The Western New York Book Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening of its latest exhibition, A Buffalo Alphabet: A-Z by Dana Jenkins. The opening reception will take place at The Western New York Book Arts Center gallery, 468 Washington Street in downtown Buffalo on Friday, November 2nd from 6-9pm.
A Buffalo Alphabet: A-Z is a beautiful, alphabetized watercolor series celebrating countless aspects of the Queen City; from realistic representations of Buffalo landmarks, to the exploration of profound concepts such as diversity, steadfastness, and heritage. According to Jenkins, “this series is about a straightforward place that has a history worth exploring.”
Jenkins worked with WNYBAC Studio Director, Chris Fritton, to letterpress print the letters “A” through “Z” onto the series of 26 watercolor paintings. The font featured in this series is Winchell, a lead typeface originally designed in Buffalo in 1893, later digitized by WNYBAC founder Richard Kegler, and re-created in wood type by Chris Fritton.
