Annual Report 2016 D.indd 2 9/25/17 11:07 AM FROM THE PRESIDENT

It is my great pleasure to share with you some of the successes achieved in 2016, made possible by your generous support. 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. Gary Molyneaux, PhD Board President

April Surgent, Antarctic Drift Ice, 2015, cameo engraving on glass, Collection of Here and There: Topographic John and Joyce Price Conversations with Here and There engaged viewers in a discussion between Morris Graves, eight contemporary artists, and their environments. 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: 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.

Matched Makers: Northwest Artist Couples Matched Makers, guest curated by Vicki Halper, featured 28 Northwest couples who make art – some collaboratively, others separately, in mediums ranging from painting to sculpture, video to embroidery. The exhibition explored the works of each pair as well as their ability to live together and mutually thrive from having a creative partner. Primary among the benefits of having an artist partner, Halper noted is the inherent “understanding [of] the demands and risks of creativity and the pleasure of intellectual and aesthetic exchange.” ARTISTS: Tina Aufiero and Mark Zirpel, Lorraine and Howard Barlow, Gala and Zack Bent, Deborah Butterfield and John Buck, Claire Cowie and Leo Saul Berk, Imogen Cunningham and Roi Partridge, Anna Gray + Ryan Wilson Paulsen, Anya Kivarkis and Mike Bray, Sheila Klein and Ries Niemi, Gwendolyn Knight and Jacob Lawrence, Barbara Straker James and Clayton James, Fay and Robert Jones, Lead Pencil Studio: Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo, Flora Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick, Sherry Markovitz and Peter Millett, Anna Mlasowsky and Matthew Szösz, Debora and Benjamin Moore, Ronna Neuenschwander and Baba Wague Diakite, Johanna Nitzke Marquis and Richard Marquis, Heidi Oberheide and Gaylen Hansen, Viola Patterson and Ambrose Patterson, Elizabeth Sandvig and Michael Spafford, Samantha Scherer and Jason Huff, Sally Schuh and Liz Roth, Laura Sindell and Buster Simpson, and Ree Brown, Patti Warashina and Robert Sperry, Mark Tobey and Pehr Hallsten GUEST CURATOR: Vicki Halper
