From the Director
“...the Montclair Art Museum is the sum of those who
work together here to serve, reach out, and enrich
the town, the region, the nation, and the world.”
W
ith many loans from the collection, traveling
exhibitions, scholarly research, the LeBrun Library, and an
improved web site, www.montclairartmuseum.org, the
Museum reaches across the nation and the world. Even a
small, focused exhibition, The Unseen Cindy Sherman: Early
Transformations 1975-1976 had major success and significant
implications for MAM. The show’s succinct and revelatory
catalogue, glamorous and crowded opening, numerous and
excellent media responses and second venue in Buffalo, New
York, where, as a college student, Sherman had devised and
initiated the aesthetic strategies that have reshaped photography and contemporary artistic practice, brought new audiences, appreciation, and patronage to MAM. The range and
quality of MAM’s exhibitions, education programs, and
other activities in its expanded facility create potent partnerships of art and education, like a selective view of Indian
Space painting and a Native American Powwow Family Day
and the artist Bill Wegman speaking during the Edward
Weston exhibit.
T
he year’s first major show was Jan Matulka: The Global
Modernist, a retrospective of the work of a deeply respected
yet still under appreciated Czech-American artist. Grace
Glueck, writing in The New York Times, said, “his work has a
vibrancy that will not let it go unseen” and this show, coorganized by MAM continues on its national tour through
June 2006. The superior caliber of the spring exhibition,
Edward Weston: A Legacy, generated some of the most lavish
praise the Museum has received in recent years, as Benjamin
Genocchio of The New York Times stated that “Without exaggeration he is to photography, you might say, as Picasso is to
modern art: a rare, absurdly gifted artist who was also
immensely influential.” The Weston show’s rhapsodic
images of the American West and our opportunity to
include from the Museum’s own collection, Po’ch Ladies, the
William Edmondson sculpture beside an image made by
Weston of the sculptor in his outdoor studio space, made
both Weston’s and Edmondson’s art alive and pertinent in an
unforgettable way.
——
T
he integration of art and education is the core of museum practice. Building that audience from young people on
up has been key to the Museum’s increased vibrancy in its
new facility. The monthly MAM Park Bench sessions have
now become a part of MAM, and they bring very young visitors with their parents and caregivers to the Museum for art,
art making, and camaraderie. With the success and adaptable
model of the MAM’s and Montclair Public School’s ArtLink
program for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students, school visitation from school districts in many communities has markedly increased. The Superintendent of Montclair Public
Schools, Dr. Frank Alvarez said of this collaboration of the
ArtLink program, “The arts need to be an integral part of
any comprehensive education program… [This] partnership…speaks to the importance of utilizing community
resources and to a genuine commitment to the arts.” MAM’s
Education Department provides pre-visit and post-visit
materials and curriculum guides as well as a strong corps of
docents to serve school groups and adult groups as well.
Through MSU/MAM Art Talks, we reach college and graduate students. MAM’s well-respected off-site special needs
programs are particularly meaningful. Through the Yard
School’s growing number of classes and a very successful and
creative SummerART camp the Museum continues to serve
the full spectrum of students, from the young to the retired,
with the expanded SummerART making a formerly subdued
time of year a boisterous season.
U
nderlying all of the activity of art museums is the selection of the art that is collected and put on view. Acquisitions
constantly remake the collection and its overall capacity to
reflect American and Native American art. Each addition
also inevitably repositions the works that are already owned;
new acquisitions may be a second piece by an artist in the
collection, his or her earliest or latest example, the work that
explains the other one or ten pieces that it joins, or the
missing link among an array of comparable art. In recent
years we have become more attuned to the interconnection
of our American and Native American holdings, the emergence of photography as a major medium of artistic expression, and a special emphasis on collecting and displaying art
by African Americans.
W
ith new patronage and energy, much more contemporary art has been entering the collection. Many previously
unrepresented artists joined the collection for the first time
in a set of recent prints. The purchases of a richly enigmatic
photo-narrative by the esteemed contemporary artist and
teacher Gregory Crewdson, Fred Wilson’s tiny painted porcelain Puppet and Alfred Jensen diagram The Substance Out of
Which the Universe is Made vigorously resumed the
Museum’s continuing commitment to use proceeds of its
acquisition endowments to build its holding of both contemporary and older art. A new initiative to collect the works
on paper by the internationally esteemed artist Alfred Jensen,
who spent his final eleven years in nearby Glen Ridge, began
with five prints and a major diagram drawn and painted in
oil on paperboard. Historical acquisitions were made with
the addition of eight works on paper to the Museum’s voluminous Morgan Russell Archive and Collection, donated in
1985 by Caldwell resident and collector Henry Reed.
Research continues on the Museum’s Russell holding funded
by the Henry Luce Foundation, and several Russell works on
paper were conserved for free by the Conservation Center of
the Institute of Fine Arts, New York. Among many generous
donors of art, we offer special appreciation to the members
of the Collectors Forum for their ongoing acquisition support, which enabled the purchases of Sandy Skoglund’s A
Breeze at Work and part of Fred Wilson’s Old Salem: A
Family of Strangers. A full listing of acquisitions and their
donors can be found in this report on page 27 and 28.
A
ll of this activity exists within the mission and leadership provided by the Museum’s Board under the leadership
of Chairman Robert Constable and President William H.
Turner III. They worked closely with the Executive
Committee and the rest of the Board to provide the vision,
service, and generosity that sustain the institution. As the fiscal year drew to a close, three key Board members rotated off
the Board after years of valuable service, Sandra Carter,
whose leadership of recent Galas and the Trusteeship
Committee have been key to their success, Marjorie Rich
who has been an active member of several Board
Committees and provided vital support and insight on the
Art Committee, and Curt Schade who served in many capacities and gave support and time to MAM. At the end of the
year covered by this report, Robert Constable was elected
President and Mort David became Chairman. All have been
among the Museum’s most generous and committed Board
members and were key to the success of the Capital
Campaign, which Bill Turner so ably chaired.
T
he year also ended with the opening of the New Jersey
Fine Arts Annual: Place of Mind with its compelling theme
of capturing the essence of an experience of New Jersey and
the fresh perspective of freelance curator Beth Venn,
formerly a curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art
and now the Newark Museum’s contemporary curator.
With the beaming countenance of Montclair’s NJ State
Senator Nia Gill, New Jersey Fine Arts Annual’s opening
brought the state’s Governor and nearby neighbor Richard
J. Codey and Senator John Corzine to MAM. We learned
over the summer that our State funding augmented with a
special added appropriation reached an all-time high.
Fiscal 2005 was a very successful year that will allow Fiscal
2006 to be even better.
O
verall this Annual Report conveys special thanks to the
Board, the Staff, and the many donors and contributors who
are listed in this publication; the Montclair Art Museum is
the sum of those who work together here to serve, reach out,
and enrich the town, the region, the nation, and the world.

