Mission
ARTWORK - THE ARTWORKS IN THE FOUNDATION'S COLLECTION ARE HELD IN TRUST FOR THE PUBLIC AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC DISPLAY, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. TO ADVANCE THIS MISSION, THE FOUNDATION PLACES ITS ARTWORK ON ROTATING LOANS TO VARIOUS MUSEUMS BOTH IN AND OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES AND ENCOURAGES THE MUSEUMS TO INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AROUND THE LOANED WORKS, SUCH AS CURATORIAL LECTURES, PUBLIC PROGRAMS, AND SYMPOSIA. WHEN NOT ON LOAN, THE WORKS ARE STORED AT A SPECIALIZED ART FACILITY THAT PRESERVES THE ART FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS AND ALLOWS STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS TO CONDUCT RESEARCH.
