About Davetourje

• Dave Tourjé has a lifetime of achievements as an
  artist, and is now featured in the LA Aboriginal
  film by Daniel Lir and Bayou Bennett.
• He paints, draws, sculpts and even creates
  furniture.
• Prompted by his 1998 purchase and renovation of
  the Nelbert Chouinard house in South Pasadena,
  Tourjé began researching the history of the
  Chouinard School of Art, which later evolved into
  the California Institute of the Arts.

Chouinard Foundation

• The Chouinard Foundation was founded in 1999 by
  Bob Perine and Dave Tourje, after Tourje
  purchased the home of Nelbert Chouinard - the
  founder of the original Chouinard School of Art
  in 1921.
• The Chouinard Foundation's purpose was to
  illuminate the legacy of Chouinard and bring it
  to public consciousness, whether by mounting
  major Museum shows, starting an art school,
  partnering with the City of LA or presenting a
  feature-length documentary film.
