Please Chose a Book & Take a Closer Look
Our books are dedicated to all the artists that have come before and deserve to have their journey shared and story told. From years of experience, it became evident that family, friends, and associates often don't retain and pass down crucial documents, such as articles, exhibition records, and professional correspondence, these are frequently discarded or overlooked. We would like to ensure that such materials are preserved, providing a historical record of the artist and their work for future reference by appraisers, archivists, and researchers. ARM (Arts Rescue Mission) 501 c3 Charity, is an virtual outreach organization supporting aging artists in the Visual, Performing, and Literary Arts, with crowdsource funding, awareness events, and programs, to Restore, Shelter, Provide, and Preserve their work.

From years of experience, it has become evident that while family members often retain and pass down artwork, crucial documents, such as articles, exhibition records, and professional correspondence, are frequently discarded or overlooked. We would like to ensure that such materials are preserved, providing a historical record of the artist and their work for future reference by appraisers, archivists, and researchers. This is a lengthy and expensive four-step process that's involves photography, scanning, tagging the photos and scanned images, and putting them together in Excel files chronologically. We are recreating a life and there are lots of judgment calls while setting up an Excel file which oftentimes more than a 1000 entries in a professional performing or visual artist's lifetime. This is essential work as the book closes on a lifetime of accomplishment but it's often neglected because of the expense. Click Here to earmark your donation to our PRESERVE program.
