WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 2 Chairman’s Message

Much has transpired over the last year at the Gallery, most notably a change in directorship. In November 2007 Pierre Arpin moved to Ottawa, assuming the position of Head of Visual Arts for the Canada Council for the Arts. On June 15, 2008 the Board was very pleased to welcome Dr. Stephen Borys as the new Director of The Winnipeg Art Gallery. Stephen brings a strong curatorial background to the WAG, along with many international connections from his work abroad. I sincerely thank Deputy Director Claire Whelan for her dedication and hard work running the Gallery during the interim. This past year the Gallery successfully completed Phase 1 of the Arts Stabilization Manitoba Program, a process which has led to many improvements touching on everything from governance structure to best business practices. One of the qualifications for the program requires that the participant’s year-end must show a surplus, and the Gallery has been fortunate to declare surpluses over the last three years. The Board, management, and staff put a lot of time into seeing this process through. Thank you for your hard work and due diligence. Our exhibitions over the last year brought a lot of attention to The Winnipeg Art Gallery.Warhol: Larger than Life ran for 13 weeks and welcomed over 24,000 visitors, provided programs to 2,800 school-age children, offered self-guided iPod tours to over 1,000 visitors, hosted 5,800 people in adult programs, and ran 3 sold-out studio workshops. Frank Warren’s PostSecret exhibition also brought thousands of people to the Gallery. Frank Warren himself spoke at two sold-out talks/book signings and was guest of honour at a Leadership Circle reception. While both of these exhibitions resulted in significant media coverage for the Gallery, they also brought countless first-time visitors, including many from other parts of Canada and the United States. This has been a busy year with the Board, management, and staff working hard and closely together to achieve a common goal, that of providing excellence in the visual arts to both our members and the public at large. I would like to thank all those in the community who continue to support us both fiscally and in a volunteer capacity, and those who attend our events and programs and visit our exhibitions. Our donors, private and public, play a very important role in supporting the Gallery and we thank them all. I would also like to thank the WAG staff and Board who, over the last three years, have made my role as Chairman both a pleasure and an experience I will always remember. The years have gone by in a flash as one amazing exhibition or event blended into the next. I, along with the Board and staff, look forward to working with our new Chair Naomi Levine as together we plan towards The Winnipeg Art Gallery’s 100th anniversary in 2012. Gordon R. Gage Chairman, Board of Governors

Above the doorway of the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College, where I served as curator and professor, the following Board, management, and staff are showing their commitment to the strategic plan and words are engraved in stone: The Cause of Art is the Cause of the People.

Our achievements would not be possible without the generous support we receive from so many. Thank you to our donors and sponsors, The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation, and our funders from all three levels of government. To our loyal members, thank you for your continued support and feedback. To the WAG Board of Governors, the Volunteer Committee, The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation Board, and all those individuals volunteering in our programs and events who so graciously and generously donate their time and expertise to making The Winnipeg Art Gallery a destination where people are excited by art—thank you. We couldn’t do it without you! As I write this, we look forward to the arrival of Stephen Borys, returning home to Winnipeg to lead the Gallery to its centenary. I would like to thank all staff for their hard work and dedication to the Gallery while we were without a Director and also to thank our Board Chairman, Gord Gage, for his continued assistance and advice.

WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 14 Collections and exhibitions

The Curatorial team delivered an ambitious exhibition schedule for 2007/2008, coordinating the research, design, publication, and installation for over 20 exhibitions. The WAG-curated blockbuster Warhol: Larger than Life, drawn from the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, took Winnipeg by storm over the winter months, welcoming in excess of 24,000 visitors. The momentum continued through the spring with the WAG serving as the opening venue for the international sensation PostSecret—a show whose candid nature and revealing subjects were impossible to resist. Local contemporary artists were celebrated in the expansive group exhibition Subconscious City, the Royal Art Lodge’s where is here?, and a number of smaller, focused solo displays. National and international art were also showcased, as was the Gallery’s celebrated Inuit collection. Works of varied disciplines, mediums, and cultural origins entered the collection over the course of the year. As always, particular attention was paid to work by Manitoba-based or Manitoba-affiliated artists. Additionally, several selections served to document recent or future exhibitions through acquiring work featured or to be featured on gallery walls.

