DEAr MEMBErs,
In this issue of Member News, we celebrate you, our dedicated and generous
family of museum members. Through your annual membership support,
participation and financial contributions, you make a critical difference for our
museums every day.
With nearly 7,000 households, representing more than 12,000 members,
the Museum of New Mexico proudly boasts the largest arts membership in
New Mexico. Among museums across America, our membership program
ranks in the top tier per capita. Museum of New Mexico members are also
very loyal, with more than 4,000 members continuing their membership for
more than ten years.
Our members are the lifeblood of our museums. Members represent approximately
25 percent of annual museum attendance. Many members volunteer
in our museums, contributing countless invaluable hours of service that enliven
and enrich the museum experience for all. And through membership dues
and other contributions, members collectively give more than $4 million
a year to support engaging exhibitions and education programs that bring
the arts and history of New Mexico and the world alive for visitors.
In 2012, we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Museum of New Mexico
Foundation. To commemorate the occasion, we are launching a 50th Anniversary
Challenge. When you increase your membership support by May 31, 2012,
your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to a total of $50,000 thanks to a
special challenge grant. In return, you’ll receive new membership benefits and
the satisfaction of supporting future museum exhibitions, education programs
and other cultural activities. Please see page four to learn about how to participate
in our 50th Anniversary Challenge.
Reflecting on the remarkable history of citizen support for the Museum of
New Mexico, we give thanks to each of you for your dedication and belief
in the importance of a vital and dynamic museum system.
Sincerely,
John P. Easley
Executive Director

Museum of Art courtyard. The Barbers are
among the longest continuous members in
the Foundation’s 50-year history. They joined
in May 1966, when membership cost $10.
In addition to their 46-year membership,
the Barbers have given direct gifts to
the Annual Fund for Museum Education,
New Mexico History Museum, Museum
of International Folk Art and Office of
Archaeological Studies. They are members
of the Palace Guard and participate in many
special museum projects. The Barbers divide
their time between Santa Fe and Longboat
Key, Florida. Photo © 2012 Daniel Quat.

Foundation Trustee Vice Chair Sherry Davis was recently
named Chair of the New Mexico Arts Commission.
The 15-member commission is the advisory body for
New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of
Cultural Affairs. Davis is also a dedicated advocate of
the New Mexico History Museum. She served as chair of
the museum’s grand opening gala in 2009 and currently
chairs the museum’s Development Committee. Davis is

Why Membership Matters
MuseuM of neW Mexico MeMbers cherish cuLture and coMMunity connections
One woman treasures her childhood dream of living in
the Palace of the Governors. A Santa Fe family of four
frequents the museums for exploration and education.
An Albuquerque couple makes a day of visiting state
monuments and other favorite cultural destinations.
All of these individuals are devoted Museum
of New Mexico members. Their reasons for
becoming members are diverse. But their
reasons for renewing membership, or contributing
beyond annual membership dues, are
motivated by the personal satisfaction, cultural
education, creative entertainment and financial
value they say membership brings to their lives.
“It’s the best cultural bargain I know,” says
member Ann Van Arsdall of Albuquerque.
Adds Santa Fe member Anabella St. Peter,
“It’s only $75 for my family of four, and it’s
tax deductible.” Nancy Dimit, another Santa
Fe member, says, “Membership is one of the
highlights of my life.”
More than 12,000 individuals consider
museum membership an asset in their lives.
All combined, these avid museum advocates
comprise the largest arts-and-culture collective
in New Mexico — and one of the largest, most
robust museum membership programs per
capita in the United States.
MEMBErsHip By THE nuMBErs
Nearly 4,000 museum members participated
in a survey to tell the Foundation what motivates
their membership support and which
member benefits they value most.
Their answers, and other membership data,
reveal these notable things about Museum of
New Mexico members:
• 79 % join to support a local arts organization
• 44 % join because it’s a good financial value
• 17 % join with a specific museum interest
or area of collecting
• 25 % join for lifelong educational opportunities
• Nearly 70 % renew each year, a retention
rate matched by only 16 % of museum
membership programs nationwide
• More than 4,000 members have been
members for over ten years

Nancy Dimit, pictured inside the Palace of the Governor’s Courtyard,
has been a loyal museum member and donor since the early 1980s.

