ANNUAL REPORT 2017 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

A REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2017 saw celebrate its 37th year at the Forks of the Thames and we started construction on our Centre at the Forks initiative, a project that we think will redefine our place at this location. Centre at the Forks, slated to be in operation this summer, will engage Londoners and visitors alike by delivering innovation in Museum design and programming while contributing to the revitalization of the Forks of the Thames. The project will showcase an expansive, panoramic two-story window and an outdoor terrace, linking Museum London and the Forks of the Thames in a dynamic new relationship at the historic heart of London. Although we are not open yet, the response of those who have toured the construction site has been overwhelmingly positive and we are excited to share it with the community. 2017 was also another strong year for providing our community with an outstanding array of art and history exhibitions. To celebrate ’s sesquicentennial, the Museum mounted Highlights from 150 Years of Art-Making in London alongside Canadian Eh? A History of the Nation’s Signs and Symbols. We explored the nature of sight and sound with the exhibitions Sparrow Night, Sounds Assembling, and Airwaves: Radio and TV in London, as well as featuring exhibitions that documented the careers of artist Brian Jones and Robert Fones. All these exhibitions were complemented by an expansive program schedule led by our new Curator of Public Programs Anita Bidinosti. While continuing to run our numerous family drop-ins, children’s camps, adult art classes, history walks, and seniors’ talks, the Museum also began expanding its innovative programming. To celebrate the start of the Centre of the Forks construction, Billy Bert Young was hired to design the hoarding mural Mitosis at the Forks and invited the community to help paint it in. Other notable events included social-innovator Zita Cobb’s talk, hosted with Western University, about using the arts to reinvigorate communities and economies such as she did on Fogo Island. We created the White Out event, in partnership with the Grand Theatre, to encourage audiences of the play Art to view and discuss minimalist painting from the Museum’s collections and the Tangled Arts and Disability group held their day long Festival in the Museum. We hosted our largest Canada Day event ever with close to 2,000 visitors participating in our sesquicentennial programs including discussions and activities in response to Witness Blanket, the residential school memorial, brought to Museum London in partnership with the London Community Foundation. The Hot Docs Festival showcase came to the Museum from Toronto in October and in November Londoners had an opportunity to meet Governor General Award Winning Londoner Robert Fones, hear him talk about his art, and participate in a painting workshop led by the artist. We also reached into the community through our partnership in Satellite Gallery, a collaborative exhibition space run by Museum London, Bealarts, Western University and , and we continued with year three of our Culture Club 55+ seniors’ program to a very positive response. During the construction of the Centre of the Forks in 2017, Museum London maintained a full slate of education programming. With the help of our dedicated tour guides we served a total of 11,729 participants in programming that included BOARD REPORT CONTINUED

curriculum-based tours of the art and history exhibitions and hands-on art-making in our temporary studio space. The February 2017 Making Art Creating Community Program marked the 15th year that London Life has supported programming at Museum London serving “at risk” youth. Metis artist and educator, Brenda Collins taught the program to 155 elementary students from six schools. The focus of the MACC Program was on “Canada 150” and Brenda led the students through a series of art-making workshops that included acrylic painting, working with felt, modeling with clay and making beaded wampum belts. Each class also made a community artwork that depicted symbols that expressed their sense of Canadian identity. Throughout the program, Brenda shared her Indigenous knowledge with the students. At the MACC Program Reception, which took place on March 7, 2017, one group of students said: We enjoyed learning because it wasn’t boring. For some of us, making art was better than being on electronics because it helped our imaginations to grow. We are studying First Nations in class so it was fun to see and make things that we are learning about in Social Studies. Brenda taught us about First Nations and how to be respectful and contributing members of our community. A highlight of the 2017 Education Program, was the Canada 150: A Student Exhibition. Museum London invited elementary and secondary students to reflect on the theme of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation and create artwork in a variety of media. Important moments in Canadian history, the diversity of Canadian people and the richness of our country’s culture all served as inspiration for the student artwork. Students submitted their art and approximately 80 pieces were selected for the exhibition. At an opening reception held at Museum London the student artists proudly showed off their artwork to their family and friends. The Museum is very fortunate to receive significant funding annually from the City of London, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Ontario Arts Council. Additionally, our ability to provide engaging experiences is bolstered by the financial support we receive from the community. Museum London values the generosity of its donors who responded very positively throughout the past year. These individuals and organizations make it possible for us to preserve and tell the story of London and Londoners through art, artifacts, and programming. We sincerely thank all our active and committed volunteers — our tour guides, board and committee members, gift shop volunteers, and many others — who have done exceptional work to support the Museum this past year and throughout the Museum’s history. Volunteers are the heart of the Museum and in 2017 we saw a massive increase in their support. Our 200 volunteers contributed 10,984 hours of service and we thank each of these volunteers for making the Museum a better place. 2017 was a great year for Museum London and we look forward to even better things in 2018.
