Beyond another exceptional slate of exhibitions and programs and a record nineteenth consecutive deficit-free year, in 2004 we also made significant strides forward with our Master Planning process, a major undertaking to build on our position as one of Canada's premier visual arts institutions. We are blessed not only with one of the finest locations any gallery could have, but with residence in one of British Columbia's most charming historic buildings. The “Take the Gallery to Court” campaign in the early 1980s culminated in Arthur Erickson's $20-million renovation to our courthouse complex, creating a unique home for the visual arts that has welcomed more than four million visitors, including some 400,000 schoolchildren, since the Gallery opened in 1983. However, since that time there have been virtually no major capital improvements to our facility. Aging and antiquated systems, seismic deficiencies and a serious shortage of space threaten our future viability. It is clear that we must act, decisively. We are faced with three basic options: to operate within our current facility, which is increasingly constraining our ability to meet the ever-growing needs of the public; to renovate and expand in, around, under or above our present space in the block bounded by Robson, Hornby, Georgia and Howe Streets (known as Block 51); or to consider a move to a new location. Our primary energies have been directed toward renovating and expanding within Block 51. After an exhaustive international competition, we selected Michael Maltzan Architecture of Los Angeles, 3 working with Henriquez Partners of Vancouver, to assist us in a review of various Block 51 options. Concurrently, the Board is reviewing potential opportunities and costs at other sites in the downtown area. Our preferred outcome, clearly, is to stay where we are. Our central location and the charm of the historic courthouse buildings offer advantages that would be nearly impossible to duplicate elsewhere. As the Master Planning process goes on, we are continuing to consult with and seek the advice of our various stakeholders, neighbours and other interested parties. In the coming months, as our studies and evaluations come to a conclusion, we look forward to sharing information and working with all those who have an interest in ensuring the continued success of this great institution. As always, I offer my profound gratitude and appreciation to the donors, sponsors, volunteers and Gallery staff who work so hard on behalf of the Gallery. In particular I wish to recognize the exemplary leadership of Gallery Director Kathleen Bartels. It is a distinct pleasure to be associated with each of you, and I salute your contributions on behalf of the Board of Trustees. I also extend my personal thanks to my colleagues on the Board. As the Gallery continues its planning to prepare for the exciting opportunities of the decades to come, your work to ensure we chart the right course continues to be invaluable. It is a privilege to work with you all. George Killy MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Each year as we look back on the Gallery's accomplishments and our work within the community, I'm struck by the amazing —and continually expanding—confluence of international art influences in Vancouver. It is remarkable to realize that perhaps no other city our size in the world is more cosmopolitan in its creative energies and support for the visual arts. Artists, collectors, commercial gallery owners, patrons and donors, the academic community—all have poured their passion into Vancouver's astonishingly prolific and inspired history of art making. For nearly three-quarters of a century, the Gallery has played a privileged role in this pursuit of excellence. 2004 was another landmark year in our progress as an institution, marked by exciting collaborations and a determined commitment to explore visual art and its impact, far beyond conventional notions. Our 2004 program showcased the power of art to link north and south, east and west, and to link the past with the present and future. International eclecticism shone in exhibitions such as The Divine Comedy: Francisco Goya, Buster Keaton, William Kentridge and the wonderful survey Baja to Vancouver: The West Coast and Contemporary Art, a partnership between the Gallery and institutions in San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle. Massive Change: The Future of Global Design examined the possibilities and challenges of the future in dramatically thought-provoking ways, and drew enthusiastic crowds of highly engaged visitors to the Gallery-including many first-timers. The Massive Change: Visionaries symposium, hosted by the renowned commentator Charlie Rose and the Massive Change curator and famed designer Bruce Mau, further explored notions of design and its transformative effect on people and environments all over the world. Organized by the Gallery, Massive Change is now embarked on a major international tour that includes Toronto and up to five venues in the United States, Europe and Japan, and that will ultimately reach as many as one million visitors. The Gallery's collection was highlighted in the presentation of some 800 objects generously donated in 2003 by two Vancouver art world luminaries, J. Ron and Jacqueline Longstaffe, as well as in The Shadow of Production, a compelling companion piece to Massive Change. The past year also included another milestone acquisition for the Gallery: 463 outstanding historical, modern and contemporary photographs meticulously assembled over three decades by the Vancouver collectors Claudia Beck and Andrew Gruft. Through such generosity, the Gallery now holds one of the most important public collections of photography in North America. The year 2004 was a particularly powerful step forward in our continuing effort to connect audience with ideas and-always-to offer up a fascinating, enjoyable, stimulating experience. At the heart of everything we do are the exceptionally talented artists who consistently engage, challenge and delight through their work. The Gallery extends deep gratitude to them and to our many supporters for inspiring, sustaining and sharing such a wonderful ongoing journey. Kathleen S.

