4FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Variety, we are told, is the spice of life, the mother of enjoyment, the soul of pleasure.
At the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts, we do our very best, year in and year out, to offer a variety of programs and events that help us
live up to our mission: to encourage the creation and appreciation of art.
For the past two years, our exhibitions have challenged and provoked, entertained and amused thousands of visitors young and
old.
Exhibitions such as Masks of Mexico, The Car as Art, Jacob Lawrence and The Tokaido Road each appealed to specific
audiences, to be sure, but each had a broad appeal that transcended its content.
The Figure Revealed, an exhibition of works by 25 contemporary American figurative artists, was curated by the KIA and made its
world debut here in our galleries. The mid-career retrospective Lorna Simpson drew critical and popular acclaim from coast to
coast, including its stop here in Kalamazoo.
Meanwhile, the continued successes of our annual exhibitions of local and regional art – the West Michigan Area Show, the High
School Area Show, Young Artists of Kalamazoo County, even the KIA Art Fair – demonstrate that the visual arts are more vibrant
than ever in our community.
Similarly, our collection has grown with the addition of a great variety of works, from a rare Art Deco icon (The Jazz Bowl) to a
portfolio of prints by Jacob Lawrence to a Chinese bowl from the Song/Jin Dynasty to a gorgeous array of mosaics and vases by
Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The Kirk Newman Art School offers hundreds of classes and workshops to thousands of eager students of all ages and abilities.
A number of new events – Appraisal Day and Ladies’ Night Out, for instance – have taken their place on a KIA calendar already
filled with exciting, informative, interesting things to do and see.
In 2009, the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts celebrates 85 years of service to the community. I am more convinced than ever that this
longevity is a dazzling testament to our community – and to the power of art.
We are grateful to everyone who has taken this journey with us.

4PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
It was my great pleasure to serve as president of the KIA Board of Directors for this two-year period.
The art we enjoyed was thought-provoking, eclectic and often completely unexpected.
The KIA was the only Midwest venue for Lorna Simpson, a provocative exhibition that was every bit as impressive in Kalamazoo
as it was when it was shown at museums in New York and Los Angeles.
The Car as Art filled our galleries with classic automobiles from the United States and Europe, and Jacob Lawrence gave
thousands of visitors the chance to see work from one of our nation’s great African American artists.
Kalamazoo Collects presented a stunning array of international art from local collectors. Also on view in the galleries were
miniature houses, Mexican masks, Asian art from 2,000 years ago to the present day, and a collection of contemporary figure
paintings that had never been seen together before their debut here.
There were parties galore, hundreds of classes, school tours, holiday sales, fashion shows, film festivals, musical performances,
lectures, presentations, demonstrations, art camps, art auctions, art fairs and numerous other events and programs that make this
one of the most vibrant places in the region.
Behind the scenes was just as much activity as you see when you visit.
For years now, the funding landscape has been shifting for museum and other cultural organizations. With these changes come
great challenges, which we were able to meet each step of the way, thanks to some of the boldest cost-containment measures I’ve
seen.
I have especially enjoyed working with the other KIA Board members, with the KIA’s outstanding professional staff, and with KIA
Executive Director Jim Bridenstine, a true visionary who has led this organization for nearly 20 years.
That an organization like the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts can do well even during difficult economic times is a great tribute to
both the KIA and the wonderful community we call home.
Jim often says, with a smile and a wink, that the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts is the “finest visual arts institution between Chicago
and Detroit.”
I believe it unwise to question Jim on this point!

4EXHIBITIONS
Three exhibitions demonstrating the diversity of the KIA’s exhibition
offerings ushered in the 2006-07 fiscal year. Lines of Discovery: 225
Years of American Drawings captured America’s evolution as a nation
through 143 drawings from the Columbus Museum in Georgia.
School children and other visitors explored the mysterious allure of
Mexico’s mask-making traditions in Magic and Intrigue: Masks of
Mexico. More than 130 hand-carved and painted examples from all
regions of Mexico illustrated this vanishing art form that dates to the
pre-Columbian era.
