WE ARE OUR STORIES

“Stories and art bring people together and are a catalyst for personal discoveries. They help us understand each other, offer a glimpse into different experiences and ways of life, and provide a mirror of who we are.”

— Brady Schwind, Executive Director, The Arts of Imagination Foundation

 

About The Arts of Imagination Foundation

Preserving stories. Inspiring imagination. Illuminating culture.

At The Arts of Imagination Foundation, we believe that stories and the visual art they inspire are among humanity’s most powerful tools for understanding ourselves and one another.

Our Mission

We preserve and celebrate  enduring stories and the art shaped by them, exploring how creative expression influences culture, belief, and identity across generations.

Through a unique and growing collection of historically significant and newly commissioned works, we invite people of all ages to engage with story and art in transformative ways. Whether through exhibitions, educational initiatives, or community partnerships, we create opportunities for personal reflection and shared discovery.

By bringing these works into unexpected environments and sparking fresh conversations, we help keep the imagination alive—honoring the past while inspiring the future.

Our Vision
A world where the enduring power of story and art connects people across time, culture, and experience.

Who We Serve
Artists, educators, storytellers, students, and everyone who seek to understand the world—and themselves—through the lens of imagination.