Black comedy, absurdity and satire are threads that connect the work of these disparate figures and serve as filters through which each expresses his relationship to a tumultuous world. The exhibition investigated the shifting connections between aesthetics, politics and humour through Goya's late eighteenth-century etchings, Keaton's silent films of the 1920s, and Kentridge's recent animated drawings, prints and sculptures. EXHIBITIONS 10 Installation view of The Divine Comedy 11 TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS Alex Colville, Infantry near Nijmegen Holland, 1946, Canadian War Museum, Beaverbrook War Art Collection CANVAS OF WAR: Masterpieces from the Canadian War Museum February 21 – May 16, 2004 Organized and circulated by the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Museum of Civilization with the generous support of the Donner Canadian impact of war on the daily lives of those who served during these wars and lived through them. The works reach beyond merely illustrating military experience and provide a unique history of Canadian painting. Foundation Artists: Eric Aldwinckle, Cyril Barraud, Alfred Bastien, Aba Bayefsky, Curated by Laura Brandon, Curator, Canadian War Museum Harold Beament, William Beatty, Bruno Bobak, Molly Lamb Bobak, Miller Brittain, Leonard Brooks, Albert Cloutier, Alex Colville, Charles Comfort, This exhibition demonstrated the importance of Canada's war art programs in representing the country's major contributions during the first and second world wars, which shaped Canadian social, political and personal identity for generations to come. The exhibition presented a wide range of perspectives on military conflict and traced the history of Canada's involvement in the two world wars. Rather than the heroic commemoration usually associated with official representations of battle, many of these works show the Patrick Cowley-Brown, Maurice Cullen, Frederick Etchells, Orville Fisher, Kenneth Forbes, Colin Gill, Paul Goranson, Lawren P. Harris, Edwin Holgate, E.J. Hughes, Robert Hyndman, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Eric Kennington, Tony Law, Arthur Lismer, Manly MacDonald, T.R.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS 12 Installation view of Robert Arndt’s Lines for the Next Exhibition NEXT: Robert Arndt February 21 – May 16, 2004 NEXT : Robert Arndt is the third exhibition presented in NEXT: a series on emerging artists from the Pacific Rim Curated by Melanie O'Brian, Assistant Curator, Vancouver Art Gallery (currently Director/Curator, Artspeak Gallery, Vancouver) 13 The Vancouver Art Gallery commissioned a new work by Robert Arndt for the NEXT series, investigating the gallery as a type of theatre within which art events are “staged.” Arndt’s installation consisted of a projected film and accompanying photographic documents that centred on the re-presentation of lines from Elia Kazan’s 1954 film On the Waterfront, which starred Marlon Brando, to reflect a moment between regret and realization. Arndt’s reference to this famous cinematic moment alludes to the failures of a character and to the history of conceptual and performance art. Since graduating from Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in 1998, Arndt has exhibited his work locally, nationally and internationally. TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS A MODERN LIFE: Art and Design in British Columbia 1945-1960 Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery Vancouver Art Gallery in 1949. Thus, A Modern Life recalled an exciting historical moment when creators and exhibitions successfully straddled the fields of fine and applied arts. Curated by Ian Thom, Senior Curator, Historical, Vancouver Art Gallery, and Artists/Designers: Fred Amess, Françoise André, Sybil Andrews, Peter Alan C. Elder, Curator of Canadian Crafts, Decorative Arts and Design at Aspell, Alistair Bell, B.C.

