From the Director

Strong partnerships remained SBMA’s focus and mode of operation again in 2012. Particularly satisfying and engaging was the partnership formed around the exhibition We are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, which took place from September 15 – November 11, 2012. This exhibition featured a collection of paintings, sketches and educational materials from the book of the same name by award-winning artist and author Kadir Nelson. It told the story of the Negro Leagues: of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship; of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It was a perfect mirror for the social and political history of Black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of unsung heroes who overcame segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do the one thing they loved more than anything else in the world: play ball. (excerpted in part from the brochure for the exhibition). We Are the Ship served as the centerpiece for a collaboration the SBMA initiated with the University of Notre Dame Multicultural Student Programs & Services Office, The Center for History, The Civil Rights Heritage Center, and the South Bend Silver Hawks. Each partner carried out related programming and the resulting series, entitled Triple Play: Race, Baseball, Art, was aimed at creating awareness, education and action about the topics. Lecturers were brought in during the run of the show to talk about the works of art and the Negro Leagues. Speakers included: Artist, Kadir Nelson; Dr. Raymond Doswell, President of Curatorial Services, Negro League Baseball Museum; Dr. Geralyn Strecker, Professor of American Literature in U.S. history at Ball State University; Dr. Hasan K. Jeffries, Associate Professor of African American History at Ohio State University; and Phil S. Dixon, one of America’s foremost experts on baseball history. A second, very significant, partnership that was new in 2012 is SBMA’s Regional Affiliate status with the Scholastic Art Awards competition and exhibition. SBMA was asked by the Scholastic Art Awards (SAA) Board, to become the Regional Affiliate for the Scholastic Art Awards annual competition and the SBMA board voted to move forward with this very positive alliance. The volunteer-run competition had become too challenging to sustain without the infrastructure of a parent organization. SBMA was the natural and logical choice for this role, in that we have been committed to being a partner in the presentation of the exhibition for almost 30 years. The Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition recognizes junior and senior high school student achievements in the visual arts. Started in 1923, the Scholastic Art Awards program is the largest and oldest juried exhibition of its kind in the U.S. Works in the SBMA regional exhibition represent students in grades 7 - 12 from 17 surrounding counties in Indiana and Michigan. Award-winning work from regional competitions is sent to New York City for the nationals, where scholarships are awarded to the winners. SBMA is excited about and committed to the challenges of becoming the Regional Affiliate. This competition is historically important to the youth and families of the community and, should SBMA not have become the affiliate, there was a real risk of losing the competition and exhibition to the Fort Wayne region. Not only is this exhibition the most heavily attended exhibition in the SBMA annual schedule, but it is also directly and intrinsically connected to our mission of supporting arts education for youth and adults in the region. There is not a single arts program for high school and middle school students, which has the broad reach or lifelong educational impact of the Scholastic Art Awards and SBMA is looking forward to helping keep it alive in our region.

Annual Report 2012 | 1 Development and Cultivation

2012 was a year with successful initiatives aimed at broadening overall audience participation in museum activities, and providing meaningful entry experiences for the “first time” Museum goer. That first visit holds the potential to create a connection that will carry far beyond one event and translate into future support of our many programs and exhibitions.

Corporate sponsorships were aggressively and thoughtfully pursued for 2012 museum programs, initiatives and exhibitions, including in-kind contributions. Corporate relationships continued to be developed with positive results. These relationships will be nurtured well into the future to sustain these meaningful partnerships and the successful programs they have brought to fruition.

Beaux Arts Ball: Encore! Encore! was an entertaining fund raising event attended by nearly 200 people on November 10, 2012. Honorees included Doug Kinsey who received the Carlotta Banta Artistic Achievement Award, and June H. Edwards who received the Carlotta Banta Friends of the Arts Award. Attendees dressed in outlandish costumes inspired by memorable art, and vied for valuable prize packages donated by the area’s finest businesses. Elegant cuisine was served, and everyone enjoyed the sounds of The Marquis with Terry Austin. A fantastic time was had by all.

