Conference Film and Geneva Pub Crawl

The 2015 New York Statewide Preservation Conference theme is The Art of Preservation: Painting Your Community’s Future. Join us at our conference headquarters, the restored Smith Opera House in the Finger Lakes city of Geneva as we explore the role that the arts can play in helping us revitalize buildings and communities. We’ll also explore historic preservation as an art form unto itself–each building, each landscape, each community that we seek to revive requires a unique approach involving partnerships, funding sources and creative problem-solving.

This year’s Conference film fits perfectly with our theme, combining the arts, downtown revitalization, and adaptive reuse into one fabulous story.

Immediately following the film, a panel will answer questions and discuss the role that the arts and large institutions can play in revitalizing communities. Panelists will include:

After the film and panel discussion join us on a Geneva Pub Crawl. We will depart from the Smith Opera House immediately following the film and panel discussion. Free t-shirts to the first 25 registrants! And lots of great local watering holes!

A ticket for the film is included with your Conference registration, or tickets can be purchased separately. Tickets for the general public will also be available at the door for $10. >>Click here to return to the main Conference page to purchase your tickets!
