The Anthony Quinn Foundation
Our mission is to advocate for the important role arts education plays in personal development and in the overall improvement of social, economic and cultural systems.
Central to the pursuit of the Foundation’s mission is the life story of Anthony Quinn. His artistic legacy inspires young adults; learning about the challenges of his youth and the ways in which he overcame them helps inspire confidence in their own creative potential. Toward these ends, the Anthony Quinn Foundation:
- Provides scholarship support to gifted young adults seeking to further their talents in the areas of Visual Arts & Design as well as the Performing, Media and Literary Arts.
- Sponsors Exhibitions and Creative Retreats.
- Provides access to the creative world of Anthony Quinn, including his private art collections.
“The highest compliment ever paid to me as an artist was when a blind woman came to one of my exhibitions. After spending five minutes caressing a sculpture called Found Beauty, she commented ‘Mr. Quinn, you truly understand the human soul.’ I remember her comment every time I create a new sculpture.”
