SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive
Founded November 2022
It’s my honor to serve as a founding board member and Treasurer for the new SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive.
The SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive (SFAI LF+A) is an independent non-profit formed to support the preservation of the San Francisco Art Institute Archives, coordinate the proper transfer of its contents to a permanent home, and ensure future access.
The mission of the SFAI LF+A is to protect, sustain, and carry into the future the legacy of the San Francisco Art Institute–a legacy of bold, experimental artistic practice and innovative scholarly inquiry. The Foundation preserves and makes accessible to future generations of scholars and artists the SFAI archives, an unparalleled collection of primary source material documenting the history of SFAI and the art of Northern California dating back to 1871.
The vision of SFAI LF+A is to make the archives available to researchers and offer original public programming, publications, organize exhibitions, and continue to build SFAI's reputation as a cultural force in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.
