The Joan Mitchell Foundation was
established in 1993 to fulfill the ambitions of Joan Mitchell to aid and
assist the needs of painters and sculptors. The Foundation seeks to
demonstrate that painting and sculpture are significant cultural
necessities. To further this mandate, the Foundation annually awards grants
to painters and sculptors, supports outside programming such as workshops
and residencies serving individual artists, and provides free art education
opportunities for New York City Youth.
By encouraging the ambitions of developing artists, the Foundation
celebrates the unique legacy of Joan Mitchell as an American artist and
seeks to emphasize and draw attention to the important contributions of
artists working today.
