BLACKSTONE HALL, LOOKING NORTH. ARCHITECTURAL CAS TS. GrFT OF MR. AND MRS. T. B. BLACKSTONE , 1903. Twenty-fifth Annual Report of the Trustees Chicago, June 7, 1904. To the Governing Members of the Art Institute of Chicago: Two weeks ago, upon May 24, 1904, the Art Institute passed ~he twenty-fifth anniversary of its incorporation. We note this anniversary with pleasure, because our his- tory, though short, has been suce:essful enough to warrant high hopes for the future. The institution was founded upon no gill or endowment, but began with nothing but the ideals and intentions of the founders. Our museum now easily takes its place by the side of similar institu- tions in other cities. The first eight or ten years were a time of preparation, and the collections have been gathered for the most paxt within the last ten years. Two only of the present Trustees have been Trustees during the whole history of the institution, Mr. Samuel M. Nicker- son and Mr. Charles L. Hutchinson. Mr. W. M. R. French, the Director, was one of the original Trustees, and Mr. N. H. Carpenter, the Secretary, has been in the service of the Art Institute during its whole history. The five per- sons chosen as incorporators are all living, well-known and valued citizens of Chicago: Marshall Field, Murry N el- son Sr., Charles D. Hamill, Ferd. W. Peck, and George E. Adams. The time appears opportune for a review of the history of the institution from the beginning, and a brief historical skete:h accompanies this report. 13 14. THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO Hitherto the Art Institute has been wholly built up and supported by private liberality. The only external aid it has received has been the $200,000 appropriated by the Columbian Exposition, and the privilege o£ building upon the Lake Front. The important events of the last year give us the im- mediate prospect of an income from taxation. Mention was made in the report of last year of measures passed by the Illinois State legislature which deeply con- cerned the Art Institute. The situation at that time was as follows: An act passed in April, 1903, had conveyed to the South Park Commissioners the control of that part of Grant Park (formerly known as "The Lake Front") east of the Illinois Central tracks. The land on the Lake Front upon which the Art Institute stands, from Jackson Boulevard to Randolph Street and technically the building itself, belonged to the city of. Chicago. Another act had been passed by the legislature (printed in full in the re- port· of last year), the effect of which was to authorize the South Park Commissioners to permit the new Field Columbian Museum to be built in Grant Park, and to per- mit the Art Institute to build extensions of its building. It also ~uthorized the South Park Commissioners to levy an annual tax for the maintenance of the Art Institute and the Field Columbian Museum, provided such tax be approved by a majority of the legal voters of the park district. To render these acts effective, an ordinance was passed by the City Council of the city o£ Chicago, July 20, 1903, conveying to the South Park Commissioners complete con- trol of that part of Grant Park west of the railroad and north of Jackson Boulevard, subject to the rights of the REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES 15 Art Institute under its contract with the city, and subject also to certain rights of the Crerar Library, etc. By the same ordinance the Mayor and Comptroller were author- ized to transfer the building of the Art Institute to the South Park Commissioners. As required by law the owners of a majority of the frontage of the lots and land on Michigan Avenue abutting on this part of Grant Park, filed with the South Park Commissioners their written consents to the South Park Commissioners taking under their control the whole or any portion of Grant Park. Upon December 30, 1903, the South Park Commis- sioners accepted this ordinance and agreed to take under their control the land in question and the Art Institute building. By a deed dated February 17, 1904, the city of Chicago conveyed to the South Park Commissioners all right, title and interest in the Art Institute building, subject to the rights of the Art Institute under the ordinance of March 30, 1891. Upon the same day, Feb- ruary 17,. 1904, the South Park Commissioners accepted the deed of the Art Institute building upon condition that the President and Auditor of the South Park Commission- ers be made ex officio Trustees of the Art Institute. The effect of these proceedings was to transfer the Art Institute from the city to the South Park Commissioners without affecting in any way the rights which the Art Institute has hitherto possessed. The Executive Committee of the Art Institute im- mediately 3.ppealed to the South Park Commissioners to have the matter of a half mill tax for the maintenance of Museums in public parks submitted to the voters in the South Park District, and at the regular election of April 5, 1904, the proposition was submitted in the following form: 16 THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO Proposed Annual Levy of ~ Mill Tax by South Park Com- missione'rs to Maintain any Museum or Museums Now or Hereafter Located in G'rant Park. To authorize the South Park Commissioners to annually levy a tax of one-half mill on each dollar of taxable property embraced in the South Park District, according to the valua- tion of the same, as made for the purpose of State and County taxation by, the general assessment last preceding the time when such one-half mill tax shall be levied, said tax to be used for the purpose of maintaining and caring for any mu- seum or museums of Art, Science or Natural History, and the buildings and grounds thereof, which shall be maintained within Grant Park, under the provisions of an Act entitled: "An Act to amend an Act entitled: 'An Act concerning Mu- seums in Public Parks,' approved June 17, 1893, approved May 14, 1903, in force July 1, 1903." The result of the election was that the proposition was carri-ed by a large majority.

    Summer 2019 Director’s Letter Dear Members, Summer in the Northwest is a glorious time of year. It is also notoriously busy. If you are like most people, you are eager fill your weekends with fun and adventure. Whether you are re-visiting some of your favorite places or discovering new ones, I hope Maryhill is on your summer short list. We certainly have plenty to tempt you. On July 13 we open the special exhibition West Coast Woodcut: Contemporary Relief Prints by Regional Artists, which showcases some of the best printmakers of the region. The 60 prints on view feature masterfully rendered landscapes, flora and fauna of the West coast, along with explorations of social and environmental issues. Plein air artists will be back in action this summer when the 2019 Pacific Northwest Plein Air in the Columbia River Gorge kicks off in late July; throughout August we will exhibit their paintings in the museum’s M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust Education Center. The show is always a delight and I look forward to seeing the Gorge through the eyes of these talented artists. Speaking of the Gorge — we are in the thick of it with the Exquisite Gorge Project, a collaborative printmaking effort that has brought together 11 artists to create large-scale woodblock prints reflective of a 220-mile stretch of the Columbia River. On August 24 we invite you to participate in the culmination of the project as the print blocks are inked, laid end-to-end and printed using a steamroller on the grounds at Maryhill.