From the Chairman
“Actual works of art, seen closely, in full color, actual size
and in the context of other works is what the Montclair Art
Museum offers and what is implied in the Montclair Art
Museum’s slogan, Face to Face with the American Spirit”
I
n the pages of this annual report you will experience the
Montclair Art Museum at a distance, several steps removed
from direct engagement with works of art. Actual works of
art, seen closely, in full color, actual size and in the context of
other works is what the Montclair Art Museum offers and
what is implied in the Montclair Art Museum’s slogan, Face
to Face with the American Spirit. What many visitors to the
Museum have told us is that the intimacy of our galleries
provides a much valued, unhurried experience unlike many
urban museums.
W
e hope that you will take the time to get an impression
of the Montclair Art Museum in these pages. If you have
never visited the Museum, we hope that you will want to see
our exhibitions close up, to participate in our programs,
attend a lecture, take an art class. If you are among our many
generous supporters and members, we thank you for making
possible everything that we have described within these
pages. An annual report can only provide a snapshot in time.
We hope that you will be intrigued by this brief visual presentation of this past year and look to our web site for information about what is coming up in the future.

caregivers in Imagination Station, and Family Days. MAM
programs served children, teens and adults through innovative courses in our Yard School of Art. Lifelong learning
opportunities are offered through adult lectures including
Art in the Afternoon and a new program called A Closer Look.
In this fiscal year we established an innovative SummerART
camp for children that was a huge success. In the last fiscal
year, the Montclair Art Museum presented 11 changing exhibitions, offered more than 500 gallery tours, 125 art classes,
19 outreach programs, 25 lectures, 72 children’s workshops,
four family day programs, five community programs, and
eight teacher workshops. Each of these programs is described
in more detail in this report.
I
t is not the numbers of programs that we offer or the
number of people we serve that most impresses me, however. It is the opportunity we offer each person to engage with
art in a meaningful way. We offer you an opportunity to
come face to face with the American spirit. We hope that you
will accept our invitation.

