the foundation

We are a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization focused exclusively on enabling access to, and understanding of, information about visual artworks for the benefit of the general public.

 

What We Do:

We collect information about visual artworks and visual artists and make that information more readily available to the general public for educational, literary, research, and scientific purposes; for preservation of cultural heritage; and to enhance public knowledge and understanding of visual artists, visual artworks, and visual art in general.

We encourage cooperation and collaboration by and between all communities engaged in creating, distributing, using and preserving visual artworks, and facilitate interoperable visual arts registries and other data systems to ensure that information about visual artworks and artists can be more easily communicated and shared for broader public access.

We facilitate the advancement of education about the visual arts through making visual arts information more readily available to educational institutions, educators and students.

We facilitate communication about preservation and understanding of visual arts rights information in order to permit museums, libraries, and educational institutions to broaden public access to, and understanding of, visual artworks and to ensure that the public has sufficient access to (and understanding of) information necessary to enable them to make informed decisions about using visual artworks.

 

Who We Are

The Foundation is governed and operated by a global coalition of non-profit organizations representing diverse communities engaged in creating, distributing, using and preserving visual artworks.
