About the Foundation
Fonds “ARNE Foundation” is a foundation active in culture, creative heritage and intellectual property, rooted in Latvia and the Baltic region and open to cooperation across Europe and internationally.
The Foundation is built as a long-term institution capable of taking responsibility for the preservation, research and accessibility of cultural heritage at a scale beyond what a single person or family could sustain alone.
Ilze Arne's professional legacy is the Foundation's first major archive and research initiative, but not its only purpose — the structure is designed so that other archives, individuals and collections can join it over time.
The Foundation's public activity rests on verifiable sources: every statement in the archive is tied to a documented source rather than presented as a general description.
