Specialties: Incubator: Big Orbit functions as a creator of culture. By focusing on emerging artists of exceptional quality, Big Orbit engages in the evolution of artistic trends while continuously producing the next generation of visual artists displayed in the museums of the world. In this role, Big Orbit educates the museums and the public on what's breaking new ground in the visual arts.
Champion: Big Orbit is committed to the precept that the visual arts are essential to an open, enlightened society. It therefore seeks to advance an inclusive cultural dialogue by providing resources to artists reflecting a diverse society and by affirming that freedom of artistic expression is fundamental to such a society and must be vigorously protected.
Risk Taker: Big Orbit presents art of a challenging nature. We offer artists the opportunity and the financial means to produce large-scale works unhindered by the restrictions typically imposed by larger institutions. This philosophy allows for the greatest possible level of artistic freedom and expression while maximizing dialogue between the artist, the artwork, and the audience.
Regional Advocate: Big Orbit is the only multidisciplinary arts organization in Buffalo that focuses on the art and artists of Western New York. By providing significant opportunities that advance their careers, Big Orbit propels regional artists into the national and international spotlight, directing the world's attention on our exciting cultural achievements. Established in 1991. Since its inception in 1991, Big Orbit Gallery has been an artist-run arts center dedicated to transcultural, multidisciplinary explorations of contemporary art issues, with its primary focus being the promotion of the art and artists of Western New York.
Through programming that ranges everything from painting and performance art to architectural installations and live sound sculpture, Big Orbit extends the legacy of artistic innovation historically associated with Buffalo, providing a basis for the creation of new boundary-pushing work. The gallery encourages the under-represented, emerging and established artists in the community through solo exhibition opportunities, and curated group exhibits promoting social awareness.
By embracing many artistic disciplines, including visual, performance, and media arts, Big Orbit takes great pride in establishing a creative dialogue between artists and community while raising awareness of the arts developing in Western New York.
