Baryn Futa Does His Best to Bring Art to the Masses

It strikes one as strange that Baryn Futa didn’t always have a deep appreciation for the arts because he now has such a deep love of art these days. It wasn’t until he retired and began working with the Denver Art Museum that he began to appreciate the importance of art, and perhaps no one was more surprised than Baryn to feel such a deep attraction to art and 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. He also attended numerous arts classes and started his own art collection, which has grown to be very extensive and impressive.

Nearly everyone appreciates the arts on some gut level, but not everyone is in a position to support the arts to the extent that is needed. That explains why Baryn Futa is trying to pick up the slack and take on as much of the responsibility that he can. While he sees the arts as a great cause that benefits all of society, he also sees it as a profitable and useful investment.

These days, Baryn Futa holds memberships in a great number of prominent art museums with impressive collections of their own, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, and The Jewish Museum. He also routinely loans pieces from his own collection to museums because he wants more people to appreciate the arts as much as he does.
