The Custard Institute for Spanish Art and Culture (CISAC) at the Meadows Museum was established in 2021 thanks to generous gifts from Linda P. and William A. Custard and The Meadows Foundation. Its mission is to build on the museum’s current research and educational programs and significantly increase the museum’s research activities by fostering interdisciplinary collaborations with peer institutions and by facilitating new ways of teaching and learning in order to deepen our understanding of the impact of Spanish art and culture.
