We dedicate this report to the memory of former MMofA Board Chairman and museum supporter Mr. G. Tim Gaston (1946-2020) FROM THE DIRECTOR

The year in review (Oct. 1, 2019-Sept. 30, 2020) provides a poignant opportunity to remember where we have been, and a reminder to be grateful for whatever good we have in our experience now! As for many of you, the past year has been full of challenges, but also triumphs.

We began the fiscal year full of promise, with the opening of From Fort to Port & Beyond: An Architectural History of Mobile, an Alabama Bicentennial exhibition curated by the talented architectural historian, Cart Blackwell III, and guided by a Deborah Velders team of talented experts in the field. It was an important exhibition from which we Director learned more about ourselves, our community—and the richly diverse architectural and social history of our built environment. The exhibition featured models and images from the earliest Native American dwellings and Africatown, through residential dwellings, places of worship and civic or public buildings such as the newly constructed Federal Courthouse. This rich tapestry of our history told us more about who we are as a community. That October 11, 2019 opening included another strong exhibition celebrating our region’s cultural diversity with our first contemporary Asian installation in the Charles and Mary Rodning Gallery of Asian Art. It featured the work of Korean academic and artist, Key-Sook Geum, introducing Mobile visitors to a visual treat of ephemeral beaded “costumes” floating in air.

Two months later, the Museum reopened its newest iteration of FOR CHILDREN: 2020 to the delight of parents everywhere. Supported by Alabama Power Foundation and the Crampton Trust, the exhibition featured new galleries and themes, including a nod to NASA and outer space, an immersive “aquarium” space, miniature “galleries” by area artists, and a newly installed room full of Legos of all sizes and colors.

In early February, MMofA opened four new exhibitions.They included BESA: A Code of Honor, featuring the photographic documentation of Muslim Albanians who rescued Jews during the Holocaust; Southern Masters II, featuring the work of regional contemporary artists Pinky MM Bass, Ruth Miller, and Miriam Omura; Dori DeCamillis: READ MY MIND with paintings by this Alabama contemporary artist; and a major exhibition entitled An Art Historian Collects: The David E. Brauer Collection, featuring over 100 works of art historical significance in the private collection of Houston lecturer and charismatic art historian, David E. Brauer. This teaching exhibition provided visitors and students alike with an opportunity to experience works by artists who influenced the course of art history, including artworks by Matisse, Manet, Dali, Man Ray, Hokusai, Rosenquist, and many notable U.K. Pop artists.

Mobile Museum of Art remains committed to providing greater access to works of art, including an ongoing partnership with Mobile County in the presentation of art by area artists at Government Plaza, as well as collection exhibitions at our “Pop-Up Museum” in downtown Mobile (sponsored by grants received from private foundations and individuals). This period included ongoing, changing exhibitions at both off-site locations, expanding the audience by many thousands of visitors.

And of course, ongoing and changing installations of the Museum’s collection of American, Asian, European and Native American art remained on view in selected galleries, rotating works from the Museum’s collection.

This year demonstrated the Museum’s commitment to our educational mission, and to providing the best that art offers in troubled times: the solace and comfort of beauty, creativity, and meaning. FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

As we welcomed the year 2020, who knew what it would bring? Needless to say, we all faced unique challenges that changed our daily routines.

The Mobile Museum of Art was no exception to the school and business closures; however, the Museum staff kept working. Virtual tours, art classes, lectures, and art kits for children, substituted for in-person experiences. These activities provided our citizens with education and entertainment that helped deal with the long and, for some, lonely hours of the pandemic shut down.

Now, the doors are open and the Mobile community can visit the Museum while taking a Sheri Weber “break” from the stresses still ahead of us. Inside the Museum, one will find a place of 2020 Chairman of beauty, calm, inspiration, and perhaps, a brief escape. The exhibitions and/or classes the Board provide an opportunity to “re-set” or “re-fresh” our bodies and minds. There is something for everyone. Never has a resource, such as this Museum, been more needed and appreciated.

I am so proud of Executive Director, Deborah Velders and her staff. Under Deborah’s leadership, these professionals “stepped-up” by creatively reaching out to our Mobile community with a wide variety of programming. It is not an easy task adapting proper protocols so that Mobilians will safely enjoy the Museum. These efforts continue to insure that the Mobile Museum of Art carry out its mission to: EDUCATE, ENGAGE, ENRICH THROUGH THE ARTS.

I would be remiss if I did not recognize that Museum’s Board of Directors. It has been my privilege and honor to serve with a such a supportive group. djusting to virtual meetings is met with patience, cooperation, and understanding. The Museum’s best interest has been, and is, the highest priority.

