Textile Curiosities
Step into a world where art and nature converge in a display of faux-taxidermy moth and butterfly sculptures. Aleah Ford, known as “Moth On The Wall,” invites you to experience the enchanting realm of these ephemeral creatures through her meticulously crafted works. In this exhibition, Aleah’s sculptures come to life using textiles, wire, faux fur, clay, and flocking. The sculptures are presented within shadow boxes, reminiscent of Victorian curiosity cabinets, inviting viewers to step back in time to an era of exploration and discovery. Each box offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Lepidoptera.

Buffalo’s Horrific History

We’ve collected Buffalo’s 7 most notorious examples of murder, mystery and mayhem for you to enjoy this Halloween season. These eight amazing stories are brought to life on a lantern-lit tour inside an abandoned grain silo. Each story is graphically depicted in a huge chalk mural inside the silo.
The Evil Stories

Costumed guides will bring to life the deadly and amazing stories spanning more than 350 years of local history during this 50 minute indoor walking tour. The stories are graphically depicted by giant chalk hand drawn murals created by a local artist exclusively for this event.
Stories include:
-A local Jack the Ripper Suspect
-When Buffalo was burned to the ground
-A Ouija Board love-triangle topless model murder
Plus many others!
