MAM ANNUAL REPORT-DEC 1/3/06 11:46 AM Page 3 MISSOULA ART MUSEUM / ANNUAL REPORT 2005 MAM Mission MAM’s 30th year was literally groundbreaking. On a very cold day in January 2005 we The Missoula Art Museum educates, blessed and broke ground on a long-held dream to renovate, restore and expand MAM’s challenges and inspires the community building, to an extent that will astound you when finished. MAM’s capital campaign through contemporary art. The Museum fundraising efforts were fruitful, bringing us closer and closer to our $5 million goal. preserves our emerging cultural heritage And we experienced a successful year of operation in the Temporary Contemporary in through the development and conservation the historic Florence Building, thanks to faithful patronage. of its art collection. Adopted, Board of Directors, May 2005 MAM’s Board of Directors defines the term ‘working board.’ Board members provided leadership on several major initiatives during the 2004/05 year, successfully leading MAM’s capital campaign, negotiating a financing package for construction, selecting a contractor and managing construction through MAM’s Building Committee, forming an Auction Committee, which is busy planning MAM’s 34th auction for February 4, 2006. Kevin Wilkerson and Frank D’Andraia left the board due to new professional directions and we wish them well. The MAM staff is no doubt the best in the west. The challenge of moving the museum into temporary quarters and continuing to present exhibitions, education and events full tilt, while assisting with the capital campaign and with building development has certainly proved their mettle. MAM’s has been a remarkably stable staff but change is inevitable. This was Eva Dunn-Froebig’s fourth and, unfortunately, last year as Development & Communications Specialist, having made the decision to stay at home with her first child. Happily, Pam Adams joined the staff in April and took the reins as Office Manager. The extent of MAM’s programming and outreach during a state of transition characterizes the dynamic nature of our small museum. MAM not only continued to offer Missoula dynamic exhibitions, education and dazzling events but also commissioned a portfolio of prints, now touring to over 60 venues throughout the region and nation; lent objects from MAM’s collection to other museums; and acquired many new artworks to the collection. All of this is made possible by the good faith efforts of several hundred people who support MAM, including dedicated volunteers, many members, helpful colleagues, our amazing artist community, supportive elected officials and generous patrons, foundations and funding agencies. MAM made some significant new friends in this remarkable year and also lost several dear ones. We urge you to stick with us in 2005 as we continue to literally and figuratively build for the future.
