1 FROM THE DIRECTOR AND BOARD CHAIR

Usually, annual report messages from governance and leadership follow “looking back/looking ahead” schemes. But, this being 2020—like everything else—our message is different this year. What feels right is to offer a report from the middle of things—a perspective on the priorities of twenty-first-century museum practice; how we are continuing to rise to the challenges of a prolonged pandemic with equal measures of caution and creativity, and how, with courage and compassion, we are entering the conversation and engaging in action demanded by the social justice movements of this time.

In Spring 2020, with the many uncertainties of the pandemic unfolding around us, we set a goal of emerging from this better than we were before. We learned to look for the good in the bad, we began to recognize that what once felt like wants were now needs and reallocated resources to realize priority projects, and we have come to appreciate that the Chinese word for “crisis” is made up of the characters for “fear” and “opportunity.” As we work towards Spring 2021, we will continue to work from this mindset, with both grit and grace, as we leverage both the best of the virtual and actual worlds—offering safe choices online and onsite—for the greatest good and life learning of our beloved community.

A Radical Re-opening What do these worlds look like? Our virtual world includes a new website that allows us to tell our stories and share our content in ways that are more relevant, compelling, and accessible. Our actual world now features an activated garden gate entrance and elevated security and hospitality that are blossoming into a dynamic visitor services practice.

2 Race, Unrest, and Museums The cross-cutting themes that bind these We believe that museums have a responsibility to touchstone documents and inform our thoughts leverage their best for the public’s best, that we and actions include: engagement—broadening have a social responsibility to the communities representation/resonance/relevance, leveraging we seek to serve. This includes matters of racial exhibitions, programs, strategic communications inequity—so relevant to our city and region’s past to drive participation; inclusivity—repositioning and present, an issue where to be silent today, the museum to deepen its reflectivity of a 21st to be less than bold…is to be complicit. As the century Montgomery/River Region—internally, recently-departed, Alabama-bred congressman externally; and sustainability—of our art John Lewis said, and said again—we are all called collections, finances, operations, and professional to get into “good trouble, necessary trouble…” reputation.

We are not short on literature, resources, and In addition, we envision ourselves as key examples of practice to help us determine contributors to re-investing in our public schools what to do and what not to do in this realm. and, most importantly, our students.

They also align with the comprehensive plan of our public-side partners at City Hall. The synchronicity of both the spirit and letter of the MMFA and Reed Administration plans seem to speak to their truth and place at the heart of our Angie Dodson Cathy Martin community’s present and future.

4 THE NEW YORK TIMES | CORNER OFFICE SMITHSONIAN’S LEADER SAYS ‘MUSEUMS HAVE A SOCIAL JUSTICE ROLE TO PLAY’ Lonnie Bunch, who oversees a host of museums and libraries, says the role of cultural institutions is to make people “feel comfortable with nuance and complexity.” By David Gelles

In 2005, Lonnie G. Bunch III became the founding we’re also going to think carefully about how we director of the National Museum of African social distance within the museum.