Clearly, our members are committed. So how do their
membership revenues and other contributions impact Museum
of New Mexico exhibitions, education and other cultural
programs? Consider these impressive facts:
• The Foundation-run membership program generates more
than $1.2 million in annual member dues, placing it in the
top 32 % of museum membership programs nationwide that
earn comparable revenues
• Member dues, combined with other member contributions,
provide more than $4 million in private annual support
throughout the Museum of New Mexico
• 100 % of membership revenues support the Foundation’s
work to provide our partner institutions with fund development
for exhibitions and education, financial management
and advocacy
These stellar markers of private support are critical to excellence,
innovation and sustainability at the Museum of New
Mexico. As a public-private partnership, the State of New
Mexico funds staffing, building operations and care of priceless
state art collections. It’s left to members and other private
donors to fund exhibitions, education, public programs, acquisitions
and other vital elements needed to bring the state’s best
offerings in art, history and archaeology to New Mexico and
the world.

Cultural enlightenment. Personal enrichment. Community
connections. These are some of the broad reasons members
give for making membership a priority in their busy lives. But at
its heart, the truest measure of membership is personal experience.
Here, three dedicated members tell why their membership
matters:
A liFETiME COMMiTMEnT
“I’m a museum-a-holic with a passion for history,” says Nancy
Dimit, a Santa Fe resident and member since the early 1980s.
Raised in Colorado, Dimit’s love of museums took root as a
child in the early 1940s, when she spent summers in the Pecos
Wilderness with women family members whose husbands were
away at war.
“I used to visit the Palace of the Governors with my grandmother,”
she recalls. “My childhood dream was that I was going
to live there.”
Dimit is among a group of members who join with a specific
museum interest or collecting area. She contributes to all the
museums as a Friends group member, but like a majority of all
members, the Palace and New Mexico History Museum are
particularly important in her life.
A former Palace docent, Dimit once volunteered as a museum
educator, traveling to schools statewide to teach New Mexico
history. Beyond membership, she has contributed to history
museum exhibitions and acquisitions and recently provided
funding to repair deteriorating Palace windows. Every year, she
purchases memberships for her three children.
“The opportunities of membership are incredible and have
made my life more interesting,” she says. “I take great ownership
in these institutions and pride in my involvement. It’s a
lifetime commitment.”

A FAMily AFFAir
Like many museum members, Anabella and John St. Peter of
Santa Fe believe their family membership is a good financial value.
But even more valuable are the lifelong educational opportunities
that membership offers them and their six-year-old twin daughters.
“I knew we had to be members if we wanted to have free
admission, go to exhibitions and attend events,” says Anabella
St. Peter, a museum and dance educator. The family’s real
estate broker gave them a museum membership when they
moved to Santa Fe in 2005. “When the girls were born,” St.
Peter says, “there was no question we would renew.”
At three months old, daughters Emma and Hannah were
attending exhibition openings with their parents. Today, the family
visits the museums after school and on weekends. Favorite destinations
include the Museum of International Folk Art’s Girard Wing
and the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture’s Discovery Center.
“The exhibitions and activities are safe and interesting for
children,” says St. Peter. “It’s so gratifying to see my children
develop their aesthetics and comment about the artworks they
observe at the museums. When people tell me their kids think
museums are boring, I suggest they let their children lead them
through a museum. They’ll never be bored again.”
A sTATEWiDE ExpEriEnCE
Anne Van Arsdall and Jay Kratochvil of Albuquerque are among
the vast majority of members who join out of a desire to support
local cultural institutions. The fact that none of those institutions
is located in the couple’s city of residence has not deterred them
from reaping the benefits of membership since 1991.
“We go to the state monuments about once a month, or we go
to Santa Fe for the day,” Van Arsdall says. “The museums are like
old friends. We see exhibitions, enjoy the historic buildings, or just
sit in the lovely courtyard at the Museum of Art. Albuquerque is
certainly within reach, and even more so with the Rail Runner.”
Van Arsdall, a retired medieval historian, and Kratochvil, an
engineer and printmaker, believe the Museum of New Mexico is
an unparalleled cultural resource. “I have never been in another
state with a museum system this rich,” Van Arsdall says, adding
that the state monuments are particularly unique attractions.
“You can see parts of the state you’ve never known and make
places like the Camino Real or the Jemez ruins the center of a
historic day,” she says. “Museum membership is a great way to
get out of the city and experience art and history in a different
kind of way. And as a member, you can go back every day.”

