About the Foundation

Phimister Proctor ‘Sandy’ Church, founder of the Proctor Foundation, with daughter and director of the foundation, Laura Proctor Ames.

Phimister Proctor ‘Sandy’ Church,

with daughter and director of the foundation,
Laura Proctor Ames.

The Alexander Phimister Proctor Foundation was established in 1997 by Phimister Proctor “Sandy” Church, grandson of Alexander Phimister Proctor (1860 – 1950). Sandy’s passion for his grandfather’s life work led him to create the Foundation, now directed by Sandy’s daughter, Laura Proctor Ames.

The mission of the Alexander Phimister Proctor Foundation is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the art created by Alexander Phimister Proctor. Through a conscientious program of research, acquisition, publication, and exhibition, the Foundation strives to engage audiences in Proctor’s art and the adventurous life of the man behind it.

The Foundation site will allow you to travel much the same journey that Sandy has taken through the years. You will learn of Proctor’s life and ambitions, of his art and art world. You will learn of the Foundation’s continuing work in locating Proctor art, in helping to identify his art, of ongoing efforts in conserving his outdoor sculptures. You will find the museums and institutions near you that now house Proctor art.

We hope you enjoy the Alexander Phimister Proctor journey with Sandy and Laura.

The A. Phimister Proctor Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable foundation.
