Welcome to Painting for Preservation!
Welcome to Painting for Preservation! This initiative, founded by artist Sara M. Zak, is aimed at drawing attention to distressed, at-risk, and under-utilized historic locations through on site art making.
Mission: To bring together artists of all media in support of historic distressed properties and communities. To create artwork on-site related to the location as a means of raising positive awareness of the space. My hope is that we can continue this effort in Buffalo and expand the concept to other architecturally rich cities. Please e-mail Sara M. Zak if you are interested in starting a Painting for Preservation initiative in your city at info@paintingforpreservation.org
Our goals:
1. Raise awareness of at-risk, distressed and under-utilized locations and their neighborhoods
2. Create a record of historically rich locations through art
3. Create a community of artists invested in the urban landscape 4. Bring exposure and provide assistance to artists interested in documenting at-risk historic neighborhoods while also collaborating with members of those same neighborhoods.
5. Involve communities in sharing their stories of local historic architectural and their neighborhoods.
