Mission Statement

The Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts is a nonprofit public charity dedicated to the preservation, archiving, and advancement of the artistic and intellectual work of Erik Brunetti.

The Foundation provides an organized institutional context in which this work can be studied, exhibited, and understood within contemporary art, visual culture, and legal-historical discourse. To that end, the Foundation undertakes the following activities:

• to maintain a permanent archive of Brunetti’s creative output, including artworks, writings, design materials, and correspondence, supported by professional standards of cataloguing and collections care;

• to facilitate research, exhibitions, and publications that situate Brunetti’s work within broader cultural, aesthetic, and legal‑historical frameworks;

• to support institutional partnerships and loans that place the work in public and private collections where it can be engaged critically over time;

• to develop public programs and resources that support access to primary materials and foster informed interpretation of the work’s historical and contemporary significance.

All operations are conducted without private inurement; surplus revenue is applied to preservation, documentation, and mission‑related initiatives that reinforce the Foundation’s role as a long‑term steward of the work and its record.
