Annual Report - Oklahoma City Museum of Art

Retail
Museum Store
The Museum Store ended the fiscal year with $261,000 in sales.
Popular items such as galleria umbrellas, art books, jewelry, and
unique home and office gifts, as well as the Chihuly Oklahoma City
Museum of Art book continued to lead store sales. Additionally, the
store began opening seven days a week, increasing its days and
hours of operation to include Mondays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and
extending hours on Thursdays, during Art After 5 p.m. The store also
continued to offer gift cards, personal shopping, special orders, and
shipping worldwide.
Museum Cafe
During 2009–2010, the Museum Cafe made over $1.2 million in
total sales, a decrease of approximately $200,000 from last year
attributed to the economy. Sunday’s brunch and lunch menus
continued to be popular offerings. Toward the end of the fiscal year,
Sketch to Screen drove sales, consistently drawing lunch crowds of
250 or more people. Monday luncheon services, Tuesday through
Saturday luncheon and dinner services, as well as special dinners,
wine tastings, holiday carry-out orders, and catering services served
over 62,000 people, with approximately 65% of that number being
repeat customers. Inside catering services, including rehearsal
dinners, anniversary parties, private parties, and large seated
dinners, as well as restaurant services for tour groups continued to
be successful offerings.
Cocktails on the Skyline experienced its most successful season to
date. The Art After 5PM program with $5 general admission after 5
p.m. drew record crowds to the Museum’s roof terrace on Thursday
evenings. The Museum Cafe continued to offer its Afternoon Tea
service, with private teas, birthday parties, and special “dressup”
occasions for young girls. Dinner and a Movie packages and
catering for many Museum events continued the strong partnership
of Museum and Cafe.
