To start, total commitments to our Capital Campaign passed the $40 million mark. These funds enabled us to put in place dedicated endowments to sustain our “free to all” admission policy and to provide support for changing exhibitions. And thanks to the Campaign, three of our four curators now hold endowed positions. In November 2011 we celebrated the much-anticipated opening of our new Perry Glass Studio. This addition at long last makes the Chrysler not just a place for the display and study of glass, but for its creation as well. Through educational partnerships, a varied program of daily demonstrations and classes, and particularly through an exciting Visiting Artist Series, the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio has become one of the hottest attractions in Southeastern Virginia—and already is building an international reputation for quality and innovation. Then in June 2012 we broke ground on a $24 million expansion and renovation of our Museum building. This will provide us with much-needed new gallery space, improved accessibility and circulation, and completely new food service facilities. This ambitious project also will enable us to upgrade our lighting system and to install new energy-efficient environmental controls. As all of this was happening, the Chrysler attracted a near-record number of visitors though an active program of special exhibitions, educational programs, and special events. Exhibition highlights included Our Community Collects, a splendid show of works from regional private collections, the family-friendly Curious George Saves the Day, a beautiful, focused show of work by Mark Rothko, and a massive fingerprinted landscape created on-site before the public by Judith Braun. The year concluded with 30 Americans, a remarkable and wildly popular selection of work by some of the most exciting African-American artists working today. Along the way we welcomed a new Deputy Director, Education Director, and Curator of American Art. Each has brought us wonderful fresh energy and vision. We expanded our collection with additions ranging from glass by Lino Tagliapietra and Dale Chihuly to contemporary works by Maya Lin, Nam June Paik, and Nick Cave; to paintings by Briton Rivière and William Henry Burr. Our collection works were brought to life through lively interpretive programs for every segment of our audience, culminating with a gala concert by the Virginia Symphony on our front lawn—complete with fireworks shot from the roof of the Museum. I hope you will enjoy browsing through the pages that follow and reliving some of your favorite moments from what has truly been a banner year. William J.

As usual, the Museum received many loan requests to borrow masterpieces from the collection. Before allowing these works to travel to exhibitions at home and abroad, our conservation team consolidated, cleaned, and restored several paintings. Among them were George Bellows’ Emma at the Piano, Bonifazio dé Pitati’s Lot and His Daughters, and Red Grooms’ Fireman. Reinstallation of our McKinnon Galleries of Modern Art brought a number of objects out of storage and into the conservation laboratory for examination and treatment. Examples of paintings recently cleaned and put on view include Theodoros Stamos’ White Night, and Karel Appel’s Women Admiring Themselves. After decades rolled up in storage, visitors, and longtime Norfolk residents were able to admire a 30-foot-long mural of the city’s waterfront painted in 1965 by Kenneth Harris. In order to show it, the painting needed to be stabilized and mounted onto a new stretcher. In an ongoing effort to engage and inform the public about the importance of preservation, another conservation treatment was carried out in view of the public in our galleries by Chrysler Conservator Mark Lewis and our National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, Amelia Jensen. This year’s project was restoration on the early-17th-century Venetian painting The Finding of Moses by Jacopo Palma. School groups and visitors of all ages had the opportunity to watch our conservators work and to ask questions about the process of restoration. In all, they helped guests learn more about why and how museums study, analyze, and preserve their collections. 12 CONSERVATION Painting Restorations n Jacopo Palma, The Finding of Moses (in-gallery restoration project, still underway) n Edouard Vuillard, Mme.

New additions to the Chrysler Collection include hallmark paintings by European artist Briton Rivière and American artist William Henry Burr. We also added prized selections in modern and contemporary art, including new media works by Nam June Paik and Liliana Porter and a sculpture by Nick Cave—all of which were popular favorites in our Remix Redux exhibition. The Museum also received a generous gift of 19 contemporary photographs by American photographer Danny Lyon. Nick Cave, Soundsuit John Henry, Homage to Man Ray Adding to the breadth of the Chrysler Collection in glass were single works by Dale Chihuly and Harvey Littleton, and two works by pioneer glass artist Lino Tagliapietra. Tagliapietra created these pieces onsite at the new Chrysler Museum Glass Studio, as he participated in the Studio’s inaugural Visiting Artist demonstration. The Museum was able to purchase these beautiful works through the generosity of our supporters. This year’s gift to the Museum from the Mowbray Arch Society was a wooden sculpture by acclaimed American artist Maya Lin.

