Join us for a special one-night show of the UB Small Built Works Program, a design-build studio led by architect Brad Wales.
The exhibition includes drawings and models from SUN_FOOD_WATER, an affordable housing studio; benches from the Old First Ward Benches Project; and also “on view” is our gallery space itself! Our recently restored “black box in a white cube” design dates from a gut renovation initially completed by the Small Built Works Program in 2005.
