Mission.

Art Production Fund is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to commissioning and producing ambitious public art projects, reaching new audiences, and expanding awareness through contemporary art.

Art Production Fund (APF) acts as a producer, providing guidance, resources, and support to artists for complex projects. Founded in 2000 by Doreen Remen and Yvonne Force Villareal, APF produces bold commissions and site-specific projects nationwide. It operates on a modest scale, responding quickly to opportunities and commissioning risk-taking projects in public art. Through strategic partnerships, APF expands its capacity and challenges artists to push beyond their usual practice, collaborating with private and non-profit institutions to enhance the realization of elaborate public art projects.
