Daphne and Stuart Wells, Senior Members since 2015
When we were dating years ago, we often went to the Metropolitan Museum in New York, basking in the aesthetic qualities of the Frank Lloyd Wright room, discovering the power of simplicity, calmness, and value of materials. When we first encountered Asian art at the Asian Art Museum's former home in Golden Gate Park, we felt this excitement again, sparking a lifelong connection to the arts and cultures of Asia.
Rather than an occasional source of entertainment, we view the museum as a significant community resource, actively engaging us all in not only aesthetics, but issues of social importance, sparking a deeper appreciation of diverse cultures, helping us understand the world and our place in it. This, especially evident in the museum's programs for young people, is why we support the museum through our membership, and why we are making a legacy gift to continue these essential efforts into the future.
We are grateful that we can be part of the museum's ongoing evolution, offering rich experiences to onsite visitors, and, via digital means, to the global community.
Join Stuart and Daphne Wells by making a gift to the museum in your will or by beneficiary designation to ensure that your legacy at the Asian Art Museum lives on for future generations. Contact Kate McNulty at 415.581.3683 or kmcnulty@asianart.org for more information.
