Because of you, more members of our community have experienced Northwest art in all of its facets through museum visits, program participation, and attendance at MoNA events and celebrations. MoNA’s commitment to providing free museum admission has fostered a broader and more engaged audience, making the museum accessible to more first-time visitors than ever before. MoNA, with your support, continues to fund significant investments in programming and collections. Our comprehensive arts education program, MoNA Link, continues to increase the number of students served. Growing excitement about the Art & Science Camp has resulted in an expansion of this dynamic collaboration. We’ve acquired additional space for art conservation, exhibit preparation, and research. With your help, we added to the Museum’s expertise and capability through reorganization and new talent. Following planning and budgeting in 2016, our curatorial and collections team now includes Chloe Dye Sherpe: Curator, Kathleen Moles: Northwest Projects Curator, Deanna Lane: Consulting Collections Manager, and Stefanie Terasaki: Assistant Registrar. The team is planning ambitious exhibitions from the Museum’s permanent collection and growing our archive of artist letters, photographs, and documents. A highlight of 2016, Matched Makers: Northwest Artist Couples, featured the work of 28 couples that have shared their creative lives. Guest-curated by Vicki Halper, this special exhibition generated strong response from the press and the public. Another exceptional exhibit, Beyond Aztlan: Mexican and Chicano/a Artists in the Northwest featured works from fifteen artists who, as curator Dr. Flores stated, “challenge stereotypes and essentialist notions about ‘Mexican’ or ‘ethnic’ art.” At the annual MoNA Luminaries Awards, we had the privilege of honoring legacy artists Alfredo Arreguín, Fay and Robert Jones, Tony Angell, and Patti Warashina, along with legendary art historian Bill Holm. Awards were given to artists of promise Sutton Beres Culler, Saya Moriyasu, Denzil Hurley, and George Rodriguez, and special recognition for art history was presented to Dr. Charlotte Townsend-Gault. Your support for the Luminaries program has enabled MoNA to strengthen the connections between these generations of artists. In response to the extraordinary community response, MoNA presented our the second Surge event. Surge brought together scientists and artists who are exploring the impact of climate change on coastal communities. Through a keynote address, panel discussion, and exhibit which conveyed complex scientific concepts using powerful images, this team of artists and scientists deepened the public’s understanding of the critical issues surrounding climate change. Due to the program’s success, we will look to continue Surge presentations in the future. MoNA’s leadership is committed to its mission of connecting people to the art, diverse cultures and environments of the Northwest, and we’re looking to the future. In this past year, the Board of Trustees approved a strategic business plan connected to achievable strategic goals. We are excited to take this journey with you. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I thank you for your continued support of MoNA.

Not only did these artists live in the same topographical regions as Graves, they were also contemplating the natural world and its ability to inspire creativity. In addition to the emphasis on physical location and presence, the exhibit inspired complicated discussions around changing environments. ARTISTS: Lanny Bergner, Eve Deisher, Lori Goodman, Morris Graves, Julie McNiel, Allen Moe, Leslie Price, Ann Chadwick Reid, Emily Silver LENDING INSTITUTION: Seattle Art Museum April Surgent: Observations of Life on Ice April Surgent’s exhibit, Observations of Life on Ice, drew heavily on Surgent’s 2013 fieldwork in the Antarctic on Anvers Island, a place agreed by many to be one of the fastest winter warming regions on earth. As Surgent noted, “the Antarctic has potential to generate significant impacts on humanity and the rest of the world; from the advanced scientific research happening there, to the changing climate that is affecting the world’s ecosystems.” Thousands of pictures and a handful of journals informed and inspired glass engravings. Appassionata: The Art of Jacqueline Barnett 1990-2015 Often used as a musical term, appassionata refers to an intensely impassioned period or person. Appassionata: The Art of Jacqueline Barnett 1990-2015 was curated by retired Seattle gallery owner Francine Seders and contained dynamic artworks that evoked both joy and pain. Featured oil paintings “reflect[ed] an intense emotional state of mind (while) their composition and play of colors gave them strength and stability,” stated Seders. Barnett used bold colors, stable compositions, and fluid brushstrokes to reflect emotions that all individuals experience. 5 2017 Annual Report Annual Report 2016 D.indd 5 9/25/17 11:07 AM SPRING EXHIBITIONS MARCH 26 – JUNE 12 Beyond Aztlán: Mexican and Chicano/a Robert Flynn: Art from the artists in the Pacific Northwest Permanent Collection Spanning the last six decades, Beyond Aztlán Robert Flynn: Art from the Permanent assembled a diversity of works by Chicana/o Collection celebrated the career of this and Mexican artists currently or formerly of prolific Pacific Northwest artist.

Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Edward B. Thomas on April 28 & May 10, 1983. The interview took place in Seattle, Washington, and was conducted by John Olbrantz for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview DATE: APRIL 28, 1983 [Tape 1] JOHN OLBRANTZ: Ed, can you tell me a little bit about your background, where you were born, your early childhood experiences, your parents, who your father was, who your mother was, how they came to live in this part of the country? EDWARD THOMAS: Well, I was born in Cosmopolis, Washington, and many times when I've come through customs, when I was much younger and especially at the Mexican border, they would say, "Where were you born?" and I'd say, "Cosmopolis, Washington," they'd say, "Look, bud! Don't get funny with us." (laughter) But there actually is such a place as Cosmopolis, Washington. Nobody had any particular influence upon me, I would say, in my younger years as far as becoming interested in art, and particularly teaching art. I had a very severe illness when I was four and five years old and was confined to bed a lot, and so people brought me tablets and color crayons and pencils and stuff like that.

I'd like to know about your personal background, your family, your growing up in Seattle and Japan also, education. GEORGE TSUTAKAWA: Uh huh. Well, let's see now. My father was a merchant who came to Seattle in 1905, and he started a small business and eventually he gets involved in fairly large company exporting and importing American goods and Japanese goods. He, as I recall, had business in Japanese food, clothing, art goods, and all sorts of things from Japan, and then in turn he was sending lumber from the Northwest to Japan. He also dealt in scrap metal and just anything. MARTHA KINGSBURY: That he sent to Japan? GEORGE TSUTAKAWA: Yeah, he sent to Japan.
