The John and Susan Horseman Foundation for American Art is committed to advancing interest in and appreciation of the art of the United States. Since its inception in 2012, the Foundation has championed artists working outside the narrow parameters of the art historical canon due to their race, gender, or geographic locale. Through its Art Answers initiative, the Foundation facilitates access to, lends, and donates works of art; organizes and sponsors exhibitions and programming; and provides financial support for artists and scholars seeking to expand the dialogue of 20th and 21st century American art.
