What The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted Ostracized and Banned Art Inc does
Mission
The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art in New York (FAS) researches, discusses, publishes and exhibits artists whose life and work were affected by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. With our work we commemorate their artistic achievements, introduce work that may have been forgotten to a broad audience, and initiate an active dialogue about individuality and artistic integrity in response to conditions of extreme duress and to political tyranny. We facilitate this dialogue with innovative virtual programs for our global audience, and with exhibitions, book publications and public programs for our audiences in the US and Germany. Collaborations with internationally renowned scholars, institutions and organizations ensure the high academic standard of our projects.
As stated on its FY2021 Form 990-EZ.

Scholars of immigrant psychology, linguistics, US immigration history and contemporary immigrant artists provided interdisciplin

Where its funders are
100% of THE FRITZ ASCHER SOCIETY FOR PERSECUTED OSTRACIZED AND BANNED ART INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
