The Buffalo Religious Arts Center
THE BUFFALO RELIGIOUS ART CENTER (BRAC) HAS A THREEFOLD PURPOSE: BRAC WAS ESTABLISHED TO PRESERVE THIS ARCHITECTURALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDING THAT IS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. SECONDLY BRAC DISPAYS ART FROM THE CLOSED CHURCHES OF BUFFALO AND THIRDLY STANDS AS A TESTIMONIAL TO THE PEOPLE WHO CREATED THIS ART. THE STAINED GLASS WINDOWS, STATUARY AND ARTWORK THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED PROVIDE A UNIQUE INSIGHT INTO BUFFALO'S CULTURE AS WELL AS ARTISTIC HISTORY. THESE ARTIFACTS REVEAL THE ETHNIC STYLE OF THE THOUSANDS OF EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS WHO CAME TO BUFFALO OVER THE PAST CENTURIES. DESPITE THEIR POVERTY, THEY WERE ABLE TO GIFT US WITH AN AMAZING DIVERSITY OF RELIGIOUS DECORATIVE STYLES.

Preserving Buffalos Religious Artistic Heritage Our Mission Keeping Heritage Alive The Buffalo Religious Arts Center was established in 2008 to collect and preserve fine art from the many houses of worship that were forced to close their doors. The Art Center is one of the few galleries in the United States housed in a former church and dedicated to the preservation of religious art. Window Restoration This religious art from other shuttered churches include stained glass windows statuary oil and watercolor paintings and murals. This art work was made by the many Europeans who immigrated during the early 1900s and despite their poverty were able to leave us with these unique artistic creations.