A Parallel World: Small-Scale Houses and Miniatures featured dozens
of meticulously crafted works by internationally known miniature
artists. Among the pieces, drawn from the collection of Francis Light,
were scale reproductions of a German Renaissance house, an adobe
house, and Vincent van Gogh’s yellow house at Arles, France.
In the winter, The Car as Art invited viewers to appreciate the
automobile for its design and aesthetic qualities. This survey from
the 1920s through the 1950s featured more than a dozen classic
cars, including a 1932 Duesenberg, a 1929 Bentley Speed 6, a 1957
Mercedes Roadster and a lemon-yellow 1967 Ferrari 275 GTV4. Also
on view were original illustrations for Chrysler and Ford by illustrator
and Kalamazoo resident Ross Cousins.
The KIA was the only Midwest venue for the nationally touring
exhibition Lorna Simpson. Organized by American Federation of the
Arts, this exhibition provided a comprehensive mid-career review of
the work of this leading contemporary American artist. The survey
began with the large-scale photographs and text works of the 1980s,
which challenged conventional views of gender, identity, culture,
34
history and memory. Simpson’s later, multi-panel photographs
printed on felt and her most recent video works were also part of this
exhibition.
EXHIBITION SCHEDULE
In fall 2007, the KIA highlighted Asian art along two famous roads.
Silk Road to Clipper Ship: Trade, Changing Markets, and East
Asian Ceramics demonstrated the impact of the exchange of goods,
people and ideas on Chinese and Japanese potters. These splendid
examples spanning nearly two thousand years of history were lent by
the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
Lines of Discovery: 225 Years of American Drawings
September 23-December 31
Gus Foster and Ando Hiroshige: The Tokaido Road presented two
journeys, separated by more than a century. Photographer Gus Foster,
armed with a map and a camera, traced the ancient road from Edo
(Tokyo) to Kyoto. Contrasting Foster’s 360-degree photographs with
Hiroshige’s prints revealed both dramatic changes and threads of
continuity through the decades and the miles.
Kalamazoo Collects celebrated the quality and diversity of private
collections in Kalamazoo. Generous loans from more than 50
collections in the Kalamazoo area offered Aboriginal painting,
ancient Chinese ceramics, contemporary prints, photography,
painting, sculpture and many more fascinating treasures. Selections
from the past 10 years of institutional collecting at the KIA
were exhibited simultaneously in Warhol, Chihuly and Others:
Showcasing New KIA Acquisitions.
Three print series formed the core of Jacob Lawrence, loaned
through D.C. Moore Gallery in New York City. The bold and dramatic
narrative depictions of Legend of John Brown, Legend of Genesis
and Toussaint L’Ouverture captivated audiences of adults and
school children.
Numerous other exhibitions featured work by local artists and from
the permanent collection of the KIA.

4ACQUISITIONS
In reflecting upon the breadth and strengths of the KIA’s collection,
a concerted effort was made between 2006 and 2008 to select works
that would enrich our collection holdings. One of the acquisition
highlights from this period is the Egyptian Blue Jazz Bowl with
Flared Rim by Viktor Schreckengost. Originally commissioned by
Eleanor Roosevelt, the bowl captures the nervous energy of New York
nightlife and has become regarded as one of the icons of American Art
Deco.
A generous gift allowed the KIA to purchase the entire series of 22
screenprints of the Legend of John Brown by Jacob Lawrence. The
series was enjoyed by thousands of visitors in 2008 during the Jacob
Lawrence exhibition.
Another gift—a selection of early 20th-century mosaic works by Louis
Comfort Tiffany—greatly enhanced the decorative arts collection at
36
the KIA. Using acquisition funds, the collection was further enhanced
by the purchase of four glass vases by Tiffany. The purchase of a
Chinese Junyao spalshed bowl from the Song/Jin Dynasty (900-1289
CE) is an important addition to our growing Asian art collection.
