Fundación Kahlo

Fundación Kahlo, a newly formed nonprofit organization based in New York City, was conceived and established by the Kahlo family to preserve Frida’s legacy and promote Mexican, Indigenous, and Latin American art and culture on a global scale. The Foundation will play a pivotal role in the development, opening, and ongoing stewardship of the museum, as well as launching a slate of public-facing initiatives that reflect Frida’s artistic legacy and humanitarian values.

In addition to completing the museum, Fundación Kahlo will spearhead a range of cultural initiatives, including:

-         The Kahlo Art Prize, a biennial award recognizing visionary contemporary artists

-         Las Ayudas, a grantmaking program inspired by the Kahlo family’s lifelong support of community, indigenous creatives, educators, and social changemakers
