Mission
​
The DAG Foundation champions innovative artists whose work inspires, challenges, and enriches our communities. We do this by supporting artists in literature, music, and visual art as they work to build thriving, sustainable careers.​ At the DAG Foundation, we believe that music, visual art, and literature are the pillars of the U.S. art community. Supporting individual artists in each of these genres contributes to the health and diversity of that community as a whole.