The silver lining is our Mobile Museum of Art managed to overcome the obstacles while continuing to serve the Mobile community. May we all look forward to 2021 as a year of good health, peace, and joy. WHAT WE DO ART

COLLECTION

European Art: 17th-19th Centuries June 23, 2020 - Ongoing Rich color, paint translated into lace, light, and water, bucolic pastures and delicate china—this selection of Western European 18th and 19th century work from our permanent collection is made of these. The artists who created these pieces were intent on astonishing their affluent patrons with tour de force technique, brilliant composition, and romantic subject matter. Beauty was pursued in earnest. Photography, Realism, Expressionism, Abstractionism—all were yet to come. This elegant, gentrified world was not to be disturbed.

Passion for Collecting: Schoenknecht-Paul Collection August 12, 2020 - Ongoing Charles (Chuck) Schoenknecht and Ward Paul met in college fifty years ago and have been amassing works on paper, postcards, photographs, costume jewelry, coins, books, silver tableware, paintings, glass, and ceramics ever since. One of Paul’s personal goals – which he accomplished – was to collect a representative ceramic from every commercial producer in America from the late 19th century to the 1950s. This exhibition features some of those pieces, as well as European works in styles of the times.

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS

URBAN WILD: Folk & Street Art of the South May 10, 2019 - January 12, 2020 This exhibition of three site-specific murals are presented as a satellite installation of URBAN WILD: Folk and Street Art in the South, an exhibition at Alabama Contemporary Art Center, curated by Elizabet Elliott. URBAN WILD examines the range of creativity that is practiced throughout the streets, highways, and dirt roads of the South.

LEE M. HOFFMAN: A Legacy July 12, 2019 – January 5, 2020 Lee Hoffman exhibited nationally and was a beloved painter and art personality of the Mobile area along with his wife and fellow artist, Kaye Wall Hoffman. This exhibition shows the diverse and ever changing talents of Hoffman’s career from 1960 until his passing in 2010.

FREDERICK A. MARCHMAN: Southern Pop July 12, 2019 – November 17, 2019 Fred Marchman (1941-2016) was a Mobile and Southern original. Everyone who knew him said he was born an artist – obsessed, determined, prolific and creative. He called himself a Southern Pop artist and said he was influenced by ancient art, modern painting and sculpture, folk art, esoteric writings, visionary and spiritual themes. He was a painter, printmaker, sculptor, and illustrator who reveled in using paint, wood, canvas, ink, metal, charcoal, crayons, and even concrete, to make his art. As for subject matter, he found inspiration in televisions, machines, the Confederacy, belles, flowers, kudzu, 50’s automobiles, duck decoys, and the female nude. He admired the work of artists H.C. Westermann, Paul Klee, Arshile Gorky and David Smith. SOUTHERN MASTERS: Casey Downing Jr., Bruce Larsen, & Nall July 12, 2019 – January 5, 2020 We invited three unique and larger-than-life artists from Alabama to step outside the box and create major installations that represent the history of their work, as well as their creative processes. This exhibition is a rare glimpse into their worlds, their distinct perspectives and unique styles. All three of these artists have worked tirelessly over the years and with great passion. Each is a true master.

FROM FORT TO PORT & BEYOND: An Architectural History of Mobile October 11, 2019 – March 29, 2020 This exhibition, organized by the Mobile Museum of Art with guest curator and architectural historian, Cart Blackwell, explores the architectural history of this extraordinary community—one of the twenty oldest continuously inhabited cities in the United States. Presented through a selective timeline of photographs, models, architectural plans, maps, elevations, building materials, videotaped interviews and tours, and publications—the exhibition documents the changing social and cultural story of its places and people over a period of centuries, spanning Mobile’s unique and long history.

Key-Sook Geum October 11, 2019 – January 31, 2021 Key-Sook Geum creates immaculate sculptural objects, dually inspired by traditional Korean garment forms and the lineage of haute couture. Time intensive and meticulous in execution, at once delicate and dramatic, these conceptual sculptures embody spiritual and humanistic ideals that resonate across cultures. With silk gauze, faceted beads, crystals, coral, and semiprecious stones interwoven with red, black, and silver wire, Geum integrates Eastern and Western notions of positive and negative space.

FOR CHILDREN: The Elements of Art & Design December 14, 2019 - ongoing FOR CHILDREN 2020 is an exhibition organized by the Mobile Museum of Art specifically designed for kids! The exhibition presents a maze of galleries for children to experience immersive, creative and wacky visual environments. It is designed for fun, yet teaches kids the basic elements of creative art and design (Line, Texture, Color, Scale, and Shape), as well as relationships between science and art. The exhibition includes hands-on experiences and photo opportunities for parents and grandparents! FOR CHILDREN 2020 features more immersive installations, interactive elements like a giant LITE BRITE, video projections, miniature environments designed by local artists, and different themed rooms.

