The Artist Preservation Group Mission Statement:

The Artist Preservation Group is a gathering of like-minded historical artists whose mission is to generate capital, through fundraising and donations, to aide in the preservation and restoration of  threatened historical sites and/or artifacts.

We are committed to using our artistic talents to actively support historical sites as they continue their dedication to the preservation, restoration, and interpretation of events that shaped history.

We are pleased to announce that our 2007-2008 project will be the restoration of a painting from the Dunsmore Collection currently in the care of Fraunces Tavern in New York City. The painting "News from Yorktown" is one of 45 paintings depicting important events from the American Revolution.

Pete Culos will be heading up The Dunsmore Project

Money raised as a result of the Gettysburg Project contributed to the preservation of this Confederate Skirmishers' Drill and Bayonet Exercise Manual printed in Richmond, Virginia in 1861. The manual will go on display in the new National Park Service Visitors Center and Museum in Gettysburg when built.
