Over the past two years, DVDL has been collaborating with art collectors Michael Forman and Jennifer Rice on the development of their Forman Arts Initiative, a platform to connect and support artists and cultural organizations in Philadelphia.  FAI will bring resources to the arts and art to the city’s communities. Through research trips, workshops, convenings and events, collection analysis as well as qualitative and quantitative forecasting work, DVDL has led the process to gradually develop this  unique cultural institution.
