A little history about the local art-inspired image on our Long-sleeve Tee "Bubbleman" by photographer Joe George
Chuck Incorvaia put a fan in the window and grabbed a wand. Passers-by often saw the bubbles at the corner of Elmwood and Allen. 'He was doing it seven days a week, sometimes five or six times a day,'
"It grew crowds of children because there's a children's playhouse across the street. "They'd come outside and be chanting 'bubbles, bubbles, bubbles,' and he started doing it more and more and just became the 'Bubbleman' legend."He passed in 2022

The “Old Pink”, a popular dive music bar on Allen Street in Buffalo’s Allentown neighborhood, was destroyed by arson about two years ago.

I love bringing local artists’ work into everyday life. These long-sleeve T-shirts at Parables Gallery and Gifts feature Buffalo’s Seasons, abstract crosses, and a sunlit fall lily pond, in a variety of colors—each one a wearable piece of art.

Which design would you choose? Find them in-store at 1027 Elmwood Ave in Buffalo or online. A favorite T-shirt print can bring a little local art into non-gallery spaces.

Happy Fall

I love seeing the gallery come alive with art, conversation, and, of course, some of my garden-to-table horsd'oeuvres. Last night at Steve’s Gallery Reception, visitors gathered around his first solo exhibition, sharing the kind of moments that make an exhibition feel personal and welcoming.

Hey friends! I wanted to share a look inside the Gallery Shop Room in the front room of my mixed-use home, Parables Gallery & Gifts. I feature work by Buffalo artists, photographers, and craftspeople, along with art-inspired clothing, home décor, photography prints, and functional art.

One of my favorite projects is bringing art into everyday settings with art-printed T-shirts. They can spark the most unexpected conversations with people you’ve never met. What kind of art would you like to wear or bring into your home?

I’m always looking to connect with artists and craftspeople. There’s no upfront cost—my commission is 30% on each sold piece. If you’d like to work with me, contact me at parablesgallerygifts.com or visit me at 1027 Elmwood Ave., Buffalo, NY 14222.

I hope this welcoming view finds a place in your studio, shop, or creative corner.

Peace
