Video Institute Hosts Screening

Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m.

The Canisius College Video Institute will host a screening of their video documentary on the Buffalo Central Terminal on Monday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. in the Montante Cultural Center.

Russell Pawlak, president of the Buffalo Central Terminal Restoration Corp., will speak at the event. The video was produced by digital media arts majors Kirsten Jahn ’07 and Scott Richardson ’09, who will also be on hand to discuss their work with the Video Institute.

The Canisius College Video Institute provides students with the opportunity to put their classroom lessons to work on projects that will benefit the college and the community at large. Students produce documentaries and promotional videos for local and international not-for-profit and service agencies that otherwise would not have the resources to tell their stories in this way.

The Canisius College Video Institute is funded in part by the John R. Oishei Foundation and directed by Barbara Irwin, PhD, chair of the Communication Studies Department.

Canisius College is one of 28 Jesuit Colleges in the nation and the premier private college in Western New York. Canisius prepares leaders – intelligent, caring, faithful individuals – able to pursue and promote excellence in their professions, their communities and their service to humanity.

University at Buffalo Art Show: Intersecting Spaces

A tremendous variety of art works dubbed ‘Intersecting Spaces’ will be on display at The Buffalo Central Terminal, 495 Paderewski Drive, Buffalo, NY 14212, on April 15th 2007, from 2pm to 6pm.

The exhibition is the culmination of studies for the undergraduate seniors in University at Buffalo’s Visual Studies Department. This is the third year that the thesis exhibition will take place in Buffalo’s Central Terminal.

The senior thesis exhibition portrays advance work indicative of technical expertise, initiated independently by thirty-five graduating seniors with mentoring from faculty.

The return of Dyngus Day to the Central Terminal was a resounding success! Thanks to the folks over at WNYMedia.net for putting together this video recap of the events at the Terminal and across the East Side of Buffalo.

Also, be sure to see more Dyngus Day coverage at Broadway Fillmore Alive's website.

Happy Dyngus Day!!

The celebration starts tonight at 5pm, with the parade starting at the
Broadway Market and ending at the Central Terminal. Pussywillows will be
on sale at the terminal, as will Flying Bison's special Dyngus Day
beer, food by Ulrich's Bistro Europa and the K Sisters.

The C.T.R.C. Building Committee has been hard at work this chilly
winter preparing the restaurant for use for this event. It is the first
time in more than 20 years that this room is illuminated and open to the
public. They have also been busy hanging vintage Broadway Market signs
in the room. It looks fantastic!

It will be the location of warming stations, as there is no heat in the
building and it's pretty chilly inside. Dress warmly so you can remain
comfortable until the polka dancing, food and beer warms your insides.

Come on out and enjoy a wonderful local ethnic tradition. I guarantee
you'll have a lot of fun!

Na zdrowie!
