The Fondazione per le Arti Contemporanee in Toscana has been active since 2016 in the production, conservation and promotion of the arts, architecture and contemporary cultures. It was instituted on 20 July 2015 by the Comune of Prato and the Associazione Culturale Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci Prato, which are its founding promoters, and is supported by the Regione Toscana.
The Foundation manages the Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, promoting and expanding the permanent collection, scheduling the exhibitions and research projects, organising events and multidisciplinary cultural activities, collaborating with public and private bodies operating in the regional territory, coordinating and promoting contemporary artistic production in Tuscany and, through the activities of the CID/arti visive, storing information and documents relative to all aspects of contemporary artistic expressions.
