The World Art Foundation is an organization of professional artists
that deals with the characteristics of art, its nucleus being the strength of all its combined
elements and principles. Most of the artists in this publication are WAF members.
In October 31st 2008, My father and I created
the World Art Foundation (WAF) in Orange County California and
in January 31 2009, we launched WAF’s website to the public with the announcement of the WAF Expo 09 California scheduled for June 7-14, 2009. Within 40 days
over 3,000 artists from all over the world joined the WAF sites
On April 10th 2009 WAF’s 5,100 square feet Gallery opened in 1555 E Imperial Hwy in the city of Brea. (see
www.worldartfoundation.org/Gallery) The World Expo 09 was held as scheduled in June 7-14 2009
in Brea, Fullerton and Laguna Beach California, with the participation
of over 400 artists from 53 countries in 5 continents.
World Expo 09 became the largest expo of this genre ever held in
California. See www.worldartfoundation.org/Testimonial
The Mayor of Fullerton issued a proclamation in the name of
the city council and the citizens of Fullerton welcoming World
Art Foundation to Fullerton. See copy of the proclamation on
www.worldartfoundation.org/Expo_09
A fund raiser was held in June 6th at the Miranda Gallery in
Laguna Beach to benefit the World Art Foundation advertising
fund.
World Art Foundation sponsored all but one of the over
400 participating artists by waving the $500 for each for
the artists’ exhibiting fee. Never such generosity was ever
extended by a private foundation or a any country’s cultural
ministry for a single event. Actually besides the shipping
expense, the 400 artists did not pay to exhibit at the World
Art Expo 09 in California.
During the expo WAF held educational functions at the
Fullerton Museum and the Marriott hotel at the Fullerton
University campus and the WAF Gallery in Brea.
World Art Foundation, presently with over 50,000
members in their cyber groups, is considered the world’s
largest art organization. WAF continues to grow with over
100 artists joining its ranks each week. In 2010 Expos are
scheduled in 12 countries as well as many key art cities in
the US including New York, Chicago. Los Angeles, Phoenix,
Santa Fe and Orange County.
The All America Tour 2009 is introducing 30 accomplished
WAF artists to curators in Ten American Cities.
More tours for America and Europe are in the works for
2010.
The WAF Museum Collection is scheduled to travel in
2010 to many expos in 3 continents. See a portion of the
Collection on www.worldartfoundation.org/Museum .