Several significant paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries have
also come into the collection. Art Students, by Philip Leslie Hale and
Symphony by Robert Goodnough were donated to the KIA. Through
museum acquisition funds, we purchased Sunset by Dwight William
Tryon and Union Army Encampment by Johann Mongels Culverhouse.
In photography, the museum received an important donation of 13
photogravures by Edward Curtis. Taken around 1907, the images
preserve traditional Native American ways of life and dress. Other
photographs acquired include gelatin silver prints by George Platt
Lynes, Charles Moore, Jan Saudek and Marion Post Wolcott.
The new print acquisitions cover a wide range of time periods and
styles. We augmented our collection with several old master prints by
such artists as Albrecht Dürer, Annibale Carracci, Giovanni Battista
Piranesi and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. We also added a late-19thcentury print by Henri Rousseau. The KIA continues to acquire works
by notable African-American artists. Prints and drawings by such
artists as Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence and
Charles White have strengthened the collection holdings. In addition,
we supplemented our contemporary print collection with works by
Chuck Close and Jim Dine.
The collection, used for exhibitions and teaching purposes, is a
significant asset to the museum, the school and the community.
The KIA remains committed to adding new works to its permanent
collection and we are most grateful to those who have contributed to
the acquisition of works of art.

4MUSEUM EDUCATION
Programs like Portfolio Day and the Teen Filmmaker Festival for
teens, Sunday Fundays and the Young Artists of Kalamazoo County
exhibition for family audiences, and ARTbreak for adults remained
the backbone of the KIA’s educational programs. But as financial
challenges in the schools and Kalamazoo community at-large
continued to affect tour and program attendance, Museum Education
sought ways to attract new audiences, particularly preschoolers and
senior citizens.
Museum Education launched Preschool Discovery tours, featuring a
short themed-based tour, storybook and optional art project. Senior
Days (artist demonstrations, lectures and guided tours of special
exhibitions) grew to four programs a year. We also added Appraisal
Day in 2007 which fulfilled two goals: increasing art awareness and
raising funds to support Museum Education programs. Our version of
“Antiques Roadshow” was a highlight of the year.
Both years brought thought-provoking exhibitions. KIA docents and
visitors alike stretched their artistic wings with some non-traditional
exhibitions, including The Car as Art and Parallel Worlds: SmallScale Houses and Miniatures. They traveled the world through art
with Magic and Intrigue: Masks of Mexico, Silk Road to Clipper
Ship: Trade, Changing Markets and East Asian Ceramics as well
as Gus Foster and Ando Hiroshige: The Tokaido Road. American
artists were also celebrated with Lorna Simpson, Jacob
Lawrence and The Figure Revealed: Contemporary American
Figurative Paintings and Drawings. Special educator packets
were developed for the Jacob Lawrence, Lorna Simpson and
Tokaido Road/Silk Road exhibitions.
Other projects included A to Z Art Cards, a series of 26 art
exploration cards that assist young families in looking at the
KIA collection. An upper elementary/middle school version
called Hangin’ Out at the KIA is now also available, and a new
docent class graduated in June 2008.
Community collaborations continued and strengthened over
the past two years. In collaboration with the Kalamazoo Public
Library and KRESA/EFA, Teen Halloween featured a reader’s
theater of Edgar Allen Poe stories, film clips from classic horror
films, a costume contest and dance party. The Teen Filmmaker
Festival added a new partner, Community Access Center, and
the event continues to draw record numbers of entries and
attendees. Another new partner was Fire Gallery who co-hosted
a spoken word event for Lorna Simpson. With our community
partners, Museum Education continues to bring a wide variety
of arts programs to our patrons.
OUTREACH PROGRAMS

4GALLERY SHOP
The KIA Gallery Shop continued
its commitment to providing the
community with excellent customer
service and product selection. Working
with more than 35 local artists, the Gallery Shop provides a retail
outlet for these artists and a resource to the community to support
locally made products. Each product selected for the shop, whether
a simple note card or a beautiful ceramic bowl, reflects the KIA’s
exhibitions and educational mission.