From the President
“As supporters of this Museum you can take pride
in the consistent and conscientious efforts
that we have made to ensure the secure and stable
financial condition of this institution.”
I
n the pages of this annual report for 2004-2005, you can
almost hear the members of the Montclair Art Museum’s
Board of Trustees and staff exhale. As supporters of this
Museum you can take pride in the consistent and conscientious efforts that we have made to ensure the secure and stable financial condition of this institution.
I
n the previous five years, and particularly after September
11, 2001, the stock market decline led to a diminished
endowment. At the same time, the costs of operating a larger building went up. Through careful spending, a reduced
draw from our endowment, and increases in individual and
foundation giving, we are in a very good place. We have
begun to address some delayed facilities projects and we are
engaged in a Strategic Planning process that allows us, in
fact encourages us, to look forward to even more engaging
exhibitions and programs than the outstanding ones
described in this report.
fact that the Montclair Art Museum matters, art matters,
and art education matters and we are meeting the need for
quality experiences and engagement with artists, art work,
and art making.
W
e won’t rest on our achievements of the past year. We
thank you for helping us to reach this point in our history
and count on your continued support as we begin our centennial decade.

computer-scanned images of beads strung
together and juxtaposed against colorful
scarves. They provided conceptual word
play in combination with a selection of the
humorous necklaces themselves, which were
also on display. This exhibition was curated
by Gail Stavitsky, Chief Curator.
Support for Naomi Savage: Word Play
was provided by Exhibition Angels Judy and
Josh Weston, Suzanne and Jeffrey Citron,
Bobbi Brown and Steven Plofker, and an
anonymous donor.

Devorah Sperber’s wall-covering, abstract
installation united the Museum’s two primary collection areas by using MAM’s iconic Edward Hopper painting, Coast Guard
Station, 1929. Sperber transformed the
composition by interconnecting Hopper’s
work with abstract images of seemingly
Native American textile motifs and
Surrealist, quasi-landscaped vistas. The
exhibition was curated by Patterson Sims.
Quartered, Flipped and Rotated was
made possible by support of Exhibition Angels
Judy and Josh Weston, Suzanne and Jeffrey
Citron, Bobbi Brown and Steven D. Plofker,
and an anonymous donor. Devorah Sperber’s
work is represented by McKenzie Fine Arts.
Robert Barry: Diptych, Window-Wallpiece
for the Montclair Art Museum
June 18, 2005 – February 5, 2006
International conceptual artist Robert
Barry, of Teaneck, was commissioned by the
Museum to create a site-specific installation
based on the manipulation of words. The
installation incorporated large colored
words, placed at random within the formal
grid design of the architecture. The installation was organized by Gail Stavitsky, Chief
Curator.
This installation was supported by a
Projects Serving Artists grant from the New
Jersey Council on the Arts/Department of
State, a Partner Agency of the National
Endowment of the Arts. Additional support
was provided by Exhibition Angels Judy and
Josh Weston, Suzanne and Jeffrey Citron,
Bobbi Brown and Steven D. Plofker, and an
anonymous donor.

Mac Adams: East West Buddha
June 18, 2005 – September 11, 2005
Mac Adams’ sculptural work, part of the NJ
Fine Arts Annual, was intended to raise
questions about the interrelationships of
objects in a particular location. The sculpture created shadows of a Buddha figure at
different times of the day, the crucial element to the piece revolved around the
movement of light and shadow of a particular place.

