ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012
Director’s Annual Report
2011/2012
Thanks to generous gifts by David Fan, Hung Fan, Vicky Black and Frances
MacDonald, we have nearly completed the construction and furnishing of the
Manya Fan Art Education Center. Their gifts will allow us to increase student
capacity by over 25% and provide upgraded access and security for studio art
classes.
Our exhibition season began with a national invitational exhibition, titled Making
it in Crafts, coordinated by Jim Sondgeroth. Under the Oaks on the 8th Fairway,
on September 9, was a very successful fundraising event at the homes of the Moulton’s, the Sputh’s and the
Brand’s. On September 30, we opened Sister Rufinia and her Students, with nearly 50 works loaned by
friends of the Art Museum. At the same time, in the McDonald Gallery we exhibited favorite works from
our Permanent Collection, selected by twenty-two community leaders in The Community Curates.
Beatrice and Kendall Smith
Partnering with WBAA on a tour to Southern Indiana Treasures, we treated 24 travelers to Architectural
and Art surprises in Columbus, Nashville and Bloomington November 4, and 5. On December 14 we held
a private champagne event to meet the “Curators” of the Community Curates exhibit for our members and
donors who gave $250 or more during the year.
January kicked off with an outstanding collection of Indiana Regionalist works loaned by Bob and Ellie
Haan titled Indiana Realities and in the McDonald Gallery, we exhibited objects from the collection of the
Purdue University Black Cultural Center in Trading Spaces. Several works from our collection, created
by African American artists, were simultaneously displayed at the BCC. On February 10 the 4th annual
Heart of Art wine tasting event, held at the Lafayette Country Club, was sold out and raised a record net
income of over $51,000 in support of Art Museum programs. In addition, bidders donated $3,800 to kick
off our campaign to create an Education Endowment at the Community Foundation, with their 25% giftmatching program.
March 31 brought the Art League’s major fundraiser, Celebration of Color luncheon and style show, to the
Best Western, thanks to co-chairs Inge Maresh and Stephanie Funcheon. Opened in May, two exhibits
brought in many new visitors. Chair-ity: Wild and Crazy Chairs included 102 chairs artistically altered by
members of the community and donated to the Art Museum for sponsorship or sale. The Brown County
Art Guild: Juried Exhibition connected our museum with several other regions in the state of Indiana as
well.
The McAllister Foundation generously granted $12,500 for continuing improvements to our ArtSmart:
Indiana website. Thanks to SIA Foundation for funding a 10-iPad mobile learning lab for use at our
community partner Oakland High School and to Target for a $2,000 grant. With the leadership of Sue
Carr, thirty-nine volunteer art instructors teach weekly OHS art classes, for which the students would not
otherwise have the opportunity. Sue and Kendall gave presentations about our museum’s art education
programs to five local service organizations.
Our final event was the June 24 Chair Fair, which celebrated the beginning of Chair-ity, our summer
public art exhibition and fund raising program led by Elizabeth Lockrey. I want to thank all of you who
so generously contribute your time, talent and funds to make the Art Museum a key ingredient in our
“Community of Choice.”

President’s Annual Report 2011/2012
Our Board members worked well with each other and with our capable staff to make 2011 – 2012 a very
positive and productive year. The year was filled with great exhibitions at the Museum, outstanding events, and
expansion of our facilities with the Manya Fan Art Education Center made possible by the generous gifts from
the Manya Fan family. We recognize that we are a membership organization and that we must continue to
develop ways to attract new members and sustain our current membership levels in order to remain vibrant.
“Under The Oaks” in September of 2011 was a tremendous success thanks to the creativity and hard work of
the committee and our volunteers. The Heart of Art Dinner and Auction raised substantially more revenue
than in previous years. Dinners at Westwood hosted by Purdue President France Cordova as well as other
unique auction items sparked enthusiastic bidding. Our sponsors for the Heart of Art and the planning
committee did a great job in making this event very successful.
Our final event of the fiscal year ending June 30th was “Chair-ity” which featured all shapes and sizes of chairs
created and painted by local artists, including art students. The chairs were sponsored by various patrons.
Chair-ity was a financial success and brought many new faces to the Museum. Thank you to the Committee
for this unique and well-planned exhibit.
Our support of the high school art curriculum at Oakland School was a successful venture that positively
impacted many students who might not otherwise have exposure to art. Additionally, the variety of classes
offered by our Museum, our talented faculty members, and the hours given by volunteers in the area of
education and otherwise continue to make our Museum thrive.
In conjunction with WBAA, our Museum sponsored a two-day Southern Indiana Treasures trip in early
November featuring the Miller House in Columbus, an architectural tour of Columbus, a visit to the T. C.
Steele home near Nashville, a visit to the Brown County Art Guild, and a memorable private tour and tasting
dinner at the Upland Brewery in Bloomington.
AMGL participated in the Community Foundation Matching Funds Grant Program created in 2011. The
monies raised are matched up to twenty five percent (25%) by the Greater Lafayette Community Foundation
through 2013 and will be used to support art education through the Manya Fan Art Education Center. The
AMGL Board of Directors appreciates the support and contributions of our Foundation Board. The Art
League’s enthusiastic support of our Museum is also key to our continued success.
In summary, our sponsors, members, faculty, board members, volunteers and staff have made our Museum a
vibrant success story for 2011 – 2012.

