The Isamu Noguchi Foundation and Garden Museum is pleased to establish the Hiroko Murase Memorial Fund for Education Programs. In honor of the Museum’s late trustee, the fund has been created through the generous support of Hiroko’s family, friends, and colleagues. A member of the Board of Trustees since 2016, Hiroko was proud of the Museum’s work to create accessible and equitable opportunities for visitors of all ages and abilities as they make personally meaningful connections between art, artmaking, and their daily lives.

The Hiroko Murase Memorial Fund will support the Museum’s education programs, many of which are offered free of charge to ensure their accessibility to participants from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, including those who might otherwise have limited opportunities to engage with the arts.
