Buckham Fine Arts Project + Buckham Gallery

Buckham Fine Arts Project was established in 1984 by a core group of highly motivated working artists and arts advocates from the Flint area. The founders of this then new nonprofit organization built their passion directly into its mission: to enrich the cultural life of its surrounding communities by presenting a broad range of innovative contemporary art, both visual and non-visual, of the highest quality and standard.

Now better known as Buckham Gallery, our artist-led collective holds true to its vision of supporting and nurturing artists, building community and inclusivity, while challenging our audience to engage with and look at art in new ways. Buckham fulfills its mission by presenting gallery exhibitions featuring work by local, regional, and national artists and through complementary programming, including artist talks and panel discussions presented in-house and online. Our exhibition programming challenges our community to deeply engage with contemporary art and diverse contemporary cultural programming.

In addition to exhibitions, Buckham hosts events including Flint’s ARTWALK, literary arts readings, live music performances, Artist Talks, and other programming such as the Writer In Residence and nationally juried literary arts anthology in a multifaceted outreach effort.