Education Report
2011-2012 met with unprecedented cohesiveness of the education committee, faculty and the guilds as we
anticipated the generous gift of the Fan family for the Manya Fan Art Education Center.
In advance of the mid February renovation start date, wish lists were made, supplies were sorted and stored
and the area was cleared in anticipation of our new space, which allowed for better implementation of the
education components of the mission of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette. As a group we continue
to think of better ways to use the space and work together in our glorious new Manya Fan Art Education
Center.
Education Committee-Members are Jane Boswell, Sue Carr, Meg Ellis, Carol Purdy, Cheryl Rosenthal,
Renee Thomas, Kathy Trout and Linda Vanderkolk.
Faculty- Lorie Amick, Elizabeth Beeson, Jane and Jeff Boswell, Ron Burgess, Cindy Krulitz, Jennifer
Reitmeyer, Bridget Santon, Judy Titche, and James Werner. This group adapted well to a new “Policies and
Procedures Handbook” compiled by Jane Boswell, inspired more advertising and created a “Sampler Class” 8
weeks with 8 instructors and 8 media.
Guilds- Tuesday Painters, led by Robert Lempke, the Fabric Guild led by Helen Radavich and a Figurative
Guild led by Susan Doster.
Oakland High School collaboration: Sue Carr continues as volunteer Art Educator/Liaison with LSC’s
new Oakland High School for the purpose of providing art experiences for the newly conceived school. 80
students and 38 volunteers were involved during the 2011-2012 school year. She is working with the school
faculty, Education Committee members, volunteer art teachers and artists to make art an integral part of
science, mathematics, and the humanities programs at Oakland. Five students were enrolled in Art for
credit classes during the 2011-2012 school year. Tours of AMGL Exhibitions were planned for all students.
As part of our Community Partnership, the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette also uses the OHS art
classrooms for museum studio classes. The studio is equipped by the generosity of many community groups
and businesses. In addition, seven “StudiOHS” were held during the school year for all students, funded by
a grant from Target Corporation. A second Target grant will provide for five “StudiOHS” beginning in the
fall of 2012.
Scheduled tours included many adult groups from Purdue; Westminster, Kiwanis, schools (preschoolers,
home-schoolers, parochial, and public). Most tour groups participated in related activities in the studios
as well as the exhibits in the galleries, all planned by Meg Ellis and Cheryl Rosenthal. A large group of
visitors enjoyed “chair-ity” and activities on the lawn between the Art Museum and TCHA after the Box
parade on June 30.
Workshops and lectures
David Slonim presented a 3-day Plein Air Workshop in September of 2011.
The winter season was filled with interesting gallery talks starting with Bob and Ellie Haan on the Indiana
Realities: Regionalist Paintings Exhibit. Rachel Perry who curated the show for the Indiana State Museum
gave a talk in March. The Trading Spaces: Exchanged Collections of African and African American Art

Our Mission: The Foundation exists to provide financial support to
the art Museum of Greater Lafayette. To that end, the Foundation
has received and acquired assets for the benefit of the Art Museum.
Moreover, the Foundation manages and invests the assets for
preservation, growth and income for the Museum.
Celebrating 30 years, the Foundation, established in 1982, helps
provide assurance for the future in supporting the local arts.
In 2011-2012 the Foundation was able to provide $30,900 in
unrestricted funds for the operation of the Art Museum and this
year we are able to provide $37,33 for 2012-2013, a 21% increase
over the prior year due to increased funds in the Foundation and
investment performance. Our goal is to maximize the long-term
financial support of the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette.
With the community support through membership, gifts or
bequests, the Foundation is able to help perpetuate the Museum
and its many exhibitions, acquisitions, educational programs and
community outreach.
Thanks to the Foundation Board members for their financial
support, active leadership and participation in the museum
fundraising, friend raising and special events.

