Subject: [BCMA] religious inspired paintings


Hello, the Oliver and District Heritage Society is deaccessioning religious inspired paintings. The artist created them out of passion, and while they have the appearance of Russian iconography, they are not. I reached out to a variety of organizations and cultural centres that deal with this subject, but have not had success in finding a proper home. I'm wondering if anyone in the museum community can provide suggestions.
Thankyou so much!

Kind Regards,
Janell Lancaster