ducation at the Montclair Art Museum
encompasses a broad offering of services in
addition to the programs described on the previous page. The Yard School of Art offers a
year-round program of art instruction for children, teens, and adults and an innovative summer camp. School tour programs include
hands-on art projects and/or writing and
sketching. Teacher training and other resources
for educators are also provided.
In Fall 2004, the Education Department
developed a comprehensive Programs and
Classes brochure. Initially begun as a redesign
of the Art School brochure, the publication has
expanded to describe the range of education
programs offered and to provide another
means of reaching the Museum’s audiences.
Here are some highlights.
Public Programs
The Family Day: Powwow, held in September
attracted more than 600 visitors and is
now an annual component of the Education
Department’s four annual Family Day
programs. MAM Park Bench, a new monthly
program for toddlers and their parents or caregivers had peak attendance in March and April
with more than 110 participants each month.
A story time component has been added to
Park Bench in collaboration with the Montclair
Public Library and it has been warmly
embraced by the participants and will continue
into next fiscal year. This program was initiated
by the Volunteer Council has been a huge success in bringing in new families and members.
MSU/MAM Art Talks
This thought provoking and engaging contemporary art series features internationally
regarded artists, curators, art historians and
critics. This series, a collaboration between the
Master of Fine Arts degree program of
Montclair State University and the Montclair
Art Museum, was developed three years ago
out of the Museum’s desire to build a college
age audience and to work more collaboratively
with the local state university. This year the
series continued with a slide lecture by photographer William Wegman. With more than 330
people in attendance, it was the best-attended
artist lecture in MAM history. A very timely
lecture by recent Pulitzer Prize winner Mark
Stevens the co-author of the recent biography
De Kooning An American Master was also
presented in this series.
Art In Bloom Family Day
Professional Involvement with the Field
This past year, Gary Schneider, Director of
Education, was invited by the Noyes Museum
to lead an all day teacher workshop for 25
southern New Jersey arts educators. The
workshop introduced various curriculum
approaches employed by Montclair Art
Museum in connection with our Native
American collection, and adapted and demonstrated how teacher could use those methods
to link their curricula to the Noyes Museum’s
exhibition Icons, Symbols and Altars: Exploring
Spirituality in the Arts.
Gary Schneider, was also invited to copresent at the Emerging Scholarship in Urban
Education Conference at City University of
New York Graduate Center. With Joelle Tutella,
an instructor at Montclair High School and
Montclair High School students Jake Stalman
and Amina Sutton, Schneider described the
Museum’s 2004 collaboration with the
Montclair High School Center for Social Justice
that was funded by the Montclair Fund for
Educational Excellence. The program addressing racial identity and racism included slide
lectures on artwork that related to the subject,
a tour of the Museum and the construction of
a monument addressing the theme of race.

Museum Studies Program with Montclair
Cooperative School
MAM became an integral part of the Montclair
Cooperative Schools 7th grade program this
past year. Students visited the Museum on a
regular basis and observed exhibition installations, met and discussed the installation of
Devorah Sperber’s installation with MAM
Director Patterson Sims, and developed wall
labels that were included in the Edward Weston
exhibition. Students also became Docents-inTraining and guided 2nd and 3rd grade classes
from their school on tours of the Museum.
Growth in Services to High School Students
The cultivation and development of relationships with regional high schools including East
Orange, Bloomfield, Montclair and Clifton,
and the creation of new tour options for this
age group including a writing and sketching
activity, have resulted in growth in the number
of high school group visits to the Museum to
enhance student instruction in both art and
general academic classes.
Professional Education for Area Educators
The Museum is a recognized provider of New
Jersey Department of Education professional
development training. The Education staff
organizes teacher orientations and curriculum
workshops for New Jersey teachers, provides
Art teaches nothing, except the significance of life.
The majority of teachers report taking
advantage of the pre- and post-visit
activities developed specifically for this
program.
The Museum’s Education
Department is strengthening relationships with Montclair School District
administrators, principals and teachers.
In addition to the Artlink program that
provides elementary school arts enrichment, MAM has been working with
educators in Montclair’s middle schools
and high school to develop new partnerships and sustained collaborations. The
Montclair School District conducted its
administrative retreat at the Museum
this summer. It included gallery tours
and hands-on art activities for teachers
and principals. Holding the meeting at
the Museum, and inviting the participation of the Museum’s Education staff,
increased understanding among the participants about the Museum’s role as an
informal learning environment where
original art works can be used as primary source materials for the study of several different subjects.
teaching and curriculum development
materials keyed to the state’s Core
Curriculum Standards, and aids for
using the Museum’s Permanent
Collection to complement the academic curriculum in many subjects.
Outreach to Teachers:
Look.Learn.Discuss
The Museum developed a new postcard
that also functions as a teaching aid, to
encourage more teachers to schedule
visits to the Museum. The card, which
was mailed to more than 1,500 teachers
in North Jersey in the fall of 2004, features George Inness’s Early Autumn,
Montclair, 1888. A series of questions
appear on the card as a suggestion to
teachers to use to engage students to
see and understand a work of art.
Educators’ Evening
Family Interaction and Engagement
An interactive magnet board with which
visitors could arrange and rearrange the
segmented components of Devorah Sperber’s
imagery, student labels in the Edward Weston
exhibition, and a Family Guide for Art in
Bloom are a few of the ways the Education
Department has added interactive and interpretive components to exhibitions in order to
engage young people and families.
Programs for Adults with Disabilities
PHOTO: ELEANOR SCHLOSSER
Instituted this academic year the
Education Department hosted two preview evenings providing 140 regional
educators with an introduction to
Museum’s Permanent Collection, special exhibitions and education programs.
These programs were very well received and
are now ongoing.
Curriculum Packets and Thematic Tours
With the expansion of the Museum, and the
dedicated exhibition space for the Museum’s
Permanent Collection, the Education
Department is afforded the opportunity to
develop thematic tours and supplemental
learning materials based on works that will be
on view for an extended period of time.
Teachers can return year after year to see works
that they can relate to the curriculum. Tour
themes vary from year to year and address all
areas of the Museum’s Permanent Collection
and special exhibitions. Curriculum packets are
created for each exhibition.

