We are a charitable foundation that supports, commissions, and showcases artists, writers, academics, and playwrights. We’re committed to discovering emerging talent, disseminating new ideas, and to sharing thoughts about art, literature, and philosophy. All of our work is built around our symposium – an annual gathering of artists, philosophers, writers, and academics at which we encourage like-minded individuals to share expertise and knowledge with those from a diverse array of creative and intellectual professions.
Through our five prizes, we evaluate thousands of entries by entrants worldwide and offer financial support through grants, mentoring performances, and exhibitions of the work of talented young artists, writers, academics, and playwrights. We also work with partner artistic and academic institutions to commission new artworks and further the humanities and interdisciplinary study.
