Support the CAN Foundation

Located in Newport News, VA, the mission of the CAN Foundation is to build sustainable careers for the creative class. 

We accomplish our mission through:

• Artist Development - The CAN Foundation works closely with artists in the development of their craft and careers. Through residency, mentorship, critiques, education, client development and management, we provide artists with the tools to build a foundation for sustainable art careers.

• Arts Education - We seek to advance multidisciplinary arts education through our integrative learning programs covering art history, art business, art making, collection building, and more.

• Public Art Projects - The Foundation works with municipalities, corporations, and community groups to bring public art projects and immersive arts events to under-served and developing areas.
