report - Newport Art Museum
Creative and curious people founded the Art Association of Newport in 1912 – artists, thinkers, writers – people who understood that art is our link with the past, a reflection on the present, and our gift to the future. It helps us to celebrate our roots and to find our place in history. Art teaches us how to see, hear and feel the world – to express ourselves, our dreams, our visions. Art saves the past and celebrates the future by preserving our cultural heritage. Our founding members believed that art mattered in 1912. It still matters. Almost one hundred years later, the Newport Art Museum continues to enhance community life as a shared place for the arts, ideas and culture, where creative and curious people come together. ANNUAL REPORT 2011 FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Time marches on! When many of you read this, the Newport Art Museum will have crossed the century mark into its second century of bringing art to life in Rhode Island. These pages bring you reports from the 12 months preceding our centennial year, nevertheless during 2011 the Museum’s 100th anniversary was continually present in our thoughts and actions. As we prepared for the 2012 centennial, we reflected on our origins as the Art Association of Newport (AAN), a democratic community-oriented organization dedicated to “the cultivation of artistic endeavor and interest amongst the citizens of Newport.” A new charter adopted in 1915 expanded the AAN’s mission to encompass all the arts, art education and the establishment of a public art museum. Since the beginning we have sought to enhance community life as a shared place for the arts, ideas and culture. In 2011, we continued to serve Rhode Island and regional communities as a cultural gathering place with a reputation for inclusiveness, professionalism, high-quality exhibitions and programming, and dedication to individual growth and learning. It is an honor and a privilege to serve this institution and my community as President of the Board of Trustees. In that capacity, I wish to extend my professional and personal gratitude to all of the dedicated volunteers, staff members, community members, businesses, foundations and others who have given of themselves and their resources to support the Newport Art Museum’s efforts to bring art to life in Rhode Island. Roderick B. O’Hanley President, Board of Trustees 2 DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 2011 BOARD OF TRUSTEES AS OF AUGUST 2011 What is the Newport Art Museum? How is it of value to the community it serves? In 2011 we addressed these and other questions related to identity in order to define a direction for the Museum’s second century. From the inside, the Museum’s identity is based on its purpose as expressed in our mission and our vision for the future, and on those core values that guide our decisionmaking. From the outside, the Museum’s identity reflects what others believe is valuable and impactful on the lives of individuals and the broad community. Ensuring that both viewpoints are closely aligned is part of the work that makes the Newport Art Museum a respected, trusted and beloved institution in Rhode Island. To this end, in 2011 we have dedicated our energies to enhancing Rhode Island life by serving as a gathering place for the enjoyment and enrichment of all. We have been building our collection of Rhode Island regional art through our 100 Works for 100 Years acquisition initiative. We have created more scholarship and outreach opportunities, as well as free Museum days, so that people, regardless of their ability to pay, can be inspired by art or become artists themselves. We finished the restoration of the Cushing Memorial Gallery, and created a compelling new visual identity with the help of Malcolm Grear Designers that puts art within Newport in a contemporary yet classic design. As the Museum stands on the eve of its centennial, we are very grateful to the many dedicated stewards – staff, trustees, members, volunteers - who in years past have guided the Museum, and to foundations and individuals who have given their support. We are equally appreciative of today’s supporters and leaders who care deeply about the Newport Art Museum’s next one hundred years. Board Officers Roderick O’Hanley President Anne S. Damon First Vice President Jean Gorham Vice President Sandra Craig Vice President Frederick Mattis Treasurer Diana R. Slocum Secretary Trustees Jennifer Booth, Ed.D. Pamela Chapman Joseph A. Chazan, M.D. Peter Englehart Barnet Fain Louis A. Fazzano Patricia Fernandez Sarah Gewirz Cora Lee Gibbs Edward T. Harvey Sue Klau Linda McGoldrick Brooke Roberts Robin Grace Warren Ellicott Wright Elizabeth A. Goddard Executive Director The Newport Art Museum is fully accredited by the American Association of Museums (AAM). This accreditation is the highest national recognition of a museum’s commitment to accountability, public service, professional museum standards, and excellence in education and stewardship. Fewer than 5% of America’s 17,500 museums have achieved this distinction. OUR MISSION The Newport Art Museum inspires passion for the arts in diverse audiences through exhibitions and collections, arts education, historic preservation, and arts and cultural programming. It focuses on artists – past and present – who have lived and worked in the Rhode Island region and celebrates their importance in American art. 3 CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT In 2011, the Newport Art Museum presented 16 exhibitions showcasing the region’s finest contemporary and historic art. We are the only museum in the country to focus on the art of Rhode Island. The ever popular Newport Annual Members’ Juried Exhibition attracted submissions from 242 artists. Juror Maya Allison, Curator of the David Winton Bell Gallery, Brown University, selected 72 works for the exhibition. Marion Carry Woman in Red, c. 1950 Oil on canvas; 20 x 25 in. Our major summer exhibition, “Remembering the Ladies: Women and the Art Association of Newport,” highlighted women who were instrumental in establishing and operating this now thriving institution, in particular Maud Howe Elliott, long time “director” [secretary] of the Art Association. The exhibition also featured artwork by significant regional and national female artists who have exhibited here since 1912, including Helena and Louisa Sturtevant, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, Lilla Cabot Perry, Gertrude Fiske, Isabel Bishop and Nancy Elizabeth Prophet. The show was well reviewed and publicized with articles in American Art Review and Newport History. Generous support from Patricia and Michael Fernandez, William Vareika Fine Arts Ltd, Terrence and Suzanne Murray and Diane Wilsey funded a beautiful full-color catalogue. In the fall, “Image and Innovation: 100 Years of Prints and Drawings from the Permanent Collection” featured many works that were exhibited for the first time, thanks to funding for mats and frames. Bruce Howe was at last acknowledged as the donor of many of these prints and drawings. 100 Works for 100 Years, initiated in 2010, embraces the goal of acquiring 100 significant works of art representing 100 years of service to our community. In 2011, 16 new pieces were donated or purchased. Our Collections Acquisition Fund will grow through a deaccessioning project spearheaded by local curator Karen Conway. Proceeds from the sale through auction of works in the permanent collection that do not comply with our mission (or were acquired with the idea of selling) will support the Collections Acquisition Fund.

EDUCATION DEPARTMENT 2011 People of all ages and abilities explore their creativity, engage with art and connect with others through the Newport Art Museum’s education programs. Nearly 1,000 individuals enrolled in more than 150 classes, camps, and workshops. Dozens were able to attend on scholarship with support from The Hartfield Foundation, the Trustees of the Long Wharf and Public School, Mr. and Mrs. James J. Coleman, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Michael Fernandez, Ford Family Foundation, Philip Howard, Inner Light Center for Yoga, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Kiernan, Belinda Kielland, and Mr. and Mrs. William M. Vareika. Additional scholarship support was generously given at the 2011 Summer Soirée from David Aldrich, Armin B. Allen, Anne S. Damon Trust, Theodora Aspegren, Breyer Family Fund, Marion O. Charles, Congressman David N. Cicilline , Dr. Jane Dennison, Ronald L. Fleming, Dorrance H. Hamilton, Scot Jarvis, Mary M. Jennings, Katherine Field & Associates, Inc., George H. McNeely, Thomas P. Palmer , James A. Purviance , Frank N. Ray, David M. Ryan, Leslie E. Taylor, Susan Turner, John A. Van Beuren, and William M. Vareika. New England, the Coleman Center offered a series of print workshops and demonstrations. Art history lectures and art demonstrations provided learning opportunities for students and visitors. Docents led tours for over 250 adults and 285 youth. The Museum hosted monthly Lunch with the Artist discussions with Richard Tyre, films sponsored by the Architectural Forum, and lectures and presentations hosted by the Photographers’ Guild, all of which were open to the public. Seven well-received speakers presented to 665 attendees in total during the 84th annual Winter Lecture Series: Darrell West, Don Bousquet, Soheyl Amini, Francisco Noya, John K Grosvenor, Scott Molloy,and Lucia de Leiris. Support from Ronald Lee Fleming II, The Felicia Fund, George and Anita Furbish, The Hope Foundation, Cynthia and Robert Sinclair, and Robin Grace Warren made the