Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies

The Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies is a public-private partnership based in Washington, District of Columbia. This organization employs 5 to 9 people. FAPE works with American artists to provide permanent works of art for U.S. embassies around the world. Their mission is to support the U.S. Department of State's cultural diplomacy efforts by encouraging cross-cultural understanding through art. They achieve this through a variety of initiatives, including commissioning site-specific artwork, creating collections of original prints and photography, and undertaking preservation projects. FAPE's unique approach involves gifting artworks by American artists to embassies, fostering generosity among artists and donors. These artworks serve as a bridge between cultures, enriching the diplomatic community and the global public.