Collaborating with Montclair Public Schools
Funded by a three-year New Jersey State
Council on the Arts - Arts Education Special
Initiative Grant, and with support from the
Montclair Board of Education, the The Artlink
Program is making great strides in successfully
attracting and serving elementary school students and teachers from Montclair Public
Schools, a group that prior to this grant rarely
took advantage of the Museum’s programs.
Now in its third year, this program has served
more than 1,450 second, third, and fourth
grade students and their teachers, and offered
58 tours, with 500 of these students also receiving a classroom pre-visit by MAM educators.

Project ReachOut, a program for disabled
adults provided year-round, weekly art workshops to developmentally and neurologically
impaired adults at the North West Essex
Community Healthcare Network and the First
Cerebral Palsy Center of Essex. The program
facilitates access to quality visual arts instruction designed to meet the physical, cognitive
and emotional needs of this population.
Project ReachOut was developed by Museum
educator Eleanor Schlosser, who is the instructor. Last year, 250 classes were offered serving
more than 5,000 clients at these centers.
Since Fall 2002, the Museum has worked
with a client from Opportunity Projects, an
organization providing vocational and professional training opportunities for adults with
brain injuries. MAM’s Opportunity Projects
volunteer comes to the Museum weekly to
research exhibitions and the Museum’s
Permanent Collection, and he has led three
guided tours for fellow clients and staff from
Opportunity Projects. He has also begun offering tours to similar organizations for adults
with development disabilities, and has returned
to college to complete a degree in art history.

FY05 was a busy year at The Yard
School with 131 classes offered for
children, teens and adults and 1175
students attending. Several new programs were developed by the director
of the Yard School, Carol Cohn.
First and foremost was the
change in the structure of the summer program at the Museum.
Renamed SummerART, the program
was expanded from 4 weeks to 6
weeks. The children’s program was
recast with two-week themed offerings in a full-day art camp to meet
the needs of working parents. All
projects were coordinated with the
instructors to reflect the theme culminating in three bi-weekly exhibits of
the children’s work in Leir Hall and in
the Art School Aracde, A Gift of
William and Judith Turner. The exhiA child in MAM Park Bench.
bitions gave parents the opportunity
to see the work and have a greater understanding of the
educational benefits of the program. Part of the program
included an Edible Art class, created by the director and
taking place in the Museum’s pantry, in which innovative
three-dimensional edible art works were created. The
teen program also grew in both size and scope, providing
a more academic approach to art making throughout the
six-week session. Enrollment in the teen program was
almost three times the number of students in a typical
Art School semester. Summer adult programs were
moved from August to weekly evening classes.
The result was the conversion of the summer session from the lowest attended and least revenue-producing semester in the Art School, to a six-week semester
equal in success to the ten-week sessions offered in the
other seasons. It also enabled the Museum to expand its
geographic participation with students, especially children, coming from further suburbs to participate in a
longer day program.
Secondly, the enrollment process through the website was addressed. As Internet penetration in households
has continued to increase, so has the Museum’s need to
keep pace. The Art School worked with the
Communications Department to provide a smoother and
more efficient enrollment process and by year end almost
80% of all Art school enrollments were coming in
through the website.
New programs were introduced this year including
Portraits of Andy Warhol created in SummerART.
Figurative Sculpture for adults and Connections to
Native America and Funky Sculpture for children. Our
staff additions enabled us to offer, once again, Life
Drawing classes as well as Cartooning classes.

