This simple phrase captures our core belief. Like any powerful tagline, each word was selected with great care and intention. In this report, we are excited to take the opportunity to parse this phrase—to explain what each word means to us and how this big idea played out in our practice last year. By the time you have finished reading, you will have a better sense of what we mean the next ANNUALREPORT 2015 time you hear us say, “art ignites change.”

This report also is an opportunity to acknowledge and thank the incredible range of people and organizations that make our work possible, and to share our statement

We have increased capacity to launch projects of significant scale, like last fall’s Open Source exhibition, as well as initiatives that consider artistic possibilities for an entire neighborhood. When we move off the wall, our medium might change, but our commitment to democratic expression remains the same.

We are pleased to present you with this report on our evolving portfolio of work. As always, we are grateful that you have joined us in expanding our practice and our impact.
