The following links are just a few examples of grants
through the Tateuchi Foundation:

 

Tateuchi Center

Scheduled to open in 2013, the Tateuchi Center will be a multiple venue, multi-disciplinary performing arts center located in downtown Bellevue. Intended to host local-based and touring regional, national, and international performers, the Tateuchi Center intends to cull the highest caliber performances to enrich, educate, and entertain audiences in the greater Seattle area and beyond.

With a significant multi-year groundbreaking grant, the Atsuhiko & Ina Goodwin Tateuchi Foundation has earned the honor of being the center’s namesake. A portion of this grant will go towards Japan and Asia-focused programming, continuing the Tateuchi legacy of promoting international understanding through organizations committed to cultural diversity.

Tateuchi Thematic Gallery

The Maharaja and Me by Sanjay Patel

The illustrations displayed are modern interpretations
of Indian maharaas during the time of the British colonization.
Although many other images and artifacts in the larger
Maharaja: Splendor of India exhibitare from earlier Indian
culture or British interpretations of that culture, these stand
out as a reflection upon that relationship. They juxtapose the
interweaving role between art and pop culture dependent
on time, audience, and creator. All illustrations are created
by Sanjay Patel.

The Tateuchi Foundation also supports the educational
programming of the San Francisco Asian Art Museum to reach
K-12 youth by enhancing history, social sciences, and visual
arts curriculums with Asian art.
