The Arp Foundation is primarily a cultural heritage and arts foundation focused on protecting, studying, and disseminating the work of Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. Based on its mission, it appears to support preservation, scholarly research, exhibitions, publications, and educational efforts related to modern art and design in France and internationally. This is a collection-centered foundation rather than a broad philanthropic grantmaker, so its support is likely highly targeted to museums, researchers, and cultural institutions working on Arp/Taeuber-Arp.
Likely makes targeted, mission-aligned support for exhibitions, conservation, research, and publication projects related to Jean Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp; support is probably selective and partnership-based rather than open, general grantmaking.
Expect a selective, invitation-based or relationship-driven process rather than a broad open call. Nonprofits should approach with a clearly defined project tied to Arp/Taeuber-Arp scholarship, conservation, or public presentation, and be ready to show curatorial expertise, institutional credibility, and international relevance.