The event was a success thanks to the work of the committee: Kari Black, Judy Bock, Dayle Brown, Mary Ann Butkovich, June Edwards, Natalie Klein, Mitzi Sabato, Stephanie Scharf, Bob Shields and Marika Smith, and all the corporations and area merchants who rallied to the cause.

2 | South Bend Museum of Art Marketing and Events

In 2012 the Museum’s marketing strategy focused on SBMA: See, Belong, Make, Art, promoting exhibitions, membership, classes/educational programming and events. Electronic and social media (website, Facebook, Twitter, Constant Contact) were utilized as the dominant means of communication and promotion of Museum activities, directing recipients to our website, southbendart.org. A monthly e-newsletter kept 2500 subscribers up to date with Museum happenings. Activities were posted on event and arts-related websites and press releases sent to local media outlets.

Paid advertising included radio and print, promoting classes,exhibitions and events; media sponsorships were obtained to secure promotion of specific events and exhibitions, notably the Scholastic Art Awards, and the American Series exhibition, We Are The Ship. Print materials such as class schedules and event postcards supplemented these efforts.

The SBMA took advantage of marketing opportunities with local organizations/venues: the Morris Performing Arts Center window display promoting We Are the Ship; the display window of the Bittersweet branch of the St. Joseph County Public Library; the Convention & Visitors Bureau Museum Alliance brochure promoting area museums; Downtown South Bend’s poster distribution; a booth at the Sunburst Races, and participation in the Barnes & Noble Booksellers book fair with artist demonstrations, all aimed at generating interest in SBMA programming. Opportunities for coverage on local TV, e.g., WNIT’s Experience Michiana, morning TV news and radio interviews increased our reach to a wider audience.

The Museum hosted a variety of events on First Fridays aimed at increasing attendance in our galleries, awareness of our programming and developing new friends, members and donors in the community. Several of these were in conjunction with Downtown South Bend’s monthly theme or in partnership with local organizations:

• Cosponsored by 88.1 WVPE, the Meet Me series kicked off the season with Meet Me in the Gallery, which attracted close to 900 people for the opening of the Scholastic Art Awards in February.

• April showers brought May Rain Barrels, painted by local artists and auctioned to benefit the SBMA and partner, the Indiana University Center for a Sustainable Future.

• Meet Me on the Island, cosponsored with 88.1 WVPE and Century Center in June, attracted over 1,300 to Island Park for an evening on the river of art, music and mingling. Tickets are provided to members as a benefit of membership.

Annual Report 2012 | 3 Marketing and Events, cont’d.

• Several First Fridays offered exhibition receptions with a featured artist presenting a gallery talk, which was recorded and made available to SBMA docents to increase their familiarity with the artwork involved in tours.

In conjunction with Downtown South Bend’s August First Friday theme, Dog Days of Summer, SBMA ceramic studio artists created unique pet bowls, for sale in the Museum’s shop, The Dot Shop, and offered photo pet portraits in the gallery.

• The SBMA offered art activities for children during ArtBeat in downtown South Bend in August, with SBMA faculty demonstrating. Arts + Ends, a sidewalk/dock sale of surplus and donated art materials and furniture help purge our storage areas and generate income.

• In Fall 2012, several lectures and receptions related to Triple Play: Race, Baseball, Art, centered on the American Series exhibition, We Are the Ship: the Story of Negro League Baseball and broadened the SBMA’s reach to new audiences, particularly in the minority and sports community.

• Holiday in the Gallery in December concluded the year’s events with a musical performance by the John Adams High School Show Choir, as well as the opening of the SBMA Student Faculty Exhibition. The Art League sponsored the reception.

The SBMA hosted several events sponsored by other organizations in 2012 in the galleries, including a reception following the bus tour sponsored by the Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and the University of Notre Dame for new faculty/staff and the Community Foundation of St. Joseph County Annual Meeting. Space is made available to local arts organizations for meetings. Gallery rentals for private receptions, often in conjuntion with events at Century Center, contribute financial support for SBMA.

