The Year 2011 at Maryhill Museum of Art ANNUAL REPORT

Maryhill Museum of Art, located in Goldendale, is a thriving organization serving residents as well as visitors from Washington, Oregon, and beyond. The museum offers an appealing mix of temporary exhibits, often featuring Northwest artists and contemporary work, with priceless works of American, European, and Native American art from its permanent collection. It provides a diverse range of educational programs directed at thousands of students, families, young adults, and adult learners. It is financially healthy with diversified revenue sources, a growing endowment, and an engaged staff and board.

In 2011 it welcomed over 36,000 guests through its doors. It presented several seasonal exhibits and its permanent exhibits featuring the museum’s collections. The museum offered dozens of programs throughout the year.

The year was momentous in that construction on the Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing began. This $10 million dollar addition brings an additional 25,000 square feet to the museum. Key features include a dedicated art education center for a wide range of public programming; a centralized collections suite to house the museum’s world-class collections; an outdoor plaza where visitors can better enjoy Maryhill’s extraordinary setting and outdoor sculpture; and a new café with terrace seating and stunning views of the Columbia River Gorge. The new wing is smart, sustainable, and honors the historic museum building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. It will strive for a United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold. See www.maryhillmuseum.org for more information. The wing will be dedicated on May 13, 2012, the anniversary of Sam Hill’s birthday. .

The McCarty Pond Wetland Enhancement Project was completed. The pond was created in the 1920s by Sam Hill, who built a low dam and weir to hold back waters from regional springs. The project was part of Hill’s Quaker Farming Community and supplied water to his Columbus Land Company. Later the water system served the museum, its grounds and gardens. For many years, the springs feeding the reservoir at McCarty remained the principal source of irrigation water for the museum’s grounds. As the museum’s water systems were upgraded, the pond and its dam and weir were no longer a necessity. But the historic dam, weir and pond were kept intact with the hope of one day creating an enhanced wetland and maintaining the habitat for numerous species, including the red-wing blackbird, dark-eye junco, hawks, deer, coyote, and other small animals. When, in 2009, Klickitat County and Cannon Power Group asked about areas on the museum’s 5,300 acres that might be suitable for a wetland enhancement project, McCarty Pond was the obvious choice. With the help of Shannon & Wilson, geotech and environmental

1 consultants from Seattle, Cannon and the museum developed a plan for dredging the pond to remove accumulated silt, creating a buffer zone, strengthening the historic dam and weir to prevent water seepage, and planting native plants. Work got underway in 2011 and planting will carry into the spring of 2012.

Maryhill’s fiscal year begins in January and ends in December each year. In 2011 it had an operating budget of $1.3 and ended the year in the black. The museum has several investment accounts: two endowments; another unrestricted but used as endowment; and one temporarily restricted for the new wing. Only the endowments have permanently restricted funds identified as the principal. Gains (losses) are unrestricted on these accounts. Per the museum’s investment policy, the museum releases 5% of the value of the endowments based on a three-year average of the value of the endowments as of December 31 of each year. An audit is completed each year, and presented to the annual membership at its business meeting in May.

DEPARTMENT REPORTS

EXHIBITIONS Steve Grafe, Curator of Art

Maryhill Museum’s initial changing exhibit of 2011 was Process and Presence: Selections from the Museum of Contemporary Craft. The exhibition included 40 twentieth-century craft objects from the collection of Portland’s Museum of Contemporary Craft. It was produced in-house and was on view from March 15–July 4. Tim Young of Goldendale worked with museum staff to create new exhibit furniture for some of the displays. The exhibit was accompanied by a free two-page gallery guide that was written by Steve Grafe.

The second changing exhibit of 2011 was Beside the Big River: Images and Art of the Mid-Columbia Indians, which was on view from July 16–November 15. The exhibition features photographs of American Indians of the western Columbia River Plateau and select examples of regional Indian art. Some of the photographs and most of the objects on display are from Maryhill’s collection. Three objects were borrowed from a single private collector in the Willamette Valley. Tim Young again created new furniture for the exhibit and Andy Granitto of the Yakima Valley Museum was contracted to create mounts for several of the objects. This exhibit was also accompanied by a free two-page gallery guide that was written by Steve Grafe. Beside the Big River is being held over to begin the 2012 season and will be on view in the Upper Level changing exhibits gallery from March 15–May 28.

Three artists were featured in Maryhill’s outdoor sculpture garden during 2011—Daniel Duford of Portland; John Mayo of White Salmon, WA; and Joseph Warren of Portland. Their sculpture was on view from May 14–October 2. It was supplemented by a new, permanent addition to the sculpture garden, Devin Laurence Field’s Folded Fan, a 7½-foot-tall steel sculpture that was donated to the museum by Melanie Tang in late 2010. In October 2011, Joseph Warren donated his loaned work, Diana’s Stag, and it will remain a permanent part of the sculpture garden.