Just over a decade later, the museum Should museums wait until events are squarely opened on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in the past to confront them? Or is there a need to rave reviews and huge crowds. for institutions like your own to engage with these issues in something closer to real time? Last year, Mr. Bunch became the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, overseeing the museum Cultural institutions, regardless of the subject he founded, along with a few dozen other matter, have to be as much about today and museums and libraries, and even the National Zoo. tomorrow as they are about yesterday. And that really means that one of the jobs of cultural The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered those institutions is to collect today for tomorrow. We institutions for the time being, but Mr. Bunch has have people out collecting during the different stayed busy. The Smithsonian is launching new protests. We have people around the country digital tools intended to facilitate a dialogue about sending us the videos that they shoot on race, and Mr. Bunch is engaged in the debate their cameras. But collecting isn’t enough. So about the removal of controversial statues and we’ve created a major initiative that looks at monuments. race, community and our shared future. It’s an opportunity for the Smithsonian to say, “How do This conversation, which was condensed and we help stimulate local conversations around edited for clarity, was part of a series of live Corner race?” Office calls to discuss the pandemic and the protests. Many people say that this moment feels different, that it feels like there’s the potential Where does the Smithsonian stand when it for real change. As a Black man yourself, who comes to reopening? is not only a student of history, but a steward of history, does it feel different to you? The reality is that this is not business as usual. One of the great strengths of museums is they I am hopeful, but not always optimistic. I’m bring people together who don’t know each other hopeful because I see how often African- to look at an artifact or explore an exhibition. Well, Americans believed in an America that didn’t all that gets called into question this year. We will believe in them, how often they dreamed a have to do something like timed passes to control world that wasn’t there yet, and then worked the number of people. Because the one thing we strategically with allies to make that happen. Who don’t want is crowds of people standing outside, would have believed in 1820 that there would be waiting to get in. That’s a recipe for disaster. But no slavery? Who would’ve believed in 1920 that

I simple answers to complex questions. So the am taken by the diversity of people that are in challenge is to use history to help the public feel the streets.

I’m taken by the fact that some police chiefs and This is of course playing out right now in real some police officers are recognizing that their time with the nationwide debate around taking institution has to change, because it has reflected down some statues and monuments. How do a kind of systematic racism where the police are you think about what is appropriate? considered not the friends of a community, but an The notion of simply pulling down statues means enemy of the community. So all of that suggests that you’re not really bringing historical insight. that this just may be a time of transformation.

So I do worry a little bit that So for me, it is about making sure we don’t forget this could turn into that as well. what those statues symbolize.

How do we get people to engage For years there was a view that museums with these difficult chapters in our history, were sort of temples, places where artifacts especially when the legacy of some of these could be collected and preserved and perhaps incidents is still very much with us today? interpreted in a scholarly way, and that was Americans in some ways want to romanticize about it. That has changed over the years, history. They want selective history. As the great and many now argue that museums are really John Hope Franklin used to say, you need to use places for public gathering, for dialogue and African-American history as a corrective, to help that it is appropriate for museums to really people understand the fullness, the complexity, engage in the issues of the day and perhaps the nuance of their history. I know that’s hard. I even take a point of view. Where do you fall on remember receiving a letter once that said, “Don’t that? you understand that America’s greatest strength I believe very strongly that museums have a is its ability to forget?” And there’s something social justice role to play, that museums have an powerful about that.

Museums always take a point of view by what It’s crucially important to recognize that in they choose to exhibit and what they decide not to museums, you need to have people who care exhibit. about a variety of subjects in positions of influence, like curatorial positions. That means that I’m not expecting museums to engage in partisan it’s crucially important to have a diversity, not just politics. What I’m expecting museums to be is of race or ethnicity, but of ideas, to be able to sort driven by scholarship and the community. I want of make sure that cultural institution is grappling museums to be a place that gives the public not with interesting questions that help the public. just what it wants, but what it needs.

So the then so be it.

A grant that focuses on DEAI work has been submitted to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to fund large scale changes. In the meantime, the upcoming year will focus heavily upon the DEAI team working together to push forward initiatives that will help the institution become a welcoming and inclusive place.

13 JOAN BYCK LOEB APRIL 11, 1931–FEBRUARY 15, 2020

A great art museum is the result of the work of many hands over multiple centuries. Europe’s great public art collections are a byproduct of royal and aristocratic patronage of artists and craftsmen, while America’s are the happy result of public-spirited, democratic ideals of service for the common good. Many of the finest art museums in the United States were born of the dedication and investment of philanthropists. From large metropolises to smaller cities, private donations of art and funds sowed seeds that eventually blossomed into great art collecting institutions.

