Preserving Canadian Art
Visual art is at a critical stage in history. Digital art is eclipsing hand-made art. Knowledge of traditional techniques and materials is disappearing. There is an urgency to preserve our art heritage.
Kristin Krimmel
Our Mission
Our goal is to ensure that legacies of lesser-known Canadian artists are archived properly for posterity, seen, studied, appreciated, and collected.
We are a foundation dedicated to receiving artwork, financial donations and other assets (including artists’ journals, ephemera, and other material that comprises a visual and/or intellectual “portrait” of any particular artist).
We manage operating funds and the inventory which is the art collection.
We actively preserve, care for and promote artwork.
“Art is not just room, space and wall decoration. Art is heritage in the making. In turn, heritage is a collection of periods of the past, like a mirror into which we can look to compare and to learn where we are and where we can go.
In building heritage, there is no end to the exploration of creativity. Heritage is the past , present and future of a civilized society.”
— Hans Christian Behm, 2024
