Founded in 2008 by collectors Kathryn and Dan Mikesell, Fountainhead elevates the voices, visibility and value of artists in our society and makes their work accessible to a global community. Its mission is to inspire new ways of thinking by looking beyond works of art and into the human experiences and stories that unite us all. Harnessing the power in our diversity, Fountainhead is building a family of artists and appreciators, one personal connection at a time.
