Mission

OUR MISSION IS TO FOSTER THE EDUCATION AND ADVANCEMENT OF DESIGN, ART, AND ARCHITECTURE. UNDER THE INSTITUTE UMBRELLA WE OPERATE TWO PROGRAMS TO SERVE OUR MISSION: THE WARNECKE ARCHITECTURAL ARCHIVES AND THE CHALK HILL ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM. THE WARNECKE ARCHITECTURAL ARCHIVES MAINTAINS THE COMPLETE ARCHIVES OF CARL I. WARNECKE AND JOHN CARL WARNECKE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING RESEARCHERS AND STUDENTS, PUBLIC AGENCIES AND OTHER NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS. THE CHALK HILL ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAM PROVIDES ARTISTS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS, ABILITIES, AND MEDIUMS, WITH TIME AND SPACE FOR REFLECTIVE WORK IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND TO PRESERVE THE LANDSCAPE IN WHICH THE INSTITUTE IS FOUNDED.
