The organization was set up to illustrate Cuixart's artistic career and to protect his work. Over time, it became a cultural organization that protects his heritage and promotes contemporary Catalan art at an international level. It gives new artists a platform and organizes activities related to art, culture and teaching to inspire new generations. It seeks to sensitize participating artists and give them the intellectual tools to appreciate modern art and its heritage.[2]
In addition, the Cuixart Foundation takes care of the modernist house and workshop where Modest Cuixart lived from the 1970s as part of its cultural heritage.
The Foundation works in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Town Hall of Palafrugell in different educational and cultural projects.[3]