The Gallery Shop held several special events including Art from the
Earth: A Showcase of Local Artists, once again giving local artists
the opportunity to market their work to a larger of section of the
community.
4LIBRARY
2006-07
A variety of groups visited the Library, including KIA art school classes,
preschool tour groups and art teachers. The Library participated in
Kalamazoo Public Library’s TV Turnoff Week in April with “Stories
Unplugged,” a story-telling and music program. The Library
subscribed to AskArt.com and ArtPrice.com, electronic databases
containing artist and art auction information, and upgraded its
computerized catalog system. Nearly 250 new book and video/DVD
titles were added to the library collection through purchase and
donation; 4,402 patrons visited the library, checking out 1,575 items.
2007-08
Twelve groups including KIA art school classes, preschool tour groups,
and teachers visited the Library. The librarian conducted story time
programs following the downtown Holiday Parade Day, and in
conjunction with the exhibition Perspectives on Place in July. A new,
combined Library/Membership card was created and distributed to all
318
KIA members. Research tools, including a list of KIA exhibitions
and a list of artist files, were created and added to the Library
website. Research using electronic resources has increased (AskArt.
com by nearly 100%), and the library now provides a link to
CAMIO (available via the Michigan E-Library), a database of
digital art images. More than 300 book and video/DVD titles were
added to the library collections; 3,827 patrons visited the library,
checking out 1,601 items. The Library offered books along with
prints from vintage books for sale at the Holiday Sale and annual
Library Book Sale at the KIA Art Fair.

4DEVELOPMENT
The Development Department contributed greatly to the KIA’s
success. The efforts of its four-member staff provided vital
support. This support took the form of raising increasing
contributions, maintaining one of the largest membership
bases among Michigan art museums, recruiting and deploying
hundreds of volunteers, and continuing a planned giving
service.
Fundraising
Fundraising activities secured contributions in three areas:
Annual Fund gifts, corporate, government and foundation
grants, and individual gifts.
The Annual Fund campaign brought in record revenues.
During 2006-08, about 1 in 5 KIA members contributed to
Annual Fund campaigns, donating an average of $323 per
contribution. Such generosity, combined with increased
membership, resulted in the most successful Annual Fund
campaign to date. The most dramatic leap occurred in 2006-07,
when contribution revenues increased 22% over the previous
year.
Corporate, government and foundation cash contributions
realized dramatic 120% growth during this two-year period –
322
despite a 38% decrease in annual arts grant support from the
state of Michigan over the same period.
print and broadcast advertising, equipment, printing, parking
and other services.
During 2006-07, revenues from 51 sources totaled about
$610,000. They represented a large increase over 2005-06
revenues, thanks to a major grant from the Irving S. Gilmore
Foundation to fund the KIA’s next biennial major ticketed
exhibition. Other major supporters were Pfizer, National
City (now a part of PNC), Stryker, plus the Irving S. Gilmore
Foundation, the Dorothy U. Dalton Foundation, the Harold
and Grace Upjohn Foundation, and the Michigan Council
for Arts and Cultural Affairs. Additional major grants were
also generously awarded by new KIA supporters, namely the
Santreece Foundation, the Monroe-Brown Foundation, the
Richard & Jane Manoogian Foundation, and the Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts.
Meanwhile, individual contributions also saw increases
that kept pace with those from corporate, government and
foundation supporters. In 2005-06, individuals gave $15,486 as
gifts, sponsorships and special contributions. In 2007-08, they
gave two times that amount.
In 2007-08, 53 corporate, government, and foundation
contributions totaled $418,313. Major supporters were again
Pfizer, National City (now a part of PNC), Stryker, plus
the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation, the Dorothy U. Dalton
Foundation, the Harold and
Grace Upjohn Foundation, and
the Michigan Council for Arts
and Cultural Affairs. New major
support came from Kellogg’s
Corporate Citizenship Fund,
the Diane Robertson Charitable
Foundation, the Michigan
Humanities Council, and the
National Endowment for the
Arts, which awarded its first
grant to the KIA to help fund
the presentation of The Figure
Revealed exhibition in Spring
2008.
