Fundación César Manrique
The César Manrique foundation was set up in 1982 by César Manrique and a group of friends but wasn't officially opened until 1992, after Manrique was killed. The foundation, based at Manrique's home before he moved out for a quieter life, is a private, non-profit organisation set-up to allow tourists access to Manrique's home. The foundation is also an art-gallery featuring both art created by Manrique himself, as well as art Manrique acquired over his life. The gallery includes original sketches by Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró. The money that the foundation makes from ticket sales, goes into Lanzarote and helps to raise awareness about art as well as being used to fund the foundation's "artistic, cultural and environmental activities".
