Welcome to the U.S. Golf Art Foundation (USAGAF). We are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York City. Our mission is to explore, promote, and celebrate the profound relationship between golf and art. We believe golf is not merely a sport; it is an intricate form of artistry—one that harmonizes nature, creativity, and precision. Conversely, art has the unique ability to elevate the experience of golf, capturing its beauty, history, and enduring cultural significance.
From the very beginning, we have been dedicated to fostering creativity and supporting artists—both emerging and established—who are inspired by the world of golf. Our primary goal is to create a space where artistic expression and the culture of golf intersect. We aim to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the sport’s aesthetic and thematic elements by promoting visual works that reflect its landscapes, traditions, and rich heritage. Through our initiatives, we also seek to encourage innovation and collaboration within both artistic and golfing communities.
Over the years, our foundation has grown into a dynamic community, expanding beyond exhibitions to include educational programs and public outreach. By curating art exhibitions and hosting juried competitions, we provide a platform for artists to share their unique interpretations of golf, while also offering them the opportunity for public recognition and meaningful engagement with broader audiences. These events are designed not only to celebrate artistic talent but also to spark dialogue and inspire new perspectives on the sport.
In addition to exhibitions, we host workshops, artist residencies, and educational seminars that delve into the intersection of golf and art. These programs are crafted to inspire participants, encourage artistic exploration, and nurture a deeper connection between these seemingly distinct disciplines. By collaborating with galleries, golf courses, and cultural institutions, we seek to bring golf-inspired art to new audiences and create immersive experiences that transcend traditional boundaries.
Our foundation is guided by a passionate team of art curators, golf professionals, and educators, all of whom share a commitment to nurturing creativity and building bridges between art and sport. We work closely with renowned artists, museums, and institutions to curate thought-provoking exhibitions, publish research, and support new artistic projects that celebrate the cultural richness of golf.
Ultimately, the U.S. Golf Art Foundation exists to explore and celebrate the shared aesthetics and values of golf and art. We invite you to join us on this journey, whether as an artist, golfer, or supporter, and to discover the beauty that lies at this extraordinary intersection of creativity and sport.
