Member Spotlight

Bram and Sandy Dijkstra, Patron's Circle

" We are huge fans of The San Diego Museum of Art, which is, after all, our hometown museum.As art lovers, we became involved decades ago, which is why we can truly appreciate it's evolution over the past five years under Derrick’s direction, as well as the terrific staff he assembled and the creative re-installations they’ve done.

Support for one’s museum comes in many forms, each of which is important, and we hope to be offering ours for many years to come."
