The Foundation for Art and Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) operates as a public-private partnership that places American art in U.S. embassies worldwide, supporting the Department of State’s cultural diplomacy objectives. Its work centers on site-specific commissions, original print and photography collections, and preservation projects, all featuring works by American artists that are gifted to represent generosity from notable artists and donors. Target audiences include the diplomatic community and international public, for whom FAPE’s programs aim to foster cross-cultural understanding through visual art within embassy spaces. Based in Washington, DC, the organization has a small staff and has maintained its mission for more than thirty years through its partnerships and ongoing arts and education initiatives.