The Volunteer Council
The Montclair Art Museum is very fortunate to have the assistance of the many volunteers listed below whose talent and dedication assist every department within the
Museum. In its 39th year, the Volunteer Council Board continued to serve as the governing body of MAM volunteers and hosted three events that honored MAM volunteers for their service. Chef Kimiko Spodafora spoke on the art of entertaining, a lecture on The Life and Work of George Inness was presented by art historian Adrienne
Baxter Bell, and at the annual spring meeting, author Benilde Little spoke about the
creative process. In addition, the following volunteers were recognized for outstanding volunteer service in 2004-2005: Brenda Bingham, Lynn Glasser, Judy Hinds,
Bettye King, Laurie Kroll, and Adelaide Palmer. We salute and thank our volunteers
for their continued support and commitment to the Montclair Art Museum.

The ongoing assessment, care, and
treatment of works in the Museum’s
Permanent Collection are inherent in
its mission. Vigilant preservation and
protection of the collection is conducted under the supervision of MAM’s
Curatorial staff, and ensures that
future generations will enjoy these
works and share in our nation’s diverse
artistic and cultural heritage.
Among the projects undertaken in
fiscal 2005 were improvements made
to the Morgan Russell Archives and
Collection under a one-year project
funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.
Seven works on paper by Morgan
Russell were conserved, gratis, by the
prestigious Conservation Center of the
Institute of Fine Arts, New York
University. These drawings were chosen for treatment by Chief Curator
Gail Stavitsky and Project Director
Gregory Galligan due to their capacity
to shed new light on the artist’s working methods.
Of special note among the group,
which comprised portraiture, Roman
classical themes, and a working sketch
for Russell’s seminal Synchromy in
Orange: To Form, 1914, were several
pencil sketches to which Russell had
pinned portions of over-drawing in
order to “correct” his figurative composition—in one case therein pushing
a Roman bathing scene closer to the
realm of ancient sarcophagus relief
sculpture. The once “secret” logic of
Russell’s working method has been
coaxed out of historical eclipse by an
especially inventive conservation treatment: after the rusted 1930s tailor’s
pins were carefully removed from the
drawing, the detached scraps of paper
were hinged to its surface so that
future observers might fully appreciate
the drawing’s various incarnations by
simply shifting his/her angle of observation.
In 2006, visitors to the Museum may
be able to view an example of such a
“corrected” drawing as part of the
Morgan Russell exhibition of works on
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
paper guest-curated by Galligan in celebration of the completion of this historic project.

The Value of Art Museums
A
rt museums are uniquely responsible for serving and educating the
public through direct encounters with works of art.
The Montclair Art Museum strives to:
• Provide broad public access to original works of art;
• Generate scholarship and communicate knowledge
about works of art;
• Inspire curiosity, discovery, and understanding
about works of art and the artists who make them,
and people, places, ideas, beliefs, and cultures both
familiar and distant;
• Foster critical thinking, flexibility of mind, and
respect for diverse points of view;
• Collect, preserve and present a legacy of artistic
excellence for current and future generations;
• Provide a place for contemplation, gathering, and
interaction for people from all walks of life;
• Convey ideas, experiences, and feelings that can’t be
adequately described by words alone; and
• Foster a sense of wonder.

Mission and Diversity
Statement
T
he Montclair Art Museum collects, preserves, and presents American
and Native American art. Its innovative exhibitions and educational programs interpret and explore relationships between these two evolving artistic
traditions. The Museum's exhibitions offer groundbreaking scholarship,
fresh thematic approaches, first-time presentations of under-recognized
artists, examinations of little-known aspects of major artists' careers, and an
ongoing commitment to the artists and culture of New Jersey. Sharing its
distinguished collections, specialized expertise, and unique resources such as
its Le Brun Library and Yard School of Art, the Museum collaborates with
numerous cultural and community partners to inspire creativity and a
deeper understanding of America's unique diversity.
–Adopted by the Board of Trustees April 7, 2004
T
he Montclair Art Museum is committed to being an inclusive and
diverse organization that respects and welcomes individual differences
among people in order to offer the most meaningful art experience to the
widest possible audience. We strive to cultivate an environment that fosters
productivity, creativity and individual satisfaction by celebrating such
differences as race, gender, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, and
physical abilities. –Adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1999
