"I am of the firm belief that an artist does not need to address political issues in their work in order to be an artist committed to equity in their daily lives."

THE BRUCE BEASLEY FOUNDATION
Harnessing the Capacity of Art to Enliven, Inspire and
Unify Diverse Publics.
The Bruce Beasley Foundation is a Bay Area nonprofit whose mission includes the study and advancement of the sculptural arts, past and present. Founded in 2017, we are a nonprofit dedicated to making the sculptural arts accessible in higher education by sponsoring arts education and arts programming related to sculpture and three dimensional works. While large institutions and well-endowed colleges have ready access to expanded activities in the arts, the budgets for fine art in smaller institutions have been shrinking. The Bruce Beasley Foundation hopes to fill these gaps by providing support in the form of exhibitions, artist talks and colloquia on a variety of subjects related to the state of art and art programming.
