Tom Of Finland Foundation Inc

ARCHIVE, PERMANENT COLLECTIONS AND LIBRARY, EXHIBITIONS:A repository of over a century of LGBTQ+ artmaking and culture, the Foundation stewards rich historical and contemporary collections of more than 11,000 unique artworks created by more than 700+ queer artists many of whose legacies are preserved nowhere else and include archival materials and a reference library. Highlights include creative practices cut short by the AIDS crisis and are open by appointment to students, scholars, researchers, artists.

ARTIST EDUCATION:Selected through a critical vetting process, visiting artists reside at TOM House for 3 months and benefit from the opportunity to engage with the Foundations collection and present their final project as a public program. Nine artists participated in 2023 representing the UK, US, Thailand, China, Poland. Another artist education program is our monthly Life Drawing Sessions.
