The “All of Us” Foundation is a legal entity established by the Dicastery that focuses on artistic and cultural activities. Its mission is to promote—following the words of Pope Francis—a “culture of encounter,” fostering the “capacity to dream of new versions of the world,” and steering “our societies towards beauty and universal brotherhood.” The Foundation derives its name from the recognition that art is not an exclusive or elitist pursuit, but rather an inclusive and open experience that engages “all of us.”
The Foundation operates as an instrumental body of the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See. It is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça, with Father Antonio Spadaro serving as the Secretary General.
