During the next several years, a large number of U.S. embassies will be constructed, and the State Department has asked FAPE to commission site-specific works by American artists for many of them. In commissioning work, FAPE is assisted by an advisory committee of prominent arts professionals, chaired by Robert Storr, Dean of the Yale School of Art. Once an artist has been selected and has agreed to create a work, the embassy architects, the State Department, FAPE, and the artist work together to ensure that the art is sensitively integrated with the building and its grounds. The works are all donated by the artists, and FAPE provides the funds to pay for their fabrication and installation.