The Gallery’s Curatorial and Education departments merged in November 2007 to form thenew Several artists of Subconscious City attended the Exhibitions and Programs department. By uniting these two critical departments, one tasked with the exhibition schedule exhibition opening on February 14, 2007 — Standing, and collection growth/research and the other responsible for the complementary educational components of the same, from the left: jake moore, Kristin Nelson, Eleanor Bond, Sarah Crawley, KC Adams, Richard Holden, Robert Sim, the Gallery will develop greater coordinated efforts in overall programming.

Although artist Marcel Dzama wasn’t able to attend the opening of Royal Art Lodge: where is here? on July 5, 2007, his proud parents Maurice and Jeannette were there, celebrating with the other members of the collective, Michael Dumontier (centre) and Neil Farber. WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 15 EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS

Exhibition tours. Artist talks. School tours. Art classes. Family Sunday. The staff of the Education department work closely with the curators to develop programs that enhance our visitors’ enjoyment of the exhibitions. Adult Programs Last year over 28,000 Gallery visitors increased their understanding and enjoyment of art through several carefully constructed programs. Art for Lunch, the WAG’s most popular educational program geared to an adult audience, continued to grow and expand its loyal followers. At many a session, in excess of 60 people joined our Adult Educator and other Gallery staff for the informative lunch hour program. Adult Education also further developed its offerings to the ESL (English as a Second Language) community, proving unequivocally that art is a wonderful universal medium with a shared visual language. Warhol: Larger than Life offered many new challenges and opportunities. Our volunteer tour guides were kept busy leading more than 7,000 visitors through the exhibition during the course of its three-month run. Talks by Thomas Sokolowski, Director of the Andy Warhol Museum, and art critics Arthur Danto and Robert Enright were well received. Both these talks were recorded on our new MP3 voice recorder which allows us to archive lectures and provide on-line access, greatly improving our service and the accessibility of our programming. The Warhol exhibition also marked the launch of the Gallery’s iPod audio tour program. It proved so popular, with over 1,000 visitors taking advantage of it, that iPod tours are now being made available for many of our exhibitions. Content does not duplicate the information on the wall labels but adds yet another layer of interpretation of the art on view. Frank Warren’s candid presentations relating to his Internet phenomenon PostSecret drew some 700 people to the WAG’s Muriel Richardson Auditorium for 2 exciting sold-out lectures.

WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 17 The Family Sunday program continues to grow and represents an increasingly diverse audience. The generous sponsorship of the Graham C. Lount Family Foundation and The McCain Foundation allows for free admission, making this bilingual family-friendly program available to many members of the public who may have never been to the Gallery. Musicians, storytellers, visual artists, mimes, and volunteers bring the art alive and engage visitors of all ages. Themes were based on the exhibitions Take Comfort: The Career of Charles Comfort, Inuit Games, 18 Illuminations: Contemporary Art and Light, and Through the Eyes of a Child. Between 400 and 850 visitors attend each Family Sunday, and many return with more of their friends and family the next time. Clara Lander Library and WAG Archives The Clara Lander Library plays a key role in research and learning at the Gallery. In addition to assisting staff and their research needs, the Library welcomes personal visitors as well as telephone and written inquiries from all researchers. It is one of the finest resources in Manitoba for information about art, the only centre with a mandate to promote public access to information about the visual arts created by Canadian and Manitoba artists. Users include art historians, art students, teachers, artists, and the general public.The library’s collection continues to grow with generous donations that help to fill gaps, and acquisitions of the latest titles being published on art topics nationally and internationally. One such gift that filled a gap was a collection of books on silver donated by the Marian Adelaide Robertson Estate in the fall of 2007. This collection represents an excellent resource for the researcher and collector of silver. A major accomplishment for the year in the Archives collection was the completion of Phase II (of a two-phase project) for the George Swinton records. This is one of the largest collections of private records represented in our Archives and is important for research on Inuit art. Documenting a period during which Inuit art began to be collected seriously, the Swinton records contain information about an important era in Canadian art history. Finding aids for the Archives collection are available at ArchivesCanada.ca. The Archives was also the recipient of a grant for a student project which was completed at the end of 2007. This project involved the inventory of our colour slides collection and preservation work on photograph negatives from the Brigden collection in the Archives.

