The foundation aims to preserve, disseminate and make accessible the artistic work of the founder and works from her artistic environment. Part of the work is to be transferred to suitable museums in Switzerland and abroad through temporary or permanent loans or donations of individual works or groups of works. Organizational or financial means can be used to support exhibitions, monographs, catalogs or other contributions to the founder's work. Furthermore, the foundation also aims to provide the same support to artists from the artistic environment of Erika Streit. Loans or donations of individual works or groups of works by Erika Streit can also be transferred to public-law institutions or foundations in Switzerland and abroad free of charge and become their property.
