BUFFALO, NY — The City of Buffalo Department of Public Works is preparing to begin construction in the area around the AKG Art Museum and campus.

According to a press release from the AKG, “During the construction period, there will be no pedestrian access to the portion of the campus located within the perimeter of the construction fence. The City’s ongoing work will not interrupt or disrupt Buffalo AKG’s planned summer programming, including the Lipsey Summer Jazz Series. or use of the east patio of the Seymour H. Knox Building.
