The West Collection is the contemporary art collection founded by Al and Paige West in 1996.  Their vision is to support emerging artists by collecting their work and showcasing the pieces at the publicly traded investment firm SEI, which was founded by Al West in 1968. Paige West has put together a program around the collection at SEI, where 4,000 financial service employees work among the artwork and engage with it through tours, classes and related programming. To date, the Wests have collected the work of 720 artists, and the collection contains 3,800 artworks. The collection is on view at SEI's main campus in Oaks, and one of their satellite locations in central London. Employees and around 8,000 outside visitors each year take guided tours to see the continually changing installations. Paige West is committed to allowing the collected works to be available back to the artists for museum exhibitions, and numerous institutions have borrowed works over the 24 years, including the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Whitney Museum of American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Broad, and the Tate Modern.