(Top) Family Sundays are a wonderful way for parents, grandparents, and little ones to spend a fun-filled afternoon together.

(Bottom) Over 10,000 schoolchildren, from kindergarten to grade 12, took part in School Programs last year, using drawing, role-playing, movement, discussion, and storytelling to learn more about art in ways to which they could personally relate.

WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 18 Museum Services

Museums Services staff were kept extremely busy last year mounting 27 exhibitions in the galleries, packing and preparing 3 touring shows, arranging loans of 48 artworks for shows in other galleries, processing 177 new works into the WAG collection, and photographing works for 3 important exhibition publications. Futurism and After: David Burliuk 1882-1967, an exhibition opening in April 2008, was a challenging exhibition for the Gallery’s conservators, as many of the works were in extremely poor condition when they arrived. The conservators spent long hours doing very painstaking, detailed repair work. The rewarding result, however, is restored artworks preserved for the future. The newly stable condition of the art means the WAG can now send this exhibition on tour across Canada and the United States. Warhol: Larger than Life presented difficulties for Museums Services staff regarding shipping the works from the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh to Winnipeg, as well as to the other galleries on the national tour. The cancellation by the federal government of the Exhibition Transportation Service (ETS), used by all Canadian galleries and museums to transport artwork across the country, is a major concern for The Winnipeg Art Gallery. This cancellation impacts how we plan our artwork exchange with other institutions across WAG Conservator Radovan Radulovic and Julie Drapeau of the National Gallery of the country—organizing shipping in a way that continues to meet all museological and Canada examine a painting to determine what conservation work might be required. conservation requirements and ensures safe art handling.

WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 19 Marketing and Communications

The 2007-2008 year was exciting and challenging for the Marketing and Communications department. In addition to promoting all exhibitions, programs, and events at the Gallery, several months were dedicated to developing and executing an extensive marketing plan for Warhol: Larger than Life. The exhibition came to life through advertising on Winnipeg Transit buses, lamppost street banners along Memorial Boulevard, window displays at The Bay Downtown, and a large exterior banner welcoming visitors as they arrived at the Gallery. Thousands of Warhol pins appeared on backpacks and jackets throughout the city and beyond. These promotional tactics, combined with print and radio advertising, and unprecedented media coverage, made this exhibition a must-see for thousands of visitors locally, nationally, and internationally. On the heels of Warhol: Larger than Life, PostSecret also attracted significant media attention increasing with the visit by Frank Warren to the Gallery in January, 2008 for two sold-out lectures. The Marketing and Communications department initiated significant changes to key marketing tools to our members and the public. Tableau, the Gallery newsletter, was redesigned in the fall of 2008, transforming from the 11” x 17” format to a more compact 8” x 9” size and adding a convenient, pull-out event guide. The advertising strategy was also evaluated, resulting in the re-branding of the Gallery by incorporating a new design focusing on the WAG’s vision statement as a destination “where people are excited by art.” A clearly defined, regularly scheduled advertising plan was put in place with a distinct, instantly recognizable WAG look. The Bay’s generous offer of four large display windows on a permanent basis provided the opportunity to promote the Gallery to traffic along Memorial Boulevard, mirrored with a large exterior banner across the street at the WAG. We would like to thank our media sponsors for 2007-2008 – Hot 103 FM (PostSecret), 92 CITI FM (Warhol: Larger than Life), COOL FM (Jazz on the Rooftop) and particularly the Winnipeg Free Press for their ongoing support of The Winnipeg Art Gallery. We couldn’t do it without you! Andy Warhol’s image was everywhere in Winnipeg—transit bus signs, street banners, and the front of the Gallery. A comprehensive marketing campaign brought in over 24,000 visitors to the Gallery’s “blockbuster” exhibition for 2007.

