The Buffalo AKG has been shaped over generations by visionary leaders who understood that great museums are not static. They evolve dynamically, each era leaving a distinct imprint on a shared and storied history. From bold collecting strategies to pioneering exhibitions and physical transformations, the AKG's long arc of excellence has been guided by individuals who brought clarity of purpose—and the courage to act on it.  

Join us to celebrate Janne and Sonja Sirén, whose leadership united an entire community of artists, patrons, trustees, staff, and civic leaders in a chapter of extraordinary accomplishment in the life of the Buffalo AKG.   

Together, we will celebrate the progress we have made, the leadership that helped make it possible, and the future we have yet to create.
