The Harry Bertoia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and educating the public about the life and work of artist Harry Bertoia, an innovative metalworker and modern artist known for jewelry, sculptures, furniture, and sonambient sound sculptures. The non-profit company is based in St. George, UT. The foundation manages an extensive online catalogue documenting Bertoia’s works, operates a gallery, offers original art and merchandise, and engages with the community through collaborations, scholarships, internships, and local art projects. It organizes educational programs, public displays, presentations, podcasts, events, and supports research by maintaining archives and developing virtual concert software. The foundation invites owners of Bertoia’s works to contribute data and seeks a new museum home for sonambient sculptures. Its website provides resources on Bertoia’s biography, artworks, design philosophy, public works, technical insights, and links to museums, auction houses, books, films, news, and donation opportunities. The company was founded in 2013 by Celia Bertoia.
