The Wallace Foundation — an inviting office that expresses an ethos

New York, NY
21,000 square feet
2020
Type: Civic / Offices

The Wallace Foundation’s mission is to foster equity and improvements in learning and enrichment for young people, and in the arts for everyone. Their new office offers warmth and welcome to their partners and grantees, and it advances the close and collaborative work that is fundamental to their approach and ethos.

We imagined a series of site-specific art works that would echo the mission of the Foundation. Claudy Jongstra’s pieces evoke a spirit of generosity as they inspire a sense of optimism and wonder. At the same time, like the Foundation, her studio is focused on its broader social impact—the difference they make.
