Annual Report Editor: Jennifer Webb | Designer: POPcreative Acting Director’s Message MOA Director Anthony Shelton began a much-deserved one year sabbatical in March 2011, and I am honoured to serve as Acting Director in his absence. While on leave, Anthony will be completing a number of book manuscripts, attending several conferences, and researching two exhibits that will be featured at MOA after he returns in March 2012.

MOA is fortunate to have an outstandingly talented and creative staff, and we are working hard to ensure the success of our exhibits, public programs, teaching, and research in the year ahead. As you will read in this Report, highlights for 2010-11 included three extraordinary exhibits: Border Zones: New Art Across Cultures, Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens, and Signed Without Signature: Works by Charles and Isabella Edenshaw, which launched the newly refur- bished O’Brian Gallery. MOA also established a presence at the downtown Satellite Gallery, supported by the Michael O’Brian Family Foundation. This year was also signifi cant as MOA received a generous donation from Dr. Yosef Wosk, OBC, to complete the installation of the Refl ecting Pool outside the Museum, fulfi lling the vision of MOA Architect Arthur Erickson and landscape architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. In addition, MOA was able to renovate our two Haida Houses, replacing the large cedar roof beams and planks, installing a cedar fl oor, lights, heaters, and a new washroom, making these buildings usable for school groups and other cultural events. As always, MOA greatly relies on the support we receive from our dedicated volunteers. MOA has a committed corps of Volunteer Associ- ates who work in all areas of the Museum, delivering education programs, offering gallery tours and information, working with the collections, library, and archives, and overseeing openings and public events. In addition, MOA is grateful to its External Advisory Board members who provide valuable support and advice to help MOA realize its full potential. We are also grateful for the efforts of a newly-formed volunteer committee, chaired by Mrs. Nezhat Khosrowshahi, which has been instrumental in the planning and development for MOA’s much-anticipated exhibition, Safar/Voyage: From Geographies to Inner Landscapes in Arab, Iranian, and Turkish Contemporary Art, planned for 2013.
