The Sam Francis Foundation is dedicated to the transformative power of art as a force for change and highlighting the importance of life and art as they intersect. We join the world in solidarity for cultural equity, social justice and equal rights. There is much work to be done and we are even more committed to creating, supporting, and mentoring opportunities for a wider and expanded creative community.