Mari Thornburg
Strengthening Personal Cultural Connections
When Mari Thornburg recently inherited an exquisite Estonian
women’s ensemble — a blouse, skirt, apron, shawl and embroidered
slippers that her late mother made and wore before World
War II — she gifted it to the Museum of International Folk Art.
For the Canadian-born Thornburg, whose Estonian mother died
in 2010, the donation both strengthened her personal cultural
connections and her varied ties to Santa Fe.
“The folk dress found the right home in Santa Fe,” she says.
“I feel forever connected in that way.”
Though she lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where she is
interim senior associate dean for administration at Wake Forest
University Medical School, Santa Fe is close to Thornburg’s heart.
Posada, Thornburg’s financial consulting business that serves top
U.S. medical schools, is named for Santa Fe’s La Posada hotel,
where she decided to launch the venture. She has lived in Albuquerque
and serves on the board of the Santa Fe-based National
Center for Genome Resources. And on May 28, 2010, Thornburg
married her husband Alex at Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe.
“We have lots of reasons to come back,” she says, including
the couple’s recent membership in The Circles. A member at the
Benefactor level since 2003, Thornburg upgraded to The Circles
after the donation to the folk art museum.
“It had a lot to do with the physical donation of the piece.
I wanted to feel more connected,” she says. “Even though I’m not
physically present much of the time, I read The Circles information
and keep an eye on the calendar to see what events I can attend
when I’m in Santa Fe.”
The couple’s next visit in May will be followed by a trip to
Estonia. There they will attend Thornburg’s 480-year Estonian
family reunion and prepare to launch an Estonian folk art import
business.
“We’re putting money back into a cottage industry,” she says,
“and I’m staying connected to family and traditions I never
knew I had.”

Deborah Fritz
and GF Contemporary
Building Community through Business and Art
Los Alamos native Deborah Fritz moved to Santa Fe in 1997 with
an art history degree from the University of New Mexico and
dreams of being a sculptor. Instead, she found success in the art
of being a gallery director.
In February 2001, Fritz opened Giaccobe-Fritz Fine Art on Canyon
Road, in partnership with her sister, Kimberly Giacobbe. In 2009,
she opened another gallery, GF Contemporary, across the street.
Together, the galleries represent a unique continuum of art, from
traditional representational paintings, sculpture and graphics to
more contemporary expressions in various media.
“I pinch myself every day that I get to do what I love,” Fritz says.
Fritz’s passion for art includes membership in the Museum
of New Mexico Foundation Business Council. An individual
museum member since 2006, she took advantage of a special
offer to members of the Santa Fe Art Gallery Association, where
she serves as vice president, to join the Business Council. A
New Mexico Museum of Art devotee and member of Friends of
Contemporary Art, Fritz saw the Business Council as a way to
support the museum on a professional level.
“Museum Director Mary Kershaw’s energy and excitement and
the new directions she’s taking the museum in are really exciting,”
she says.
Fritz not only increased her annual membership contribution to
join the Business Council, she volunteered to serve on the group’s
steering committee. In this role, Fritz now encourages other business
owners to join and participate in the cultural community.
“I say to my colleagues and competitors, ‘I think that part
of the success of my business is my involvement in the community,’”
she says. “The Business Council connects you to others
who you may work with down the road, but the number one
benefit is to support our community and our heritage. If you
love this community, there’s no better way to support it than
through the museums.”

The Art of the Bequest
a unique pLanned giving option
Most of us, if given the chance, would like to contribute
to a cause that will positively impact others for generations
to come. A charitable bequest is the simplest way to create
a lasting personal legacy that will benefit the Museum of
New Mexico and all who treasure its cultural riches.
Bequests allow you to remain in control of your assets
during your lifetime, are inexpensive to create and can
reduce estate tax burdens. They can be made with cash,
stock, art or real estate. For these reasons and more,
bequests account for half of all planned gifts.
BuilD yOur BEquEsT
Follow these three easy steps to a meaningful bequest:
• Decide the amount, purpose and beneficiary of your gift.
• Inform the Foundation of your bequest so that we ensure
your intentions will be carried out.
• See your attorney to create or modify your will.
ExprEss yOur BEquEsT
Use this sample language to begin crafting your bequest:
“I give, devise and bequeath to the Museum of New
Mexico Foundation, a non-profit corporation in the state
of New Mexico, the sum of $ (or % of my
estate) (or all of the residuary of my estate) to be used for
(options include, but are not limited to: general purposes,
endowment, exhibitions, educational programs, for the
foundation or a specific museum).”
To discuss options for making a bequest
or other legacy gift, contact Bonnie McLeskey
at (505) 982-6366 ext. 113 or
bonnie@museumfoundation.org.

