Support 516 ARTS
Announced on Andy Warhol's birthday, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is proud to announce Philanthropy Factory, a new initiative providing an opportunity for recent grantees—like 516 ARTS—to benefit form the sale of Warhol works from the Foundation's collection.

From now through August 20, a selection of Andy Warhol works are available for immediate purchase, on a first-come first-serve basis for a limited time on the Foundation’s eBay for Charity platform. Proceeds from the sale of designated works will go directly to 516 ARTS, with funds supporting the organization's year-round operations including 3-4 exhibitions annually accompanied by robust public programming, educational workshops and tours, and community partnerships. A purchase of a Warhol work from the Foundation would not only expand one's collection, it would also champion 516 ARTS—a Downtown Albuquerque hub of contemporary art deeply rooted in the New Mexico arts community.
“The Warhol Foundation is proud to celebrate its founder’s philanthropic vision and forward-thinking spirit with this creative, mission-focused initiative that has the potential to meaningfully support artist-centered organizations like 516 ARTS,” said Michael Dayton Hermann of The Andy Warhol Foundation. “Philanthropy Factory recognizes the power of solidarity and celebrates the exceptional work of the Foundation’s grantees through this fundraising sale of dynamic works from its collection.”
The exciting news of this fundraising opportunity lands on the heels of April Chalay’s appointment as Executive Director following a nation-wide search and interview process. Chalay will continue leading a collaboration with the City of Albuquerque in developing a new, larger downtown facility for the organization, increasing its engagement with the arts and cultural life of the region; continuing to be a space where the arts flourish, ideas take flight, and diverse voices are celebrated.