The Gallery’s exhibitions and events attract excellent media coverage, such as CBC’s Chris Read and freelance art critic Robert Enright (back), here at the Royal Art Lodge – where is here? opening on July 5, 2007. WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 20 Gallery Shoppes / Merchandise celebrating Warhol: Larger than Life, Frank Warren’s PostSecret publications, and artwork by some of the artists featured Art Rental and Sales in Gallery exhibitions, kept staff in the Gallery Shoppes busy last year.

In this past fiscal year, the Gallery Shoppes/Art Rental and Sales were gifted to The Winnipeg Art Gallery by the Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery as part of a restructuring process. Sincere thanks goes to all members of the Volunteer Committee, past and present, for their 60 years of dedicated service in the operation and management of the Gift Shop, Inside Gallery, and Art Rental and Sales. The 2007-08 exhibition schedule offered the Shoppes great opportunities to showcase products and artists. In April, in conjunction with Duane Perkins 60/40, the Inside Gallery held a mini exhibition/sale of his work. Coinciding with the annual meeting of the Royal Canadian Academy held in Winnipeg in June, the Inside Gallery presented an exhibition of gold and silver foil-lined, one-of-a-kind glass vases by acclaimed Vancouver artist Robert Held, a member of the RCA. Robert was on hand to greet customers the day the exhibition opened. The Shoppes showcased many exciting publications including In the Shadow of the Midnight Sun, Cities: John Hartman, PostSecret and Edward Burtynsky: In Pursuit of Progress. PostSecret was by far the most surprising, bringing in a younger, more contemporary clientele interested in the postcard secrets contained in Frank Warren’s books. The WAG’s Subconscious City exhibition continued to draw from the same crowd. In conjunction with the Royal Art Lodge: where is here? exhibition, In the past year Art Rental and Sales represented more than 220 artists, 180 from the Shoppes had fun featuring some of Marcel Dzama’s creations in the form of canisters Manitoba. There are currently more than 575 works of art in the Art Rental program and figures, especially his limited edition,Monsters of Winnipeg Folklore. Warhol: Larger moving in and out of private homes and corporate offices, and appearing in “made in than Life was the most energetic exhibition of the year. From October to January, the Manitoba” films. This year the artists received more than $87,000 from the sale and Gallery Shoppes shelves and walls were bursting with Warhol prints, watches, books, rental of their work through this department. Through the Art Rental and Sales and the magnets, and more. Overlapping with Christmas, it created an exciting and bustling Shoppes, the WAG continues to provide access to Canadian and in particular, Manitoba, holiday season. artists and their work.

WAG 2007-08 Annual Report 28 VOLUNTEER COMMITTEe

This has been a special year for the Volunteer Committee to The Winnipeg Art Gallery as 2008 marked 60 years of an energetic and dedicated partnership with the WAG in a variety of activities. Five-star travel tours to Las Vegas, Northern India, Egypt, China, and “the Roman Empire.” The annual stamp sale. A successful bridge tournament. A tour of Winnipeg’s distinctive heritage homes. All these events helped to build awareness of the WAG and raise funds which were dispersed in various ways. We were delighted to continue our sponsorship of Through the Eyes of a Child and this year also supported the Gallery’s blockbuster exhibition, Warhol: Larger than Life. Supporting art education programs for youth is one of our mandates and last year we provided Studio Programs scholarships for 19 talented young artists. We also contributed funds to The Winnipeg Art Gallery Foundation and purchased books for the Clara Lander Library. It was timely in September, 2007, that the Gallery Shoppes and Art Rental and Sales were gifted to the Gallery as part of a restructuring process. During our decades of running Art Rental and Sales, hundreds of Manitoba artists have been introduced to the public and a portion of the funds raised paid to the artists. The Shoppes, too, have been a major fundraiser for us, and our members have enjoyed working as buyers and salespeople, sharing their love of art and beautiful things. With the ongoing volunteer commitment, both entities are in good hands and will continue our legacy. The 133 members of the Volunteer Committee enhance their own art awareness with private exhibition tours and visits to other galleries in the city. Two art study groups meet regularly to research and make presentations on classic, modern, and contemporary art and architecture. The Volunteer Committee have a long history with Studio Programs, having awarded Some distinct landmarks mark the 60th year.
