ANNUAL REPORT 2009-2010

THE MUNSON-WILLIAMS-PROCTOR ARTS INSTITUTE IS A REGIONAL ARTS CENTER.

ITS MISSION IS to serve diverse audiences by advancing the appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of the arts to promote interest and participation in the arts to engender artistic self-expression and personal creativity to assume a leadership and advocacy role for the arts Message from the Chairman, Board of Trustees Contents

As I approach the conclusion of my term as the Chairman of the 3 School of Art Board of Trustees, it is appropriate that I share with you this Annual Report of the operations of Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts 6 Museum of Art Institute for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. It has been an honor for me to serve the Institute and the community in this 9 Performing Arts capacity, and I am proud to share the wonderful successes we have achieved together over the past year. 12 Annual Operating Fund Each of the Institute’s 74 years has been special in some way.

I am proud to highlight several milestones from the year just com - 14 Annual Attendance pleted. We have taken steps to expand the enrollment of PrattMWP

to solidify the financial future of this important component of our 15 Sponsors mission. We have negotiated increased cooperation with Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in the areas of recruiting and enrollment; we have added a new major in photography to attract additional students; and we have initiated a pre-college program to give high school students a real hands-on experience during the summer in the hopes that they will consider enrolling at PrattMWP. I am confident that each of these steps will help us to reach our enrollment goals in the very near future. It has been a landmark year for the Museum of Art also, as we prepared to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Museum of Art Building designed by Philip Johnson. Following this milestone is the 75th Anniversary of the Institute’s opening to the public. To celebrate this achievement, many of the Museum’s friends have chosen to give or loan some very special works for exhibition. I trust you will enjoy these additions to our collection as they are exhibited late in 2011. I must also congratulate the Performing Arts Division for another exceptional year of programming. Without the Great Artists Series , Concerts in the Court , Keyboard Conversations and our weekly Film Board of Trustees Series , the cultural life of our community would be sorely lacking.

The performers we are able to bring to this community through William L. Boyle, Jr., Ed.D. these programs rival those in any city in the nation, and we should Joseph S. Caldwell, III all be proud of the transformative experiences we can enjoy as a result. Finally, I must thank each of you, the members, the friends, donors, Robert E. Cohen sponsors, and supporters whose names are listed in this Annual Michael D. Cominsky Report. You are the people who make all that we do possible. The gift Joseph J. Corasanti of our Founding Families set us on our way, but it is your generous and regular support that enables us to thrive. I would like to specifi - Michael D.

2 2009-10 Annual Report Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute The mission of the School of Art is to provide excellent instruction

and the facilities for the creation, exhibition and aesthetic appreciation

of the visual and performing arts. School of A rt

In a highly competitive environment, status quo is not an option. So it was for the School of Art during the 2009-10 fiscal year. Program initiatives and curriculum developments highlighted the year for the administration, staff and faculty.

New Major By year’s end, the administrations of PrattMWP and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn had agreed on the development a new major in Photography, with the first cohort of students in that program to be enrolled in Fall 2010. With a newly installed digital photography lab in place and under the extraordinary leadership of Professor Keith Sandman, a veteran of 30 years at the school, the college was well poised to provide its fourth academic major, complementing programs in Fine Arts, Art and Design Education, and Communications Design.

Pre-College Initiative The PrattMWP admissions staff, under the leadership of Jill Heintz, prepared to enter its charter class in the Pre-College program. The four-week program offered high school students, mostly juniors, the opportunity to earn four college credit hours while taking a variety of art and design classes on the PrattMWP campus. The college slightly surpassed its enrollment goal of 20, as 21 students mostly from the Northeast regis - tered for the month-long summer session. Students from as far away as Texas and North Carolina also enrolled.

Personnel After 16 years, most of them as Admissions Director, Jill Heintz resigned to pursue other interests. Her tenure as the leader of the

The paintings, sculptures, drawings and decorative arts objects that entered the Museum’s permanent collection during the 2009-10 fiscal year are listed in this report. I am pleased to note that an overwhelming majority of these wonderful artworks were donated to the Museum by a large circle of collectors who have sought, through their gifts, to honor the Museum’s 75th anniver - sary in 2011. It is gratifying that so many of the Museum’s friends and acquaintances wanted to enhance the Museum’s legendary permanent collection in this tangible way. I am profoundly grateful to each of the donors, whose names appear below, for their generosity. Each of the artworks that entered the permanent collection during the past twelve months contributes immeasurably to the growth and prosperity of the Museum and enhances its ability to serve the public.
