Welcome to the Thunderbird Foundation for the Arts

The Thunderbird Foundation is a non-profit organization furthering the legacy of American artist Maynard Dixon (1875-1946) by preserving his estate and educating the public about his immeasurable contributions to American art. 

Programs sponsored by the Thunderbird Foundation include educational tours of Dixon's Mt. Carmel, Utah property, internships for working artists, workshops and artist retreats, and full day art workshops for people with special needs.  The Thunderbird Foundation hosts their annual benefit event, Maynard Dixon Country every August, to continue these worthwhile programs and to benefit the lives of today's working artists in America.

We hope you will enjoy all that this site has to offer as you learn more about Maynard Dixon and the Thunderbird Foundation for the Arts.