Throughout the 2011 season, a small exhibit titled The Magic Grows was featured on the Upper Level at the entrance to the Théâtre de la Mode. The display was designed to provide information about the building expansion. It included an architectural model of the Mary and Bruce Stevenson Wing and four architect’s drawings of relevant interior and exterior spaces. The display also provided informational flyers about the project, of which 600+ were taken by visitors during the course of the year.

2 In January 2011, the Boise Art Museum inquired about the availability of Maryhill’s 2010 Comics at the Crossroads: Art of the Graphic Novel exhibit. By that time, museum staff had already begun returning art to the lending artists. In late July and early August, Steve Grafe picked up the already-returned art in Seattle and Portland. He delivered the work to the Boise Art Museum on August 10. The exhibit was on display there from August 20–November 27, and the art was returned to Maryhill on December 1. Steve had delivered all of the art to the artists by December 20, except for work that must be shipped to Vancouver, BC, and Massachusetts.

In June 2011, Steve completed the Collection Plan that he began in 2010. It was subsequently approved by the Collections Committee and received and filed by the Board of Trustees.

Steve was invited to participate in several public forums that increased the museum’s visibility. He answered a series of questions that were reproduced as an interview in the “Western Museum” column in the July 2011 issue of Western Art Collector. In October, Steve forwarded a list and photos of some of his favorite museum objects to the WA-List website (“Lists about anything and everything in Washington State”; www.wa-list.com). The images were the sixth most viewed of WA-List’s 2011 offerings and they will be reposted when the museum reopens in March. In November, Steve’s article about the Mid- Columbia River Indians and the Beside the Big River exhibit appeared in High Desert Journal 14. Since October, Steve has also been posting a series of collection images and related historical photos to the museum’s Facebook page (they are archived in the “Maryhill Favorites” folder). These same images also appear on Maryhill’s website as the “Virtual Gallery” on the “Exhibits” page.

Steve did some public speaking during 2011. On July 19, he gave a lecture titled “Orthodox Icons: Shared Traditions, Individual Expressions” to participants in Maryhill Museum’s 2011 Summer Art Institute. On July 21—in conjunction with the Summer Art Institute and the opening of the Beside the Big River exhibit—he presented a talk called “Ardent Amateurs: The Photographs of Lee Moorhouse and J.W. Thompson.” On November 13, he spoke about some of his favorite collection objects as part of the museum’s closing celebration.

On September 16, Steve gave a talk titled “Finery for the Forearm: Beaded Gauntlets of the Plains and Plateau” at the Material Culture of the Prairie, Plains and Plateau Fall 2011 Conference in Idaho Falls, ID. He then went to Denver, CO, and participated in tours of local art museums and galleries with members of Maryhill Museum of Art and the Portland Art Museum’s Native American Arts Council. The highlights of the trip included curator-led tours of the Denver Art Museum’s newly-installed American Indian art galleries and the Southwest Indian and Hispanic art galleries at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.

While he was at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, Steve took the opportunity to look at an Eanger Irving Couse painting that will be requested for inclusion for inclusion in Maryhill’s summer 2012 exhibit of Couse’s Columbia River imagery. On September 22, he visited the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center in Pueblo, CO, to look at a second Couse painting. On September 26, he spent a full day at the Couse Foundation, in Taos, NM, looking at art and Indian artifacts for inclusion in the exhibition. The museum will ultimately borrow three or more paintings, historic photos and about a dozen objects from the Couse Foundation. While he was in New Mexico, Steve visited the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe. There he previewed an exhibit of Macedonian textiles that offered numerous ideas for the display of Maryhill’s Romanian textile collection.

In addition to the above-named museums, Steve Grafe visited the following institutions during 2011: Hallie Ford Museum of Art (Salem, OR); Portland Art Museum (Portland, OR), The Museum at Warm Springs (Warm Springs, OR); Frye Art Museum (Seattle); Whatcom Museum of History and Art (Bellingham, WA); Cashmere Historic Museum (Cashmere, WA); Yakima Valley Museum (Yakima,

3 WA); Fort Walla Walla Museum (Walla Walla, WA); UBC Museum of Anthropology (Vancouver, BC); Boise Art Museum (Boise, ID); Denver Museum of Nature and Science (Denver, CO); New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors (Santa Fe, NM); Maxwell Museum of Anthropology (Albuquerque, NM); Albuquerque Museum of Art and History (Albuquerque, NM); Mingei International Museum (San Diego, CA); San Diego Museum of Man (San Diego, CA); and the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, CA).

