Joy and Matthew Lin
Joy and Matthew Lin, longtime residents of San Marino, provided a gift of $3 million for the Flowery Brush Studio, a complex of two buildings for the display of Chinese art. The Studio, to be built along the north flank of the garden, will feature a permanent collection of scholar’s rocks, calligraphy, and furniture; an adjacent building will allow The Huntington to display special exhibitions of contemporary works. Matthew Lin was the first Chinese American mayor of San Marino, serving as mayor and a member of the City Council from 2001-09.