Highlights included the Chrysler’s dazzling salute to area private collectors, Our Community Collects, and the mammoth 30 Americans, which celebrated the extraordinary creativity of the nation’s most prominent and promising contemporary AfricanAmerican artists. Focus exhibitions included an ambitious sequence of contemporary shows, from Mark Rothko: Perceptions of Being, the nostalgic Colorama, and Judith Braun’s intriguing hands-on installation Diamond Dust to a pair of handsome shows highlighting the work of the first four artists visiting the Museum’s newly opened Glass Studio: Benjamin Moore, Dante Marioni, Janusz Poźniak, and Debora Moore. The Museum’s McKinnon Galleries of Modern Art also served as the stage for remix, which reshuffled and represented the Chrysler’s contemporary collection in new and provocative ways. With creative new curators—including Brock Curator of American Art Alex Mann—now on board, we look forward to even more exciting and groundbreaking exhibitions in the future. 30 Americans: Masterpieces of African-American Art from the Rubell Family Collection, Miami 19 EXHIBITIONS n Cameo Performances: Masterpieces of Cameo Glass from the Chrysler’s Collection Ongoing since June 2008 in the Decorative Arts Gallery Highlighting the skills of master carvers and their sources of inspiration, cameo glass steals the spotlight in this show drawn from the Museum’s renowned glass collection. Exploring the history of cameo glass carving beginning with ancient Roman examples, this exhibition focuses on the popular resurgence of the technique in England during the late 19th century. n Portraying a Nation: American Portrait Photography, 1850–2010 August 25, 2010–September 11, 2011 in the Alice R. and Sol B. Frank Photography Galleries From the rise of the daguerreotype in the 1840s to the digital imagery of today, photography has played a crucial role in capturing and defining who we are as Americans. Drawn from the Chrysler’s extensive photography collection, Portraying a Nation presented more than 100 portraits by American photographers. Four thematic sections—“Friends and Family,” “I Am What I Do,” “My Message is My Meaning,” and “Joiners and Loners”—celebrated the vitality and diversity of all those who define themselves as Americans. n Contrast: Interactive Work by Daniel Rozin October 20, 2010–September 18, 2011 in the Alice R. and Sol B. Frank Photography Galleries Recent advances in digital technology enable artists to create works that not only incorporate change and movement, but that also respond to viewers in real time. Through the use of video projection and sophisticated computer programs, these artists allow visitors to actually become a part of the work of art—physically and psychologically. As part of our continuing series of small, focused exhibitions of contemporary art, the Chrysler presented a provocative—and wildly popular—group of interactive installations by Daniel Rozin. n An Eye for Architecture: The Etchings of John Taylor Arms November 3, 2010–July 24, 2011 in the Kaufman Theatre Lobby The etcher John Taylor Arms ranked among the most renowned printmakers in early 20th-century America. A born architectural draftsman, Arms built his reputation with sensitively rendered images of the great cathedrals and picturesque buildings of Europe, as well as the Gothic-inspired edifices of New York City. This exhibition was drawn from the Chrysler’s own extensive holdings of Arms prints, donated in the mid-1950s by his widow, Dorothy Noyes Arms. n American Masterpieces from the Batten Collection January 26–July 31, 2011 in the Prints and Drawings Gallery In addition to his extraordinary success as a businessman, civic leader, and philanthropist, the late Frank Batten, Sr. was also a distinguished art collector. Thanks to the generosity of Jane Batten, nine works from the Batten Collection were placed on long-term loan as promised gifts to the Chrysler. We proudly presented these American masterpieces by Winslow Homer, Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Hart Benton, William Glackens, and Edward Redfield, and others in a special second-floor installation. 20 EXHIBITIONS n Curious George Saves the Day: The Art of Margret and H.A. Rey April 27–September 18, 2011 in the McKinnon Galleries of Modern Art n The Civil War: Visual Perspectives, Then and Now April 1–July 24, 2011 in the Waitzer Community Gallery Commemorating the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, this selection of photographs, paintings, sculpture, and prints recorded and reflected on different aspects of the War and its meaning for 19th-century and contemporary Americans. The works ranged from period battlefield photographs to paintings of the famed ironclads in the Battle of Hampton Roads to contemporary photos of War re-enactors and a group of challenging prints by Kara Walker. Many of the works in the exhibition were drawn from the Chrysler’s own extraordinary holdings of Civil War images. n Al Capp, Li’l Abner, and American Pop Art April 27–September 18, 2012 in the McKinnon Galleries of Modern Art Al Capp’s Li’l Abner