Mission - Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts

Mission Statement

The Erik Brunetti Foundation for the Arts is a nonprofit public charity dedicated to the preservation, research, and advancement of the artistic and cultural legacy of Erik Brunetti, and to the study of contemporary and postmodern cultural production.

Through its permanent archive and public-benefit programming, the Foundation supports long-term preservation, scholarship, and access to cultural materials. Its activities include archival management, noncommercial education, institutional collaboration, and invitation-based mentorship.

All operations are conducted without private benefit, and all surplus revenue is reinvested into mission-aligned preservation and research. The Foundation operates in full public trust, maintaining compliance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Pennsylvania’s HUP standards for purely public charities.
