==Fundación Pascual== [[File:OrigenAcervo28.JPG|thumb|Works from the permanent collection on display at the Centro de Educación Continua Unidad Allende IPN]] During the strike of 1982–1985, workers were supported by over 320 artists.<ref name="25años"/> After the workers won the right to take over the company, these artists along with the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana and Taller de Gráfica Popular began a project to auction donated works to raise the money needed to restart the idle plants. The project gathered 524 works of art.<ref name="elarte"/> However, most of the donated paintings were not sold for various reasons ending with the obtaining of the needed money from the main union of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.<ref name="plaza"/><ref name="elarte"/> The new workers’ cooperative offered to return the works to the artists but most preferred that they remained with the organization. From 1985 to 1991, the collection increased to almost one thousand pieces due to continued donations.<ref name="elarte"/> In 1991, the cooperative created the Fundación Cultural de Trabajadores de Pascual to care and promote the collection.<ref name="25años"/> The permanent collection mostly contains works by about 400 Mexican and Latin American artists but also some from Spain and Germany, representing about 400 artists, mostly dating from the middle to late 20th century.<ref name="arcoiris">{{cite news |title= Exhiben un arcoiris de arte mexicano |first=Yazmin |last=Juandiego |newspaper=Reforma |location= Mexico City |date=September 2, 1999 |page=4 |trans-title=Exhibit a rainbow of Mexican art }}</ref> The collection includes sculptures, canvas works, [[diptych]]s, [[triptych]]s and more.
