The Foundation for Arts Initiatives is an independent foundation supporting exceptional arts initiatives around the world.
Its primary goals are to:
— encourage original and experimental thinking in the visual arts;
— support new ventures in the contemporary arts that may be at an especially critical point in their development;
— help organizations involved with emerging or under-recognized artists, particularly those run by artists themselves or in areas where there is a lack of institutional resources for contemporary artists.
Through its various activities, FfAI aims to offer a new model for what progressive grant-making in the 21st century could be.
