Orchard Park, NY – This past Saturday, the Buffalo Bills and Developments by JEM, a certified Minority/Women-owned Business, joined local artists and community members to host Community Art Day at Buffalo AKG Art Museum. The focus of the event was to provide Buffalo-based BuffaLUG (Buffalo LEGO User Group) and Rocks of Unity™ with artistic support as they prepare works that will be featured in Highmark Stadium, which will open later this year.
"We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host Community Art Day than Buffalo AKG," said Penny Semaia, VP of Stadium Relations. "The size and scope of art that will heighten the aesthetic of Highmark Stadium is significant and Saturday's event was a wonderful way to assist two local groups with their large-scale projects that will be featured in Highmark Stadium as part of the Public Art Program presented by VictoryLive."

At Saturday's event, community members joined Rocks of Unity to personalize rocks for an installation that celebrates positivity, kindness, and community. In addition, participants assisted BuffaLUG, which centers on LEGO as a medium for storytelling and engagement.
Eric Santiago, project manager and founder of BuffaLUG is an artist and builder. He has led large-scale collaborative projects that celebrate local culture and invite hands-on participation. BuffaLUG team members include Mark Mancuso (Operations Manager), Jeremy Killion (Production Manager), and Buffalo LEGO artists, Jonathan Breidert, Alan Gryf, Ryan Conroy, Paul Paulin, along with over 2000 community Lego builders.
Rocks of Unity, founded by Alexa Zappia, partnered with Megan McElfresh, Executive Director of the Stained Glass Association of America (SGAA), lead this focused brand of educational workshops, geared towards individuals of all ages, which affirms diversity as a strength through kindness, acceptance, and unity. Rocks of Unity invites people of all backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and social distinctiveness to come together, decorate a rock that expresses their identity, and then turn these creations into permanent art installations. This can be in the form of diverse rock gardens, rock walls, walkways, and more.
These artist teams and community members make up one component of the overall Buffalo Bills Public Art Program at Highmark Stadium which will feature over 40 artists & teams. The full group of artists will be announced soon.
