Mohawk Place

Art Echoing Sound

Mohawk Place, a long-standing musical staple of the Buffalo music scene, is known for introducing talented emerging artists, and we are committed to carrying that tradition forward. We are also growing, expanding our genres, and welcoming new artists from a wide spectrum of sounds.

To help us express this developing direction, we commissioned Buffalo's own Marie Wustner to be our Resident Artist. Wustner’s background in cultural curation, public art, and community engagement made her an excellent collaborator to visually represent the sound of our future programming. This collection is part of a larger initiative Wustner is spearheading across the city, using public art and shared spaces to celebrate our community's kaleidoscopic cultural landscape.

Throughout the space, you will see visual representations of artists from different cultures and musical styles. The high-contrast black and white mural featured here is one of many pieces Wustner has brought to life. The featured trumpet player is Mario Abney, a Chicago-based jazz musician whose visceral musicality represents the foundational roots of American music—a lineage that has driven a vibrant, shape-shifting evolution of sound from blues and country to metal and beyond. This is an example of the emotion and relevance Wustner's art brings to the Mohawk Place aesthetic.

While restoring the venue, we honor Mohawk's original punk roots with its classic black-box, sticker-laden, dive bar feel. Each piece is carefully curated to echo our past and future sounds with a resonance that welcomes all.

Merch alert! We have three shows this weekend (Fri / Sat / Sun) - if you’re looking to get a Mohawk tee or zip hoodie or gift card - now is the time to stop on in during the show to buy what you want.
