The Aardt Foundation is a nonprofit foundation operating out of a former industrial warehouse in Birmingham, Alabama, which now houses its art collection. The Foundation’s mission is to foster a vibrant cultural life, including through the use of its collection and resources for educational and research purposes.
The Foundation’s collection encompasses works dating from the early Renaissance to the present, reflecting a wide spectrum of distinct cultures and forms of expression, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, book-making, decorative arts, and new media.
The Aardt Foundation advances its mission through a range of scholarly and public-facing initiatives, including tours, educational panels, public engagements, loans of artworks, web-based interaction, and the publication of critical and interpretive materials.
