Contribute to the Richard C. Bumstead Facilities Fund in Memory of Vivienne C. Bumstead
Richard C. Bumstead, who lived next door to the Fechin House as a child, recently set up a facilities fund in memory of his mother, Vivienne C. Bumstead. He thoughtfully created this fund - and will further contribute to it through a transformational bequest - to create an endowment for improvements and enhancements to the Museum's structures and gardens. Richard said, "I felt that this is often an overlooked area of giving to art museums, but without a suitable environment, most museums can't function. And the legacy that Nicolai left with the house and studio is a national treasure that needs to be maintained in perpetuity."

Taos Art Museum welcomes gifts of museum-quality art consistent with the focus of its collections and mission. If you are interested in donating art, please email us a photograph with as much information as possible, including the artist's name, date of creation, title, medium, size, and provenance. As much as we would love to accept all donations, our space is limited, and not all gifts fit within our scope and mission.