was a mainstay of the comics section between 1934 and 1977. At its peak, more than 90 million readers followed the exploits of its dashingly handsome, yet unintelligent, protagonist and his friends in the imaginary rural town of Dogpatch, Kentucky. In the mid-1970s, Capp segued into the realm of fine art, producing paintings and prints modeled on his comics. These 10 prints from the Chrysler Collection—never before exhibited—explored the links between Capp and American Pop art. n Into the Mainstream: Self-Taught Artists from the Garbisch and Gordon Collections August 13–December 31, 2011 in the Prints and Drawings Gallery This exhibition paired Old Dominion University’s Baron and Ellin Gordon Collection of contemporary art by self-taught artists with the Chrysler’s 19th-century work in the same tradition, as collected by Walter Chrysler, Jr.’s, sister and her husband, Bernice and Edgar Garbisch. Folk art and work by self-taught artists are often marginalized as less than fine art. By critically exploring the work of crossover artists who have gained academic or art world recognition, student curators from the latest introduction to the Museum class helped to prove otherwise. Everyone knows Curious George, but few know the story behind his stories. Our keynote special exhibition of the summer recounted the hair-raising tale of how H.A. and Margret Rey, the German Jewish creators of the mischievous monkey, fled Nazi Europe for the safety of the United States. Viewers discover how Curious George’s ability to narrowly evade danger paralleled his creators’ war-time escapes and which elements of their arduous journey through France, Spain, Portugal, and Brazil appeared in their books. An interactive touch screen and nearly 80 original drawings, book mock-ups, personal photographs, and documents told the true story behind the Reys’ bestselling fiction for children and one of the world’s favorite characters. 21 EXHIBITIONS n Portraits of a City: Views of Norfolk by Kenneth Harris August 24, 2011–January 29, 2012 in the Kaufman Theatre Lobby and the Waitzer Community Gallery n Our Community Collects: From Dürer to Warhol and Beyond September 17–December 31, 2011 in the Norfolk Southern Changing Galleries It had been nearly two decades since the Chrysler presented an exhibition of works of art gathered from regional private collections. Since then, the range, depth, and quality of works privately held in Hampton Roads had advanced exponentially, as the extraordinary works in this exhibition attested. Featuring more than 100 works of art from nearly 40 collections, From Dürer to Warhol was a celebration of the artistic riches in our midst. It ranged from Old Master European paintings and prints and American modernist paintings to remarkable examples of historic and contemporary American and European glass. This local exhibition of international treasures was made possible through the generous sponsorship of Signature Financial Management. Visitors rediscovered Norfolk’s past through the eyes of Kenneth Harris, the city’s favorite urban landscape painter of the last century. A selection of 30 of his beautifully crafted watercolors from the Chrysler Collection provided a nostalgic backward glance at Norfolk in the 1950s. And a monumental oil mural, a loan from Marion and James Baylor to the City of Norfolk, showed the sweeping vista of its waterfront business district in the 1960s. Together, they depicted not only the city’s best-loved landmarks—the old Norfolk Academy, the Moses Myers House, St. Paul’s Church—but its downtown, docks, and coal yards—the city’s commercial and industrial heart. Both aesthetic triumphs and invaluable historical documents, these Portraits of a City captured both the look and the feel of Norfolk at mid-20th-century before urban renewal projects swept the old port city. n Mark Rothko: Perceptions of Being September 28, 2011–January 22, 2012 in Gallery 112-A off Huber Court The Chrysler’s own No. 5 (Untitled), 1949, served as the centerpiece of this focused exhibition of work by the great New York school artist. The five paintings on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.—each a gift of the Mark Rothko Foundation—showed the evolution of the modernist’s work from the early-1940s to the mid-1960s. The show coincided with Virginia Stage Company’s fall production of Red, John Logan’s Tony-winning play about the artist and his angst. 