This year, volunteers produced their third annual English tea and hat auction which raised over $2,000 for the museum! Volunteers contributed time and goods to the art auction, planted gardens, worked on Museum Week programs and other educational programs and helped with collections. The Education Committee updated our strategic plan and provided direction for our educational

Research / Collection Use Several tours of collections were scheduled in 2011 that included students, professors, educators, artists, authors, appraisers and descendants of donors. We had some interesting requests for images in 2011 including Theatre de la Mode images for the Britannica online blog, a television production company, and the publisher of “The Impossible Collection of Fashion”, a very limited run book with a $650 price tag. Marcela Calvet, designer of luxury handbags and related to the founders of the House of Calvet (Callot), a French couture house associated with the creation of Theatre de la Mode in the 1940s, contacted us to request a loan of the collection to an east coast venue. Since the collection no longer travels, she expressed interest in supporting the permanent exhibition of the collection as outlined in the Exhibits Master Plan.

Theatre de la Mode continues to be our most requested, published and researched collection but other research in 2011 included Sam Hill, historic highway, masonry of the historic highway, Ives Gammell, Rodin, Native American baskets and image collections to name a few. We also had separate requests from students and other institutions for our collection management policy, loan policy, sample job descriptions and several “best practice” inquiries.

7 – 15 research visits to collections – 9 group collection tours totaling 170 people – 40+ requests for images – 11 completed publications with Maryhill collections – 25 collection/Maryhill inquiries

Special Projects – Strategic Plan revised and submitted for final approval

– Collections Plan completed

– Expansion ƒ The layout of the floor plan for new collections space in the expansion was altered to increase the size of the library/research room. With the addition of mobile storage units, the room will now accommodate the museum’s library holdings. ƒ The office originally planned in the new collections space was modified to create space for a dedicated photography station. ƒ Upon request of the Collections Department, the speculated dry pipe, pre-action fire suppression system for the new storage area was changed to a wet pipe system. Research indicates that many museums are replacing fire suppression systems with wet pipe systems due to several problems including failure, corrosion and leakage. This change saved the expansion project several thousands of dollars that were applied to expansion costs. ƒ Without funds to purchase a complete storage system, the system was redesigned and prioritized so that approximately half of the system could be purchased in 2011. Funds to purchase half of the system include a generous gift and pledge from the Dunn Guild. Installation of the partial system will take place in early 2012.

– Collection relocation ƒ With Roy Grafe’s invaluable assistance, an estimated 7000 objects were removed from existing storage and consolidated into a secured temporary space. Schommer & Sons made significant contributions to facilitate the relocation by providing valuable ideas and solutions, manpower and reliable support.

– Integrated Pest Management ƒ Contracted with Sprague Pest Solutions Company ƒ Monthly on-site visits by Sprague Pest Solutions to monitor and record activity, spray insecticide and replace rodent bait ƒ Most windows in the historic building were sealed to deter pests entering the building. A few inaccessible windows are being monitored and will be reconsidered upon completion of the expansion.

– PastPerfect Collection Database software upgraded to Version 5.0. New collections computer purchased to process new software and growing collection of digital files.

– Summer Internships ƒ “Interns at Maryhill Museum of Art Policy” (addendum to Personnel Policy) approved by the Board of Trustees, May 21, 2011 ƒ Rebecca Rau, a graduate student in Archaeology at Central Washington University, completed a weeklong 1 credit Collections Management internship focusing on the inventory of our Plateau cornhusk bag collection.

8 ƒ Gretta Stimson, a recent graduate of the University of Hawai’i with a bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, volunteered over 400 hours as Collections Management Intern between June 1 and September 2, 2011. She was responsible for the research, planning and possible implementation of the Rock Creek Image Project. She also assisted with the installation and deinstallation of exhibits, processed several new acquisitions, volunteered at the Wine Auction and Arts Festival and attended the Washington Museum Association Annual Conference in Walla Walla.

Collections Committee The Collections Committee met four times in 2011. Evona Brim, Art Dodd, Harriet Langfeldt, Diane Plumridge, Mary Sayler, Mary Schlick, Phil Swartz, Ken Weeks and committee guest Juris Sarins volunteered a combined total of at least 60 hours to committee meetings. This number does not include time spent reviewing material and preparing for the meetings.

In addition to new acquisitions, integrated pest management, expansion and collections storage furniture, topics discussed at length were creating a Collections Plan and revising the expired Strategic Plan. Committee work resulted in hiring a professional pest management service, sealing windows in the historic building, a completed Collections Plan authored by Curator Steve Grafe and a new Strategic Plan for collections.

