Save the Arts were found in 2004 by Mr. Rasheem Pugh, native of Newark, New Jersey. The STA is the first award show honoring Painters, sculptors, architects, photographers and other like visual artists from across the country. Mr. Pugh’s ultimate goal for Save the Arts Foundation and Save the Arts Awards is to share his love of visual arts and music by opening the Save the Arts Center. The mission of the Save the Arts Foundation is to acknowledge great works by many who contributed to the art and design of the world and preserve its future through creating resources in the form of a facility for youth to continue its legacy.
This year’s show is sponsored by High Point University, BMW, Lotus, Jaguar, Cadillac, Audi and Fisker.