22 EXHIBITIONS nColorama October 15–December 31, 2011 in the Alice R. and Sol B. Frank Photography Galleries The Chrysler highlighted the glory of Kodak color as never before in this amazing array of 36 panoramic prints shot by some of America’s best commercial and artistic photographers. Promoted as “the world’s largest photographs,” 565 of these 18’ x 60’ illuminated illustrations adorned New York’s Grand Central Terminal from 1950 to 1990. With both technical and marketing brilliance, Coloramas extolled American ideals and encouraged amateur photography as an essential element of family life, travel, and leisure. What started as advertising still proves to be art (even at one-twelfth their original size) in this nostalgic exhibition organized by the George Eastman House, the international museum of photography and film. nremix November 2, 2011–February 12, 2012 in the McKinnon Galleries of Modern Art The Chrysler shook up the –isms of art history in this thought-provoking exhibition of our contemporary art collection. Visitors explored the art of the past few decades—90 never- or rarely exhibited works from the Chrysler’s incredible vaults, with a handful of contemporary classics regularly on view—through six thematic groupings that traverse time. Sections on identity, narrative, self-reflection, mediation, history, and inversing reality connected a diverse range of artists and works, and showed their parallel engagements with society, culture, and the visual arts. A selection of works from this popular show remained on view into the summer. n The South in Black and White: Photographs by Baldwin Lee February 8–August 26, 2012 in the Alice R. and Sol B. Frank Photography Galleries From 1983–1989 photographer Baldwin Lee traveled through African-American communities in the South capturing images of extraordinary places and people. Working with a large-format view camera in the tradition of his teachers, Walker Evans and Minor White, Lee created works of great form, beauty, and subtlety that reveal a deep feeling for his subjects and their life stories. Lee has an unusual ability to discover people of remarkable presence and spirit in unlikely places. The Chrysler displayed a selection of Lee’s favorite and best prints to the delight of guests. 23 EXHIBITIONS n Finalists from the Hampton Roads Student Gallery February 10–March 4, 2012 in Huber Court The Hampton Roads Student Gallery returned for a 39th year thanks to a community-wide effort to continue this longstanding tradition for high school artists in 11th and 12th grades. Joining the Chrysler Museum and the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia as sponsors were the d’Art Center, The Selden Arcade, and the Chrysler Museum’s Docent Council. n Diamond Dust: An Installation by Judith Braun Created February 11–18, 2012, on view through December 31, 2012 in the Waitzer Community Gallery Fingerpainting took on a whole new sophistication and scale in the hands of Judith Braun. By dipping her hands in pulverized charcoal the New York artist transformed white walls into a lush abstract landscape inspired by Hampton Roads. Art students from Old Dominion University assisted Braun with her most extensive sitespecific project to date. And just as carbon under pressure becomes a diamond, so Braun’s first live installation performance produced another masterwork at the Chrysler. n Cities of Light: Photographs from the Chrysler Collection February 15–October 21, 2012 in the Kaufman Theatre Lobby The energy and vitality of the modern city, with its distinctive architecture and way of life, have long fascinated photographers, from Germaine Krull and Ilse Bing to Jun Shiraoka and Abelardo Morell. This focused, first-floor exhibition explored the urban metropolis as a source of poetic and visual inspiration for photographers across generations and continents. 24 EXHIBITIONS n 30 Americans March 15–July 15, 2012 in the Norfolk Southern Changing Galleries and throughout the Museum The work of emerging and established AfricanAmerican artists combined into a superb survey of some of the most significant art of the past three decades in our Spring 2012 keynote exhibition at the Chrysler. The show’s 75 works—some gritty and provocative, others subtle and sophisticated—were drawn from the extensive Rubell Family Collection in Miami. The paintings, sculpture, photographs, videos, collages, and installations covered hotbutton topics and universal emotions, controversial explorations of the past and visionary approaches to the future. Among the 31 artists represented were Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kehinde Wiley, Nina Chanel Abney, Barkley Hendricks, Kara Walker, and Robert Colescott, whose bright, satirical art work was an enormous influence on the generations that followed. 30 Americans took over entire galleries throughout the Museum, making it the largest exhibition the Chrysler had ever featured—and one of the most popular. Admission was free, thanks to the underwriting of a wide variety of individual donors and local businesses. 