It also represented my first year as the Museum’s ninth Director and the 134th year of our incorporation. On behalf of the entire professional staff and the Trustees of the Art Museum, I am pleased to offer this annual report to outline your Museum’s activities over the past year. During the past year, we opened innovative new antiquities galleries in partnership with the University of Cincinnati, we inaugurated the Rosenthal Education Center as a full-time, free art education program for the public, and we are underway with plans to bring more of our collections on view than ever before. We are on the verge of launching the initial phase of a much sought-after public research tool: access to our collections databases, which will be made possible through a new Museum website. the Louis and Louise Dieterle Nippert Director Letter from I am committed to activating the breadth and depth of the Museum’s collections for greater public benefit. Ultimately, at the Cincinnati Art Museum we collect art as a public trust. That trust calls upon us to teach, to offer opportunities for study, and to LETTER FROM THE LOUIS engage in formal and informal education throughout our city. Programs like Art for Life place us in the pathways of people’s lives and raise our service to all. Look for more frequent and higher impact work in these areas to come. AND LOUISE DIETERLE In the coming year, you will find your Museum embracing its historical role as a civic leader. The Museum’s new strategic plan, formulated with input from across our city, guides us toward the principles upon which we were founded: inspiration, empowerment, education, and community building. When we do our best work, NIPPERT DIRECTOR Cincinnatians are connected to art–and to each other–in deep and meaningful ways. Cincinnati Museum Association Annual Report 2016 Through art, people become community. Thus we draw our strength and support. From Van Gogh to American folk art, from ancient Egyptian cats to the Lexington Camera Club, the new year at the Cincinnati Art Museum is filled with joyous scholarship, surprises, and an abiding commitment to serve you: our shareholders, members, patrons, families, neighbors, and fellow Cincinnatians. In turn, I am immensely grateful for your support for your Art Museum. I look forward to a spectacular year of art and learning together.

  • Meet Pioneer of Gay Rights, Harry Hay
    Meet Pioneer of Gay Rights, Harry Hay His should be a household name. by Anne-Marie Cusac August 9, 2016 Harry Hay is the founder of gay liberation. This lovely interview with Hay by Anne-Marie Cusac was published in the September 1998 issue of The Progressive magazine. Then-editor Matt Rothschild called Hay "a hero of ours," writing that he should be a household name. He wrote: "This courageous and visionary man launched the modern gay-rights movement even in the teeth of McCarthyism." In 1950 Hay started the first modern gay-rights organization, the underground Mattachine Society, which took its name from a dance performed by masked, unmarried peasant men in Renaissance France, often to protest oppressive landlords. According to Hay's 1996 book, Radically Gay, the performances of these fraternities satirized religious and political power. Harry Hay was one of the first to insist that lesbians and gay men deserve equality. And he placed their fight in the context of a wider political movement. "In order to earn for ourselves any place in the sun, we must with perseverance and self-discipline work collectively . for the first-class citizenship of Minorities everywhere, including ourselves," he wrote in 1950. At first, Hay could not find anyone who would join him in forming a political organization for homosexuals. He spent two years searching among the gay men he knew in Los Angeles. Although some expressed interest in a group, all were too fearful to join a gay organization that had only one member. But drawing on his years as a labor organizer, Hay persisted.

  • National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options
    National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Updated December 3, 2019 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42812 National Statuary Hall Collection: Background and Legislative Options Summary The National Statuary Hall Collection, located in the U.S. Capitol, comprises 100 statues provided by individual states to honor persons notable for their historic renown or for distinguished services. The collection was authorized in 1864, at the same time that Congress redesignated the hall where the House of Representatives formerly met as National Statuary Hall. The first statue, depicting Nathanael Greene, was provided in 1870 by Rhode Island. The collection has consisted of 100 statues—two statues per state—since 2005, when New Mexico sent a statue of Po’pay. At various times, aesthetic and structural concerns necessitated the relocation of some statues throughout the Capitol. Today, some of the 100 individual statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection are located in the House and Senate wings of the Capitol, the Rotunda, the Crypt, and the Capitol Visitor Center. Legislation to increase the size of the National Statuary Hall Collection was introduced in several Congresses. These measures would permit states to furnish more than two statues or allow the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories to provide statues to the collection. None of these proposals were enacted. Should Congress choose to expand the number of statues in the National Statuary Hall Collection, the Joint Committee on the Library and the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) may need to address statue location to address aesthetic, structural, and safety concerns in National Statuary Hall, the Capitol Visitor Center, and other areas of the Capitol.

  • A Glimpse at the History of the U.S. LGBTQ Community Part 1 by Valerie
    A glimpse at the history of the U.S. LGBTQ community Part 1 by Valerie Etienne-Leveille LGBTQ is an acronym for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning (1). The acronym meaning is simple, yet it provides a glimpse to the varied and complex representative groups united in strength and solidarity toward a common cause which is equal rights for all individuals (2). The early LGBTQ Rights Movement Henry Gerber, a German immigrant, founded the first documented gay rights organization in the United States in 1924 (3)(4). The organization founded in Chicago was named The Society for Human Rights. Gerber’s organization published the earliest documented gay-interest newsletter called “Friendship and Freedom” (3)(5). Due to fear of continued harassment and persecution experienced by many individuals, subscription rates to the Friendship and Freedom newsletter were low. Henry Gerber and the members of his organization were not immune to the social and political hostilities occurring during this time. In 1925, Gerber’s organization disbanded because of unwarranted police raids, arrests, and negative media coverage. Nevertheless, Henry Gerber continued to advocate for gay rights through his writings and networking with the community (5). The Henry Gerber House A National Historic Landmark in Chicago, IL. Photo by Thshriver (5). Activists: Harry Hay (1912-2002) and William Dale Jennings (1917-2000) Harry Hay was an actor, Communist labor organizer, musicologist, theoretician, and political activist (6). He participated in the San Francisco General Strike of 1934 in which the City of San Francisco was shut down when 65,000 workers from all industries walked off from their jobs to demand for more union control toward improved working conditions (7).