Consisting of two sections relating to Geometric Abstraction and Organic Form, the exhibition drew extensively from the painting collections of the Gallery and also included a number of works of design borrowed from private and public collections. In its installation, this exhibit referred to several important exhibitions organized in the late 1940s and 50s that cultivated ideas of modernity as an integral aspect of everyday life, including Design for Living held at the TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS Lilias Farley, Orville Fisher, Herbert Gilbert, Jack Hardman, Lawren Harris, E.J.

Partial funding for the tour provided by the Peter Norton Family Foundation and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Canada Curated by Daina Augaitis, Chief Curator/Associate Director, Vancouver four West Coast institutions and examined work made during the last four years by thirty-three emerging and established artists. This region, from Baja California, Mexico, to Vancouver, Canada, is internationally recognized as an important locus of artistic production, home to many artists, artistic communities and art schools. The art in Baja to Vancouver not only embodied a range of West Coast sensibilities, it offered revealing portraits of the people and places on the western rim of North America and presented evidence that the West Coast is a unique cultural region.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS ANDY WARHOL: Prints and Drawings from the Warhol Museum June 5 – September 6, 2004 Organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and The Andy Warhol Museum, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh Curated by Daina Augaitis, Chief Curator/Associate Director; Ian Thom, Senior Curator, Historical, Vancouver Art Gallery; and the staff of The Andy Warhol Museum TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS Andy Warhol is without doubt the most famous American artist of the twentieth century, and his work reflects on the artificiality of popular culture, especially its preoccupation with celebrity and consumerism. This exhibition featured more than 200 works on paper, from rarely seen early drawings to iconic prints of Chairman Mao, Marilyn Monroe and Liz Taylor, and offered a look at Warhol’s transformation from commercial illustrator to Pop artist. While Warhol changed the way we look at everyday life, he also challenged preconceived notions about the nature of art and the role of the artist. His work continues to offer a contemporary commentary on our obsession with stardom and the marketplace. A significant number of works in the exhibition were taken from the Gallery’s permanent collection. 18 Installation view of Andy Warhol: Prints and Drawings from the Warhol Museum 19 TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS MASSIVE CHANGE: The Future of Global Design October 2, 2004 – January 3, 2005 Project by Bruce Mau Design and the Institute without Boundaries, commissioned and organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery Massive Change: The Future of Global Design was a groundbreaking exhibition that described design as a form of philosophical inquiry and investigated its capacity, power and promise. The exhibition took a radical look at how rapidly evolving technologies have created the potential for design to effect change on a global scale and how this has placed us at the beginning of a new, unprecedented period of human possibility. The exhibition translated the ideas communicated by Bruce Mau’s compelling new design manifesto into provocative and immersive modules: urbanization, information, the image, movement, manufacturing, energy, materials, markets, the military, wealth and politics, and even life itself. It used objects, sound, video, still photography, computer and satellite images, interactive technology and three-dimensional constructs over two floors of the Gallery to explore the global impact of design. The Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition was part of a larger constellation of projects, including an international tour, a Phaidon Press publication, an international speakers’ series, a website and a radio series.

Hughes, Robert Indiana, Gershon This exhibition highlighted the significant gifts to the Gallery that J. Ron and Jacqueline Longstaffe made over the past three decades. Starting in 1978, Mr. Longstaffe donated more than 800 works to the Gallery, valued at over $5 million. The donation has profoundly influenced the content and size of the Gallery’s permanent collection, especially in modern and contemporary Canadian art, as well as American and European graphics. The collection is particularly significant in that it places BC artists in a national and international context, revealing the similarities and differences in approaches to modern ideas that prevailed over the second half of the twentieth century, notably abstraction and Pop Art.

