Erie County Art in Public Places Winner! Scott Olmstead
Project Background:
In 2023, the Erie County Legislature passed a Local Law that provides ongoing financial support for public art. The law seeks to make art more accessible to county residents and visitors and foster a sense of community connection and civic pride. The Arts in Public Places Committee was established to support the initiative by commissioning, selecting, placing, and preserving public art in a variety of media throughout the county.
The Arts in Public Places Committee is committed to enhancing Erie County’s public spaces with the inclusion of artwork that reflects the diversity and creativity of the local community. As part of this commitment, the Committee will consider the purchase of small works of art to be displayed inside the Buffalo Convention Center. Once purchased, small works may be moved periodically for display in other county-owned buildings, such as government offices, libraries, and community centers, where they can be enjoyed by the public and contribute to a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere. This initiative provides local artists with an opportunity to contribute to the aesthetic and cultural landscape of the region while promoting public engagement with the arts.

Geometric Abstract Art
Geometric abstract art is a captivating and enduring style of art that uses simple geometric shapes (like squares, circles, and triangles), lines, and colors to create compositions, focusing on form and spatial relationships rather than recognizable subjects. Emerging in the early 20th century, it represented a significant departure from traditional, representational art, seeking a universal language that could transcend cultural and linguistic barriers.
