The work of internationally acclaimed artist Robert
Rauschenberg is found in every important private and
museum collection of contemporary art worldwide. His
dyslexia was not diagnosed until he was an adult. The
Robert Rauschenberg Foundation is a nonprofit
organization devoted to projects which will increase
public awareness of subjects of vital interest to the
artist: education, medical research, the environment,
the homeless, world hunger and global enhancement of
the arts. The Lab School of Washington, founded in
1967, is recognized worldwide for its innovative
