Calling all WNY Christian creatives…whether you are a professional, aspiring to, or have a hobby in the “arts” (painter, photographer, sculptor, woodworker, and/or designer) here is a win-win opportunity to showcase your skills or passions while also supporting a local community in need this September!
The Buffalo Project Lab’s Arts Industry Table, in collaboration with Kingdom Bound and local churches, have put together a gallery, Beauty that Remains, to both showcase art from the heart of Christians in WNY, and benefit the Sheridan Parkside Life Center which serves the impoverished neighborhood it was established in.
