With the new fiscal year, we once again pledge our commitment to serving you, our public. Anthony J. Spiridigloizzi President 2 2013-14 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 The renowned artworks in the Museum’s permanent collection are at the heart of all we undertake. The exhibitions, research, care, and growth of that collection enable us to enrich the lives of our visitors. Artworks enter the permanent collection by a number of paths— gifts, purchases, and bequests. This past year the Museum added 30 works of art to the collection, as noted on the following pages. Two of those works—a corner cabinet and a photograph— represent the noteworthy stories that accompany gifts to the collection. The Museum was contacted by a descendant of Buffalo, New York designer and cabinetmaker Charles Rohlfs (1853-1936). She knew she owned a remarkable object—a two-part corner cabinet that this renowned artist made for his own home. Around 1897, Charles Rohlfs focused his career on furniture design and construction, soon opening a shop in Buffalo. Rohlfs’ idiosyncratic and innovative designs, which are inspired by the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles, drew remarkable press when exhibited at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition and his work soon gained national and international acclaim. Today, museums and collectors seek the distinctive and eccentric designs that incorporate sinuous lines and Richard Pousette-Dart, American (1916-92), Theodoros Stamos, 1950 expressive carving.

The direction, strategies and projects identified in the enclosed New York State Downtown Revitalization Initiative application will guide our efforts to reinvigorate the heart of Utica. The City is poised for significant community transformation centered in economic development and growth. The $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative investment would allow government, private business, non-profit organizations and residents to capitalize on these emerging opportunities before us. Our community identified the character and authenticity of Downtown Utica as something to be developed and built upon. By filling vacant storefronts, providing urban living opportunities, enhancing public spaces, supporting business development and highlighting our diversity, we will make Utica a more vibrant, livable and sustainable community. With strong public-private partnerships, I am confident we can create transformative change and unprecedented opportunity, not just for the City of Utica, but for the entire Mohawk Valley Region. I am proud to submit our application for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative and look forward to making this vision for Downtown Utica a reality.

    A PATH TOWARD PROSPERITY Workforce Ready Phase One of Oneida County’s Vision 2020 Initiative Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. Forestport Boonville Florence Ava Remsen Camden Annsville Steuben Western Lee Floyd Trenton Vienna Rome Marcy Verona Westmoreland Whitestown Utica Sherrill Vernon New Hartford Kirkland Augusta Paris Marshall Bridgewater A Path Toward Prosperity This region, throughout our history, has reverberated with vitality and excitement. We have gone from a Con- tinental Army outpost to a transportation hub on the Erie Canal. We came through the industrial revolution as a leader in silverware, copper and brass, knitting mills and factories that exhibited the fortitude of our region. After World War II, we became home to a major Air Force Base that fueled the economy. Built upon the backs of hard-working innovators from all walks of life, this region has not only weathered seismic shifts in our economy and culture but has always seized opportunities from the very beginning. As the 20th Century was approaching its end, we faced a dramatically changing business and social landscape. We tackled these challenges with the same indomitable spirit. Today, we can see a region once again on the precipice of greatness. After trials and tribulations, the future is in our hands and its success depends on all of us. Now is the time, once again, to seize the opportunities before us. That starts with understand- ing the obstacles that may lie between today and a prosperous future — a future so close we can almost touch it — then building the bridge to get there.