Eyes of Laura is a web-based project by the artist Janet Cardiff, born in Canada and now living in Berlin. This experimental work is based on a complex real-time narrative that unfolds over the period of a year on the grounds of the Gallery. At the centre of the project is a security camera installed on the Gallery's roof. In Cardiff’s fictional narrative, a security guard secretly shares access to this camera through a private/unofficial web site, which can be accessed by online visitors through a web interface. As it blurs private/public space and virtual/real experience, the project confronts the complex influence of technology on the imagination. Senior Curator, Historical; Cheryl Meszaros, Head of Public Programs, Vancouver Art Gallery In order to address the full spectrum of Emily Carr’s career and her impact on the art world, this long-term installation presents the breadth and depth of the most significant aspects of the artist’s practice. Through an examination of the themes of art, place and culture, the exhibition provides a multi-layered investigation into Carr’s primary significance as an instigator of West Coast modernism. Viewers can see who Emily Carr was, how her career developed and what legacy she left behind, as well as understanding her profound relationship to the land.

Artists represented in the exhibition included early twentieth-century figures who celebrated the value of labour in their depictions of resource extraction, evincing an almost mystical optimism about the dynamism of modern life. This confidence in technological progress was countered by contemporary works that highlight the dystopian aspect of industrialization, use standard industrial materials, address issues of gender in relation to production, or engage with money—the fuel of production.

Photos: Dave Roels For Public Programs at the Gallery, it was both a year of fabulous “firsts” and a year in which the Gallery's relationships with its many diverse communities grew and deepened. The most acclaimed event of the year in Public Programs was Massive Change: Visionaries. An evening keynote address by the grandfather of futurism, Alvin Toffler, was followed by a day-long public dialogue in which some of the greatest thinkers and practitioners of our time engaged in stimulating conversation on topics ranging from environmental sustainability to the possibilities of moving the North American military machine into the service of world peace. Working with ten speakers, moderators Bruce Mau and PBS talk show host Charlie Rose constructed a provocative and entertaining day of conversation for an audience of more than 1,000 people at the Vogue Theatre. The new International Lecture series was also launched in the fall of 2004, with a lecture by celebrated artist Diana Thater, who spoke on issues of nature, technology and embodiment in her work. The annual Heller Lecture was delivered by Thomas PUBLIC PROGRAMS Sokolowski, Director of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. Reesa Greenberg, Peter Plagens and Molly Lamb Bobak were among the Gallery's many prestigious guest speakers this year. A powerful new Teen Initiative was launched in conjunction with the Massive Change exhibition. The Gallery worked with our Teachers' Advisory Committee and various partners, including Pacific Cinémathèque, to develop a two-day symposium for 100 secondary students from four schools in the Lower Mainland. A month after their first visit, students returned to the Gallery to present their responses to the issues addressed by Massive Change, which ranged from films to mixed-media work. supersunday, the Gallery's monthly family day, celebrated its ninth birthday in October with hands-on activities based on exhibitions on all four floors of the Gallery. Highlights for the year included a performance inspired by Baja to Vancouver with the Vancouver Youth Theatre and MainDance's performance about Massive Change. 44 Evening keynote address by Alvin Toffler The Gallery continued to nurture its many-faceted relationships with children and families by offering a kidstop and family guide for Canvas of War and Andy Warhol. Massive Change was accompanied by the launch of the first audio guide ideapad for kids. Our relationships with teaching communities and the thousands of students they nurture into maturity continued to grow throughout 2004. The third annual week-long Teacher Institute held in conjunction with UBC’s Department of Curriculum Studies was bursting with teachers who became excited about art. The Professional Days offered to individual schools increased in both number and rigour. Record-breaking numbers of new Canadians used the English as a Second Language tours, and the tours and workshops for schoolaged children were once again booked to capacity throughout the year. Partnerships and collaborations are integral to the Gallery’s ability to offer a variety of programs. 45 Bill Buxton, Esther Dyson and Bruce Mau during Massive Change Visionaries. Photo: Dave Roels HIGHLIGHTS of 2004 include: • Subversive Laughter: a symposium on art, comedy and politics produced in collaboration with the UBC Institute for European Studies. • 3rd Annual Canadian Art Vancouver Gallery Hop: a day that celebrates contemporary art in Vancouver's galleries and kicks off each year with a panel discussion at the Vancouver Art Gallery. • Under Exposure: New Music from the Western Front: a series that offers Gallery visitors the opportunity to experience new music and meet some of Vancouver's music innovators. The ever-popular Animateurs continued to enlighten and engage the public with their warm and friendly manner and their informative, entertaining and, at times, provocative daily talks in the galleries. The exciting and rewarding work of Public Programs would not be possible without the dedication of nearly twenty full-time and part-time staff and more than 120 volunteers, who plan, prepare and deliver the programs to the public.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Association's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 51 In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Association as at December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. As required by the Society Act (British Columbia), we report that, in our opinion, these principles have been applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

