Their Beginning: 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.

Hours and Location:
134-1/2 W. Second St. Flint, MI 48502
