FOR-SITE FOUNDATION

Mission Statement

The mission of the FOR-SITE FOUNDATION is to facilitate the creation, understanding and exhibition of new art about place. The FOR-SITE FOUNDATION fulfills its mission through three key program initiatives: Artist Residencies FOR-SITE awards artist residencies and stipends to selected artists whose work conforms to the organization's mission. The residency is designed to provide the artist with the space, time and resources to create new art, and to ensure that via a timely and cost-effective process, this work at the end of the residency is exhibited at a museum. Dissemination To further our understanding of new art about place, FOR-SITE undertakes initiatives that document and expose to the widest public audience the creative process and artworks that are made possible by FOR-SITE and the sponsoring public institution. Education FOR-SITE collaborates with participating educational institutions to provide opportunities for students to experience both the practical and theoretical challenges of creating art for and of a specific place.
