New art show opens in Roswell Park's gallery

A new exhibition titled "Hallwalls Founding Artists From the Gerald Mead Collection" has opened at the Art Heals Gallery on the first floor of Roswell Park's main campus in Buffalo. Running from June 2 to August 28, 2025, the show features 18 works in various media by seven artists—Diane Bertolo, Charles Clough, Nancy Dwyer, Robert Longo, Larry Lundy, Cindy Sherman, and Michael Zwack—who founded Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center in 1974. The exhibition coincides with Hallwalls' 50th anniversary celebration and draws from the private collection of Gerald Mead, an award-winning artist, educator, and leading authority on Western New York art.
