Donate to the Ken Found Art Fund
Ken Found exhibited a robust commitment to championing local artists, demonstrated through his acquisitions from the Kawartha Art Gallery, the only public art gallery in the City of Kawartha Lakes. As a testament to this commitment, not only was Ken Found's art collection generously donated to the Kawartha Art Gallery, but also the creation of the Ken Found Art Fund held with the Community Foundation of Kawartha Lakes.
This fund is dedicated to assist in acquiring artworks by local artists and hosting events to enhance the visibility of Kawartha Art Gallery.
