Dear Friends:<br />
A Letter From The Board Chair<br />
Thank you for another year of support for the <strong>Nicolaysen</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>. We sincerely hope that<br />
you have enjoyed the permanent collections, special exhibitions, programs <strong>and</strong> events here at<br />
the NIC. This past year the NIC has worked to build a sustainable foundation for the museum<br />
while maintaining excellence in all that we offer. Bringing people <strong>and</strong> art together serves the betterment<br />
of our community <strong>and</strong> culture, <strong>and</strong> we are proud to assist in that endeavor. This report<br />
highlights our world-class exhibitions <strong>and</strong> collections, our engaging programming <strong>and</strong> community<br />
outreach, <strong>and</strong> offers a glimpse of things to come. We are looking forward to seeing you at the<br />
NIC soon <strong>and</strong> encourage you to join us for our summer events <strong>and</strong> programs!<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Peter <strong>Nicolaysen</strong><br />
Chair of the Board of Directors<br />
The <strong>Nicolaysen</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> experienced many challenges <strong>and</strong> celebrated some important accomplishments<br />
during the last year. The most important change came when the NIC said goodbye to long-time<br />
Director, Holly Turner. During her tenure, Holly built a reputation for the museum as one of Wyoming’s<br />
most important cultural institutions. Under her leadership, the NIC was recognized by the American Association<br />
of <strong>Museum</strong>s for a commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> continued<br />
institutional improvement. Accreditation by the American Association of <strong>Museum</strong>s is a milestone<br />
for the NIC as it positions us to make great strides in building sustainability, <strong>and</strong> developing exhibitions,<br />
collections <strong>and</strong> educational programs. The accomplishments of the last year situate us to begin building<br />
programs that underscore the vibrancy of our exhibitions <strong>and</strong> collections.<br />
I am excited about the opportunity to be part of the <strong>Nicolaysen</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> <strong>and</strong> look forward to working<br />
with the board <strong>and</strong> staff as we reaffirm our dedication to engaging the community. Join us as we continue<br />
to strengthen our commitment to excellence <strong>and</strong> build on our collections, exhibitions <strong>and</strong> educational<br />
initiatives.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Connie Gibbons<br />
Executive Director<br />