AR-ZUMA by Paula Straw January 3 – March 1, 2020 Ar-Zuma was illegally smuggled into Mobile Bay, Alabama in 1860 on the last known slave ship, the Clotilda. After emancipation, she began her courageous life in the town known today as Africatown, Alabama. The quilt, Ar-Zuma, evolved in layers of a printed photograph, hand-dyed cheese cloth, and organza overlays of sketches, photographs, and documents. The layers are anchored with hand embroidery and free motion machine quilting.

BESA: A Code of Honor January 17 – December 31, 2020 BESA: A Code of Honor is about the ‘Righteous Among the Nations’ – non-Jews who risked their lives saving Jews during the Holocaust. It is comprised of portraits and texts about Muslim families in Albania, who saved Jews during the Holocaust, converging between two seemingly opposed worlds. The remarkable assistance afforded to Jews during this time is grounded in BESA, the code of honor which still exists today. This help should be understood as a matter of national honor. These acts originated from compassion, loving kindness and a desire to help those in need – even those of another faith or origin.

5 WHAT WE DO AN ART HISTORIAN COLLECTS: The David E. Brauer Collection February 7, 2020 – November 29, 2020 This exhibition explores the question, “what does an art historian collect?” Art was the focus of Houston-based art historian David E. Brauer’s professional life for well over half a century. Brauer considered his idiosyncratic, personal art collection more an “accumulation” rather than a collection, reflecting the chance encounters and opportunities in his life’s experience.

For the purposes of this exhibition, the Mobile Museum of Art organized the work into 4 categories: European, Asian, American, (with subset of Texas art), and artists of the U.K.. There are artworks by the famous and unknown in the history of art, but all reflect the collector’s profession, life experience and diverse interests ranging from NASA’s space program to poetry, literature, and music.

SOUTHERN MASTERS II: Pinky MM Bass, Ruth Miller, & Miriam N. Omura February 7, 2020 – November 29, 2020 In this exhibition, three artists living and working in the South — Pinky MM Bass, Ruth Miller, and Miriam N. Omura — dissect, manipulate, and push the historically feminine domestic practices of sewing, weaving, embroidery, applique, and crochet into new territory. These artists are masters of their medium who have developed labor-intensive creative processes over many years, and created work that is anything but domestic or traditional. Each artist, with her own unique voice and background, explores themes of identity, culture, race, aging, and inner reflection. This exhibition presents a selection of work from throughout their careers that embodies these themes.

Dori DeCamillis: READ MY MIND July 12, 2019 – January 5, 2020 Artist Dori DeCamillis’ paintings are self-portraits depicting her own states of mind. Each piece is a character designed to personify her ever-changing thought patterns, habits, and perspectives. These individual parts of her personality are painted as they come up in her life — they reveal human attributes that everyone can relate to.

OFFSITE EXHIBITIONS

Government Plaza Gallery June 26, 2018 – present Following the continued success of our Government Plaza Gallery, MMofA organized two more installations this year. This is an opportunity for Mobile area artists to exhibit their work in a special exhibition for the public lobby/atrium at Government Plaza. Both a curated and juried exhibition take place twice a year.

Dozens of artists from our community submitted work in virtually every medium: oil and watercolor painting, charcoal and pastel drawings, papier mache, ceramics, glass and metal. Due to the restrictions with COVID-19, MMofA installed a collection show titled, EARTH, SEA, & AIR. These exhibitions were curated by Stan Hackney of the Mobile Museum of Art, and concieved and sponsored by Connie Hudson and the Mobile County Commission.

Mobile Museum of Art also continued our Pop-Up Museum at 300 Dauphin Street, and our partnership with the Mobile Regional Airport, both cited in previous MMofA annual reports.

6 WHAT WE DO RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

Collection Research & MMofA’s Resource Library

Throughout the 2020 fiscal year, Mobile Museum of Art did a massive inventory of our collection works. During this process, we have also been conducting research into the objects remaining in the collection. One of the most rewarding of our discoveries resulted from submission of a test sample from our T’ang ceramic horse to a lab in Colorado.

We have had this fired clay horse in our collection for 25 years but, until very recently, could not confirm that it was made during the Tang Dynasty in China.

The horse was given to us in 1984 by a Hollywood actor, Fred Gavin Gordon, who was unsure of its age and authenticity. He had been told PICTURED ABOVE: Chinese, “Figure of a Horse” (Tomb Figurine), 950 - 1250 A.D., Glazed terra cotta, gift from the Estate of Fred Gavin Gordon by an art museum curator that the horse might be from the Tang Dynasty, but he was still skeptical. He wrote in a letter to our museum director, “The Tang horse (at least I call him Tang)... I felt, and always have, that it was a much later copy. Again, I find him handsome, he gets more pats and pats in my house than he would if he were alive.”