4 | South Bend Museum of Art Education Programs

Studio Classes Studio Classes supplied instruction in ceramics, weaving, knitting, oil painting, acrylics, photography, jewelry, watercolor, drawing, and soft pastels for children, teens, and adults. Five sessions of classes were offered in 2012. Our summer youth classes surged with enrollment as we offered more camps, classes, and a continued partnership with Southold Dance. A faculty of talented artists and educators inspired students through each class session–day, evenings, and weekends–and brought their passion and expertise to a wide range of subjects. Besides providing instruction, the classes create a sense of community, cultural dialogue, and peer group support. School Programs Sculpture Quest Over 700 fourth and fifth grade students from Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation participated in a guided tour and activity program based in sculpture. This year’s programming was focused on the vocabulary of sculpture with a significant emphasis on the terms “abstract”and “texture.” SBMA staffer and local artist, Candie Waterloo, trained each group on additive sculptural processes as students shaped and molded clay into playfully funky organics culptures. Students experimented with basic hand building techniques of slumping, coiling,and slab work and were given a docent-led tour, which focused on sculpture from both changing exhibitions and our permanent collection. With the elimination of art teachers within this particular school district, SBMA provides a most critical opportunity for students to explore three-dimensional art materials and sculpture. Perspectives 700 students from Mishawaka schools and area Catholic schools participated in an interactive museum program titled “Perspectives.” Perspectives is a joint program of the South Bend Museum of Art in collaboration with the Snite Museum of Art whichprovides 5th grade students with an opportunity to learn about the world around them, both today and in the past, through the eyes of artists. Students visit both institutions where they tour galleries and meet famous Americans, travel to exciting places around the United States, and uncover new stories about the America we live in. Gallery experiences are enhanced at both facilities through a number of hands-on projects. At the Snite, students participate in a creative writing activity which uses works of art as writing prompts. At the South Bend Museum of Art, students explore contemporary American art before heading to the studios to create a one-of-a-kind work of their own. Perspectives visits occur on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, October through December, and service hundreds of local school children. Outreach Programs Festival of Banners 2012 marked the sixth year for Festival of Banners. Over 300 entries were received from artists of all ages. SBMA staffer and project coordinator, Candie Waterloo, narrowed the entry pool down to 80 banners, which later adorned the streets of downtown South Bend. The theme, “POP on Parade!” asked participating artists to think about the trends and fads of today and what makes them “pop.” The results

of this inquiry were 80 colorful and unique interpretations of the theme. Festival artists painted their designs onto banners with the help of local artists and museum volunteers. Finished banners were unveiled by South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg at a press conference which exceeded our record attendance of 2011 with over 60 artists and family members celebrating this festive occasion. Festival of Banners is partnered by The City of South Bend and Downtown South Bend, Inc. Weed and Seed Alliance In April of 2012, the South Bend Museum of Art partnered with the City of South Bend’s Weed and Seed Alliance for a second year to create a community-based art project geared towards at-risk youth. SBMA staffer Candie Waterloo directed this project, working with children in the Martin Luther King Recreation Center’s afterschool program over a period of six weeks. Waterloo provided guidance for this year’s project—design a street sign with a positive message—by discussing symbols with the children, showing illustrations of common symbols they might encounter in their everyday lives: boy, girl, happy, danger, etc. After brainstorming about positive and negative influences, pencils were put to paper and the creative juices began to flow. As the afterschool sessions ended, Waterloo carefully selected ten young artists whose ideas would come full circle, transformed from simple paper artworks and reproduced into sophisticated and original street signs. Among the messages included on these signs were “Play Together,” “Hug Don’t Mug,” and “Inspire Love.” The project was dedicated in July 2012 with a special ceremony at the Indiana University Civil Rights Heritage Center, home to one of the artworks. Several prominent members of local law enforcement and government were in attendance, including Mayor Pete Buttigieg. These ten original works of art can be found scattered throughout the Weed and Seed district at locations such as churches, community centers, and local businesses. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigeig unveiled one of the Starting Over Stepping Higher street signs created in the Starting Over Stepping Higher continued to be a successful partnership with The Weed and Seed community Center for the Homeless for the 15th year. This workshop provides guests from the art project.

