To sustain and further the creative spirit in art and science …in harmony with the gifts of the earth.

— Otto Piene, Groton, Massachusetts, July 23, 2005

The Elizabeth Goldring Piene and Otto Piene Foundation at 383 Old Ayer Road in Groton, MA, is to maintain its integrity as an intact, beautiful, traditional piece of agriculture and natural property in the service of the arts, the greater environment and the New England educational and academic world. European origins are an essential element in the vital composition of the region and its place in contemporary and future life and work. (Otto Piene)

The Foundation is dedicated to art as a living link between thought and matter, between the cerebral and the physical, at once spiritual and sensual whether in painting, media, or in public celebrations.
