ANNUAL REPORT 2017–2018 | 3 CHAIR & DIRECTOR’S REPORT

This year, we have proudly upheld our mission to be one of America’s most welcoming, distinguished, dynamic, and educationally ambitious art museums through unique, diverse, and inspiring offerings.

Great efforts have been made to maximize the resources unique to our Museum—our world class permanent collection, our expanded facilities, our prime location adjacent to Walnut Hill Park, and our tremendously dedicated and experienced staff—in order to offer visitors unprecedented and enriching experiences here at the New Britain Museum of American Art. More programs than ever are being offered to our constituents, including lectures and symposia featuring renowned artists and historians, docent-led tours and curatorial conversations, stimulating adult and children’s studio workshops, concerts, dancing, films, health and wellness programs, and one-of-a-kind art- viewing encounters.

Additionally, we have enjoyed and greatly benefited from the wonderful resources available within our city and community through the establishment of new, innovative partnerships with regional organizations and institutions: this year, we engaged in collaborations with the American School for the Deaf, the Delamar Hotel, the Connecticut State Library, the New Britain Industrial Museum, the Farmington Historical Society, Hartford Jazz Society, and others, allowing us to broaden the NBMAA’s engagement with diverse constituents and expand the Museum’s exposure and impact beyond the bounds of our physical footprint. We look forward to continuing to foster these relationships and build foundations for new friendships and collaborations in the months and years to come.

In our exhibitions, programs, and initiatives, we continue to honor our historical heritage while examining the present and future of American art in all its complexity and diversity. This year, we celebrated the 110th anniversary of our first acquisitions, which were made in 1908. In honor
