For nearly two decades, Dan Bergsvik, a trustee of the Portland Art Museum, and his husband, Don Hastler, have been steadfast Portland Art Museum members and supporters. They've empowered the Museum's programs and exhibitions through their incredible generosity.

To ensure that the Portland Art Museum continues to thrive and remain a cherished community asset long into the future, they have included the Museum in their estate plans. When we asked Don and Dan why they chose the Museum, they replied with a quote from the late Arlene Schnitzer that they think says it best:

"I want to inspire other people and other families to do things for their community. If you don't do it and I don't do it, who's gonna do it? You owe something. You can't just take in the fresh air. You have to be responsible. There's only one way to show it. It's either put up or shut up."
