The museum, established in 1913 “for the benefit of all the people forever,” seeks to bring the pleasure and meaning of art to the broadest possible audience in accordance with the highest aesthetic, intellectual, and professional standards. Toward this end, the museum enhances, preserves, exhibits, and fosters understand- ing of the outstanding collections of world art it holds in trust for the public and presents complementary ex- hibitions and programs. The Cleveland Museum of Art embraces its leadership role in collecting, scholarship, education, and community service. 5 Strategic Plan Goals 1. To articulate and implement a strategic collections plan with an emphasis on acquiring, conserving, and exhibiting to maximum advantage the highest quality works of art. 2. To articulate and implement an excellent and varied exhibition program, including exhibitions of interna- tional stature that put important art and scholarship in the service of a broad audience. 3. To produce and publish intellectually superior schol- arship on the collections and related issues on a regular basis. 4. To create a rich and diverse education and public pro- grams initiative that serves and engages many different audiences and communities in an innovative and dy- namic fashion. 5. To continue to change the CMA, both in reality and perception, into a museum for “all the people” by placing the interests of its various communities— ranging from local to international, from schoolchildren to senior citizens, from scholars, artists, and collectors to first-time visitors—at the core of the museum’s activities. 6. To transform the CMA into a visitor-centered museum that communicates the pleasures and mean- ings of art to visitors of all backgrounds and that removes potential barriers, both real and perceived, to the realization of that end. 6 7. To become a national leader in the use of new and emerging technologies to enhance the value to society of the museum’s collections, intellectual initiatives, and other activities. 8. To complete a space and facilities master plan for the museum that, in keeping with the museum’s collections plan, addresses the exhibition and preservation needs of the collection and focuses on the buildings’ structure, mechanical systems, public circulation patterns, staff work areas, and accommodations for necessary public amenities. 9. To attract and retain a diverse staff of the highest quality dedicated and trained to fulfill the CMA’s mis- sion and to realize the goals of the strategic plan. 10. To develop a financial plan calling for the operation of the museum in a fiscally responsible manner while meeting the funding needs arising from the CMA’s mission statement and strategic plan, focusing on the board’s role, on increasing annual support, and on generating revenues. 7 Board of Trustees Officers Mrs. Quentin Alexander Michael J.
