David Hamlow: Mirror Stage May 25–July 21, 2017 EXHIBITIONS

Six-thousand people visited the M’s exhibitions in fiscal year 2017, 1,600 of them for the ac- claimed Ken Gonzales-Day: Shadowlands alone. Performers Serita Colette, Jessica Lopez Lyman, and Junauda Petrus gave a moving, original in-gallery artistic response to Gonzales-Day’s work, as did vocalists from McNally Smith Col- lege of Music. Poet Sun Yung Shin was joined by notable local artists and writers for a conver- sation about race in Minnesota, and a separate panel of curators and scholars tackled issues of race in American history and art in a community discussion held by the M at the George Latimer Library in St. Paul. Named one of the top 20 exhibitions in the U.S. for 2017 by the national online arts magazine Hyperallergic, Shadowlands resonated with the community and critics alike because of its timely, sensitive examination of the persistence of racially-motivated violence through American history, but also thanks to the diverse contributions of area artists, think- ers, and writers, and community discussions included in these exhibition-related programs.

“Ken Gonzales-Day brings America’s violent racial past into the present in a visceral show…. Seen together, [his] bodies of work critically engage with our current moment.” Sheila Regan, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Ken Gonzales-Day reading at the opening of Ken Gonzales-Day: Shadowlands in January 2017. EXHIBITIONS

The M also presented two group shows which prominently featured artworks from the permanent collection. Brick x Brick offered a range of local and national artists’ works illuminating the interplay of architecture, construction, and the urban landscape. A is for Animal brought together animal-themed pieces from our collection for a show curated by the M and shared with White Bear Center for the Arts. And that wasn’t the M’s only successful touring show. Seeds of Change: A Portrait of the Hmong American Farm- ers Association, photographs by Mike Hazard, followed its summer 2016 debut in the M’s Project Space with a well-received run as the first-ever exhibition in the new Minnesota State Capitol gallery in early 2017. Hazard’s vivid images and moving stories documenting a year in the life of Hmong farmers on HAFA’s farm in Vermillion Township, Minnesota are striking a chord with visitors from all over the state.

Through CreatorKids, the M brings American art into Saint Paul Public Schools classrooms with the only museum-based arts education program in the city. This year, 60 4th and 5th graders at Galtier Community School engaged in a week of hands-on creative workshops blending poetry and visual art, led by spoken word artist See More Perspective, visual artist Teresa Cox, and M staff. Continuing their 26- year collaboration, Ordway Center for Perform- ing Arts and the M partnered once again to present student-made artwork by high school- aged artists in the annual, juried Honors Visual Art Exhibition, which was enjoyed by more than 400 gallery visitors over the course of its month-long run at the M.

“It made me feel proud — that who I am, and where I’m from… it’s good.” A Galtier Community School student from the 2017 CreatorKids residency ARTS ACCESS

Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board through the state’s Legacy Fund, the M employed an Arts Access Manager, Jessica Eckerstorfer, and conducted listening sessions and surveys throughout the state. In those discussions, Minnesotans told us how creativity fits into their lives, and we gleaned fresh ideas for ways the museum can be responsive to their varied needs and interests. In addition, M staff and trustees also engaged in a year-long series of diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion training sessions, as part of the continual work of ensuring the museum connects in relevant, meaningful ways with all in our community. The M created a new, one-year curatorial fellow- ship this year, bringing on board its first-ever Diversity in the Arts Fellow, Johnnay Leenay, who worked with staff on development of the M’s exhibitions, public programs, and learning and engagement strategies. In these ways and more, the M is taking steps to ensure the museum’s offerings continue to embrace Minnesota communities’ diverse experiences, creative contributions, and points of view.
