"The Suspended Moment," a photography show featured the works of eighteen local artists.

This is our first multi-artist photography only show," said Sally Bisher, director of the art center. "We have had one and two man shows before but with the advent of digital photography, more and more people are exploring it as a means of expression. With this show we seek to bring to the public's attention the growing amount of local talent."

Awards for first, second and third place were presented during the opening reception. First place was awarded to Sam Vacanti for his untitled photo (see photo above), second place went to "Sunset Walk, Golden Hill State Park," by Cynthia Jozwik-Burge. Third place was awarded to Robert Rimmer for his work titled "Peaks and Stacks." An Honorable Mention went to "Niagara Falls, American Falls Rainbow," by Dean Hueber.

Entries were judged by Dennis Stierer. Stierer, a two term past president of the Buffalo Society of Artists, is a self taught photographer whose career has spanned over thirty-five years. His work has appeared in National Geographic Magazine and has been exhibited nationally.

Opening Reception was Saturday, February 10.
