HENRY ART GALLERY FISCAL YEAR 2018 ANNUAL REPORT A LETTER TO OUR COMMUNITY

2017 marked the 90th anniversary of the Henry’s founding and the 20th year in its Gwathmey expansion. This double birthday provided the oc- casion for The Time. The Place. Contemporary Art from the Collection, a museum-wide exhibition of contemporary works that have been added to the collection in the past two decades. Showcasing art in mediums ranging from photography to video installation by local artists alongside national and international practitioners, we underlined the Henry’s deep commitment to the art of our time, including works by Nan Goldin, Gary Hill, An-My Lê, Kori Newkirk, Shirin Neshat, and Fred Wilson. Further exhibitions included a comprehensive retrospective of Doris Totten Chase, a video and audio archive of cultural organizing in the Pacific Northwest by the collective If You Don’t They Will, a suite of silkscreen prints by Jacob Lawrence, and a solo exhibition by Demian DinéYazhi´, the winner of the 2017 Brink Award. Our anniversary also highlighted the growth of our collections, currently numbering over 26,000 objects—and growing. This year, the Eleanor Henry Reed Collection Study Center hosted 1,200 visitors, providing collection access free of charge to the public and to 37 entities across the UW campus. During the course of the year, over 50,000 people visited the museum. Our ArtVentures, Teen Art Collective, and Free Sundays programs Sylvia Wolf, supported our goal to increase participation from youth and families. John S. Behnke Director, with artist and Monsen And to deepen engagement year-round with our shows for audiences of Photography Lecturer all ages and backgrounds, we offered a range of lectures, screenings, An-My Lê. musical performances, workshops, and community events. We are especially proud that through our Gurvich Contemporary Art Projects series, artists including lauren woods and Sharon Lockhart were able to make sustained visits to the Henry, engaging with the Teen Art Collective, the UW community, and the public through workshops, lunches, artist talks, and performances. The Henry champions new work, supporting artists as they explore new concepts and new media, and it offers a place for people of all ages to discover, inquire, and be inspired. This history has not wavered in 90 years. We are grateful to Henry members and friends who support our mission and vision. As we reflect, we also dream. We dream of new ways to give artists the support they need to push us forward, in our thinking about the world and in our service to our community.

With hope and optimism for the next 90 years,
