SPONSORS
We would like to recognize the generosity of our sponsors and corporate donors who support FAPE’s mission of cultural diplomacy through art.
Darren Walker, FAPE Vice President, with Anne Finucane, former Global Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer of Bank of America
Bank of America has been the official sponsor of FAPE since 2011. We are tremendously grateful for its ongoing support of our organization.
The Bank’s program of arts support reflects its beliefs that the ARTS MATTER. They help economies thrive, help individuals connect with each other and across cultures, and educate and enrich societies. Commitment to the arts is a key element of Bank of America’s environmental, social and governance program, part of a comprehensive approach to responsible growth.
On Monday, April 20, 2015, FAPE honored Bank of America with its inaugural Partner in the Arts Award in recognition of the bank’s deep dedication to FAPE and to the arts globally. Darren Walker, President of the Ford Foundation and FAPE Vice President, made the official presentation to Anne Finucane, Global Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, on behalf of Bank of America.
Bank of America’s ongoing annual contributions are integral to FAPE’s Original Print, Photography and Site-Specific Collections, and projects it has helped fund span the globe. FAPE is indebted to Bank of America for its continued support!
Gemini G.E.L.LLC has been extremely supportive of FAPE, contributing the publishing of 10 print editions to our Original Print Collection. Founded in 1966, Gemini is an artists’ workshop and publisher of limited edition prints and sculptures. At Gemini, the artists do all of the drawing or carving directly onto the printing elements. The edition is hand-printed by Gemini’s master printers, and each print is signed and numbered by the artist as well as embossed with the Gemini ‘chop.’ Gemini has collaborated with more than 60 highly accomplished artists in lithography, etching, screen printing, woodcut and a variety of sculptural materials.
Since 2014, Christie’s has been a great supporter of FAPE. They have been the sponsor of our exhibition at Guild Hall as well as the FAPE Circle and our dinner at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations. Christie’s generously provided an appraisal of FAPE’s Collection pro-bono in 2017.
Since 2014, BNY Mellon Wealth Management has been a Supporting Sponsor of FAPE. Their gift ensures the success of our Annual Events, which honors the artists who make our program possible.
FAPE is grateful to the National Gallery of Art and its staff for their years of support. By partnering with the National Gallery, we have been able to introduce our artists and program to a new audience through our Sharon Percy Rockefeller Panel Presentation.
