NEW YORK, NY
.- The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation launched the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative, an unprecedented $5-million, multi-year commitment to support and accelerate energy efficiency and clean energy use at visual arts museums and organizations. Developed in association with the Rocky Mountain Institute , a leading expert and advocate of clean energy, and Sustainable Museums , the Frankenthaler Climate Initiative is the first nation-wide program of its kind for the visual arts and the largest private national grant-making program to address climate change through cultural institutions. The initial cycle of grants will provide critical support to visual art museums in the United States seeking to assess their impact on the environment and to lower ongoing energy costs.
