In 2012-2013 we marked our 50th year of service in Western New York. A banner yearwas celebrated, culminating with the unveiling of a 32 x 80 foot mural on Grant Streeton Buffalo’s West Side. The Grant Street Global Voices project forms a new partnershipwith Buffalo State College and its Community Academic Center, and Buffalo PublicSchools International School 45 and Lafayette High School. This was made possible by the National Endowment for the Arts and other sponsors.
