The SFAI Legacy Foundation + Archive (SFAI LF+A) is an independent non-profit formed to protect, sustain, and carry forward the legacy of the San Francisco Art Institute—a legacy of bold, experimental artistic practice and innovative scholarly inquiry. The Foundation preserves and makes accessible to scholars and artists the SFAI archives, an unparalleled collection of primary source material documenting the history of SFAI and the art of Northern California dating back to 1871. Through its public programs, publications, and exhibitions, the SFAI LF+A highlights the stories of SFAI artists, with particular attention to underrecognized figures and communities, whose contributions have shaped the school’s history and the broader cultural landscape of the Bay Area.
