Preservation as an Art Form The North Brevard Heritage Foundation presents the "Preservation as an Art Form" exhibition in the Brevard Community College Titusville campus library beginning Monday, January 18, 2009. The exhibition will feature art, artifacts, photographs, and other materials that focus on, and creatively interpret, the Foundation's preservation efforts at the historic Pritchard House and Brevard Heritage Park. Objects found at structures such as the 1891 Clifton Schoolhouse, the Hutcheson Barn, and the Mims Train Depot will be incorporated into the exhibit. While celebrating local history, the "Preservation as an Art Form" exhibition will also demonstrate the environmentally friendly theme that "Preservation is Green." The exhibition will be on display during the 2009 Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. You are cordially invited to visit exhibition in the BCC Titusville Campus Library in Building 5.
