Vernon Davis – Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts
The Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts was created to promote art education and art appreciation among youth from disadvantaged backgrounds. It fulfills its mission by providing scholarships to dedicated art students and grants to deserving nonprofit programs who share in the foundation’s ideals.
The Vernon Davis Foundation for the Arts envisions communities where the arts are vital to social development and represent a positive alternative for youth dealing with stress and peer pressure. Through the arts, youth can find new ways to express themselves, to lift their spirits and fulfill their dreams.
The foundation created and supports Gallery 85, a beautiful gallery whose setting presents ongoing thematic exhibitions that encourage interdependence and self-expression. The exhibition programs engage an all-age audience to utilize the Arts as a medium to help further investigation in the fields of science, math, culture and athletics. Artworks by contemporary artists displayed open the dialog for different perspective as well as independent thinking.
Gallery 85 is currently closed, but will be relocated in 2016. Until then, the gallery will be virtual.
