The Brownstone Foundation
Gilbert Brownstone is a curator, collector and philanthropist who lives in France. He created the Brownstone Foundation in October 1999 to support social and humanitarian projects that promote cultural and educational development. The Foundation manages cultural projects throughout the world with a focus in Latin America.
The Foundation has forged a close relationship with the Cuban Ministry of Culture. In January 2010, the Foundation donated to the Cuban people a collection of 19 and 20th century graphic works, including Pablo Picasso’s “Imaginary Portraits” series.
In Havana, the Foundation has created the NOEMI Room, a project that supports the dance, the plastic arts and biennials. That includes the NOEMI Video Library and Projection Room, which is located within the Havana Dance Center and highlights the best of Cuban and international dance. This resource supports educational projects and dance training centers throughout Cuba.
