 Planning for the Future: A Legacy at Pacific
Asia Museum
Throughout the
1970s and 80s,
Katharine Audrey
Webb (known to her
friends as Audrey)
was a familiar figure
at the Pacific Asia
Museum, serving
as a volunteer and
a valued advisor.
Audrey was also a consistent and generous
donor who, in addition to supporting the
annual fund, contributed prized works of
art to the collection and the grand piano
that to this day continues to be used for
performances in the auditorium. She also
had the practical foresight to contribute
generously toward the purchase of the
parking lot just north of the museum,
realizing that the property would become
one of the museum’s most important assets.
Senior Curator Emeritus David Kamansky
recalls her as a friend who was “frank,
humorous, devout and unpretentious. She
acted upon her principles.”
Audrey was dedicated to Pacific Asia
Museum and other organizations that
involved education, the arts and programs
for children. In her later years, she established
the Katharine Audrey Webb Foundation
to ensure the causes she cherished
would continue to benefit from her
support after her death. Since her passing
in 1993 the Foundation has provided
funding to many institutions, including
substantial support for the outreach and
education programs at the museum.
Pacific Asia Museum is proud to be a beneficiary of this extraordinary
woman’s legacy.
Heritage Society
Like Audrey Webb, the members of
the Heritage Society are dedicated to
the museum’s mission of furthering
intercultural understanding through
the arts and perpetuating the arts of
Asia and the Pacific Islands. They have
demonstrated this through significant
gifts to the museum’s endowment
fund or by including the museum as a
beneficiary of their estate planning.
The museum’s Development Department
can provide you with more information
on planned giving and how it may
benefit you, your heirs, and the charities
of your choice. Please call David Spiro
at 626-449-2742 ext. 28. Your financial
advisor or attorney can help you choose
the right plan for you and your family.

Invitation to Join an Arts Council
Pacific
Asia Museum’s Arts Councils are a great
way to get involved with the museum and to
contribute to the community. The members of the
Arts Councils share an interest in the arts, cultures,
and peoples of Asia and the Pacific Islands. The
councils take trips to interesting places in and
around Los Angeles, organize cultural programs
at Pacific Asia Museum, and provide invaluable
volunteer support and resources for special
events.
For example, Japanese Arts Council is now
assisting the curatorial staff with the Festival of
Japanese Art & Style, and has been involved in
planning the month-long series of events.
Membership in one of the museum’s Arts Councils
is just $25. You must also be a member of
Pacific Asia Museum to join an Arts Council.
There are eight active councils: Chinese, Japanese,
Pakistan, Himalayan, Korean, Philippine,
Myanmar, and Thai.
Call the membership office today at ext. 37 to
learn more about becoming a member of one of
these essential Arts Councils!
