The Essex Arts Center, located on Essex Street on Buffalo's
West Side, was started by Larry W. Griffis Jr.
in 1969 to serve as a place for artists to live, create, show their work and
grow as creative individuals. The Center was the first of its kind in Buffalo and was ahead of
its time. The complex has many studios presently occupied by painters,
musicians, sculptors, photographers, draftsman, filmmakers, and Big Orbit
Gallery. The complex itself is a turn-of-the-century Ice House and is composed
of four buildings.
The Essex Arts Center
is part of the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which also operates Griffis Sculpture
Park in Ashford Hollow, New York.
