Buckham Fine Arts Project

The Buckham Fine Arts Project was founded in late 1983 and early 1984 by a group of Flint area artists who saw the need for an exhibition and performance venue in Flint that would direct its creative attention to presenting ambitious work on a major scale for the arts public. The Gallery’s purpose then, as now, was to offer contemporary arts in all forms for the benefit of the Flint and Mid-Michigan Are and to enrich and enhance cultural life by presenting works and concepts that are not being provided by other organizations in the area.

Buckham mounted its first exhibition in May of 1984. In the ensuing years, well over tow hundred fifth exhibitions of visual art and a very substantial number of poetry readings, performance art events and dance, music and film presentation have been offered to the Flint area and Mid-Michigan audiences.

Buckham has been supported since its founding by the considerable efforts of its artist and associate members and by community volunteers as well through member dues, individual and corporate contributions, and fund raising efforts and by means of other gifts and grants.
