-Free access to fresh produce.

-Education opportunities
-Social supports
- Healthy food taste testing's followed with a community art project.
-Mental health resources
-Access to indoor agricultural opportunities and education

We also brought special guests Dr. Khalid El-Hakim who brought his award-winning African American History Mobile Museum which included over 7,000 artifacts and memorabilia dating from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to Hip-Hop culture along with Dr. Khalilah Ali, former wife of legendary boxer and humanitarian Muhammad Ali. We would like to thank all of our partnering vendors who believed in this vision and we look forward to working with you all in 2023. See you at the next "tour stop."

The Makings of Hue Art Exhibition
Artist- Mikayla Magee

Mikayla Magee is an artist from the Dallas area who creates in various mediums including digital illustration, oil pastel, acrylic, and oil paint.

Mikayla started creating at a very young age and began honing her skills in high school. This is where she started to explore the concept of identity in relation to social constructs and societal standards. Creating abstract depictions of common human character. Now, her style has shifted to emotive realism with a focus on individuality and growth.

Below is a video clip of Mikayla speaking about her artworks "God's Love is Free" and "Velvet."

Vision

Buffalo's Own, Inc. provides emerging artists with opportunities to grow creatively and expand into larger art markets by partnering with galleries, businesses, and other organizations in major metropolitan areas to curate annual art exhibits.

The idea for our organization emerged in 2019, when a group of creatives partnered with a popular art gallery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to showcase the work of five emerging artists from Buffalo, New York in a month-long art exhibit. The event was a success, leading us to form Buffalo’s Own as a nonprofit organization with a mission to select some of the best artists from the Nickel City, giving them a rare opportunity to advance their artistic careers in competitive and rewarding creative hubs.

In addition to organizing our annual event for qualifying local artists, we create opportunities for Buffalo-area artists to share their work through pop-up shows, expos and exhibits. We also leverage our growing social media network to bring additional exposure to the artists in our community through social media posts and virtual art events. Our aim is to provide platforms for local artists to sell family-friendly original artwork, art prints, books, and wearable art and other products through community events like local and regional art fairs and celebration as well as via online channels.

As we grow, we will foster a love of art among future generations by offering them opportunities to learn from working, professional artists, who can model artistic success while teaching children artistic concepts, techniques, and history through engaging, hands-on art workshops.