Art League Report
The Art League continued its tradition of providing social and educational opportunities for members
through monthly meetings. Programs focused on the current gallery exhibits with speakers who were
involved with a particular exhibit. Sheri Helmkamp, Jim and Ruthie Shook, Ron Burgess, Therese
Lynch, Bob and Ellie Haan provided a personal touch to their informative talks. A past recipient of the
Art League AEAI Scholarship, Ying Larimore, spoke about the art classes she teaches at Battle Ground
Middle School. And for a second year, our February meeting was “Books and Bagels”. Local author, Nancy
Patchen, moderated a discussion of Ernest Hemingway’s “A Moveable Feast”. A long time tradition of
alternating hosting a meeting with the Symphony Guild continued. This year the Art League was treated
to a performance of winners of the Symphony’s Keller Competition.
Members from the Art League viewed the wonderful works of art displayed during the “Making it in
Crafts” exhibition held at the Art Museum. Members and our liaison to the museum collection committee,
Sheri Helmkamp, were particularly impressed with a glass sculpture, “10467A.C. Fused glass” by Jon
M. Wolfe. The Art League elected to purchase this sculpture as a gift donation to the Art Museum’s
permanent collection. Members were then pleased to have Jon Wolfe and his wife, Karen, accept an
invitation to attend the May luncheon/annual meeting. Jon provided a very interesting power point
presentation about his history as an artist and his role as the Director of the Hot Glass Studio at Kokomo
Opalescent Glass.
If you’ve attended one of the receptions celebrating an opening of exhibits in the galleries of the Art
Museum, you know they are a great opportunity to see old friends and meet new ones. But did you know
that all the drinks and refreshments are provided by the Art League? You may have noticed Art League
members serving and keeping the table replenished. Thanks again to Shirley Bosler who, year after year, has
organized these receptions.
Of course, scholarships, acquisitions and museum receptions would not be possible without the efforts of

Inspiring Generations: Sister Rufinia And Her Students
This exhibit was a retrospective including 50 of Sister Rufinia’s works loaned from private and institutional collections. Through her many years of teaching art, she
touched the lives of many generations of families in the Greater Lafayette community. Works from students who took art classes from her were also in the exhibit.
Five of Sister Rufinia’s paintings are in the Art Museum’s Permanent Collection, including the oil: “The Old Carpenter”, which was exhibited in this show.
Sister Mary Rufinia was a Catholic nun who was a nurse at St. Elizabeth hospital. Crippled too severely in an accident to continue nursing, she studied art at several
institutions and became involved as an artist and art teacher. In 1930 she opened a studio at St. Francis High School near the hospital and taught watercolor, pottery and sculpture. Many of her students are practicing artists today. She passed away in 1959.

Indiana Realities: Regionalist Painting 1930 - 1945 From The Robert F. And Ellen E. Haan Collection
The galleries were filled with outstanding works of Regionalist Paintings from the Haan collection curated by Rachel Perry, recently retired Curator of Cultural
History at the Indiana State Museum.
What is Regionalist art? She explains, “Between the World Wars, the United States assumed isolationist tendencies, creating an appreciation for uniquely
American culture. Artists began to view the “American Scene” from a new prespective, documenting the land and cities as they saw them. The Regionalist
movement reflected an increased interest in realistic painting and an inclination for artists to document their experiences of, and for their nostalgic, political
and aesthetic appeal”
This first major exhibition of Indiana’s Regionalist art, which measures favorably with any other state in the nation, featured a long neglected group of artists
whose work deserves attention. Consisting of 37 original paintings, the exhibition showcased the best of Indiana Regionalist’s works, including artists Edmund
Brucker, Grant Christian, Harry Davis, E. Roger Frey, Cecil Head, Floyd Hopper and William F. Kaeser.

wheelchair or bench. The resulting over 100 chairs made for a spectacular exhibit and a significant fundraising result from numerous sponsors and
