Working Artists Lab

Leading figures in the arts are invited by the Arts Collaboratory to engage with the UB and Buffalo arts community over the course of a semester. In fall 2021, hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash was the artist in residence, working directly with students to "tell hip-hop's whole story."