Another notable event was a traveling tour organized by Art Dodd. Registered travelers were guided through museums in Denver and Colorado Springs by Curator Steve Grafe. Over $3,200 was raised for Maryhill’s collections acquisition and conservation fund.

Volunteer Hours 2011 collections/exhibits/intern/committee volunteer hours total 1340 hours. This represents 35% of the 3,852 total hours volunteered at the museum in 2011. Hours devoted to the collections include object, library, image and archival collections; exhibit preparation and gallery maintenance; couriering loans; and administrative functions.

17 BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Andy Anderson, Maintenance

Ah yes a year of extremes so say the least. Extreme excitement for our breaking ground for the new wing. To a year of challenges moving, offices, moving yards and events, numerous issues with construction activities effecting everything from water to public access to the grounds.

I was fortunate to have had two helpers at different times throughout the year. Although we certainly could have used two more. This year will be no different. We cannot possibly depend on the Washington state work source programs for help every year. With help I can get somewhat caught up with all the requirements of this position. Without help there will be obvious deficiencies noticed by all.

In addition to the extra challenges brought on by all the construction activities there were some gains. The area by the Grace Blue Sculpture was cleared more and native plants planted thanks to volunteers and support of the Arthur G. Dunn Guild.

I was able to get the shop cleared out of many years of “pack ratting”. Enough to fill the largest roll off construction dumpster avail. But as the year went on the shop gets filled back up with “stuff”.

Outdoor events went well considering the relocation of some of the events such as the Arts Festival. It would be nice to have a designated yard for such events with the proper services available (electric, water, etc) to prevent further damaging of lawns and underground water systems.

At the end of the year we needed to do additional work in the museum’s trees on the grounds. Dead trees and limbs were removed.

And the fires…two major ones this year one close to Maryhill. Thankfully it was kept on the north side of the highway even with the winds. Many kudos to our firefighters both local and state wide.

18 RANCHLANDS Leslie Wetherell, Operations and Finance Manager

Ranchland leases for the year stayed about the same with the exception of the Thiele cropland lease and the museum’s two Kayser leases. The Ranchlands Committee decided this year to change Thiele’s lease from a 60/40 type lease where the museum shares a percentage of the crop revenue and expenses to a straight cash lease at a price of $9,000 annually. Kayser has had two leases with the museum for some time, a winter feeding lease and a calving area lease. The committee decided with the latest renewal to combine the two leases into one and increase the lease price by $350 annually. Total revenue for the year for residential rentals and ranch leases was $58,121.

Wind revenue came in at a whopping $256,299 for 2011. Loops Road rentals continue to be a money maker for Maryhill and came in at $24,625. Hopefully everyone has seen the latest Caddie commercial that aired on or around Super Bowl Sunday. It was hot!

Speaking of hot…as most of you know we had a close brush with a large wildfire this summer that burned all the way down to Highway 14 and completely blackened the hillside directly above the museum. Staff has recently inspected the damage more closely and is currently working on the completion of a damage claim form with the PUD to try to recover some of the damages caused by the fire.

Improvements for the year include continued work on the McCarty Pond Project, total project costs at $55,333, along with the installation of two culverts and some grading along the Abshire House road. Property taxes for the year amounted to $3916. Marty Hudson, our tireless Ranchlands Committee Chair, continues his never-ending battle against the blackberries, willows, and star thistle.

Coverage of the museum’s expansion has been picked up by the Associated Press (AP) and moved nationally; seen by AP's 1,700 U.S. newspaper members. Groundbreaking was covered by local and regional media and mentions on OPB’s Oregon Art Beat and in ArtForum online.

Print advertising will appear regional and local publications, including Gorge Guide, Columbia Gorge Magazine, The Dalles Chronicle Visitor’s Guide & Gorge Kids Guide, Official Washington State Travel Planner, Washington Festivals and Events Calendar, Washington State Visitors’ Guide, TravelHost, and Best Gorge Map, among others. Rack cards were distributed throughout the region in rest areas and travel information centers, including Portland Int’l Airport, Portland Pioneer Square and Multnomah Falls, among others. A new initiative began with a back-lit advertisement at the Multnomah Falls Visitors’ Kiosk. Radio advertising on Oregon Public Broadcasting, and later in the summer on NW Public Radio and All Classical FM was the final addition to the marketing plan for the year.

We are active with the new group Columbia Gorge Arts & Culture Alliance, which includes more than 40 arts and culture groups, as well as economic development and chamber representatives from throughout the Gorge. In May the group launched a successful promotion “Columbia Gorge Discovery Month” to attract tourists and regional day trippers to take part in activities.

The museum re-vamped is e-news magazine to streamline it and make it more user-friendly for subscribers who view it on smart phones.