25 EXHIBITIONS AT THE HISTORIC HOUSES n Moses Myers, Maritime Merchant Ongoing at the Moses Myers House Supported by a generous gift from T. Parker Host, this permanent exhibition, recently expanded, explores the business of maritime commerce through the life of Moses Myers. n Barton Myers: Norfolk Visionary The Glass Studio Visiting Artist Series 2012 marked two very important occasions. It commemorated the 50th anniversary of the birth of the American Studio Glass movement—a movement that continues to blossom and grow into the 21st century. It also marked the Museum’s inaugural year of programming in our new state-of-the-art Glass Studio, which opened in November 2011. To celebrate, the Chrysler presented a year-long series of exhibitions and live demonstrations featuring internationally known artists who have worked in glass over the past five decades. Guests witnessed the magical connection between the artworks on display and the process that brings them to life. This special exhibition and demo series were made possible by the generous support of an anonymous foundation, Delta, The Norfolk Consortium, and the Business Exhibition Council of the Chrysler Museum of Art. n Benjamin Moore, Dante Marioni, Janusz Poźniak Worked in the Glass Studio from February 29–March 4 Exhibited in the Museum’s Gallery 220 from January 27–March 18 n Debora Moore Worked in the Glass Studio from April 25–29 Exhibited in the Museum’s Gallery 220 from April 25–June 10 Ongoing at the Moses Myers House Mayor Barton Myers transformed his city from a prosperous coastal town into a thriving modern metropolis. Thanks to a generous gift from T. Parker Host, the Moses Myers House honors this “first citizen of Norfolk” with a display of objects and images highlighting his extraordinary life. n Standing on the Precipice of Change: Race, Slavery, and the Civil War in Hampton Roads January 14, 2011–December 31, 2011 at the Norfolk History Museum at the Willoughby-Baylor House This exhibit by Norfolk State University for the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission detailed the impact this devastating war had on the residents of Hampton Roads. Historic images and documents recalled the role of slavery and resistance to it in causing the war, the steps taken toward freedom during the war, and the social challenges of the war’s aftermath. 26 26 Education and Public Programs Education and public programs provide the catalyst for transformative experiences in the Museum and with its collection. Our lectures, tours, concerts, and family activities attract audiences that range from preschoolers to scholars. Our corps of 115 docents, who toured more than 16,000 visitors in 2011–2012, bring our works of art to life in the imaginations of thousands of children and adults. We expand the Museum’s reach to classrooms across the region with online resources and professional development programs for teachers. We inspire performing artists to translate our collection into music and dance and introduce our collection and artistic processes to new audiences. We make the Chrysler our community’s home for the arts and the magnificent opportunities they hold. Anne Corso, Director of Education and Public Programs 27 EDUCATION Here is a selection of the department’s successes for 2011–2012: n Simplified scheduling of school and adult tours with online booking. Teachers now simply complete a web-based reservation form and click to submit. n Put the Museum’s resources at users’ fingertips with the Chrysler Collection Online. This digital catalogue at http://collection.chrysler.org includes more than 35,000 works of art from the Museum’s collections, as well as object labels, high-resolution images, and the opportunity to create your own online art collection or gallery on a theme of your choice. n Guided viewers through the Chrysler Collection with new online resources at www.chrysler.org. Users can explore either specific works of art or particular themes, including American history, civics, and ancient civilizations, using selected works of art. n Cultivated our Performing Arts Partnerships with local and regional organizations. This year, our partners included the Academy of Music, the Feldman Chamber Music Society, Tidewater Classical Guitar Society, Virginia Stage Company, the Virginia Opera, the Virginia Symphony, the Virginia Chorale, the Virginia Arts Festival, and more. n Expanded reach and breadth of the Jean Outland Chrysler Library. This year the Library assisted nearly 4,750 Museum visitors, scholars, and curiosity seekers. It also acquired 2,126 books, auction catalogs, films, and other materials to the collection through purchase or donation, putting the total number of volumes at approximately 116,497. n Continued or expanded our popular programs for children and families. Tickle My Ears, a pre-kindergarten program, saw good attendance at two morning sessions each month. Our monthly Stroller Tours welcomed parents and caregivers, as well as children up to 18 months old, for engaging art conversations. Second-Saturday Family Days, once a yearly event, remained monthly and drew new museum goers to the Chrysler for a fun afternoon. n Extended our nearly decade-long service as a Community Partner with the Girl Scout Council of Colonial Coast. Girl Scouts had the opportunity to earn Try-it Badges by touring the galleries, experiencing programs in the Kaufman Theatre, and creating hands-on projects. n Encouraged art appreciation in young audiences with Summer Friday Films for Children. Our Kaufman Theatre screenings enhanced family members’ understanding of the Museum’s permanent collection, our special exhibitions, and museums in general. The series included contemporary animation and/or classic films with a follow-up art activity. Dickson Librarian Jessica Ritchie 28 EDUCATION n Presented