Velloney died in August, he left his entire estate to the museum. In addition to valuable real estate, the estate included a remarkable collection of decorative objects and works on paper, from which he stipulated that the museum be given any works that it wished to accession, with the balance to be sold and any remaining profit donated to the museum. These two ice- cream coolers are among the delightful objects that now make their home in the museum, thanks to Mr. Velloney’s generous gift. Factory of Jacob-Petit (French, 1830–65).

As this process has evolved, it has become more and more apparent that this project is about much more than simply creating more and better space within the walls of this institution. It is about building this community. The arts in northeastern Ohio generate more than a billion dollars in business activity annually, and in an increasingly knowledge-based economy, they are critical for attracting and retaining talented and highly educated people. The predominance of such people among our citizenry, in turn, further strengthens the environment for all those involved in cre- ative life. The museum has a central role to play in fostering a vital arts community here. To understand how this role has evolved over the years and envision how we can shape its future, it is necessary to recall where we began and retrace our steps. The museum’s founding plan was visionary and straight- forward: to play a major civic role in Cleveland and to establish this city among the great metropolises of the country.
