BUFFALO, NY (WKBW-TV) — It is mistaken for a food truck all the time says the man who drives the Albright-Knox Art Truck all over Western New York. Vicente Rondon says, smiling, "Too many times people have asked me if I have ice cream in here."

The Art Truck, sponsored Highmark of Western New York, is on a mission according to Vicente "The art truck is an initiative by the Albright-Knox art gallery to bring art activities as well as art supplies to different community centers all over Western New York."

He travels to schools, libraries and other non-profit organizations and oversees a variety of art activities. "It's really fun to bring to different audiences whether it's children, adults, individuals with disabilities, or senior citizens."

Vicente's first love is photography and he has a degree in art. He says "Every time I'm doing an art truck activity, if it has to do with drawing, I'm learning as well."
