I'm sorry to hear that Ted Pietrzak is leaving the Burchfield Penney Art Center-- his leadership brought about a significant local improvement that has been insufficiently heralded. People complain that it is impossible to get anything done in this town, but Ted very quietly managed to raise a big pile of dough and turn a gallery that was amounted to a nice collection of stuff in Buff State's attic into a major cultural attraction. I'll always love the Burchfield Penney because he let us do a fashion shoot there for Spree right before it opened, and the experience of playing in the nearly finished space was an absolute blast.
