The Robert Lehman Foundation

The Robert Lehman Foundation provides grants to museums, arts organizations, educational institutions, and other nonprofit cultural organizations with the goal of enhancing the role of the visual arts within American and world culture.

Within these broad parameters, the Foundation is open to a wide range of projects, including museum exhibitions, scholarly publications, art history lectureships, and art education programs. The art education programs the Foundation supports share the goal of providing art education to underserved communities that have insufficient access to any type of arts learning.

Note: The Foundation also provides support through the Edwin L. Weisl, Jr. Lectureships in Art History, which provide colleges with the opportunity to enrich their art history curricula by inviting noted art historians or artists to lecture on a topic related to at least one course offered in that particular semester.
