The Accidental Preservationist: Artists, Artisans, Outliers & the Future of Historic Preservation
October 17, 2014 |
On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, the James Marston Fitch Charitable Foundation will present The Accidental Preservationist: Artists, Artisans, Outliers & the Future of Historic Preservation – a day long multi-disciplinary symposium exploring the influence of non-traditional practitioners of historic preservation on architectural revitalization throughout the United States.
Speakers at the symposium will include individuals from across the United States who don’t necessarily call themselves preservationists but whose work and passions link them to old architecture and cityscapes. We are inviting artists and entrepreneurs who are inspired by buildings and places; directors of arts organizations, housing activists, and urban health advocates who are closely connected to the historic buildings and neighborhoods they interact with; artisans and makers whose craft is tied to the places where they work.
