Thank you for being a part of the Martha’s Vineyard Museum alive and serve those who most needed us: Museum family. Entering 2020, the Board and staff Islanders isolated and alone, teachers and parents had great plans for growing our membership and forced to provide education to our school attendance through innovative programming and children, and members who knew they’d have a exhibits that would build engagement and passion different summer Island experience if any at all. for this evolving organization nearing its 100th Senior managers presented a set of scenarios to the Anniversary. However, for the Museum, 2020 wasn’t Board from the draconian (closing down about numbers, but about resiliency, flexibility and completely) to the resilient (offering an outdoor commitment. experience paired with a significantly expanded online profile and offerings). Critical decisions were We opened the year with the stirring But… Such is made based on a set of organizational values that War exhibit, featuring work by Steve Maxner, which prioritized supporting our Island needs, retaining was reinstalled at the end of the year in a larger staff and sustaining the long-term viability of the gallery due to popular demand. Additionally, we Museum. launched a Culinary Series, which kicked off with a Brazilian Night featuring Chef Zandro Souza of the Art Cliff Diner, followed by a Valentine’s Dinner prepared by four esteemed Island chefs—both evenings were sold out. And then, on March 13, 365 days after opening our new facility in Vineyard Haven, the pandemic forced us to close our doors and adapt to a world with only unknowns and uncertainty. This drove the Board and staff to rethink, replan and regroup.

MVM hosted local artists and bands as part of the Supporting Local Musicians project in the newly completed Rose Styron Garden.

The Board opted to keep the Museum as “open” as possible and prepared for safely reopening the building when the Governor of Massachusetts allowed. With much grace and resolve, the staff pivoted from operating as a traditional museum to one that engaged with a “distant” audience through creative and consistently high quality experiences. Our social media presence and following exploded, with daily postings of images, oral histories and “What Is It?” object contests that engaged children and adults alike. Chef Zandro Souza prepared a delicious, traditional Brazilian meal as guests learned about Brazilian foodways. In early July, the Museum reopened its grounds free to the public, offering visitors self-guided tours us- By the end of April, we understood that social ing maps created by staff to enhance the distancing would become the new normal and that experience. Shortly thereafter, we began holding State law would keep our indoor facility closed until socially distanced events, that included book talks at least late summer.

With great flexibility and resolve the staff and an Island adaptation of Michele Norris’ Race set out to determine how we could keep the 4 Card Project, which gave Island schoolchildren the Islanders. Since its inception, we’ve collected opportunity to create six-word observations about various items including everyday objects and race. artifacts, iPhone images and even an empty vial of the Moderna vaccine. 2020 also demanded that we On August 4th, the Museum re-opened its doors process what we learned during the pandemic to having remounted exhibits, upgraded our ventilation system and installed hand-sanitizer stations. We implemented a timed ticketing system to control attendance and devised one-way directional signage that maximized social distancing. Welcoming guests again provided a boost to us all and enhanced the Island experience for those lucky enough to be here. By the end of the year, we had mounted nine exhibits including Votes for Women, a celebration of the Centennial of the 19th Amendment and Neighbors of the Deep: The North Atlantic Right Whale.

2020 was also a year of new public installations at both our Cooke House and Vineyard Haven sites. With much assistance from devoted volunteer Nancy Vietor, the Cooke House site was Objects, photographs, and oral histories were collected as part of the transformed into a unique Edgartown destination History in the Making initiative.

While our commitment to the Island is unquestionable, it was gratifying to know that the Island’s commitment to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum is unwavering.

Though we are still emerging from the pandemic, we have without doubt turned the corner. As membership and attendance continue to rebuild, we are looking forward to beginning our Centennial Anniversary celebrations in 2022. Our goal is that 100 years from now, the Martha’s Vineyard Museum continues to inspire all people to discover, explore, and strengthen their connections to this Island and its diverse heritage. In the meantime, please renew your memberships, surprise and delight your guests by visiting often and, if you like what you see, tell others. Students visited with masks socially distanced to see Steve Maxner’s “But... Such Is War.” Sincerely, As we look back, 2020 proved to be a year of great learning and affirmation. Among the more surprising discoveries was that we possessed almost nothing that related to the pandemic of 1916-18. This prompted us to launch a collections initiative called History in the Making, aimed at recording the experiences of the recent months, so that in Cathy M. Weiss Heather L.
