SUMMARY:Mutation Invasion: Flesh-eating Flora
DESCRIPTION:Mutation Invasion: Flesh-eating Flora\n\nGet trapped by the haunting allure of carnivorous plants! \n\nSeptember 13\, 10:00 am – October 31\, 4:00 pm\nCost: Included with admission\n\nOh no!! The Botanical Gardens is under siege by an abundance of mutated\, flesh-eating plants! Carnivorous plants from the permanent collection such as venus flytraps\, sundews\, and pitcher plants as well as some other creepy plants will be on display along with a marvelous collection of bug-snatching sculptures created by local artist\, Melanie Fisher. Visitors will not only learn more about these shocking and interesting plants\, but they will be taken on an exciting\, and action-packed adventure with the help of a plot-twisting comic strip created by local Buffalo artist\, Nate Phillips. Through the exhibit\, follow the exciting vintage-inspired comic-book story of Mutation Invasion: Flesh-eating Flora featuring a series of large storyboard posters and get an up-close look at a variety of carnivorous plants. It shares the story of how our carnivorous plants have mutated into even bigger and scarier flesh-eating flora that put the Botanical Gardens’ horticulturists and pollinators at risk of being eaten alive!  \nLarger-than-life sculptures\, hungry plants\, and an adventure of a lifetime all wrapped into one exhibition! Visitors will also learn more about carnivorous plants and how convergent evolution is the reason behind the existence of these “natural-born killers.” \nMeet the artists! \nMelanie Fisher\, Sculpture artist \n \nMelanie Fisher grew up with three sisters in Rochester\, New York. She received her\nBachelors of Science in Ceramics from the State University of New York at Buffalo State\nCollege\, a Post Baccalaureate certificate at Indiana University Southeast and a Masters\nin Fine Arts degree in ceramics at Ohio University- also earning a certificate in Visual\nArts Management.

He couldn’t decide on a single medium so he is a freelance artist with his wet\, webbed little flippers in all sorts of pockets of art\, including (but not limited to) sculpting\, painting\, illustration\, printmaking\, animation\, woodcarving\, graphic novels\, and fiber arts when he’s feeling saucy. No matter what medium though\, they all share the commonality of his deep love and fascination with the natural world. \n“I am chronically unserious and clinically compelled to try and manifest the funny little ideas that bubble up to the surface from within the murk inside my skull.”  \nNate Phillips\nhttps://www.phillipsart.net/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/_nattousan_

SUMMARY:Great Lake Swimmers w/ Abe Partridge
DESCRIPTION:Great Lake Swimmers w/ Abe Partridge\nGreat Lake Swimmers\nFeaturing a blend of acoustic instruments\, rural soundscapes\, and wistful vocals\, Great LakeSwimmers are a critically acclaimed indie-folk group led by songwriter/vocalist Tony Dekker. Based in Toronto\, Ontario\, the group emerged in the early 2000s with a succession of heavily atmospheric albums recorded in old silos and rural country churches. The music developed in that pastoral warmth\, performed and recorded in acoustically unique and historical locales with a revolving cast of personnel. They are renowned for their homespun folk and lush\, intimateAmericana in their live set. \nGreat Lake Swimmers celebrate their 20th anniversary in 2023 with “Uncertain Country\,” an album where doubts are followed by discovery\, demos end up as finished tracks\, and themes of new beginnings\, rear-view reflections\, and ruminations on the fluidity of time form the basis of the eleven new songs. \nIt follows a prolonged period of collective anxiety. Recorded in different locales—and with a variety of musicians—a theme of questioning runs throughout. Even before the world turned upside down\, Dekker felt mired in uncertainty: from the climate crisis to the ever-changing political landscape. The “uncertain country” chosen as the album’s theme is not a specific place. Rather\, it’s a territory we\, as humans \,inhabit in the 21st century — a world that\, more often than not\, is confusing\, unfamiliar and unsettling. \n“Moonlight\, Stay Above”epitomizes what Great Lake Swimmers represents. A 10-voice strong women’s choir(Niagara’s Minuscule) lifts the lonely-sounding and wistful song up. As with that addition\, the band on each album is fluid and always evolving. \nGreat Lake Swimmers were shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and nominated twice for Canada’s Juno Awards\, with the CBC calling them “a national treasure.” \n“Dekker’s preoccupation with the Canadian state of mind flourishes in his lyrics. Few songwriters are able to convey the country’s harsh beauty as well. …Canadian folk tradition personified in the 21st century” – Exclaim! \n“Dekker has done a masterful job of finding that balance on The Waves\, the Wake\, which has enough connections to the past to satisfy long-time fans of Great Lake Swimmers even while the singer looks to the future and moves forward as an artist.” – The Georgia Straight \n“A minimalist\, atmospheric compendium of songs with a sonic environment the listener can easily get lost in.” – TheVue \n“Ambient ZenAmericana” – Mojo
