300 for 300: Patricia Gay

2018

A portrait of Patricia Gay commissioned by Nola Media Group, producers of NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune as part of its tricentennial project, 300 for 300: People who make New Orleans, New Orleans. Patricia Gay's passion for preservation grew out of her experience as a volunteer with the Junior League in the early 1970s, when members of the service organization were becoming concerned about the rampant demolition of the city's historic buildings. She was drawn into that movement, and she not only helped launch the Preservation Resource Center in 1974 but also became the co-editor (with Dana Williams) of Preservation Press, the forerunner of Preservation in Print, when it debuted in 1975. She was named executive director five years later. During her 37-year tenure, Gay not only became an expert on the ins and outs of financing preservation but also worked to show that preservation means more than saving the grand buildings in the French Quarter and Garden District. "In the early days, no one dared imagine what could become of the PRC or the historic preservation movement," Gay said in a Preservation in Print interview. "I'm so proud of all of it. There are many, many people to thank for the progress we've made." | Read full story |

Artist + Saegan Swanson

Originally from the small town of Willits in Northern California, I moved to New Orleans from the Bay Area in 2013. I've always loved to draw and grew up taking art classes--everything from ceramics to modern dance--but it wasn't until my sophomore year in college that I took my first painting course. It was love at first sight and I've been fascinated with the medium ever since. New Orleans has given me the time, inspiration, and community support to paint and I couldn't be more grateful.
