Kingdom Bound Ministries, in partnership with Project Lab's Art Industry Table, will host “Beauty That Remains,” a community art gallery and creative arts experience from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19, in Buffalo. The event will bring together visual artists from across Western New York and beyond for a day celebrating creativity, community, and the redemptive beauty that can be found in every neighborhood. Artists will have the opportunity to display and sell their work while engaging directly with attendees through a variety of interactive artistic experiences.

Held in Buffalo's Sheridan Parkside neighborhood, the gallery's theme, “Beauty That Remains,” seeks to highlight the enduring beauty of God's creation, the resilience of local communities, and the value of every person.

"Through the arts, we have a unique opportunity to bring people together, tell meaningful stories, and reflect the beauty of God in places where it is often overlooked," said Mike Wing, Kingdom Bound Ministries associate director.

In addition to the gallery, the event will feature hands-on artistic experiences for attendees, including painting, pottery, decorative arts and other creative activities designed to foster connection and artistic expression.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Sheridan Parkside Life Center's literacy initiatives for local children. Funds will be raised through artist participation fees, donated artwork raffles, food vendor partnerships, direct giving opportunities, and select creative experiences offered during the event.

“Beauty That Remains” is currently accepting artist applications and welcomes submissions from visual artists working in a variety of mediums. For more information or to apply, visit: https://artist.callforentry.org/festivals_unique_info.php?ID=17519
