Newcomers, a display of photographic portraits of refugees by Lukia Costello, will be on display at Arts Underground, 66 East Main Street from May 3 to June 6.
As, one of a handful of US cities that host refugee resettlement, Buffalo NY is an Ellis Island for a new era. From 2010 -2011 alone, 3000 refugees from countries like Burma, Somalia, and Bhutan have found new lives here. As an adult ESL (English as a Second Language) instructor with the Buffalo Public Schools, Costello had the honor of working with refugees on daily basis.
A recent NYFA Independent Artist Commission recipient, Costello’s work has been exhibited and locally, nationally and internationally. She is a member of the New York Times Freelance Pool and the American Society of Media Photographers.
Join us for a FREE artist’s talk on May 29 at 7pm at Arts Underground.
