Philora
Bespoke public art for families, institutions, and the legacies they build.
Philora brings artists, donors, advisors, and institutions together to create permanent named works of public art. Each commission is shaped by a donor's story, guided by a dedicated project lead, and placed as a charitable gift at a university, hospital, museum, or civic space.
Our Mission
To make lasting art the highest form of giving.