Other companies provided noncash contributions that offset
expenses. They took the form of
food for receptions and events,
Most Development Department contributions were secured
through efforts that entailed submitting grant proposals,
sponsorship requests, donation appeals or fundraising events,
which range from hosting dinners to conducting the annual
KIA Art Fair. In 2007-08, the KIA stepped up its fundraising event
efforts. It staged three new events, the most successful of which
was the Ladies Night Out & Fashion Show in March 2008.
Volunteering
The KIA is proud to be supported by a large and active corps
of volunteers. They assist in all facets of our operation,
including reception, mailing, Gallery Shop sales, exhibition
support, museum education, and special-events planning and
production.
More than 30 priority mailers processed some 100,000 pieces of
mail in the last two fiscal years. In the Corporate Art program,
28 volunteers either selected or delivered works of art to more
than 50 businesses. A committee of nine people organized the
popular, six-times-a-year Art & All That Jazz series. Members
of the Hospitality Committee – all of them volunteers – served
food and beverages at a few dozen receptions. Among special
events, the 2006 Art & Antique Auction owed much of its
success to 22 volunteers who planned and executed it, as well
as to the additional 16 volunteers who assisted at the event.
A committee of eight volunteers staged the first Ladies Night
Out & Fashion Show, which attracted a sell-out audience of
more than 300 for a show featuring some 40 volunteer models.
For the 56th and 57th annual KIA Art Fairs, a 25-member
committee recruited and deployed more than 200 volunteers
each year.
Planned giving
Membership in the KIA’s planned giving program, called
The 1924 Society, remained at 41 individuals or households.
Meanwhile, staff members worked to raise awareness to
the society, which is open to anyone who includes the KIA
in his or her estate plan. During the
two fiscal years, it held several events,
including December receptions held
in conjunction with The Car as Art
and Kalamazoo Collects exhibitions.
Articles appeared in Sightlines, a new
planned giving brochure was printed
and distributed, and a board member
survey was conducted to recruit new
members.

4MARKETING & TECHNOLOGY
Marketing & Technology became its own department within the
KIA on September 1, 2007. In addition to managing marketing
and public relations efforts, the department is now responsible
for all technology-related equipment and activities at the KIA.
A new committee, made up of KIA board members and
community representatives, advises the department on both
marketing and technology issues.
A vigorous media relations approach yielded favorable coverage
about KIA programs, people and events in both local and farflung media, including Antique Week, Art Daily, Battle Creek
Enquirer, Chicago Reader, Chicago Tribune, Grand Rapids
Business Journal, Grand Rapids Press, Herald-Palladium,
Holland Sentinel, Japan-America Society, Lansing State
Journal, Michigan Radio, Midwest Living, Nueva Opinión,
Ohio Magazine, South Bend Tribune, Time Out Chicago, U.S.
Auto Scene, WJR Radio, WOOD-TV and WXMI-TV.
The KIA helped identify and market to targeted audiences
for specific programs – for example, the African-American
community for the Lorna Simpson and Jacob Lawrence
exhibitions; the Japanese-American community for Silk Road
and Tokaido Road; the Hispanic community for Mexican
Masks; car aficionados for The Car as Art; and area educators
for Teen Filmmaker Festival and the High School Area Show.
A number of media sponsorships helped keep costs under
control without compromising media reach.
The KIA upgraded its phone system, a project that included
digital service and installation of new handsets throughout the
facility.
The KIA began work on a complete overhaul of its website,
designed to enhance both its visual appeal and functionality.

4FINANCES
The KIA is fortunate to have dedicated volunteers serving on two
committees of the Board. The Finance Committee scrutinizes
the annual budget proposal and recommends to the Board.
Additionally, it reviews actual operating performance relative
to budget throughout the year and reports to the Board. The
Endowment Committee reviews the investment performance
of endowed funds, recommends the annual draw and makes
major policy recommendations to the Board. Jointly the
committees receive the report of audited financial statements
and report the results to the Board.