series possible. By employing 35 artists at the Coleman Center for Creative Studies in 2011, and renting studio space to the Art League of Rhode Island and the Community College of Rhode Island, the Museum continues its long-standing support of the artistic community. Approximately 425 guests enjoyed our PM Musical Picnics in 2011, sponsored again this year by our friends at NewportFed. Abbey Rhode, Fran Curley Jazz, and The Ravers performed. NewportFed also sponsored our Music in the Galleries concerts. Performances by Chelley, Bill, and Dyl, Aurea Ensemble, Fado with Josephine, and two appearances of the Navy Band Northeast: Top Brass Quintet entertained 325 people. In conjunction with the exhibition of work by the Printmakers’ of Network Southern The Coleman Center for Creative Studies exhibited six shows of faculty and student 7 work in collaboration with the Art League of Rhode Island and the Boys and Girls Club of Newport County. The Newport Art Museum inspires passion for the arts in diverse audiences through arts education. Our extensive Coleman Center outreach programs served 1150 people in 2011. We collaborated with numerous community organizations to offer these programs including Boys and Girls Club of Newport County, Inc., iNCASE, Newport, Jamestown and Portsmouth Public Schools, Looking Upwards, Sail to Prevail, Newport Community School, and the Bradley Schools in East Providence, Portsmouth, Narragansett, and Westerly. We also brought art education to elders in collaboration with area retirement and assisted living communities. Eighty-five students from Rogers, Portsmouth, and East Bay Metropolitan High Schools learned about museum careers while earning high school credits through MUSE (Museum Studies), supported by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). IMLS funding also allowed us to hire three MUSE students as interns. We are grateful to the Newport County Fund of The Rhode Island Foundation and The Jean Margaret Young Brown Fund for their support of Artful Elders and to BankNewport Charitable Fund and The Hartfield Foundation for their support of our longstanding collaboration with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Newport County, Inc. Child and Family generously funded Adopt an Artist, which provides financial assistance to youth interested in art classes at the Coleman Center. Thank you to the Harry C., Miriam C. and William C. Horton Fund and the John Clarke Trust for their support of our arts enrichment programs with the Newport Family Child Opportunity Zone. BUILDINGS + GROUNDS 2011 Cushing Memorial Gallery 2011 saw the culmination of numerous repair and restoration projects within the Cushing Gallery. We repaired water damage to the interior plaster, duplicated original trim and ceiling molding to restore the original form and color, refinished the main stone composite lobby floor and the badly worn gallery floors, with outstanding results. Exterior accessibility and aesthetic improvements to the west portico included restoration of the original doors, slate inlay, domed ceiling, and decorative plaster. The handrails on both entrances are scheduled for improvements in 2012. John N. A. Griswold House To ensure the integrity of the Griswold House façade and roof, we painted the siding and trim, installed snow hooks, and repaired gutters. The addition of warm-wire along leakprone features will prevent ice build-ups that can lead to the incursion of storm-water. The many intricate windows of the house are awaiting a final cleaning and coat of paint before new storm window installation, made possible through a grant from The Champlin Foundations. The six-year major inspection of all fire suppression systems throughout the facility took place in October 2011. Minor repairs and replacements were needed. This corresponded with a staff briefing on fire code, suppression tools and procedure to ensure a fire-safe environment. 8 Technological infrastructure improvements include the installation of new servers, streamlined calendar synchronizations, and a virtual PBX phone system has increased overall staff efficiency and productivity. We upgraded and repaired the audio-visual stack housed in the Ilgenfritz gallery to accommodate its heavy usage. The outdated projector remains the only item in need of replacement funding in order to meet the high definition needs of our cutting-edge guilds and presenters, and to maintain the attractive nature of our venue. Coleman Center for Creative Studies The Kahn Building is one of the most highly trafficked areas on campus per square foot. Efforts to renew the building’s overall aesthetic include plaster repair and painting throughout the interior, and stripping and waxing tile floors to restore their original luster. A hazardous chemical disposal initiative has removed old and unused