DOP Foundation

The D.O.P. Foundation is a non-profit institution with spaces and documentary archives headquartered in Paris (France), Madrid (Spain), Miami (U.S.A.) and Caracas (Venezuela) that operates as an educational and lending resource of modern and contemporary art. The Foundation is dedicated to building a collection that reflects the scope and diversity of the art of our time.

This Foundation assists museums striving to present modern and contemporary art in a complex economic and cultural environment. While private collectors usually limit the accessibility of contemporary artists' work, the Foundation makes the collection's works available for loan to museums and university galleries through its "lending library" program. Since its inception in 1999, artworks from the D.O.P. Collection (Colección D.O.P.) have appeared in exhibitions at nearly 50 museums, universities, web sites and other public venues, and have been viewed by approximately one million persons per year.

The Foundation facilitates its lending programs by providing professionals and scholars in the art community opportunities to view, study, and consider the collection´s artworks for exhibitions worldwide.

The main educational initiatives of the D.O.P. Foundation are: The D.O.P. Collection, the Lending Library Programme and its ArteDOP/ArtDOP Educational Initiative, all aimed to achieve the excellence in education by a display of exhibitions, a grant & scholarship programs and other activities that allows a direct access of people interested in understanding the importance and enjoy the multiple alternatives that art brings as a fundamental factor for our intellectual, social and emotive development; and these are directed to anyone, from individual beings up to a whole community.

The exhibitions change often.
