Through a series of interviews, the students learned about all the good work people are doing in #buffalony.<\/p>\n<p>To honor the \u2018agents of change\u2019, their portraits are featured as a public artwork. There will also be an opening ceremony event on June 5 at 612 Fillmore Ave where students will share readings as part of the project. We encourage you to check out the public artwork at five points before or after the opening ceremony, if you are planning to attend!<\/p>\n<p>Photo credit: Jon Piret<\/p>\n<div
