The Bob Mizer Foundation, Inc. believes that the most disputed works of art are the most important to the progress of society.
Our mission is driven by the need to preserve Bob Mizer's archives, which include over one million photographic works, and his equipment, props, sets, and remaining personal effects. In addition, the foundation holds works by some of Mizer's contemporaries and successors, including George Quaintance, Bruce Bellas, and Dave Martin, and exhibits photographic shows by artists producing works that visually, politically, or otherwise push mainstream societal boundaries.
Every donation makes a difference and has a tremendous impact on our work.
Take a few minutes to watch this eleven minute video and learn who Bob Mizer was and what we are up against to preserve his estate.
Our volunteer staff helps support our mission, champions to save the life work of Bob Mizer and other pioneers like him, brings awareness to the issues facing the potential loss of this work, provides critical support on stuff like accounting, technology, and HR, and raises money to make all of this happen. We have an appetite for things of the past and we all share a common passion - we love and appreciate Bob Mizer, vintage physique photography, and the pioneers who fought for the rights we take for granted today.
