The world of art collection is unfortunately a rather small one. So those people who are collecting art are pretty much always happy to hear about other new collectors. Baryn Futa is one person who has tried to inspire others to get involved in the collection of art and the patronizing of artists. Lots o people enjoy art—in fact, just about everyone enjoys it in one form or another—but there are not enough people out there putting their money into the appreciation of fine arts. Baryn Futa is not afraid to put his money into this field because he knows that fine pieces of art not only deserve to be preserved and exhibited, but that they represent good investments as well.

He thereafter discovered how much he really loved the arts and endeavored to learn more about the history of art and the current state of the arts. In order to accomplish this he attended arts history and appreciation classes, both online and in physical classrooms. He also attended art exhibits, visited museums, and went on trips to art fairs.

Baryn Futa's Artistic Journey

As a prolific arts patron, Baryn Futa does the best he can because he sincerely believes the arts to be among the most beautiful aspects of life. However, he believes there is more to the arts than just beauty. He recognizes the arts as playing a necessary and defining element of any culture and every society. For those reasons and many others, Baryn has come to the conclusion that art should always be preserved for future generations.

From Baryn Futa’s perspective - and he is not alone - the art of the past has managed to build a bridge to our ancestors in a way nothing else can. That is why he believes it is our responsibility as a society to we preserve as much art as possible for future generations. In addition to old or ancient art that has been preserved through the centuries, we should also preserve as much current artistic expression as possible, for posterity. After all, if art is seen as communication, we should continue the conversation well into the future.

Baryn Futa Believes Art is a Key to a Society’s Identity

Baryn Futa was actually late to the party when it comes to art and art appreciation. He certainly didn't always possess a deep appreciation for the arts. It wasn't until he retired and began working with the Denver Art Museum that he began to appreciate the importance of art to society. No one was more surprised than he that he felt such a deep attraction to the art world. To Baryn Futa’s mind, brilliant artists are not appreciated enough to thrive, so he has spent his life doing as much as he can to help.


While nearly everyone appreciates the arts on some level, not everyone is in a position to support the arts to the extent that is needed. When Baryn Futa realized that he is in a position to support arts and artists, he understood his dumb luck. He is obviously trying to take on as much of the responsibility for art that he can shoulder. While he sees the arts as a as a profitable and useful investment, he also sees art preservation as a necessity that benefits all of society.

The reason Baryn Futa’s art collection is very extensive now has little to do with the potential return on investment; he has no intention of selling his art for a profit. He collects art because that investment is the best method for preserving art for the future. He doesn’t buy and sell art with an eye on preserving art for the future, not to make a profit now. Though art appreciation is considered by most to a key element of every human society and should be supported, too often artists are taken for granted and their art is not appreciated as a priority. That neglect serves as a primary driver for Baryn Futa's work in support of the fine arts, as both a benefactor and someone who simply appreciates the finer things in life.
