OUR STORY
The Twentieth was born from our shared conviction that supporting the arts should be an enjoyable, thoughtful, and deeply rewarding journey.
With two decades working within museums, institutions, and as independent philanthropy advisors, we saw the need for a transparent and unbiased approach to giving back, in an art world that can sometimes feel daunting to navigate.
Our name reflects our values, inspired by an ancient Greek tradition where every twentieth day celebrated creativity and connection—a moment to embrace cultural enrichment and the “good life.”
That’s what we’re all about—helping you build meaningful connections with the arts, make a difference, and above all, enjoy the process.
