Architectural Icons – A Photography Tour of Buffalo

Friday and Saturday, August 14th and 15th 6:00pm – 8:30pm and 9:30am – 4:30pm Ages 16+ CEPA has teamed up with The Richardson Olmsted Campus and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House to offer a unique two-day workshop and juried group exhibition this Fall. Explore Buffalo’s architectural legacy during a two-day photography workshop and trolley tour. Visit and photograph works designed by Buffalo’s leading architectural figures – Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Hobson Richardson, EB Green, Louise Blanchard Bethune, Louis Sullivan, D.H. Burnham, and Esenwein & Johnson. The journey starts on Friday with an interior and exterior photo tour of the Martin House, the residence that Frank Lloyd Wright himself called “domestic symphony.” On Saturday, join us for a hard hat tour at the Richardson Olmsted Campus. Explore and photograph sections of the former Buffalo State Asylum that have been vacant since the 1970s. Afterwards, travel by trolley downtown to visit several landmark buildings throughout the city, before concluding the day back at the Richardson Olmsted Campus bar and restaurant for refreshments. This two-day event will feature extended photography tours of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House and the Richardson Olmsted Campus, as well as shorter visits to the Buffalo Savings Bank, the Electric Tower, The Market Arcade Building, Lafayette Hotel, the Guaranty Building, and the Ellicott Square Building. Participants will be invited to submit their photographs to be selected for a juried exhibition at the Richardson Hotel in September. CEPA will provide a free print to each person whose work is selected for the exhibition, and the best images will be displayed on the walls as part of the permanent collection at the Richardson.
