The Pacific Art Foundation supports and encourages California artists, showcasing a permanent collection of American art from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

PAF’s mission is to support and encourage artists and assemble, through gift or acquisition, a collection of paintings and other artwork by primarily California artists. PAF presents informative and educational programs by collectors, gallery owners, and artists and, through fundraisers, provides financial support to art students through an annual scholarship program.
