Preserving music, art, history, and culture isn’t just putting something on a shelf, it’s not an item to be held on a pedestal. Preservation is an act between generations coming together.
Culture isn’t a building or an institution, it’s not an image or even words- it’s the relationships between people and a tendency to congregate, and in congregating in our favorite local bars and restaurants we find ourselves immersed in the history of buildings as we create our own stories. During 2020 many of us have been looking to the past for answers to our personal understanding. In the struggles that many small businesses and nonprofits are experiencing right now history and culture translate into civic involvement and commitment to the community. This means we get to set the standards for our culture together. The heart and soul of culture are found in generational participation, this is where we set the standards.
All of the proceeds go directly to the stated small business and a small nonprofit organization in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“It has been said that, at its best, preservation engages the past in a conversation with the present over a mutual concern for the future.” -William J. Murtagh, Keeping Time: The History and Theory of Preservation in America (New York: Sterling Publishing Co., Inc., 1988), p. 168.
