Summer Lunch 2017
August 29, 2017
We had another successful year at the Artfarms summer lunch program at the tree table at Michigan-Riley Farm! Our program coordinator and volunteers handed out free lunches on weekdays to families and youth from the neighborhood, helping us continue to build relationships with the surrounding community.
We also had lots of fun activities going on - from face-painting to hula hooping, bubbles, chalk, and art projects.
We were thrilled to have our friends from Buffalo BookBike join us again this year, passing out free books to the youth who visited the site.
Artfarms Fall Celebration at Michigan-Riley Farm
25 October 2015
Artfarms hosted its first Fall Celebration at Michigan-Riley Farm on Sunday, October 25. It was a community event that featured fall-themed foods and art activities for youth and families.
Families from the surrounding neighborhood and beyond came to the tree table to participate in lots of fall activities, including pumpkin painting, mask-making and face painting.
We received a generous donation of pumpkins from Dash's Market, which we lined up in a "pumpkin patch" where the children could pick their own pumpkin to decorate.
Paula's Donuts donated treats for our guests to enjoy, along with locally grown apples donated by the Farmer Pirates and delicious apple cider. For more pictures, check out our Facebook page!
Fall and Rise - Updates
15 July 2015
After months of planning, the city has agreed to sell two parcels of land where “Fall and Rise” will be installed on the Wilson Street Urban Farm. The farm, located centrally in the Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood, has been crucial for the local farming movement, furnishing a delicious CSA and providing insight to others looking to farm vacant plots. We want to thank them for their patience during this planning phase, and we look forward to seeing this monumental sculpture installed on their farm.

Pavilion for Forgotten Skies
15 July 2015
“Pavilion for Forgotten Skies”, a new sculpture proposal from artist Matthew Walker for the Pelion Community Garden. Sculpture was designed to engage the adjacent school in topics such as anthropology, geometry, botany and structural design.
From the artist:
“The first thing we did when we learned to control electricity was to turn the lights on, and they have rarely been off ever since. When night lost its influence on our lives, we also lost the insights that it provides. The alternative cycles that it offers; its rich variety and complexity; its counter rhythms and asymmetry; its spatial and spiritual nuance.
The geometric movements of the night sky inspire both musical and mathematical expressions, while it pulls at us with its gravity. Night offers us a connection to the invisible dark matter that is at the center of life’s greater questions. Night is the moon’s influence on biological life; and, the meanings we have extrapolated from the stars; it is the view away from the regular rise and fall of the sun, and it’s time that we count. When we lost our sky we lost our true connectivity, and we entered what Clark Strand has called ‘the most persistent of all illusions: that human progress is the reason for the world’.
I am proposing an informal architecture for the Pelion Garden that will serve as a pavilion to these forgotten skies. The structure is modeled after indigenous architectures and will co-function as an ecological structure. From street level the work will appear as an 8’ high x 300 sq’ hugelkulture (garden mound) with a 20’ domestic windmill-generator. Planting in collaboration with the Pelion Garden will include exploring night blooming plants. The pavilion, situated within this mound, will be accessed through the garden by a wheelchair accessible pathway and a lockable entrance door.”
Now in the planning phase, we anticipate the sculpture to be installed in the Spring of 2016.
Tree from Space
29 October 2014
Our first sculpture, Tree, by artist Michael Beitz, can now be seen from Google Earth! The sculpture was installed on the Michigan Riley Farm in May of 2014.
Head over to the Info page to check out our interactive Project Area map. We'll updated it periodically as the project progresses.
11 October 2014
Artfarms joined volunteers from the Junior League of Buffalo at the abandoned Public School 57 in Broadway Fillmore to turn some boarded up windows into a public art project. The building will someday be home to the Matt Urban Hope Center and multiple residences for women and children.

Michigan Riley Farm
20 August 2014
The farmers at Michigan Riley Farm were the first group to receive an agri-sculpture, Tree, which was installed in late May of this year.
From the farm:
Michigan Riley Farm, in Buffalo’s Masten Park neighborhood, was founded in 2011 on twelve formerly vacant lots purchased at the city foreclosure auction. The land is owned cooperatively by members of the Farmer Pirates Cooperative and leased long-term to the Michigan Riley farmers. The farm is run as a combination urban farm and community garden where farmers pledge more of their time and get to share in profits from sales and gardeners may come and go as they wish, but get to keep a share of produce on days that they work.
The first season at Michigan Riley was dedicated to soil testing and building, with food production limited to the farm’s southern half and all produce going to Michigan Riley’s farmers and gardeners. The 2013 season will see the opening of Michigan Riley’s farm stand as well as limited food production on the farm’s north side.

Buffalo Green Code
05 February 2014
Studying the newly drafted Buffalo Green Code carefully for specific "Place-Based Planning" civic allowances that relate to our project.
2.2 Embrace arts and culture as economic drivers
-Support public art installations in strategic locations
6.5 Establish interim uses for vacant land
- Permit the development of community gardens on public lands, with landscaping and beauticiation standards that ensure community benefit
- Allow pilot projects for aestheticlly-pleasing...urban agriculture within high-vacancy blocks to reduce City maintenance expense
We're trying to align our efforts with these topics in order to achieve the most meaningful result.
Fall and Rise

Tree
15 January 2014
Concept rendering of Michael Beitz's Tree table.
From the Artist:
My intent with the Artfarms project is to repurpose, change, and rethink the use of certain spaces throughout the city, especially in terms of art, food and community. The Tree table design is a means of promoting these important facets of our lives through merging the symbolic forms of the tree and the classic picnic table. Both forms recall our connection to family and friends and the time we share. The design transforms the traditional manner in which we might sit together and offers an opportunity for large communal gatherings. Fruit trees surround the table, creating a pleasant sensory experience. The space will offer people of all ages an opportunity to rest, contemplate, marvel at the trees, pick some apples and interact with others. My hope for the future of the orchard is that it will provide a beautiful place to come together. I envision events such as family reunions, community organization meetings, fundraisers and friendly gatherings.
