"The Student/Teacher Show," features works from artists associated with the Art Center, and their students. "The Art Center host classes for both children and adults," says Joseph Buczkowski, Executive Director of the Center, "and many of our members teach art. With this show we hope to showcase not just the talent of our members but the emerging talent they are helping to cultivate."

There are over thirty entrants to the show representing a wide range of media and subject matter. One entrant appears as both a student and a teacher. Tammy Gawley, of North Tonawanda, shares a studio at the art center with her mother, Cynthia Gawley. Tammy, a senior at Daemen College, takes art lessons from Karl Heerdt and in turn teaches children's art classes at the center. Karl, Tammy and some of her students are all entrants.

"Art is not static and the artist never really stops learning," says Sally Bisher, the Art Center's Assistant Executive Director. The student, in time, becomes a master but the master never really stops being a student. Tammy represents that."

Opening Reception was Saturday April 12.
