Foundation For Art And Preservation In Embassies (Fape)

The Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies is a public-private partnership dedicated to providing permanent works of American art for U.S. embassies worldwide. For over thirty years, FAPE has contributed to the U.S. Department of State’s mission of cultural diplomacy by partnering with American artists whose works encourage cross-cultural understanding within the diplomatic community and the international public. FAPE fulfills its mission through Site-Specific commissions, Original Print and Photography Collections, preservation projects, and other arts and education initiatives. All artworks commissioned or placed by FAPE are by American artists and are gifts, representing generosity among some of the United States’ greatest artists and donors. #FAPE
