First Niagara to Help Launch Buffalo Arts and
Technology Center
In January, First Niagara announced its plans to partner with the John R. Oishei
Foundation, Empire State Development Corporation and Community Foundation
for Greater Buffalo to establish the Buffalo Arts and Technology Center (BATC).
The center, potentially to be located at Artspace Buffalo, 1219 Main St., is
expected to debut in late 2012, offering after-school visual arts programs for at-risk
urban high school students, as well as health sciences career training for underemployed and unemployed adults. Training will be geared toward specific positions
at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus and throughout the local health care sector.
More than $3 million in public-private seed money has been earmarked for design
and build-out of vacant commercial space on the first and lower floors of Artspace
to accommodate the youth and adult programs. The unusual marriage of art and
vocational training programs is modeled after entrepreneur Bill Strickland’s highly
successful Manchester Bidwell Corporation in Pittsburgh, a two-pronged template
for social change which dates back four decades.
