Our Purpose
The Bernat Klein Foundation was launched in 2018 to develop and manage the legacy of Bernat Klein.
Through its work in education, research, publication and exhibition, the foundation creates new opportunities. These include educational awards, commissioning new creative content such as short films, and the co-curation of exhibitions, which showcase contemporary practice inspired and influenced by Bernat Klein. The foundation also encourages public engagement through events, workshops and talks, and its partnerships enable contributions to creative and cultural communities across Scotland.