an acclaimed film series and an intriguing book club for adults. On Screen/In Person, a regional touring program, provided screening opportunities for independent American filmmakers. The Library hosted Art and Books every other month, relating the reading selections to Chrysler exhibitions on view and other fascinating topics related to art. n Hosted three Teachers’ Nights. These ongoing programs provided area educators with an evening of gallery talks, resources for their classrooms, and opportunities to network with colleagues at other schools. Each evening was well attended. n Offered creative professional development for educators with the Summer Teacher Institute. Held in July, our second annual program provided 16 Hampton Roads teachers a unique five-day series of workshops to cultivate connections between the Museum’s collection and individual content areas. The attendees’ praise was effusive. n Saw continuing growth of the revitalized Hampton Roads Student Gallery. With ongoing support from the Art Institute of Virginia Beach and leadership from the Chrysler, the event again saw record numbers. More than 500 high-school artists from across Hampton Roads submitted work to be juried. The finalists’ works were exhibited in Huber Court, with submissions shown for several weeks at other area galleries and museums. n Successfully opened the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio in November 2011. This first prong of the Museum’s ongoing Capital Campaign promises to draw new audiences to the Chrysler to watch live glassblowing, learn how our collection masterworks were created, take classes, and enjoy exciting new programs for youth and adults. Finalists from the Hampton Roads Student Gallery 29 EDUCATION: GLASS STUDIO In our first seven months, we are proud to have: n Welcomed international glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra as the inaugural guest artist in our new Perry Glass Studio. Tagliapietra, who exhibited at the Chrysler in 2009’s Art of Glass 2, created two stunning vessels that joined the Museum’s renowned glass collection. On November 2, 2011 the Chrysler Museum of Art realized a longtime dream with the public opening of its own Glass Studio just across the street. The $7.1 million, state-of-the-art facility marked the initial success of the Chrysler’s ongoing Capital Campaign, and became the newest branch of our Department of Education and Public Programs. Underwritten by the generous support of the Patricia and Douglas Perry Foundation and hosts of donors, the new Chrysler Museum Glass Studio features: The Glass Studio complements the Museum’s world-class glass collection by demonstrating how such masterworks are made. Public demonstrations and classes for aspiring and master artists alike couple traditional techniques with experiments and high-touch activities to help patrons appreciate and understand the processes, challenges, and wonder of creating glass. A wide variety of programs help demonstrate that glassmaking is not just the creation of an object, it is an experience. n Five annealing ovens n 7,000-square-feet of hot shop, flameworking, coldworking, and fusing studios, classrooms, and offices in a two-story facility n A full-time staff of three, led by Studio Manager Charlotte Potter n A furnace crucible that holds 560 pounds of molten, clear glass. n Three glory holes n An artful donor board by glass artist Beccy Feather n Display areas for artworks created at the Studio The only one of its kind on the East Coast, the Chrysler’s Glass Studio has become Norfolk’s hottest tourist attraction, drawing new visitors to the Museum and glass lovers from around the world to Hampton Roads to experience the excitement of live glassmaking. n Staged a well-publicized Opening Week of free glass demonstrations ranging from traditional Italian vesselmaking to blowing glass into a 50-gallon oil drum. The week culminated with a ticketed performance at which the Burnt Asphalt Family cooked tasty tidbits using hot glass. n Launched the Visiting Artist Series 2012 to celebrate the opening of our Glass Studio and the 50th anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement. The first two of six series visits featured world-recognized artists Benjamin Moore, Dante Maroni, and Janusz Poźniak, and Debora Moore, and demonstrated the broad spectrum of artistic glassmaking. n Enjoyed regular and strong local, national, and international media coverage, supporting the goal of making the Studio and Hampton Roads a travel destination for glass lovers worldwide. 