Viva San Giuseppe 🇮🇹

02/27/2026

We join the Centro Culturale Italiano di Buffalo in recognizing the farewell of the “Generations” exhibit, which has beautifully captured the history, resilience, and contributions of Italian Americans in Western New York.

As we reflect on the stories that brought us here, we also look ahead with excitement to their upcoming exhibit Fantasy World: Italian Americans in Animation exhibit—highlighting the creativity and cultural influence of Italian Americans in the arts.

We encourage our community to support the Centro and attend the farewell reception as they mark this meaningful transition.

In case you haven't heard, we are saying goodbye to our Generations exhibit (for now). Please join us at our farewell reception this evening from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M.
