The Joan Mitchell Foundation is a New York City-based nonprofit in the philanthropic fundraising sector that expands awareness of abstract artist Joan Mitchell and supports opportunities for visual artists. Its work aims to highlight artists' essential contributions to society and to carry forward Mitchell's legacy through artistic programs. A central activity is the Artist-in-Residence program at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, which provides a dedicated space for artists to develop new work. In 2022 the foundation announced 24 participants in that residency, illustrating the program's scale. In 2024 the foundation appointed Sarah Roberts as its inaugural senior director of curatorial affairs, signaling a focus on curatorial leadership and program development.
