When one looks around, it is obvious that almost everyone appreciates the arts on some level, but not everyone is in a position to support the arts to the extent that is needed. That is likely why Baryn Futa seems to be doing all he can to pick up some of 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. That is why he attended numerous arts classes and started his own art collection, which has grown to be very extensive and impressive.
Baryn Futa didn’t always have such a deep appreciation for the arts. In fact, it wasn’t until he retired from work 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 with his deep attraction to the art world. He used his time at DAM to cultivate his love of the arts and art history by attending art fairs and museum exhibitions and anything else he could find.
Baryn Futa currently now holds memberships in a great number of prominent art museums with impressive collections of their own, and he also loans pieces from his own very impressive collection to museums whenever possible, as a way to get more people to appreciate are as much as he does. Even though art appreciation is a key element of every human society and should be supported, it is too often taken for granted and not appreciated as a priority, which is why he is trying to do everything he can to combat that.
