ANNUAL REPORT 2018 2018 ANNUAL REPORT

A REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2018 saw Museum London celebrate its 38th year at the Forks of the Thames, and the major highlight of the year was the opening of our Centre at the Forks initiative at the end of September. In its first seven months the Centre at the Forks has lived up to the hopes that we had for it becoming a space that 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 showcases 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. The community has embraced the space by holding a wide variety of events and programs in the Centre. 2018 was also another strong year for providing our community with an outstanding array of art and history exhibitions. Visual art exhibition highlights included Embodiment during the spring cycle, BGL: Spectacle + Problems and Kelly Jazvac’s Lamina Stamina during the summer months and, Words and Pictures and Bev Pike: Grottesque in the fall. Our historical exhibitions featured Women’s Lives in Canada: A History, 1875–2000, Guilty Pleasures and Bad Habits: Alcohol, Caffeine, Tobacco, and…, Ting: The Life and Work of Merle Tingley, and the award-winning, Voices of Chief’s Point. All these exhibitions were complemented by an expansive education program. Most notably we moved the Clare Bice Studio space from the temporary location in the Lawson Gallery into its bright new home in the Centre at the Forks in September. The new studio is accessible by elevator and fully equipped for our family drop-ins, children’s camps, youth council, adult art classes, and workshops. We revised our summer walks to include a participatory nature writing tour of the Thames, broadened our Culture Club talks to address local issues including a discussion of addiction, and piloted a sustainable art workshop for Earth Hour. In seeking to find ways of making art practice more accessible to the public we offered sold-out card-making workshops and even offered a chocolate tasting event to link local business with exhibition themes in Guilty Pleasures. Our children’s summer art camps continue to expand in registration and sell out as a staple program at the Museum. Popular community events continued to run throughout the year including Museum-wide free activities on Family Day, Canada Day, and during Doors Open. Innovative community collaborations at the Museum included hosting the Inclusive Arts London Festival which develop opportunities for deaf, disabled, and isolated artists, bringing in Ojibway storyteller Aaron Hill, and premiering the London Arts Council performance of “Invitation to Korean Mountain” to launch the Centre at the Forks. We also reached into the community through our partnership in the SATELLiTE Gallery, a collaborative exhibition space run by Museum London, Western University and Fanshawe College, and we continued with year four of our Culture Club 55+ seniors’ program to a very positive response. BOARD REPORT CONTINUED

2018 was a time of excitement for our education programs, as we planned for and utilized the new Centre to support the success of current programs, strategized new directions, and dreamed about new possibilities for future programs. A wide variety of education programming was provided both at the Museum and out in the community. For the 16th year, London Life generously supported the Making Art Creating Community Program. Métis artist-educator, Brenda Collins, integrated her Indigenous knowledge and teachings into a series of art-making workshops for underserved students. The impact of the MACC Program on students was evident in the feedback received. According to one teacher, “a student who made no effort in art before was enjoying success; a student who had anxiety mentioned how comfortable she felt at the museum,” and yet another student said that “she would like to work at the museum when she was older.” Almost 1,000 students participated in the 2018 London Life Art Outreach Program during the months of April and May. Museum London’s tour guides visited 16 different schools and provided programming to 45 classes. Teachers were very pleased with the Art Outreach Program. A kindergarten teacher at Knollwood Park Public School wrote, “Your tour guides came to deliver a wonderful program to my kindergarten class this morning. They were excellent teachers, and we had such a great time creating our works of art! It was well-thought out, time- appropriate, age-appropriate, doable for the diverse needs of the students, and highly engaging. The whole experience was lovely.” We continued to add to our art collection in 2018 with the acquisition of works by BGL and Sky Glabush. We also focused on strengthening our representation of Indigenous artists with the purchase of works by Shuvinai Ashoona. Our material culture collection was greatly enhanced by hundreds of objects given by dozens of generous donors in the community. 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. Museum London values the great 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. And we sincerely thank all our active and committed volunteers—our capital campaign volunteers, 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 it’s history. Volunteers are the heart of the Museum and in 2018 we saw a massive increase in their support. Our 189 volunteers contributed 11,190 hours of service and we thank each of these volunteers for making the Museum a better place. 2018 was a watershed year for Museum London and we look forward to building on these accomplishments in 2019.
