ANNUAL REPORT 2013 FROM THE DIRECTOR & BOARD CHAIR

As you will see from this annual report, 2013 was a remarkable year at the Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We brought world-class experiences in the arts, gardens and education to 131,837 children and adults. We presented a varied and dynamic series of exhibitions ranging from Loïs Mailou Jones: A Life in Vibrant Color to Jim Draper: Feast of Flowers and from La Florida: 500 Years of Florida Art to Future Retro: The Great Age of the American Automobile. We shined a light on The Cummer Collection, one of our great assets, through travelling exhibitions, conservation and acquisitions.

We invested in our campus by repairing and replacing things not seen by visitors while bringing new standards of beauty and openness to what is seen. We restored and opened to the public for the first time the historic Olmsted Garden and significantly enhanced the front of the Museum through a merging of landscape, art installations, green initiatives and visitor spaces like the Cummer Café.

We continued to focus on education, serving more than 25,000 students and teachers through classroom outreach, tours and professional William Glackens (American, 1870 - 1938), The Lake, c. 1913-18, oil on canvas, 25 1/8 x 30 in., development for educators.

We celebrated all of the arts through public programming that married great music, theatrical performances and poetry to the objects in our galleries.

The exhibition season included a range of themes and educational programming: female artists, an African American master, Tsarist porcelain, a focus on Florida and a celebration of the great age of the American automobile were just a few of the highlights. There were also special opportunities to celebrate artists from our community. Jacksonville-raised photographer Elizabeth Gilbert shared her impressive photographs of Africa; Jacksonville- based artist Jim Draper unveiled a body of work inspired by the landscape of our great state; and Enzo Torcoletti, an internationally recognized sculptor residing in St. Augustine, inaugurated The Cummer’s newest exhibition space, the J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver Community Sculpture Garden & Plaza.

“ It never ceases to amaze us that some of the most compelling art we’ve experienced is just a couple of miles from our doorstep. That was certainly the case with our discovery of LoÏs Mailou Jones’ exemplary and diverse work, which we were fortunate to visit with some frequency this past fall and winter. How could we have failed to know of this extraordinary talent, ranging some 70-plus years? We are forever grateful to The Cummer for expanding our world and vision.”

Students explored the exhibition’s underlying theme of the fragility and the importance of native Florida ecosystems, and created interactive journals.

Using the Feast of Flowers tour as a prototype, the Garden tours have been revamped to incorporate science-based learning standards that include the responsibilities of citizens toward the environment. With the addition of a new science educator, the Gardens have become an outdoor gallery where design and nature are intertwined with the art inside the Museum.

“ First, how do you put into words the impact when it touched the students’ hearts and souls? One student said ‘This was the best field trip ever.’ Another said, ‘That art was AWESOME!’ In terms of student learning, they were able to see connections between what we do in school and the arts. The self-portrait helped them to see themselves. Each of my children came away with the idea that they CAN DO!”

This site, along with the English and Italian Gardens, was listed in the everything we imagined!” National Register of Historic Places in 2010. -Eileen & Kristiano Leme

“ The Cummer Gardens are among Florida’s most significant historically designed landscapes, and with the newly restored section originally designed by the Olmsted Firm, they just got better. This is the only garden in America designed by pioneering landscape architects O.C. Simonds (the original plan), Ellen Shipman (the Italian Garden), William Lyman Phillips of the Olmsted Firm, and Philadelphia nurserymen Thomas Meehan and Sons (the formal-style English Garden).”

In addition to the restoration of the Olmsted Garden, we saw several dramatic changes across The Cummer Campus. The year started with a new bulkhead for the Olmsted Garden, new front doors, and a complete renovation of the Museum’s parking lots. The lot is now more environmentally friendly, with permeable pavers to capture rain water; increased shade trees for cooling and animal habitats; and bike parking to encourage greener modes of transportation, and has receivd the Riverkeeper seal of approval. Shortly after these improvements were made, The Cummer unveiled the Weaver Community Sculpture Garden & Plaza, which includes an outdoor gallery space and expanded seating for The Café at The Cummer on an outdoor deck under magnificent live oaks.

A special thank you to the generous donors who made this possible, and to our project partners: Atlantic Engineering Services; CMS Group, LLC; Connelly & Wicker, Inc.; Elkins Constructors, Inc.; François Goffinet Limited; Richard Skinner & Associates, Architects; and Sunscapes Landscape Design, Inc. ©STEVEN BROOKE STUDIOS “ Seeing the Weaver Sculpture Garden for the first time literally took my breath away… [it is] stunning. I have visited a lot of major museums over the past few years and I believe that The Cummer, with the Gardens, the river and now our new facade, truly has the prettiest campus that I have seen – [it is] the ‘jewel box of Jacksonville.’”

–Claudia Scott, Cummer Member

Page 22 2013 Annual Report The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens PLANNED GIVING: JIM AND JOAN VAN VLECK The Museum is pleased to announce the establishment of the Jim and Joan Van Vleck Professional Development Endowment at The Cummer. With a gift of $200,000 and projected annual earnings of $10,000, this endowment reinforces their conviction that the Museum’s human resources represent its most important asset, giving life and energy to its vision.

They believe that staff members should be assured of regular opportunities for growth and development.

Jim and Joan helped shape the guiding principles of the endowment, which encourages staff members to seek development opportunities that are outward looking, broad and challenging. Each year, staff members will be encouraged to apply for development opportunities that will advance their professional goals and their role at The Cummer. The Van Vlecks believe strongly that, “The element that connects great art and fabulous gardens to our community is staff excellence.” This endowment is the most recent example of Jim and Joan’s commitment to The Cummer.

The Van Vlecks are members of the Ninah Cummer Legacy Society and The Director’s Circle, and they have funded capital projects both within the Museum and in The Cummer Gardens.

“ We invest in art. We invest in gardens. We want to make certain we always invest in staff; they give life and energy to The Cummer’s mission and vision.” Photograph courtesy of Ingrid Damiani. – Jim and Joan Van Vleck

DIRECTOR’S CIRCLE: MARTY & DICK JONES Marty and Dick Jones have grown more and more involved at The Cummer over the past 15 years. Not only are they enthusiastic participants in exhibition openings, special events and travel opportunities, but they have also become trusted advisors and informed advocates in the community. Marty is a member of The Cummer’s Board of Trustees and attributes her love of the Museum to the relationships she has built through years of volunteer work.

As their relationship with the Museum has grown, so too has their investment in The Cummer’s programs. In addition to being passionate supporters of The Cummer Gardens and special exhibitions, Marty and Dick have made a three-year commitment to support The Director’s Circle, the highest level of membership in The Cummer’s Ponce de León Society. Director’s Circle members reinforce sustainability in all Cummer programs by helping to fund special exhibitions, garden programs and education initiatives that serve thousands of adults and children each year.

Marty and Dick are committed to expanding The Cummer’s reach within the community and are eager to share their passion with others in hopes of encouraging stronger ties to the Museum. Photograph courtesy of Ingrid Damiani. cummer.org 2013 Annual Report Page 25 PONCE DE LEÓN SOCIETY
