			“Clearly, theWeisman has been and will continue to be one of our most precious and important social and artistic Minnesota institutions.”— Gary Fink, donor Can a political cartoonist who does Groucho Marx impressions be a serious art collector and visionary philanthropist? As founder of downtown Minneapolis’ Louvre It or Leave It Museum, where he exhibits his eclectic art collection to the public, Gary Fink embodies this whirlwind of wit, wisdom, and goodwill. “No one just decides to be philanthropic,” Fink says. “You have to have passion.” His financial contributions to the Weisman Art Museum illustrate his support of a thriving arts community. He also donates artwork, serves on its advisory board, and consults with museum staff regarding acquisitions. Private giving to the Weisman’s expansion continues the vision begun by renowned architect Frank Gehry in 1993, adding a dynamic space for creative collaboration, a wing with three galleries, and an intimate café. “The Twin Cities has traditional and avant-garde museums,” Fink says. “The Weisman completes the picture.”
