Philanthropy

Eldorado Springs Art Center, ESAC

Founder and Director

In 2000, Giuseppe purchased a dilapidated Volvo repair shop held together with metal cables. With his background in renovating and repurposing underutilized properties it became his principal sculpture studio. As a way of giving back he has created a private/ public space with sculpture gardens, art studios and residential units. The mission has been to support the arts, artists and build create community to be a positive influence in the world through the power of art.

ESAC assists artists through direct purchases of art, providing affordable studio space, mentoring under the principal that serious artists should be compensated fairly. Funding is provided through art sales and like minded philanthropists.

Gallery Giuseppe is pleased to partner with organizations designed to advance human welfare, from assisting artists, funding girls education to cancer research. The following is a partial list of causes, people, and collectors Giuseppe is affiliated with.

Colorado Cancer Foundation

“Seeking to make a personal impact in the fight against cancer, a group of family and friends founded the Colorado Cancer Foundation (CCF) in 1980. In succeeding years, the 501(c)(3) charitable organization grew beyond curative treatment and palliative care to include medical research and education at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO.” - Colorado Cancer Foundation