A Book and A Blanket – Feed a Mind Warm a Heart Wrapped in a cozy blanket, just imagine where a young child can go with a good book. In its 7th year serving the community 200 books and blankets were distributed to our outreach families.

6 | South Bend Museum of Art Teacher Resources Blog Learn MORE! Our online educational resource, Blog Learn MORE!, featured diverse practical resources for teachers, families and students, such as projects, classroom tips,and profiles of local artists. The blog is designed to engage community, provide inspiration to teachers and artists, and highlight family learning opportunities. Family Day Art Beat Staff and volunteers made over 100 colorful paper pendants in an effort to promote ourAmerican Series exhibition, “We Are the Ship.” The Cove at SBMA On October 7, 2012, the museum brought America’s favorite pastime into the upper level studios for an afternoon of family friendly fun! In conjunction with our American Series exhibition, “We Are the Ship,” SBMA invited families to join in celebrating the art of baseball. Over 100 guests of all ages were invited to customize baseballs adding personal touches with paint and stickers. Participants were introduced to a thrifty new technique as they learned how to use packing tape to create photo transfers, or homemade stickers, from Xeroxed images. Their one-of- a-kind baseballs were later displayed in the education area of the exhibit. Visitors were also encouraged to participate in an interactive education display by designing felt pennants that represented what they “stood” for amidst times of adversity. Their messages left a lasting impression on both our exhibition and our museum walls. Families were treated to a special surprise when the South Bend Silverhawks’ cheerful mascot Swoop dropped in for a surprise visit! It was a wonderful afternoon of inspired art-making, popcorn and peanut eating, and all things baseball! Roberston’s Apartments Aging in Place Group 2012 marked another exciting community collaboration for SBMA. Partnering with the South Bend Heritage Foundation, the museum provides an important service to residents of Robertson’s Apartments, a senior living community by offering monthly art classes to residents as part of a brain health initiative. Classes offer a changing curriculum where residents are introduced to a variety of art processes and media, but more importantly, they actively engage their minds and bodies in art making, conversation, and community. Scholastic Art Awards 2012 was an exciting year for SBMA as we proudly became the “official” regional af- filiate of the Scholastic Art Awards, formally titled The Northwest Indiana and South- west Lower Michigan Region. SBMA is now responsible for directing art teachers and students across 2 states and 18 counties in a juried art competition serving children grades 7 through 12. This year’s exhibition season was especially important as it marked many changes, most significantly, the first year that the students’ artworks were juried digitally and artwork was selected based on digital images. 25 jurors whittled 2,300 entries down to 485 for inclusion in the gallery exhibition. Over $2000 in cash awards and scholarships were awarded to participating students.

Annual Report 2012 | 7 Exhibitions

The vision of the Exhibitions department of the SBMA is to be the preeminent regional exhibition space for emerging and mid-career artists while simultaneously securing a connection to our larger collective history through traveling exhibitions and cross-disciplinary programming. Through this multi-faceted approach, the SBMA fosters a regional community of artists and connects them to historical and contemporary cultural discourse on both the local and national level while ensuring art as an essential process through which we engage the world and enrich our lives.

The exhibition schedule for 2012 offered visitors a diverse range of artists, media and content through 11 exhibitions in 5 gallery spaces.

The Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition opened 2012 with its usual exciting selection of work from area high school artists in the Warner Gallery. Juried from a pool of over 2,300 entries, more than 450 artworks in all media were on display with Gold Key award winners proceeding on to the national competition in New York, NY.

