Who We Are

We are a growing group of volunteers with a big dream: to establish in Buffalo a place to display and exhibit religious art from the various faith traditions in our community.

We are blessed with many talented members of our team. We have preservationists and historians, community leaders and art lovers, optimists and people of faith. All share a passion to create something special and unique in our city. But we need your help to make this dream a reality.

Please join us in our effort to create a religious arts center in Buffalo. Contact us at info@buffaloreligiousarts.org, or using the form on our contact page.
