Mission
The James E. Brewton Foundation, Inc., locates and preserves artworks by Brewton (1930-1967). A Pennsylvania-based nonprofit organization founded in 2008, we collaborate with cultural institutions and serve as a resource for the advanced study of mid-century avant-garde art. Finding and stabilizing the artwork was our primary focus during the first decade of operation. When the search began, we knew of fourteen artworks. Today, we have located more than 175 works, which are coming to light in Denmark, as well as the U.S., U.K., and Canada. In collaboration with educational and cultural institutions, we enhance public awareness, study and understanding of avant-garde arts movements.

Research collaboration and exhibitions
Recently, Brewton's work was included in the exhibition "Invisible City: Philadelphia and the Vernacular avant-garde," 21 Jan.-4 April, 2020, University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
We assisted with research and provided images for a chapter about Brewton in academic publication, Price, Katie L., and Michael R. Taylor, eds. "'Pataphysics Unrolled," University Park: Penn State University Press, April 2022.
In 2014, we collaborated with the scholars who organized a three-day conference and events called 'Philadelphia a la Pataphysique' at the University of Pennsylvania. One of the events was Brewton's first solo show in 43 years.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