In March, The View from Here: A Selection of Purchase Award Winners from the South Bend Museum of Art Biennials and other Juried Exhibitions featured the work of local and Midwest artists that the SBMA has documented and collected through a series of long-running annual juried competitions focusing on current art-making trends: the Biennial, Midwestern Sculpture, and Craftwork Regional. For more than twenty years the Art League, an affiliate of the SBMA, has generously sponsored the acquisition of award- winning works from these exhibitions. The View from Here featured the Purchase Award winners from these exhibitions and showcased the museum’s collection of contemporary Midwest art.

The fall exhibition marked the sixth installment of the museum’s American Series. Original paintings and drawings by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson tell the story of the Negro Leagues in We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball. Nelson’s paintings echo the heroic figurative style of Thomas Hart Benton while intermingling narratives of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination an international sportsmanship; of fortunes won The Mighty Josh, Kadir Nelson, 2006, and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. The exhibition also oil on canvas; collection of featured an educational area where visitors could create their own pennant John Moores and baseball artwork.

We Are the Ship served as the lynchpin of Triple Play: Race, Baseball, Art – a series of exhibitions and events presented through a collaboration among the South Bend Museum of Art, the University of Notre Dame Multicultural

The Warner Gallery ended the year with an extension of Made In America: Selections from the Permanent Collection on view in the Carmichael and Rotunda Galleries, featuring post-1950 artwork with a particular emphasis on the varied use of abstraction and figuration in some of the largest paintings in the SBMA’s collection.

The Art League Gallery hosted 3 exhibitions during the 2012 season. Michael Lasater (South Bend, IN) combined video, sound, music and animation Michael Lasater: Video, Animation, Sound into a full-room, aurally immersive installation exploring themes of self, family, mass media, politics, religion and art. Artist Doug Kinsey’s (South Bend, IN) oil paintings and monoprints related to refugees investigated the idea of displacement as a metaphor for the human condition. Closing 2012, the miniature paintings of Art Martin (Muskegon, MI) and large-scale sculptures of Lee Brown (Muskegon, MI) combined “everyday” materials and imagery in unexpected ways resulting in the development of unfamiliar narratives open to interpretation. As represented by the diversity of the work in this year’s exhibitions, the Art League Gallery continued to be a veritable laboratory for contemporary art as produced in the Midwest.

In the spring, the Jerome J. Crowley Community Gallery hosted The Flowering Cross: Holy Week in an Andean Village, featuring the photographs of Robert Lisak along with bilingual commentary by Jaime Lara, Ph.D. The exhibition was the result of their visit to the town of San Pedro Andahuaylillas, Peru, during Holy Week 2008 to chronicle the rituals and celebration that take place at the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas,” a 17th century Jesuit church. The Flowering Cross was followed by the SBMA 2011 College Residency Exhibition of printmaking, handmade paper, sculpture and ceramics by the program’s participants and faculty mentor. The exhibition was representative of both the residency at the SBMA in 2011 and work created upon their return to their respective schools. Next, the Northern Indiana Artists celebrated the longevity and vitality of their organization with their 70th Anniversary Juried Exhibition, including artwork by 45 local and regional artists. The 2012 Community Gallery exhibition season closed with the annual showcase of work produced in the Museum’s education program by students and faculty, the 2012 SBMA Student/Faculty Exhibition. SBMA Docent Program 2012 also saw the long-overdue The SBMA, in conjunction with refinishing of the Warner Gallery the Snite Museum of Art, recruited and trained a new class of floor. This resulted in the close docents who graduated in 2012. Ten new docents joined our current of the Warner, Art League and roster.

Annual Report 2012 | Volunteers

Our volunteers provide the support necessary to the success of our operations, events and programs. In 2012 we continued our volunteer program by providing ongo- ing training and procuring new trainees for the Rotunda Receptionist position. The efforts of the volunteers who filled this position resulted in over 700 hours of service to the museum. Our Museum Board, committees, The Art League and the Docents combined their time and talents as well to coordinate events, tours, generate attendance and build support. Countless interns, hosts, and activity coordinators lent their time and support as needed. We thank them whole-heartedly for their ongoing support.
