Orange and Tan, National Gallery of Art, Gift of Enid A. Haupl 1977.47.13 PREFACE The Gallery's fiscal year ending 30 September 1984 was re- warding. The Trustees* Council, 1 am delighted to say, is flourishing under the chairmanship of Robert H. Smith and Alexander M. Laughlin, the new vice chairman. Four new members—Donald M. Blinken of New York City, Ronald S. Lauder of Washington, D.C., Perry R. Bass of Fort Worth, Texas, and John C. Fontaine of New York City—have joined this year. The national character of the Gallery has been evidenced by the broad geographic spread of donors to the Patrons* Per- manent Fund. The growth in the size of this fund constitutes clear recognition that the Gallery's collections are the corner- stone of all of its activities. In fiscal 1984 we were pleased to receive support for the fund of an additional $10 million, putting the balance of pledges at the $36 million level and reaching over $40 mil- lion by the end of the calendar year. Interestingly, a large number of donors to the fund come from our capital city, many of them donors to the Gallery for the first time. The year's great progress for the fund was also stimulated by a challenge grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Inscription of names of Founding Patrons and Patrons has begun, publicly acknowledging the Gallery's gratitude on be- half of the entire nation to these generous contributors to this special effort to assure the Gallery's future. I also wish to express the special thanks of the Trustees to the Mark Rothko Foundation for its munificent gift which, in addition to making the Gallery the definitive repository of the works of this great artist, significantly expands by more than 150 works the already exciting offerings that are constantly made by the Gallery through its national lending service to qualified museums across the country. The service of the Gallery also continued on a broad na- tional scale in many other ways, as spelled out in the follow- ing report. I am particularly gratified by the growth in the audience reached through the department of extension pro- grams—the Gallery's free distribution service—to 114 mil- lion, an increase of some 15 percent. This audience is reached primarily via television broadcasts but also through the use of videotapes, films, slide shows, and our new laser- read videodisc by schools, libraries, community groups, and individuals all across the nation.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP

    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

    About the Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds

    A Project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania About the Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds The Leonore Annenberg Scholarship, Fellowship, and School Funds is a ten-year (2008-2018), three-pronged initiative, designed and administered by a three-person staff at the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The Leonore Annenberg College Scholarship Fund provides four-year, all-expense awards to successful high school juniors who have faced serious challenges. The Leonore Annenberg Fellowship Fund for the Performing and Visual Arts offers strategic support for talented young artists who are poised to become cultural leaders of the next generation. The Leonore Annenberg School Fund for Children makes high-impact resources available to underserved public elementary schools. Members of the program staff work closely with long-time partner organizations focused on school reform, and with major U.S.- based arts organizations and institutions, to identify exceptional candidates for these awards. All grants are made on an invitation- only basis and approved by a four-member Selection Council. ******************************************************** Leonore Annenberg served as U.S. Chief of Protocol, a position that carries the rank of ambassador, during the first term of the administration of Ronald Reagan. She succeeded her late husband, Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg, as president and chairman of the Annenberg Foundation in 2002. At her death in 2009, she left a significant body of philanthropic work reflecting her lifelong commitment to public service, education, and the arts..

    Presidential Handwriting File, 1981-1989

    PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS This collection is available in whole for research use. Some folders may still have withdrawn material due to Freedom of Information Act restrictions. Most frequent withdrawn material is national security classified material, personal privacy, protection of the President, etc. PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 The Presidential Handwriting File is an artificial collection created by the White House Office of Records Management (WHORM). The Presidential Handwriting File consists of a variety of documents that Ronald Reagan either annotated, edited, or wrote in his own hand. When documents containing the president's handwriting were received at WHORM for filing, the original was placed in the Presidential Handwriting File and arranged by the order received. A photocopy of the document was placed in the appropriate category of the WHORM: Subject File. The first page of the casefile was stamped Handwriting File, indicating the location of the original documents. However, WHORM often failed to indicate on the original documents the original location (i.e. the six digit tracking number, Subject Category Code). The Presidential Handwriting File, as created by the White House, did not contain handwriting found in staff and office files. The Library will be creating a further series of handwriting material from staff and office files. In order to provide better access to the Presidential Handwriting File, the collection has been arranged into six series. Each series is arranged chronologically by the date of the document. Each document has been marked with the appropriate WHORM: Subject File category and a six digit tracking number.
