Programs & Activities
Program 1
$1.1MThe maurice sendak foundation promotes the artistic legacy of maurice sendak by ensuring his books are in print and readily available in ideal editions, by preserving his home and studio and by exhibiting his original art. We nurture illustrators and writers in the field of children's literature, especially supporting excellence in the art of the picture book. During 2023, the foundation furthered this goal through its continued support of a retrospective exhibition of maurice sendak's art called "wild things are happening: the art of maurice sendak" that is now scheduled for spring/summer of 2024 at the skirball cultural center in los angeles, ca and then in october 2024 at the denver museum of art in denver, co. The foundation also continued the sendak fellowship, the yearly residency program that encourages, teaches and supports artists who tell stories with illustration.
Program 2
Continuation from above...the sendak house and archive houses the complete collection of sendak's books and art and sendak's collection of works by other artists. It also contains illustrations, manuscripts, books and related materials that represent a wide range of sendak's visual creative output. The foundation continues its efforts to inventory all of the art, objects and books in sendak house and archive. The sendak house and archive is a resource and research center for curators, scholars and artists.
