  • 2012 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities
    EXPLORING THE HUMAN ENDEAVOR NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES 2ANNU0AL1 REP2ORT CHAIRMAN’S LETTER August 2013 Dear Mr. President, It is my privilege to present the 2012 Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For forty-seven years, NEH has striven to support excellence in humanities research, education, preservation, access to humanities collections, long-term planning for educational and cultural institutions, and humanities programming for the public. NEH’s 1965 founding legislation states that “democracy demands wisdom and vision in its citizens.” Understanding our nation’s past as well as the histories and cultures of other peoples across the globe is crucial to understanding ourselves and how we fit in the world. On September 17, 2012, U.S. Representative John Lewis spoke on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial about freedom and America’s civil rights struggle, to mark the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. He was joined on stage by actors Alfre Woodward and Tyree Young, and Howard University’s Afro Blue jazz vocal ensemble. The program was the culmination of NEH’s “Celebrating Freedom,” a day that brought together five leading Civil War scholars and several hundred college and high school students for a discussion of events leading up to the Proclamation. The program was produced in partnership with Howard University and was live-streamed from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to more than one hundred “watch parties” of viewers around the nation. Also in 2012, NEH initiated the Muslim Journeys Bookshelf—a collection of twenty-five books, three documentary films, and additional resources to help American citizens better understand the people, places, history, varieties of faith, and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world.

  • Chief Operating Officer Salem, Massachusetts
    Chief Operating Officer Salem, Massachusetts THE OPPORTUNITY The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) celebrates outstanding artistic and cultural creativity by collecting, stewarding, and interpreting objects of art and culture in ways that increase knowledge, enrich the spirit, engage the mind, and stimulate the senses. Through its exhibitions, programs, publications, media, and related activities, the museum strives to create experiences that transform people's lives by broadening their perspectives, attitudes, and knowledge of themselves and the wider world. As PEM enters the next era of its storied history following an unparalleled 25-year arc of development, the museum seeks an experienced and highly motivated leader to serve as its chief operating officer (COO). More than two centuries since its inception, PEM faces a distinct set of opportunities and challenges. In the wake of an international health crisis and systemic racial injustice that is experienced acutely by many and cannot be ignored, museum leaders have been called to action. This period will require expansive thinking and both global and local efforts as PEM examines its role as an inclusive, accessible, and thought- provoking leader in an evolving museum landscape and society. In July 2019, PEM appointed a new director and CEO for the first time in 25 years. A bold and visionary leader, Dr. Brian Kennedy has already laid the groundwork for an ambitious five-year strategic plan that will reevaluate the museum’s approach to and engagement of its audience, staff, physical and digital space, and financial resources. The COO will partner closely with Dr. Kennedy to realize the short- and long-term success of this vision.

  • Contemporary Design in Historic Districts: a Case Study of Two
    CONTEMPORARY DESIGN IN HISTORIC DISTRICTS: A CASE STUDY OF TWO MUSEUMS by WILLIAM MALLORY BROCKENBROUGH (Under the Direction of Pratt Cassity) ABSTRACT This thesis looks at the development of contemporary architecture in historic settings by comparing the work of architect Moshe Safdie in two projects. The museums, the Telfair Museum in Savannah, Georgia and the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts are both uniquely situated within historic urban cities that govern development through design review. The thesis looks at the state of contemporary design in historic settings, barriers to design, and the success or failure of the design review process.

  • PEM) Does More Than Bring Art Into a Room; the Museum Continuously Asks What Makes That Art Relevant in Today’S World
    DIRECTOR OF ANNUAL GIVING Salem, Massachusetts THE SEARCH The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) does more than bring art into a room; the museum continuously asks what makes that art relevant in today’s world. Providing creative stimulus, PEM strives to create experiences that transform people’s lives by broadening their perspectives, attitudes, and knowledge of themselves and the wider world. Located in the coastal city of Salem, Massachusetts, 15 miles north of Boston, the Peabody Essex is the oldest continuously operating museum in the United States. While rooted in this venerable history, PEM has developed a dynamic and entrepreneurial approach—becoming one of the fastest growing art museums in the country—and now stands among the 20 largest art museums in North America. The museum has developed an international reputation for the breadth and excellence of its collection; the art historical scholarship of its curatorial staff; the quality of its exhibitions, publications, and media; and for innovation in interpretation, public programs, and education. With this approach, the PEM has earned the highest visitor satisfaction ratings among 75 major museums in the US. At a critical moment in the museum’s landmark $650 million Advancement Campaign, PEM seeks a motivated and creative director of annual giving to join the development management team, leading their annual giving and membership programs. Remarkable not only for its scale, this campaign is the first in American art museum history to dedicate more money to endowment funding than to bricks and mortar. The campaign is also funding a comprehensive renovation and expansion project featuring a 40,000-square-foot new wing of galleries and a 112,000-square-foot Collection Center for artwork storage, care, and conservation.
