The Patricia Arscott La Farge Foundation for Folk Art was founded in 2007 by Patricia La Farge and her daughter Sarah Heartt. Originally stemming from the need to find a purpose for the extensive inventory accumulated over fifty years, including items from various countries like Mexico, Guatemala, and Peru, the foundation evolved into a 501(c)(3) private operating foundation.
With a focus on preserving Latin American folk-art traditions, the foundation serves as a platform for philanthropic support, research, and educational initiatives. It aims to provide resources such as a folk-art library, educational videos, and programming opportunities for individuals interested in engaging with or creating art inspired by Latin American folk traditions.
The foundation's vision is to support Latin American artisans in preserving their cultural heritage and sharing it with a wider audience. Through a blend of research, education, and community engagement, the foundation seeks to ensure the continuation of these rich artistic traditions for future generations.
