Committee For The Buffalo Religious Arts Center Inc

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.
