This artisan gallery was born during the pandemic. When art shows and festivals were cancelled, Melissa Buckley saw an opportunity to support local and regional artists.
She opened The Rusty Button Shop in East Aurora with a specific mission in mind. She wanted to create a place where artists, including herself, could continue to create and sell their work.
