Each year New Projects collaborates with a select group of artists on experimental projects, providing them with a platform and the means to venture into unfamiliar territory and achieve something fundamentally new. We believe this approach not only generates more great art but also more great artists — ones unafraid to try something truly different. Learn More

Our team produces several major exhibitions each year, showcasing works from the collection and helping draw attention to the artists we support. Our exhibitions center around our gallery space in Denver, The Vault, with ongoing community activating events happening across all Pardon's key cities, including Los Angeles and New York.

Collage weaves through many of the initiatives that we touch in the arts. Not only does the Pardon Collection boast one of largest collections of contemporary collage in the world, our publication Collé, and upcoming exhibition series, The Future of Collage, serve to elevate the medium and expand the philosophy further into the mainstream art and cultural world.

In addition to collecting works from galleries, art fairs, and through collaborations with New Projects, every year we select artists for commissions and to participate in our residency program. This approach enriches the organization and our collection while actively supporting and engaging with our community of artists.

The Pardon team includes several members who are themselves artists with studio practices. Embedding artists in the Pardon team ensures we keep our creation pure and grounded, while adding the essence of art into everything we bring to life. Staff artists at Pardon are supported in a variety of ways to achieve their goals as professional artists, as they serve their roles on the Family Office team.