30 EDUCATION: GLASS STUDIO n Offered hundreds of free noon and weekend glassmaking demonstrations and several special artist projects and performances, to the delight of the public. n Welcomed 18,469 guests in our first seven months and Sneak Peek Week for Members. Free admission to the Studio reinforced the Chrysler’s commitment to reaching out to all of Hampton Roads’ residents, regardless of age, race, economic status, or educational background. n Provided regular free school tours to students from preschools to graduate schools. Adult tours, available at a modest price, also enjoyed solid bookings. n Taught hundreds of classes and try-it sessions in eight glassmaking processes— glassblowing, hot glass casting, kiln casting, flameworking, coldworking, fusing, stained glass, and imagery on glass. Several workshops featured guests artists known for their expertise in glass, including Robert Mickelson, Tim Tate and Christina Bothwell, and CUD, to name a few. n Partnered with Virginia Wesleyan and the Governor’s School for the Arts to offer forcredit classes in glassblowing, video, flameworking, fusing, coldworking, and contemporary art. Classes regularly booked to capacity quickly. n Began an ambitious Assistantship Program to provide young but seasoned glassmakers a volunteer opportunity to teach and hone their glassmaking skills in our Studio. Former assistants have received scholarships, fellowships, and job offers because of the strength of the program. n Championed artistic expression by encouraging our staff to create new works and collaborations in glass and performance. Our Studio Team members created artworks here in Norfolk that appeared in exhibitions in both the United States and Europe. The Studio faculty also teamed with several guest artists and instructors on interpretive, performing arts, and community projects. n Encouraged local economic development with attraction tourism and the creation of two full-time Studio positions and several part-time jobs for glass instructors. n Enhanced Museum Members’ benefits with a special Sneak Peek Week, as well as ongoing discounts on glass classes and Studio Sale purchases. 31 Visitor Services Special Events and AT THE WELCOME DESK AND IN THE GALLERIES Our blue-shirted Gallery Hosts continue to meet with great success as they greet and interact with guests. Since they come from a variety of backgrounds, including art history, music, education, and customer service, they are able to answer questions and engage our visitors in casual conversations about art. Their passion for art and for people has led to very positive feedback, as seen in our astounding Net Promoter Score measuring guests’ satisfaction with their visits to the Museum, our two Historic Houses, and our new Perry Glass Studio. ABOUT OUR VISITORS n 46% of our guests are visiting for the first time. n The average visit is just under two hours. n 23% of our visitors bring children under the age of 12. n More than 50% of our guests live in Norfolk or Virginia Beach. n 89% of all visitors say they will recommend the Chrysler to a friend. 32 VISITOR SERVICES & SPECIAL EVENTS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS The Chrysler has a reputation as an elegant venue for the memorable ceremony or artful evening event With settings such as stunning Huber Court, our world-famous Tiffany Glass Galleries, and the amply equipped Kaufman Theatre, we offer a perfect (or practical) locale for weddings, corporate events, and a variety of performances including music, dance, and theatre. This year at the Museum, Glass Studio, and Historic Houses, we hosted 134 successful events. AT THE MUSEUM SHOP The opening of the Glass Studio inspired many of our most popular items this year—including glass art pieces and works made by our Studio Team. Beyond glass, The Museum Shop featured an exceptional variety of boutiquequality jewelry, stationery, art books, and wonderful children’s items. This year, the Shop’s total sales topped $274,000, with an average guest purchase of $23. Members continued to enjoy special discounts on their purchases at both the gift shop and the Chrysler Café. 33 33 Members and Supporters 2011–12 was an exciting year for Development and Communications department, culminating in the opening of the new Chrysler Museum Glass Studio on November 1, 2011. The Glass Studio is the first phase of a $45 million, three-pronged Capital Campaign that also will expand and update the Museum building and provide additional endowment funds. An extremely successful “quiet phase” of the Campaign generated many substantial gifts from area philanthropists whose support of the Chrysler Museum of Art is vital to completion of this ambitious expansion. As usual, our generous contributors supported the Museum through membership, Annual Fund donations, and exhibition and project sponsorships. The Museum also was awarded numerous grants during the year. Many went toward general operating funds, but others helped underwrite special projects such as transportation for public school tours, Glass Studio equipment, and sponsorship of the Glass Studio Visiting Artists Series. The continuing support of individuals, corporations, foundations, and government agencies enables the Chrysler Museum to serve our community and maintain our position as the cultural cornerstone of Hampton Roads. We are very grateful for each and every gift—and for the exceptional relationships we have with our donors and supporters. 34 Members and supporters C A P I TA L C A M PA I G N Capital Campaign Gifts (as of January 18, 2013) $10,000,000 and Above City of Norfolk $5,000,000 and Above Mr. and Mrs. Macon F.
