Arts of Life Awarded $200,000 Grant from The Smith-Tieken Foundation

Arts of Life is proud to partner with a remarkable new partner, The Smith-Tieken Foundation, on a shared goal to “ease human suffering.”

With a landmark investment of $200,000, Arts of Life will launch an art archiving and preservation program. We will archive every piece of art made in our program, migrate our archive to an industry-standard system, upgrade our storage and preservation of artwork, and create a 25th-anniversary catalog to celebrate our artists’ work.

 

“Without a doubt, this unprecedented grant from The Smith-Tieken Foundation marks a major milestone in Arts of Life’s history,” said Executive Director Denise Fisher. “A comprehensive archiving system will improve our ability to foster professional relationships between our artists, collectors, and curators. As we approach our 25th anniversary, it means so much to know that our artists’ achievements will be not only digitally archived but preserved in perpetuity. Quite simply, this is a dream come true”

We congratulate our fellow grantees and look forward to putting this grant into action in 2024.
