In 2006, business consultant and artist Mario Alberico incorporated Gallery 119.The mission of Gallery 119 is to help alleviate the suffering of the poor, the oppressed, the orphaned, the widowed and the afflicted in the world. This is accomplished in a number of ways that include the exhibit, sale and donation of art works. As part of his mission, a non-profit 501c3 company calledFoundation 119 was created. This charitable organization accepts proceeds from Gallery 119, and donations from many other sources, and selects institutions and people to receive funds whose work or need is aligned with our mission and the life experiences of the artist.
