The Bobby Anspach Studios Foundation (BASF) is a not-for-profit arts organization dedicated to preserving and providing access to the work of Bobby Anspach, who built sound and light sculptures with, on the one hand, the ambitious aim of preventing the world from destroying itself and, on the other hand, the more modest aim of providing individuals with singular aesthetic experiences. 

Continuing Bobby’s mission, the foundation grounds itself in the same principle that fueled Bobby’s work: a conviction regarding the power of meditation and art. Alongside continuing to preserve and share Bobby’s work, the foundation engages and supports artistic and mindfulness programming, as well as artists, educators, and meditation practitioners, all with the aim of offering people the opportunity to encounter and express something singular in their human experience.

The Bobby Anspach Studios Foundation brings together leaders from the art, wellness, and mental health communities. The Foundation's board of directors includes Adam Adelson, Executive Director of Adelson Galleries; Dr. Jimmy Avari, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College; and Lane Cooper, Professor of Art at Cleveland Institute of Art, alongside members of the Anspach family. Paula Baldoni, Director of River House Arts, serves as the Foundation's Executive Director.
