In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, the Svane Family Foundation invested $1M in 100 Bay Area artists. Ark, a historic collection of 100 new works curated for auction, is a direct expression of how Bay Area artists have endured the pandemic while envisioning what to carry forward into the future. 100% of auction bids were donated to ArtSpan, a local nonprofit cultivating a vibrant, accessible, world-class art community in San Francisco. You can read more about this program in Juxtapoz and Hyperallergic.
Ark raised $330,100
