The bodies that govern and manage Fundació Privada Antoni Vila Casas, including the Board of Trustees of the institution – as the highest level of governance and representation of the Foundation –, as well as the functions assigned to each one of them, are regulated in Chapter IV of the Statutes.
The Foundation has a General Director, whose main function is to develop the executive management of the institution.
The Foundation’s aims are laid out in Article 5 of the Statutes:
“The Foundation aims to promote and develop in Catalonia, its main territorial scope, the promotion and support for all types of cultural, artistic and scientific activities, in addition to medical, pharmacological, chemical and biological research, and the award of prizes, distinctions, scholarships, grants and subsidies for any kind of studies, exhibitions, experiences, performances, interventions and dissemination, within all the aforementioned fields of activity.
The objectives and purposes of the Foundation originate from the Founding President’s initiative undertaken under the belief that culture, tradition and language are the hallmarks of identity of a Country, and ours is Catalonia. The promotion and dissemination are carried out on the basis of two perspectives: artistic, through its art collections which include a collection of contemporary Catalan art within the historical period from 1945 to 2030, promoting and raising awareness of artists from our Country in our venues which should be consolidated as references points in three unique and exclusive artistic disciplines (painting, sculpture and photography), without the possibility of broadening them in order to avoid dispersion, with the award of prizes and the holding our own exhibitions; and health, encouraging calm, reasoned and objective opinion on health-related topics, by organizing meetings, studies, colloquia, conferences, publications, collaborations, aid, donations and contributions to hospitals and clinics.
The Foundation’s objectives must be achieved through the organizational structure, adequate and advance planning and the budgetary constraints applicable at the time, adhering to the criteria stipulated in these Statutes, striving for attention to detail and continuously improving the quality and pursuance of excellence in all activities carried out by the Foundation.”
“The mission of the Foundation will be developed in two areas. In the cultural field, it will focus on promoting and making culture and art accessible to the public, through the different venues and museums, which host cultural projects and artistic collections and contribute to the promotion of Catalan artists by exhibiting their works, organizing cultural events and awarding grants, scholarships, prizes or similar support. In the health field, the Foundation will promote and support scientific research and dialogue between healthcare professionals, the media and society.”
The activities carried out by the Foundation are outlined in Article 6 of the Statutes:
“To achieve its founding objectives, the Foundation will develop the activities that the Board of Trustees deem necessary, directly and/or in collaboration with other entities, institutions or persons, in accordance with the regulations governing foundations. Specifically, with the aim of fulfilling its founding objectives, the Foundation will develop the activities which feature in the, by no means exhaustive, list: permanent exhibitions of painting, sculpture and photography by artists represented in the entity’s permanent collection; temporary exhibitions to promote emerging and established artists; exhibitions to disseminate work by art collectors; collaborations with public and private institutions to carry out travelling exhibitions; awarding painting, sculpture and photography prizes; awarding scholarships; research on health-related issues in the media; meetings and colloquia between the socio-health sector and the media, etc.
Activities related to the founding objectives must be carried out in accordance with the specific regulations governing them and, where applicable, by obtaining the corresponding permits or licences.”
The annual report of Fundació Privada Antoni Vila Casas outlines the main activities and projects carried out during the year – exhibitions, conferences, educational service, diverse activities, prizes, projects and colloquia in the health field, incorporation of works of art in the collections, and publications, among others –, thereby offering an overall vision of the Foundation’s work.
The document reflects the way the Foundation supports artists, makes contemporary art accessible to society, promotes activities and projects in the health field and creates spaces for reflection and dialogue. In this section you can read all the annual reports published to date.
