The Broad Art Foundation is a lending library of the over 2,000 works of contemporary art in the Broad collections. TBAF’s mission is to increase public access to contemporary art through an enterprising art loan program based upon its growing art collection as well as the private art collection of the Broads, including lending art for exhibition at The Broad. The Broad (www.thebroad.org) is a contemporary art museum in downtown Los Angeles. The Broad’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to the widest possible audience. The Broad exhibits the postwar and contemporary art collections acquired by Los Angeles philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad and TBAF.
