On February 10, 2017, as part of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of SAM’s downtown expansion, we unveiled Middle Fork, a large-scale ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017 sculpture suspended over the Brotman Forum, which follows the contours of a western hemlock tree from the Cascades. First conceived for and fabricated at Seattle’s MadArt Studio by Seattle artist John Grade, the original work was 40 feet long and more than doubled in length for its installation at SAM. Assembled by hundreds of local volunteers using pieces of old-growth cedar, Middle Fork is a poignant emblem to frame visitors’ experiences at the downtown museum. A milestone for SAM’s collection was the arrival of over 90 works of 20th-century art, donated by Virginia and Bagley Wright in fiscal year 2016. The Wrights’ visionary leadership and support over six decades broadened SAM’s artistic program to incorporate the art of our time. This gift was commemorated in an installation throughout the Modern and Contemporary Art Galleries entitled Big Picture: Art After 1945, which opened on July 23, 2016. Landmark works of abstract expressionism by Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman shared the stage with pop masterpieces by Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns and the minimalism of Agnes Martin and Robert Morris. The installation continues to evolve and take on new forms as it remains on view. As SAM celebrated 10 years in the expanded building, dynamic special exhibitions filled the galleries with a range of themes and programming that featured the graphic arts, textiles and design, painting, film, large-scale installations, and more. These exhibitions were united by SAM’s mission of connecting art to life.

THROUGH THE EYES OF ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017 GREAT ARTISTS

Seeing Nature: Landscape Masterworks from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection presented landscape paintings from Seattle collector Paul G. Allen. Organized in partnership with the Portland Art Museum and the Paul G. Allen Family Collection, the exhibition toured nationally before returning to its hometown in spring 2017. The exhibition explores the evolution of European and American landscape painting over 400 years through masterpieces by artists such as Canaletto, J. M. W. Turner, Thomas Moran, David Hockney, and Gerhard Richter. The centerpiece of the show was a group of stunning Impressionist works including one of Monet’s late, immersive views of water lilies, as well as a view of Mont Sainte-Victoire by Paul Cézanne. The Conservation Department prepared and evaluated the collection prior to its national tour and along with the Registrar’s Department oversaw the installation and de-installation of the exhibition at each venue. The Education Department explored the show’s environmental themes through programming created in partnership with the National Park Service. Digital initiatives included a program for visitors to make works of art inspired by the exhibition on in-gallery touchscreens. We also experimented with a new adult workshop format conceived as a weeklong landscape painting class with Seattle artist Ryan Molenkamp.

Conservation and Museum Services staff reviewed, documented, prioritized, and packed the collection so that art handlers would be able to move objects directly to storage: 10,332 works of art were moved out of the building to temporary quarters. The Conservation Department used this process to gather condition documentation for many objects. The Conservation Department also received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to establish an Asian art conservation studio in the renovated museum that would serve the entire West Coast. In addition, thanks to funding from the Bank of America Art Conservation Project, a pair of significant Edo-period Japanese screens, titled Scenes in and around the Capital, were sent to California for major conservation work. The McCaw Foundation Library’s collection of over 30,000 volumes was moved to off-site storage in eastern Washington, with a percentage of the volumes being moved to the Bullitt Library at the Seattle Art Museum for continued use.

& INTO THE COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017

The Asian Art Museum’s final weekend of exhibitions before the renovation featured a community open house with free tours, art activities, tea tastings, and other programming. The museum closed to the public on February 27, 2017, in order to begin moving the collection. The Gardner Center for Asian Art and Ideas did not let the building’s closure interfere with its ambitious programming, bringing diverse perspectives on Asia to other locations throughout the city in a series called “Out and About.” Through a partnership with Seattle University, the winter Saturday University series “Islam Across Asia: Art Practices / Cultural Politics” included nine scholarly presentations exploring the geographic concept of Islam. The series brought lively discussions during a timely political moment, as well as scholars new to the program’s roster and a new partnership with the Seattle Public Library. When the collection move was complete, the community was invited to Off the Walls, a free, two-day celebration in September that included performances, lectures, temporary installations by local artists (Benji Anderson & Priscilla Umemoto, Romson Regarde Bustillo, Louis Chinn & Miss TANGQ, Kalina Chung, Minh Nguyen, Chris Shaw, Kenji Stoll, Tasveer, Junko Yamamoto), and other activities in the museum—an event that commemorated the building’s past while looking forward to the future, beaming bright beyond its walls.

Titled Sculptured Dance, this free public event featured five new works created by local choreographers Donald Byrd, Kiyon Gaines, Ezra Thomson, Kate Wallich, and Olivier Wevers, and was performed by dancers from Pacific Northwest Ballet, PNB School, Spectrum Dance Theater, and Whim W’Him.

FALL & WINTER MONTHS ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017

Education and Public Programs pursued new programming opportunities within the park during the fall and winter. SAM’s School and Educator Programs piloted a partnership with Highline Public Schools, providing a free tour and art workshop for every second grader in the district, which includes 32 public schools. Public Programs also launched Winter Weekends: Art Encounters at the Park, a new artist residency program that took place in the PACCAR Pavilion. The residency was designed with experimentation in mind, allowing local artists to research, develop, and present new forms of engagement and performance at the park. From January through March 2017, Seattle artist Paige Barnes debuted a participatory performance project influenced by the art and environment of the Olympic Sculpture Park. Throughout the winter, Barnes invited visitors to take part in pulse readings influenced by her professional practice in traditional Chinese medicine. Barnes choreographed and improvised movements based on visitors’ pulse readings that led to three public performances created in collaboration with numerous local musicians, poets, dancers, and visual artists.

FINANCIAL YEAR

IN REVIEW ANNUAL REPORT 2016 – 2017

Strong exhibitions drove membership, admissions, museum store, and café revenue growth year over year with accompanying increases in admissions, membership and facilities expenses to support our visitors.

Funding to support SAM comes from several sources. Earned revenue through admissions, museum store, and café sales totaled 23% of fiscal year 2017 operating revenue. Membership and fundraising event revenue provided 24% with the balance of contributed revenue providing 36%. SAM’s endowment contributed 16%. On the expense side, of the $26.7 million in total operating expenses, $18.6 million, or 70%, was program-related. Within program- related expenses, investment in education and exhibition and collection care increased 6% year over year. Accessions of art objects through purchases generally utilize donor- restricted funds and are not listed on SAM’s statement of operating activities.

As of June 30, 2017, SAM’s total net assets have grown to $292.2 million. Temporarily restricted net assets and permanently restricted net assets, including endowment and funds held in outside trusts, were $117.2 million and $147.4 million, respectively.