F I N A N C I A L S TAT E M E N T S 54 VANCOUVER ART GALLERY ASSOCIATION NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Purpose of the Organization: The Vancouver Art Gallery Association (the “Association”) is a not-for-profit organization incorporated in April 1931 under the Society Act (British Columbia). Its objectives are to establish and maintain an art gallery for the perpetual benefit of the City of Vancouver and its citizens. It is a registered Canadian charity for Canadian income tax purposes.

Capital assets: Capital assets are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the asset. The useful lives of assets are as follows: ASSET 2. Significant accounting policies: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include the determination of the useful lives for amortization of capital assets and the net realizable value of inventories. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Outlined below are those policies considered significant: (a) Fund accounting: These financial statements include the undernoted funds which are segregated for purposes of carrying on specific activities as described below. (i) The General Fund reflects the results of general operations of the Association. (ii) The Acquisition Fund was established with bequests from donors and receives income earned by The Vancouver Art Gallery Endowment Fund for Acquisitions of Art administered by the Vancouver Foundation (note 3). (iii) The Life Benefactor Endowment Fund was initially established during 1989 and the income from the Fund is intended to finance special projects as determined by the Board of Trustees in consultation with the Life Benefactors. (iv) The Vancouver Arts Stabilization Team Fund was established from restricted contributions received from the Gerald and Sheahan McGavin Capital Grant to the Arts (note 7). (b) Basis of accounting: (i) Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with terms to maturity of three months or less at the date of inception. (ii) Prepaid expenses: Prepaid expenses are comprised primarily of exhibition expenditures that have been paid by the Association and relate to exhibitions to be held the following year. Prepaid expenses also include insurance costs paid during the year, which relate to the following year. (iii) Inventories: Inventories are comprised primarily of books, jewellery, paper products, gifts, reproductions and clothing held for sale in the Gallery Store and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. (iv) Revenue recognition: The Association follows the deferral method of accounting for contributions which include donations, bequests and government grants. Under this method of accounting, revenue received which relates to a future period is deferred and recognized in that subsequent period. Endowment contributions are recorded as direct increases in net assets. Exhibition loan fees are recognized as revenue when received, except for the portion relating to a future period which is deferred and recognized in that subsequent period. Unrestricted contributions are recognized as revenue when received or receivable. Pledged amounts are recorded as revenue when the amount to be received can be reasonably estimated, typically when signed pledge forms are received, and ultimate collection is reasonably 55 RATE Computers Equipment Furniture and building fixtures Vehicles 3 - 5 years 3 - 10 years 5 - 25 years 5 years The Association is responsible for the management of these assets and enjoys beneficial ownership thereof.

(vii) Employee future benefits: The Association accrues its obligations under employee benefit plans and the related costs as the underlying services are provided. (viii) Collection (see note 11): Additions to the collection are charged as an expense of the Acquisition Fund in the year of acquisition. (ix) Donated works of art, materials and services: The Association receives donated works of art, materials and services, the value of which is not reflected in these financial statements. (c) Comparative figures: Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year. 3.
