2012/13 Annual Report 2012/13 ANNUAL REPORT Cover: A Princeton Mix, 2013, collage mural by Nancy Shill, 2013 Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence, on view at Witherspoon Hall, 400 Witherspoon Street. The Project: To honor and recognize the newly consolidated town of Princeton, Nancy Shill, the Arts Council of Princeton’s Spring 2013 Anne Reeves Artist-in-Residence, created a collage mural made entirely of materials found or collected in Princeton. Nancy’s approach is to represent a specific location in which she collects the content material for her collages and this public artwork creatively represents the life and culture of our newly consolidated town. From the BOARD PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IT IS SAID that the true test of character is how one performs when faced with adversity. As we are in production on this Annual Report, we are observ- ing the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. That was truly a test for the Arts Council and we are proud to report that the handling of that extreme emergency situation was evidence of an organization with great character. The ACP was without power or phones for over a week. Even after power was restored, our server was found to be severely damaged due to a 27,000 volt power surge when the storm hit. Internet and email service was not fully functional for almost a month. While we were without email or any standard means of communication during the week after the storm, our staff held emergency meetings, members of our Dining by Design team gathered to reschedule the event and, through sheer resourcefulness, we found ways to get messages to our ticket holders, students, and members via text messages and Constant Contact. The Princeton Public Library, so welcoming to the entire community after the storm, was a very important community partner to the Arts Council, providing temporary office and meeting space to our staff and board for more than a week while we got back on our feet. To use another popular saying, “whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger,” the Arts Council of Princeton today is much stronger than a year ago. We bounced back from the storm with the second most successful Annual Fund Drive ever, one of our most memorable and lucrative Dining by Design events, steadily increasing enrollment in our classes and workshops, and a continually growing membership and donor base. It’s exciting to look back on the past year and see how the Arts Council’s outreach to the community has grown. In turn, it is heartening to observe how community collaborations, volunteer power, and the inspiring creativity of artists and performers have helped to build the Arts Council’s programs and impact to new heights, even during a year when a “superstorm” posed a very real threat to our organization and to our community. During the year we increased our outreach to seniors, teens and to those in the community who have little or no access to the arts. In the spirit of our mission of building community through the arts, we were proud to work with our new consolidated Princeton to adopt a new town logo and to sponsor a community collage mural project. In these pages you will find images and words that record the many accomplishments of the Arts Council from July 2012 through June 2013. You will also find the names of the hundreds of individuals, businesses and nonprofit partners who come together to make our building community mission a reality. We offer our sincere thanks to all of you. With kind regards, Cindi Venizelos Jeff Nathanson President, Board of Trustees Executive Director 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Greetings from the Board President & Executive Director 3 The Numbers Tell the Story 4 Arts Education 5 Artreach 6 Communiversity Festival of the Arts & Princeton Arts Weekend 7 Community Cultural Events 8 Exhibitions 9 Performances 10 Gala Benefits 11 Membership and Volunteers 12 Finances 13 Our Supporters (Thank you!) 26 Community Partners 27 ACP Faculty/Teaching Artists 28 Board of Trustees, Staff and Consultants, Photo credits 2 participants in ACP 50,000 programs and events studio arts classes for The 489 children and adults Numbers 238 new classes offered 2,000 students scholarship dollars 18,000 awarded 23 exhibitions 1,500 Halloween paraders children and seniors served in 250 our outreach programs 3,655 volunteer hours logged tell the 2,111 current members 1,500 donors Communiversity story attendees 40,000 900 fundraiser attendees 345 participating artists 8,894 email subscribers Facebook Friends 1,900 3 “The best part of ACP classes is the enthusiasm, encouragement and inspiration to try new techniques.” –ACP student ARTS EDUCATION Student at work in Ruth Councell’s Watercolor Exploration class. 4 art REACH “The class opened my eyes to new ways of looking at things, new possibilities.” –Participant in Art for Caregivers Class THROUGH ALL OF OUR ArtReach programs, the Arts Council provides free high quality, regularly occurring, subsidized arts programming to community members who would not otherwise receive the benefits of that experience.
