970s and was one of the founding members of Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center, is an ideal subject for this series since her highly vaulted career has garnered her the position of an icon in the canon of international art history. For decades, our community has marked her celebrated career with the same kind of pride and admiration associated with the successes of hometown heroes in the worlds of sport, entertainment and politics.
