In Memory of Major Barry Alan Cave (1947–2025)

Barry Cave loved art from the time he was a boy in Fairfield, Connecticut, sketching and painting long before life took him around the world with the U.S. Army. After more than two decades of service — including a tour in Vietnam — and a retirement filled with family, sports, and good conversation, Barry finally had time to return to what he loved most. He filled his home with oil paintings of lighthouses and landscapes, surrounding himself, as always, with beautiful things.

In his memory, we're asking friends and family to support the Visual Art Institute in Salt Lake City, so that children who could not otherwise afford it can have access to real, hands-on visual art lessons — the same kind of creative spark that shaped so much of Barry's own life.

Every gift, in any amount, helps a child have access to real visual art opportunities, who might not have had the chance otherwise. Thank you for honoring Barry's memory this way.
