Launched
in
2013
at
that
year
's
'''ECHO
Art
Fair'''
, the Body of Trade & Commerce Gallery (BT&C for short)
will
inaugurate
in
summer
2014
its permanent gallery on Niagara Street in the Upper West Side, a converted warehouse that
will
also
be
home to '''Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper''' and the '''Resurgence Brewery''' and across the street from the new headquarters of the '''Sugar City Collective'''
.
For now, though, it operates in a temporary space in Five Points that opened in February 2014 with "Blow", a joint exhibition of paintings, photographs and sculpture by a quartet of local artists which had as its theme Buffalo's long, bleak winters
. Under the careful direction of Anna Kaplan, whose pedigree in the local arts community has included stints as curatorial assistant at the '''Albright-Knox Art Gallery''' and on the faculty of '''Daemen College''''s fine arts department, the BT&C Gallery's focus is not only on hosting exhibitions of minimalist, abstract contemporary art in a diversity of media, but also—contrary to the majority of other Buffalo galleries whose promotional focus is strictly on the local market—to work actively in the marketing of local artists to galleries and collectors outside Western New York.
