About
Art museums are founded by major collectors and/or philanthropists, mostly men, as monuments to their taste and a legacy to their communities.
The Peninsula Museum of Art was founded by a working artist, a woman, Ruth Waters. I have an interesting collection of art from fellow artists and travels; developed an art center (complex of working studios for 27 visual artists, small gallery, since 1977); and an enduring dream, but no money to speak of.
