Maurice Sendak Foundation Inc

The Maurice Sendak foundation promotes the artistic legacy of Maurice Sendak by ensuring his books are in print and readily available in ideal editions, by preserving his home and studio and by exhibiting his original art. We nurture illustrators and writers in the field of children's literature, especially supporting excellence in the art of the picture book. During 2024, the foundation furthered this goal through its continued support of a retrospective exhibition of Maurice Sendak's art called "wild things are happening: the art of Maurice Sendak" during spring/summer of 2024 at the skirball cultural center in Los Angeles, ca. The exhibition was then expanded by another 200 pieces of art and ran from october 2024 through february 2025 at the Denver museum of art in Denver, CO. The foundation also continued the Sendak fellowship, the yearly residency program that encourages, teaches and supports artists who tell stories with illustration.
