The Conru Art Foundation began with a simple belief: that BEAUTY can unite, TRUTH can build bridges, and LOVE can transform communities.

Founded by @Andrew Conru after a personal journey led him to rediscover connection through art, we're on a mission to help others experience that same power. We don't just fund art - we actively build spaces where people can connect, create, and find meaning together.

WHAT WE DO:
• THE SEATTLE PRIZE: We support emerging artists with year-long fellowships, giving them the freedom to create without financial pressure.
• ARTLOVE SALON: Our zero-commission gallery where artists keep 100% of sales and admission is always free.
• MUSEUMS & COLLECTIONS: We preserve and share historical treasures that spark wonder and conversation.
• EDUCATION PROGRAM: We teach art to those who never had the chance to learn, building confidence and community.

OUR APPROACH:
We believe in rolling up our sleeves and building what our communities need. Every program is designed to bring people together, whether they're creating art, experiencing it, or simply sharing a moment of beauty with a stranger.

Join us in proving that art isn't a luxury - it's essential for strengthening human connection and communities.
