Fullercraft Museumtm Let the Art Touch You fullerCRAFT museumTM Let the art touch you Annual Report 2017 july 1, 2016 – june 30, 2017 exhibitions A blown-out period room. A 30-foot serpent composed solely of nails. A wooden man rising up from the Nevada desert. A fantasy Shumachine designed to transport visitors back to Brockton's golden age of shoe manufacturing. These are but a few remarkable objects that appeared in our galleries this past year as part of Fuller Craft Museum's exhibitions program. Through the twenty singular shows presented in FY2017, 251 artists and over a thousand handcrafted works were celebrated, furthering our efforts to inspire, educate, and delight audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The power of our exhibitions program, and in a larger sense our institution, is only as strong as the collaborative relationships that crystallize the individual projects. We graciously acknowledge the many partners that helped us bring the exhibitions to life—guest curators, community representatives, industry experts, our superb staff, and of course the extraordinary artists. For without their talent and cooperation, we would be ineffectual in our mission to celebrate the timeless union of hand, mind, heart, and material.

By exploring the leading edge of craft through exhibitions, collections, education, and public programs, we challenge perceptions and build appreciation of the material world. Our purpose is to inspire, stimulate, and enrich an ever expanding community. our new vision Fuller Craft Museum aspires to be the nexus of contemporary craft. Embodied by creative aesthetic, concept expression, and cultural meaning, we will serve as a public resource to chronicle, interpret, and present craft in its many forms. We will support, redefine, and influence the field through exploration, education, and thought leadership. Our goal is to expand awareness, insight, and accessibility for our growing audiences. 1.from from the the director executive director Museums inevitably change over time and, with support of membership, they improve! Those members who have recently visited Fuller Craft Museum no doubt have noticed significant physical improvements as well as incredibly compelling exhibitions, fresh displays of permanent collection objects, and active educational programs. This reflects the energy, imagination, and talent of the hard-working staff—supported by dedicated volunteers and educators. Now, when Fuller Craft Museum is in such good and caring hands, it is the right moment, after five years at the helm, for me to step aside as Director to invite new leadership to bring new levels of achievement to this institution. While I will remain in weekly contact as Senior Research Associate and Director Emeritus, Denise Lebica will become the Interim Director. It is the intention of the Board to conduct a search for the next leader of Fuller Craft Museum. It is important for museum members to know that over the past few months staff, invited professionals, and Board members have drafted new planning and policy guidelines: a mission statement, vision statement, governance plan, development and strategic plan. These new and rewritten documents assure a fresh and current direction for our Museum. On July 1, Fuller Craft Museum strengthened its community partnership with the citizens of Brockton by offering free admission to all from this city. The Museum has embraced the vision of founder Myron Fuller in becoming an active member of the community and a resource for its residents. Partnering with the Economic Development Office and the Brockton Redevelopment Authority, Fuller Craft Museum has a downtown presence through public art projects and future plans for an active, artists-in-residence space. Dear Member—please do visit us soon and often to enjoy the extraordinary events, celebrations, exhibitions, and educational opportunities that Fuller Craft Museum offers throughout the season. As you know, Fuller Craft Museum is unlike any other museum as we overlook a beautiful lake surrounded with a forested landscape where changing nature and art intersects and inspires!

Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.
