Baryn Futa Believes in the Importance of the Arts

It is simply a fact that the arts serve as is a key element of every human society. Art establishes a society’s identity and tells its story. That is why the arts should be universally supported and protected. What makes Baryn Futa unhappy is that the arts are too often taken for granted. They are certainly not fully appreciated as a priority. That acknowledgement is what drives Baryn Futa’s work in support of the fine arts, which he does as a benefactor, as well as someone who just appreciates the beauty art represents.

Baryn Futa operates from the belief that brilliant artists are too often unappreciated, certainly not enough to thrive, so he has spent his life doing everything he can to rectify that situation. Baryn Futa didn’t always have such a deep appreciation for the arts. In fact, it wasn’t until he retired and began working with the Denver Art Museum that he began to appreciate the importance of the arts. No one was more surprised than he that he felt such a deep attraction to the art world. He used his time at the DAM to cultivate his love of the arts and art history by attending art fairs and museum exhibitions and anything else he could find.

Besides all that, Baryn Futa also attended numerous arts classes and started an art collection of his own, as a way to preserve as much art as possible. That collection is quite extensive and highly impressive. As often as he can, Baryn Futa also loans pieces from his own collection to museums because he wants more people to appreciate the arts the way he does. He holds memberships in many prominent art museums with impressive collections of their own, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and The Jewish Museum.
