The purpose of the Iris Foundation is to advance education in the decorative arts and to promote the understanding and appreciation of the decorative arts of all cultures. The Foundation is named for Iris Weber, the mother of Susan Weber. The Iris Foundation Awards were created in 1997 to recognize scholars, patrons, and professionals who have made outstanding contributions to the study and appreciation of the decorative arts as expressions of taste, ideology, and cultural aspirations.
