  • From the Chairman of The
    ANNUAL REPORT 2016 FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO SHARE WITH YOU THIS REVIEW OF 2016 — A YEAR OF RESILIENCE FOR THE CUMMER MUSEUM OF ART & GARDENS. Each day on our campus, arts, gardens, and education converge to create meaningful personal experiences and open a world of new possibilities to all of the citizens of Jacksonville. As a vital community partner, the Museum reaches out to diverse audiences and the entire community through outstanding artistic offerings, dynamic learning experiences, and opportunities to participate in the beauty of the natural world. During 2016, nearly 165,000 individuals of all ages, demographics, backgrounds, and interests, from Jacksonville and beyond, took advantage of all we have to offer. Throughout this report, you will be able to revisit some of the highlights from last year, and hear directly from members, donors, volunteers, partners, artists, and others about their experiences at the Cummer Museum. This report also demonstrates the Museum’s impact beyond our walls. Innovative adaptations of the permanent collection, like the Outings Project, brought images from the collection out into the urban core. The award- winning book, "The Chef’s Canvas," featured local chefs who created new recipes inspired by their favorite works of art. Our various outreach programs in the school system and other community locations impacted 16,929 local students and adults, demonstrating that the Cummer Museum is committed to bringing our mission to life even for those who can’t visit our campus. Although 2016 included the disappointing loss of the former Woman’s Club building and the decision by Director Hope McMath to step down, we also celebrated 55 years as a vibrant institution and continued to pursue the goal of being the “center of beauty and culture” envisioned by Ninah Cummer.
