The Aristos Foundation
Aristos is published by The Aristos Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1986. The Foundation's purpose is to deepen public understanding of the nature of art and to foster greater understanding and appreciation of traditional values and craft in the arts, as opposed to both modernism and postmodernism.
In addition to the publication of Aristos, current projects include expansion and dissemination of the ideas in What Art Is: The Esthetic Theory of Ayn Rand and informing the public about the work and life of Jack Schaefer (author of Shane).
The Foundation operates on a very lean budget and is supported primarily by individuals. It also accepts support from private foundations and corporations, but not from governmental agencies. Contributions to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