The sample underwent thermoluminescence testing and the results confirmed that the horse is over 1,000 years old. During this fiscal year, we also had a circa 4th century clay Tanagra figure repaired by a conservationist.

GIFTS & ACQUISITIONS

7 WHAT WE DO THE MUSEUM SCHOOL

YOUTH School tours and classes for students were held successfully from October 1, 2019 through March 13, 2020, at which time all programs were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Until that time, students came to the Museum for school tours, each of which included a gallery tour and a studio art class with themes such as portraiture, landscape painting, Art and Archaeology (in partnership with the University of South Alabama Archaeology Museum), and more. Home School classes served 228 students ages 4-7 and 8-11, with a variety of art activities that included painting, sculpture, drawing and mixed media techniques, as well as art history and art appreciation.

After March 13, 2020, the focus became what the Education Department could offer children online or as take-away projects. Education staff created Story Time in the Book Nook and Art-at-Home projects that tie into artworks at the Museum. Once we reopened, the Education Department created Art Kits — low-cost take-home art projects that included art supplies and instructions on how to create an artwork currently installed in an exhibition at the Museum.

OUTREACH Outreach is for all of the Mobile community. We believe our museum’s mission extends beyond the walls of our building and out into the community. Everything from discovering self-identity with young children and adolescents to emotional and physical healing for the elderly, veterans and anyone experiencing personal struggle, art can enhance and enrich our lives. The Mobile Museum of Art’s outreach program places trained professional artists and resources in underserved areas of the community with the goal to provide a consistent high quality art experience to everyone.

SALVATION ARMY FAMILY HAVEN MMofA, with the help of our generous donors and sponsors, has continued bi-monthly art activities led by working artists at the Salvation Army's Family Haven, a housing facility for homeless families. Art activities at the Family Haven are designed to engage every family member, offering them time to engage with each other creatively in a stress-free environment using various media including paint, clay, printmaking, and costume-making.

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA AND GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA The Education Department continued Girl Scout and Boy Scout tours as an opportunity for young people in scouting to earn their merit badges in art. Most popular has been the ceramic tour, with its accompanying hand-building pottery studio art class. All clay creations are glazed by the students and then fired in our kiln for pick-up at a later date. Other areas are watercolors, pencil, oil pastels, tempera, and acrylics. All Scout programs include a themed gallery tour and hands-on art activity with art history and art appreciation included in the lesson.

WOUNDED WARRIORS The Museum School hosted a special evening for couples who are Wounded Warriors. Participants shared a meal, went on a specialized tour of the museum, and participated in two art activities run by local artists. One of the art activities took place in the museum's newly opened photography darkroom, where everyone had an opportunity to print some of their own photos in black and white.

8 WHAT WE DO ADULT CLASSES We at Mobile Museum of Art believe that learning doesn't stop after childhood. The Museum School provides a robust offering of artistic opportunities for both adults and older teens. Classes and workshops include Throwing on the Pottery Wheel, Life Drawing, Painting, Silversmithing Jewelry, hand-stitching (sashiko) class, handbuilding in clay, Glass Fusing, and courses on art history and appreciation, among others. With beautiful, natural surroundings in Langan Park and galleries full of our permanent collection as well as changing exhibitions, there is no shortage of inspiration. Classes are scheduled year-round including night and weekend offerings.

PROGRAMS In the 2020 fiscal year, the Mobile Museum of Art continued our commitment to create diverse quality programs with many of our favorites as well as a few new events. Sadly, with the unprecedented situation of COVID-19, we postponed or cancelled most of the programing by late March. We have great hope that our strong calendar of events will get back on track by mid-summer of 2021. Despite the challenges of the past year, we were able to have the following programs: Mobile Animation Film Festival with the University of South Alabama; annual Holiday Night Market; a poetry night with Powerline Poets; and an art talk with Dr. Marlene W. Yahalom from the American Society of Yad Vashem on special exhibition, BESA: A Code of Honor. Through these four programs programs, we served 530 people and provided professional growth opportunities for 142 artists.

9 WHAT WE DO HOW WE DO IT COMMUNITY SUPPORT

MMofA is supported by a unique public/private partnership of government entities and community support. Since its founding in 1964, the art museum has evolved into the only accredited art museum in South Alabama, with a collection of over 6,000 artworks comprised of painting, sculpture, decorative arts, works on paper, and crafts.

With the generous support of the City of Mobile, our State Arts Council, Donor Circle, foundations, corporations, membership, and visits by the general public, MMofA has had a transformative year. THANK YOU!
