Fiscal Year June 30, 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Museum Board of Trustees

Board Chair Josh Newton Building Bridges

Vice Chair Margi Heater Josh Newton Museum Board Chair Treasurer Lori Ray Since opening its doors 35 years ago, the High Desert Museum has been building bridges, connecting people to Secretary place, to each other, to the past and the future by creating inspiring learning opportunities for all ages. With your Tom Triplett support, our strides this past fiscal year were remarkable. I’d like to share a few successes we’re particularly proud of and hope you are, too. Governance Chair Betsy McCool We expanded our outreach in the community, providing Museum learning opportunities to underserved children and families in our area, helping to close the achievement gap. Our new Little Wonders program provided 323 Executive Director memberships to Head Start families, offering them unlimited free visits to the Museum for a full year. In addition, Dana Whitelaw, Ph.D. this past year our K-12 programs served a record 12,105 students from across , 67% of whom were from Title I schools. Marilyn Beem Ryan W. Bounds Bend is the only city in Oregon with a population greater than 30,000 without an art museum within 30 miles. We Gretchen Brooks are in the process of expanding our arts and cultural programming to make museum-quality art accessible to our Gail Hayes Davis region. Last year, we opened 10 multidisciplinary exhibits and offered over 75 distinct programs. Our 2016 exhibit Julie Drinkward Art for a Nation: Inspiration from the Great Depression was an overwhelming success. We collaborated with nine Delia Feliciano organizations to offer 25 associated programs, immersing the pubic in the art and culture of the 1930s. Jim Franzen Peter J. Hall Looking forward, the Museum is growing as a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) leader in Ryan Hagemann the state of Oregon. We were the only museum and one of just four institutions nationally to receive a STEMeX Sharon Hewitt grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. In collaboration Cameron Kerr with other area organizations, we will conduct an innovative study on how KC Lockrem experts can better engage rural families in STEM fields through the art of Mission Bret Matteis storytelling, helping us serve our community.