A Personal Bequest Story
By Bud Hamilton, Foundation Board Chairman
Last year, my wife Valerie and I decided to make a legacy
gift — also known as a planned gift — to the Museum of New
Mexico Foundation. We had been considering this action for many
years, but the current economic malaise and our perception that
legacy giving is too complex created the perfect storm of reasons
to delay.
Like many financial calculations, planned giving must be weighed
carefully in light of each individual’s and family’s circumstances.
These decisions can be complicated, involve considerable uncertainty
and concern death — something none of us like to think
about. Hence, we often put off these matters for another day,
another year.
Today we know that legacy giving doesn’t have to be that hard.
If you’re having difficulty getting started, you might consider
the approach we took: a bequest. Bequests allow a donor to
designate in their estate plan a specific amount, or percentage,
to be given to the Foundation or one of the cultural institutions it
supports. Giving options include endowment, exhibitions, education
or other vital museum or division needs.
Our bequest benefits the Foundation’s Endowment Fund and its
long term ability to support our museums. In setting it up, we
discovered that bequests are simple, inexpensive and can be
made revocable should your life’s circumstances change. Most
important, bequests allow you to make a commitment now while
giving you time to consider other options later.
Legacy gifts are vital to the long term financial stability of the
Foundation and its cultural partners. The Foundation honors your
generosity with membership in the Legacy Society, a group that
enjoys exclusive gatherings and special recognition.
Valerie and I hope that our story will inspire you to join us in the
Legacy Society in 2012. Your decision today guarantees your
legacy will endure through the good work of our cultural institutions.
Remember, it doesn’t have to be complicated, so there is no
reason to delay.

Jackie Hall
Preparing for the Future
At 44, Jackie Hall recently did something that few in their forties
are ready to consider: she made a bequest.
Hall’s gift of two photographs — a 1907 photogravure by Alfred
Stieglitz and a 1950 gelatin silver print by Laura Gilpin — eventually
will go to the New Mexico Museum of Art. Contributing gifts
of art to a museum is not unusual. But Hall hopes the unusual life
lesson that motivated her art bequest proves valuable for others.
The Pittsburgh native was 27 when she married her high school
sweetheart. Seven months into the marriage, he became ill.
Two months later, he died.
“I’ve been a planner ever since,” Hall says. “It’s important to
be prepared.”
Hall, who moved to Santa Fe in 2003, is also a planner in her
professional life. She has worked in the nonprofit sector for 22
years, including the Carnegie Museums in Pittsburgh and the
Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Now director of philanthropy for The
Nature Conservancy, Hall knows that planned giving doesn’t
top her peers’ to-do list. But she says her gift demonstrates the
variety of options for giving to the Museum of New Mexico.
“At this stage in my life, I don’t have a huge amount of disposable
income to make a cash gift. But I wanted to give something to the
Museum of Art because I really admire the staff and the work they
do,” she says. “Contributing art doesn’t impact me financially
right now, and it doesn’t impact my family. And it leaves room
to make a more significant gift at another time.”
Hall says her ultimate giving goal is to have the greatest impact
on the museum. For that reason, she did not put any restrictions
on the gift. “If the museum staff decides they don’t want to keep
the photos, they are welcome to sell them to generate additional
revenue,” she says.
“There’s great satisfaction in making a planned gift,” she
continues. “I hope my gift inspires people to think creatively
about giving.”

How can planned giving work for you? Our expanded
website makes the process easier to understand and shows
you the way to your perfect planned gift.
Visit museumfoundation.org/planned-gifts/ to:
• compare giving options
• run confidential gift calculations
• stay up to date on charitable giving laws
• request information about different types of gifts
Planned gifts from members are essential to our museums’
ability to flourish. R. D. Erwin, a retired Ft. Worth businessman,
joined the Foundation as a member in 1968. He
created a planned gift that established an acquisition fund
at the New Mexico Museum of Art and beqeathed works
of art to the collection from New Mexican artists, including
the painting below. Let your love for the museums translate
into a gift that will impact the lives of New Mexicans for
generations to come.

Legacy Society Members
as of January 1, 2012
