ANNUAL REPORT 2016 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

A REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS This year Museum London celebrated its 36th year at the Forks of the Thames with the launch of a project that we think will redefine our place at the Forks. Our Centre at the Forks project will engage Londoners and visitors alike by delivering innovation in Museum design and programming while contributing to the revitalization of the Forks of the Thames. The Centre at the Forks will also showcase an expansive, panoramic two-story window and an outdoor terrace, linking Museum London and the Forks of the Thames in a dynamic new relationship at the historic heart of London. Design work and fundraising began in 2016, construction begins in 2017, and we anticipate completion in early 2018. 2016 was also another strong year for providing our community with an outstanding array of art exhibitions including The Desire to Acquire, a look at the numerous public and private art collections in London, Chronologues, a group exhibition of contemporary art examines issues of memory and time, through personal narratives and larger, shared histories, and A Ripple Effect: Canadians and Fresh Water which examined the story of Canadians’ relationship with fresh water by focusing on the Thames, Speed, and Eramosa rivers. Other exhibitions included Akram Zaatari: Tomorrow Everything will be Alright, the first Canadian solo exhibition of celebrated Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari, TransAMERICAS: a sign, a situation, a concept, an exhibition of Latin American artists addressing themes of community, travel, and language, as well as Cursive! Reading and Writing the Old School Way, and Out with the Old? Creating a ‘Throw-Away’ Society All these exhibitions were complemented by an impressive program schedule that included artist talks, films exploring the themes highlighted in the exhibitions, as well as stand-alone projects on topics of interest to the community. We continued our successful partnerships with London’s literary festival WORDS and the Public Matter lectures, as well with our involvement with Doors Open and Culture Days. Our downtown walking tours were a hit again this year, as was the Museum Underground’s annual Halloween party, Fright Night. We also reached into the community through our partnership in Satellite Gallery, a collaborative exhibition space run by Museum London, Bealarts, Western University and Fanshawe College. And we introduced our new Culture Club 55+ seniors program to a very positive response. Working with our dedicated group of volunteer tour guides, we were able to provide curriculum-based tours of our exhibitions and hands-on learning in our studio to 11,729 elementary and secondary students in 2016. In addition, students learned about Museum London’s collections of art and artifacts through digital programming both at the Museum and in their schools. Two BOARD REPORT CONTINUED

new Smart board programs were created in 2016, one featuring artwork from the Museum’s collections and one focusing on the “A Ripple Effect” exhibition. The February 2016 Making Art Creating Community Program marked the 14th year that London Life has supported programming at Museum London serving “at risk” youth. The focus of the 2016 London Life MACC Program was on the theme of “work and play” and students had the opportunity to experience a series of work and play themed exhibitions at Museum London. The original artwork served to inspire the students in their own art creation. 159 students from 6 six schools participated in the 2016 MACC Program. Museum London launched a new version of its Art Outreach Program in April and May, 2016. The Program included a new Smart board presentation featuring artwork from the Museum’s collections, and a series of eight new in-class art projects. A total of 1,016 students from 13 different “underserved” schools participated. Following the outreach at their schools, the students had the opportunity to visit Museum London, through a subsidized field trip. Included among the students served in the outreach programs were a number of Syrian Refugee children for whom this was their first visit to a Canadian museum. The Museum is very fortunate to receive significant funding annually from the City of London, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the Ontario Arts Council, but our ability to provide engaging experiences is bolstered by the financial support we receive from the community. Thanks go to Debra Majer and the volunteer committee who helped us organize our second annual Blank Canvas event, bringing together works by more than 30 local and national artists and raising money for our children’s programming. We are also especially grateful to the artists who donated their work to the event. Museum London values the generosity of its donors who responded very positively throughout the past year. These individuals and organizations make it possible for us to preserve and tell the story of London and Londoners through art, artifacts, and programming. We sincerely thank all our active and committed volunteers — our tour guides, board and committee members, gift shop volunteers, and many others—who have done exceptional work to support the Museum this past year and throughout the Museum's history. Volunteers are the heart of the Museum and in 2016 we saw a massive increase in their support. More than 181 volunteers contributed 10,398 hours of service and we thank each of these volunteers for making the Museum a better place. And finally, we welcomed a new staff member, Anita Bidinosti, who replaced our Curator of Public Programs, Dianne Pearce, who left us after eight years to take up a position in Oakville, Ontario. 2016 was a great year for Museum London and we look forward to even better things in 2017.
