Bequest from the Estate of Margo Leavin

A pioneering Los Angeles-based gallerist, Margo Leavin (1936-2021) was a longtime supporter of FCA, and an early champion of the work of FCA Co-Founder Jasper Johns. In the fall of 2023, FCA announced an almost $9 million bequest from the estate of Margo Leavin, a portion of which has enabled the launch of FCA's new Creative Research Grants and will provide lead funding for the program for five years. Overall, FCA has apportioned an estimated 75% of this generous bequest to directly support artists through new programs and the expansion of existing programs, including funds dedicated to supporting artists in Southern California—in keeping with Leavin’s commitment to artists in the region. The remaining 25% has been invested to help ensure the longevity of FCA.
