MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR

Art historian Kenneth Clark's phrase "masterpieces are many layers thick" summons the various activities and components (mission, vision and people) that comprise the uniqueness of BAM, Idaho's art museum.

The core of this layering is the quality of art that BAM presents and acquires. This past year, the Museum presented its first international exhibition, Degas in Bronze: The Complete Sculptures, and simultaneously presented a spectacular glass exhibition by William Morris, Myth, Object, and the Animal. BAM's curatorial team originated three exhibitions accompanied by catalogs: John Grade: Sculpture and Drawings; The 2004 Idaho Triennial; and James Castle: Drawings, Constructions and Books from the Collection of the Boise Art Museum. BAM acquired more than 50 new works of art for its permanent collection, including a Diego Rivera watercolor and 20 works by Northwest artists, including Morris Graves and Guy Anderson.

An equally important layer is the delivery of programs and the direct impact these programs have upon the lives of the Museum's many thousands of visitors that come from Boise, the Treasure Valley and neighboring states. This intersection of art and audience is extremely powerful, and last year more than 75,000 people visited the Museum. BAM's educational staff, accompanied by a cadre of 50 docents, provided hands-on educational programs to 11,000 school children via the Free School Tour program. An additional 3,100 students were the beneficiaries of BAM's ArtReach program that delivers the Museum experience directly to rural area classrooms. The importance of these programs is vital to the education of all Idaho students.

Naturally, there are many passionate people that constitute yet another layer of the masterpiece. Foremost, I thank my staff, truly a dedicated group of professionals. Secondly, I thank John Corddry, President, for his leadership, and the enormous amount of time, energy, and commitment he put forth. The Board of Trustees, individually and collectively, contributed immeasurably. I thank all of BAM's exhibit sponsors, individual donors, members, and affiliate groups, as well as the Beaux Arts Société. Lastly, I thank past Trustees, and the co-Chairs of the Museum's National Advisory Council, Paul and Charlotte Corddry, for their foresight in helping lead BAM into the future by generously awarding the Museum with a $250,000 challenge grant.

I think you will agree, masterpieces are many layers thick, and I thank you for contributing to BAM - Idaho's art museum.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

This past year was a very exciting year at BAM.

Tim Close, Executive Director, and his staff continue to push the level of programming at BAM to higher levels. Their dedication and hard work is a constant reminder of the Museum's vision "to be a nationally recognized regional art museum."

BAM once again raised the exhibition bar, showing Degas in Bronze and William Morris: Myth, Object and the Animal simultaneously during the summer of 2004. The combination of the two exhibitions was visually stunning.

The Museum continued with excellent exhibitions throughout the fall and winter, including two that were noted in Art in America magazine. Katy Stone's installation Fall and John Grade's Sculpture and Drawings both received accolades in an article written by local art critic Chris Schnoor.

To open the John Grade: Sculpture and Drawings exhibition, the artist was on hand for a party for members and the public. After a short lecture on his work, John took a few hours to mingle with patrons and answer their questions. There were several other opportunities to hear guest speakers who visited BAM this past year, including collector Jordan Schnitzer, artist Katy Stone and philosopher Arthur Danto, just to name a few. This type of personal interaction is rarely found in larger museums, but has become a staple to BAM patrons. The Museum's lecture series needs to be on your schedule. You will not be disappointed making an evening out of one of BAM's lectures.

Art in the Park, BAM's largest fundraiser, took place as always this past September. While the weather prevented AIP from achieving its budgeted numbers, it continued its long tradition of being one of the Valley's premier fall outdoor events. Art in the Park remains a vital fundraiser for BAM, accounting for nearly 20% of our revenue.

September also brought the largest individual donation for operational funds in the Museum's history, a $250,000 challenge grant put forth by Paul and Charlotte Corddry. The subsequent response to the challenge has been swift and impressive. To date, commitments of $133,000 have been made toward the challenge grant. The generosity of our community and its art patrons continues to amaze.

The Beaux Arts Société continued their support of the Museum with signature events - The Holiday Sale in the winter and the annual Wine Festival in the spring. Both events were a great success, with the Museum receiving the proceeds. BAM thanks BAS for all their hard work and generosity that we depend upon.

Preparations for the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibit were beginning as our fiscal year was wrapping up and the summer was about to start. BAM will continue to bring top-notch exhibitions and programming in the upcoming years - get ready to be impressed. The only way this is possible is through the countless people who support BAM with their time and financial contributions. I would like to thank the patrons of BAM and the BAM auxiliaries for all of their continued support. Collectors Forum, Friends of Art, the Docents, and the National Advisory Council all enable BAM to function at the highest of levels.

I wrote this letter shortly after attending the 2005 Mayor's Arts Awards, an annual event which recognizes a few of the artists, individuals and corporations that make Boise's art scene tick. The banquet room at the Grove Hotel was sold out, and the audience got a glimpse of a few of the key players in our arts community. As I watched the event unfold, I could not help but think how fortunate we are to have the support of the City and the Arts Commission. Idaho is a great place to be involved in the arts.

Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving as BAM's president this past year. Your Museum is truly a special place.

Very Sincerely,

John Corddry President, 2004–2005 3 2b BAM AR 06 RGB 2/22/06 4:33 PM Page 4

PRIMARY EXHIBITIONS Degas in Bronze The Complete Sculptures June 19 – September 19, 2004

This exhibit offered a rare opportunity to view all 73 sculptures by French Impressionist artist Edgar Degas (1834-1917). Drawn from the collection of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Brazil—one of only four complete sets of Degas’ bronzes in existence—this stunning exhibition featured bronzes cast posthumously (under the auspices of Degas’ heirs) from the artist’s original wax and clay models of his celebrated bathers, horses, and dancers. In the 1870s, Degas emerged as a prominent member of the French Impressionists, a group of artists whose work cap- tured a spontaneous, visual impression of a scene through light, color, or motion. Through his innovative compositions, skillful drawing, and perceptive analysis of movement, Degas was an acknowledged master at portraying the figure in motion. Organized by Joseph S. Czestochowski, International Arts, Memphis, Tennessee, from the collections of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, São Paulo, Brazil.

Education

During FY 2004–05, more than 20,000 people from across the state participated in BAM-organized educational programs. In support of its mission, the Museum’s education programs provide visitors with opportunities for meaningful experiences with artwork in the galleries. Programs complement and extend the learning that takes place naturally in the galleries, advancing art as an integral component of personal expression and the human learning experience.
