About The Foundation

Foundation

The Alex Brown Residency at Mainframe Studios is entirely supported by charitable donations, initially established with funds from Alex’s estate through a fund administered by the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, along with in-kind support from Mainframe Studios.

The Alex Brown Foundation and Residency program was established in 2020 with the aim of providing emerging and established artists of exceptional merit with an opportunity to focus entirely on their work for an extended period of time, in a comfortable environment, and in a city consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in the U.S.

The Alex Brown Foundation aims to make the project self-supporting in perpetuity and is currently accepting donations. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today!
