History
Bob and Jan Case have always had a curiosity and passion for the arts. This can be traced back to when they were children and traveling to museums on school field trips. Due to Bob traveling for work, the family was always on the road. Luckily from this, Bob and Jan constantly would take their children to museums. One of these museums was the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts. Jan instantly fell in love with the center. She would soon become a docent at the center and she got to witness and talk to many acclaimed artists, like Yvonne Porcella. Jan established youth education programs with local schools to show kids the world of art and how culture plays a role in art. When Jan became Docent Chair for the textile committee, she and her husband created the endowment to influence students about the enriching world and opportunities that are presented in art.
