For more than a generation, Just Buffalo Literary Center has connected the Western New York community with great voices in literature. Many people over many years have contributed to Just Buffalo's growth and vitality. We created the Literary Legacy Award to honor individuals who have made a significant contribution to the literary legacy of Buffalo.

The dinner itself is a biennial fundraiser for the organization, which includes a catered meal, an awards ceremony and a gift of a broadside of a poem by Sherry Robbins. It is also a special occasion to come together as a literary community. We hope you can join us!

Just Buffalo's exciting afterschool program, RECLAIMING BUFFALO, in collaboration with CEPA Gallery, is currently enrolling students (ages 11-16) for Winter & Spring sessions.

Combining photography, creative writing, and computer literacy, this unique program has already received rave reviews. Young artists begins by photographing spaces in their community that they would like to "reclaim." Using PhotoShop and creative writing, students learn to express their vision for the future.

Finished artworks are featured in an exhibition at CEPA Gallery and on bus shelters throughout the city. There is NO COST to participate in this program.