The MMFA is an example of this distinctly- American cultural phenomenon. Beginning with the leadership of women such as the Museum’s first President, May Houghton, and donations from artists like Wetumpka’s John Kelly Fitzpatrick, the Museum first flourished because of a passion for public service and education. Houghton and Fitzpatrick were the first of many donors of resources and art, a long roster that denotes extraordinary, philanthropic generosity; on that roster, the name Joan Byck Loeb holds a very special place.

Traditionally art museum supporters assume one, at most two, specific duties, but Joan Loeb embraced many roles in her more than 20 years as a Museum trustee and donor. Joan was devoted to the gamut: gathering funds or Top: Worcester Porcelain Factory (English, established 1751) (left to right), Plate, about 1768–1770, porcelain, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James Lucien Loeb, 2020.2.8; other resources for projects, supporting the Teapot and Cover, about 1760, porcelain, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James Lucien Loeb, 2020.2.13; Chestnut Basket, about 1765–1770, porcelain, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James educational mission, and focusing attention on Lucien Loeb, 2020.2.4; Plate, about 1770, porcelain, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. James identifying objects to enhance the permanent Lucien Loeb, 2020.2.9 collection.

Participants and explore artwork in person are experiences that would register for the class through MTRC, visit help our participants learn and grow as artists and the Museum, then create original works of art individuals.

17 CELEBRATING 90 YEARS + ANTICIPATING 100

In the midst of all else, 2020 marked the Museum’s 90th year as an institution. Rather than sorting out a way to celebrate this milestone mid-pandemic, we found ourselves contemplating our Centennial in 2030, when there will most certainly be a celebration to end all others! Aside from all the jubilation, however, we wonder: If we continue to plan our work and work our plan, who will we be at 100? Audaciously, we envision the following. Widely regarded across the River Region as a trusted cultural center, Museum visitation continues to grow year after year, getting ever- nearer to the 250,000/year mark. Our exhibitions continue to pack ‘em in, as do our large-scale annual events. Participants who first find their way to the Museum because of an exhibition or event now return regularly to participate in our ongoing programs for youth and adults, and visitors of all ages continue to flock to our recently-reinvigorated ArtWorks—its interactive spaces, studios, and galleries. Entire grade levels from public school systems around the Region experience a museum visit that connects to and enhances core curricula. Travelers visiting Montgomery as part of their Civil Rights pilgrimages include the Museum as a must- see destination in their itineraries. Together, the local community as a whole contributes to the Museum’s full value from our unique upbringings and individual perspectives.

23 24 REINSTALLATION AND INTERPRETATION OF THE BLOUNT COLLECTION In 1988, the Museum opened in Blount Cultural Park with a new collection of American paintings under its new roof. This group of forty-one paintings, given by Blount, Inc., instantly elevated the Museum’s holdings, making its American painting collection one of the finest in the Southeast. For the next 30+ years, the Blount Collection works were rarely removed from their assigned places in the galleries. In 2018, staff identified a refresh of the interpretation of the permanent collection as a priority within the strategic plan. Over the summer of 2019, a team of curators and educators eked out time in their busy schedules to develop a “voice” for new permanent collection labels, beginning with the Blount paintings. With an agreed-upon approach in place, the challenge then became: when and how to develop and install these new visitor-centered “chats” in the midst of all else always going on at the Museum. Enter the 2020 pandemic. With the Museum’s galleries closed to the public for seven months, staff seized the opportunity to repaint the galleries, reorganize the installation of the works, and— alas—reinvigorate those labels. Today’s visitors experience Blount Collection galleries replete with new, visually striking groupings of works and labels crafted with visitor resonance and relevance in mind. And, this is only the beginning. In the months and years to come, visitors will come to enjoy similarly reimagined permanent collection galleries throughout the Museum. We are delighted to realize this strategic priority as it better positions us to welcome into the Museum a wider range of River Region residents and visitors and to further-strengthen our renown as a vibrant cultural resource in the Southeastern region and well beyond.
