August 28 – November 6, 2026

Opening Reception: Friday, August 28, 2026, 5:00–8:00 pm
Part of M&T Fourth Friday

Bethany Krull will present Home, an installation of porcelain and mixed-media works exploring the complex, often contradictory relationships between humans, animals, and the natural world. Bethany Krull is a Buffalo, New York-based artist working in clay (primarily porcelain) for over twenty-five years. Her practice is expansive and has led to explorations in many other materials that make their way into the work, which is rooted in love of nature, formal aesthetics, and the fears and desires surrounding our species’ impact on the environment and other creatures. She teaches in both community and academic settings, maintains an active studio, and exhibits both nationally and internationally.

Robert Booth will present Presence, an installation of altered functional objects—such as pencils, houses, and envelopes—that, once removed from their practical use, gain symbolic significance.

He received his BFA in sculpture from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1976 and his MFA from Syracuse University in 1978. He has presented his work in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions over the past thirty years, including one-man shows at the Burchfield Penney in 1995 and 2015. A Distinguished Teaching Professor at the State University of New York, Fredonia, he has been in charge of the sculpture curriculum there since 1978.