chemicals from the print studio. The installation of HVAC improvements, through the generous support of the Owen Coleman Family Foundation has improved overall air quality. Maintenance and improvement of the plumbing, ceramic studio, and general appliances have helped to ensure the overall functionality of the center. In 2011, we upgraded heating and cooling systems at the Coleman Center with generous support from Mr. and Mrs. James J. Coleman and the Owen Coleman Family Foundation. A state-of-the-art SMARTboard and updated design software enhanced our Digital Studio thanks to the generosity of The Jean Margaret Young Brown Fund and the Rhode Island Foundation. Support from the Ocean State Charities Trust enabled the Museum to upgrade Coleman Center office systems. This magnificent carved Greek marble desk with Pakistani onyx inlay now graces the Cushing Gallery foyer thanks to the generosity of Robert and Joanne Schacht.Originally created for Schacht’s law office in Providence by sculptor Richard Graham, the desk fits beautifully into our refurbished neo-classical building. Graham studied sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and exhibited at the Art Association in the 1970s, before relocating to Carrera, Italy. 9 EVENTS 2011 Summer Soirée More than 260 guests attended Honoring Artful Women: Painters and Patrons, on Saturday, July 9, 2011 where we celebrated national arts patron Diane B. Wilsey for outstanding support of the arts in San Francisco and Newport. The gala raised more than $227,169, including $14,000 in Coleman Center scholarship funds. Chairs Jean and Sidney Gorham hosted a fun-filled evening that included a sumptuous dinner provided by Russell Morin Fine Catering, dancing to the Bob Hardwick Orchestra and an exciting live auction. Special thanks to committee members Rod O’Hanley, Linda McGoldrick, Diana Slocum, Diane Montenegro, Judy Blake, Lawrence Bacon and David Price; to event planner Francesca Campo; and to Jean Gorham for her spectacular flower arrangements. Congressman David Cicilline and presented a Congressional Citation to Diane “Dede” Wilsey in recognition of her outstanding patronage of the arts in Newport and San Francisco. Wet Paint 2011 made a big splash Established and emerging artistic talent was in the spotlight August 20 and 21 during Wet Paint, which generated almost $68,000 for general operations, exhibitions and programs. Our heartfelt thanks go to sponsor WILLIAM VAREIKA FINE ARTS LTD and to the more than 300 artists who donated all or a large part of the proceeds from the sale of their work to the Museum. Thank you to co-chairs Jessica Hagen, Brooke Roberts and Tom Eberhardt, auctioneer Mike Corcoran, our many volunteers, and to all of you who joined in the Wet Paint auctions. Thank you also to sponsors Art New England, Artscope, Joseph A. Chazan, M.D., the Norman Bird Sanctuary and our cash and in-kind sponsors for making 2011 Wet Paint a success. We gratefully acknowledge the efforts of committee members Larry Bacon, Judy Blake, Martha Lynne Barrows, Jessica Bradley, Tara Elliott, Gayle Hargreaves, Jeff McCooey and Claire Newbury. During 2011, 90 volunteers donated 3,108 hours to the Museum. Interns and work-study students from Salve Regina University, East Bay Metropolitan School, Art Institute of Boston, Rogers High School, Rhode Island School of Design, Evergreen State College, Connecticut College, Brown University, Clark University, and Drew University collectively contributed 761 hours. We simply could not get by without these generous and devoted supporters. Thank you one and all. 10 We honored long-serving Griffon Shop volunteer Joan Klaserner in 2011 as Volunteer of the Year. “It’s a delight to work with the people who work here. I’m still having fun and I’ve enjoyed meeting the people who consign here too,” says Joan. Our heart-felt thanks to you Joan for your generosity. In 2011, we closed the Griffon Shop, a consignment store run by Museum volunteers for many years, to make way for the Elizabeth Conklin Museum Shop, which will carry merchandise reflecting our exhibitions and collections, catalogues, art and art history books, original art by Newport Art Museum members and souvenirs. We will be raising additional funds in 2012 to support the launch of this new venture. We are grateful to these Centennial Sponsors who will be supporting the Newport Art Museum through 2012. CENTENNIAL SPONSORS The Museum wishes to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers who have given countless hours of their time in successfully managing the Griffon Shop. The Museum has been the recipient of their love and attention for twenty-four years. We are most appreciative of their dedication and look forward to having their help in the Elizabeth Conklin Museum Shop and in other areas of the Museum community. Elizabeth A.
