Chipstone Foundation

Chipstone Foundation: The Chipstone Foundation is a Fox Point, Wisconsin-based foundation dedicated to promoting American decorative arts scholarship. Originating in the private collection of Stanley and Polly Stone, the foundation uses its objects and resources to support decorative arts projects and publications at other institutions, seeking to find "newer ways to look at old things."^[1].

In 1999 the Chipstone Foundation partnered with the Milwaukee Art Museum, so many of Chipstone’s significant holdings are now on view there to the public.

The Chipstone Foundation publishes two significant scholarly journals: American Furnitureand Ceramics in America.^[2] The foundation also has an association with the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Together they created an academic program that explores multiple approaches to the study of American material culture by bringing together scholars from other departments at the University, including history, art, African studies, sesign, and literature.
