On Saturday, November 12, 2011 the Concerts in the Court series hosted a performance by the chart-topping pop group Orleans. Famous for their many hits in the 1970s, including Dance with Me and Still the One, the band was met with terrific enthusiasm from both old and new fans. Led by co-founder Larry Hoppen, the group arrived in town a few days early to participate in some promotional events for the concert, including a brief visit to the mwpARTy held in the Root Sculpture Court on November 11 and a live radio interview from the Big Apple Music store in New Hartford. The high-energy performance thrilled the capacity crowd. Following the performance, the band stayed well into the night to greet their fans, sign autographs and pose for photos.

2011-12 Annual Report 5 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 Art

The School of Art is making exciting changes to expand enrollment in the PrattMWP and Community Art and Dance programs. This is being done through several exciting new additions to the school administration that are working to innovate new ideas, offerings and strategies to the school’s programs.

PrattMWP The PrattMWP College of Art and Design is enjoying a steady increase in the number of students on campus in the 2011-12 school year. With an incoming class of 93 students, the college has students repre- senting 15 states and 7 countries. While half of the students are from New York, the greater diversity of students on campus enhances the cultural offerings and builds a wonderful dynamic in which the students create art around.

The larger number of students on campus is making it necessary to evaluate the usage of classroom space and curricular offerings to insure the PrattMWP experi- ence maintains its high level of quality education for each student.

The driver of new strategies in enrollment in the PrattMWP program is Alicia Luhrssen, our Interim Admissions Director. Alicia brings years of experience from the Pratt Brooklyn campus, serving as a recruiter and then as Assistant Director of Admissions/ Undergraduate International Admissions Counselor. During that time period Pratt saw unprecedented growth in its interna- tional recruitment. Alicia is building a renewed regional focus in addition to the national presence, which has grown significantly over the past few years.

8 2011-12 Annual Report Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute The mission of the Museum of Art is to collect, preserve, and exhibit art, artifacts, and articles of importance; to provide instruction, enrichment, and appreciation of these objects; and to facilitate an understanding of the various peoples and the cultures who produced and used them. Museum of Art

In December 1980, several months after having the good fortune to assume the directorship of the Museum of Art, I published an open letter in the Institute’s Bulletin where I mentioned some of the challenges the Museum was then facing. Despite looming social, economic and global problems that were beyond its ability to control, I believed the Museum had a bright future because of the momen- tum it created during its first five decades. There were several reasons for this opti- mism: the good judgment of the people who guided the Museum during its early years, the loyalty of the Institute’s member- ship, an excellent physical plant, and the extraordinary quality of the permanent collection. In a world of rising prices for a declining pool of potential art acquisitions, I envisioned that the Museum’s collections would not grow at a rate that once was possible, but that we would seek, neverthe- less, to enhance our pre-existing strengths Alonzo Blanchard, and simultaneously reinvigorate our effort Troy, New York (1799-1864) to collect contemporary art. George Washington Dumb Stove, The more than 1600 artworks that were ca. 1843 Cast iron added to the permanent collection over the past three decades follow this plan. We have assembled a unique collection of contemporary artworks that reflect the French poet Charles Baudelaire’s admoni- tion, “It is necessary to be of one’s time.” We also built one of the nation’s greatest collections of 19th-century American decorative arts. Historical American paintings, sculpture, and a large number of drawings that broaden the collection’s stylistic and geographic range as well as its representation by women artists, were also acquired.
