ANNUAL<br />

REPORT<br />

<strong>2011</strong><br />

Creative and curious people founded the <strong>Art</strong><br />

Association of <strong>Newport</strong> in 1912 – artists, thinkers,<br />

writers – people who understood that art is our link<br />

with the past, a reflection on the present, and our gift<br />

to the future. It helps us to celebrate our roots and to<br />

find our place in history. <strong>Art</strong> teaches us how to see, hear<br />

and feel the world – to express ourselves, our dreams,<br />

our visions. <strong>Art</strong> saves the past and celebrates the future<br />

by preserving our cultural heritage. Our founding<br />

members believed that art mattered in 1912. It still<br />

matters. Almost one hundred years later, the <strong>Newport</strong><br />

<strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> continues to enhance community life as<br />

a shared place for the arts, ideas and culture, where<br />

creative and curious people come together.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES<br />

Time marches on! When many of you read this, the <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> will have<br />

crossed the century mark into its second century of bringing art to life in Rhode Island.<br />

These pages bring you reports from the 12 months preceding our centennial year,<br />

nevertheless during <strong>2011</strong> the <strong>Museum</strong>’s 100th anniversary was continually present in our<br />

thoughts and actions.<br />

As we prepared for the 2012 centennial, we reflected on our origins as the <strong>Art</strong> Association<br />

of <strong>Newport</strong> (AAN), a democratic community-oriented organization dedicated to “the<br />

cultivation of artistic endeavor and interest amongst the citizens of <strong>Newport</strong>.” A new<br />

charter adopted in 1915 expanded the AAN’s mission to encompass all the arts, art<br />

education and the establishment of a public art museum.<br />

Since the beginning we have sought to enhance community life as a shared place<br />

for the arts, ideas and culture. In <strong>2011</strong>, we continued to serve Rhode Island and<br />

regional communities as a cultural gathering place with a reputation for inclusiveness,<br />

professionalism, high-quality exhibitions and programming, and dedication to individual<br />

growth and learning.<br />

It is an honor and a privilege to serve this institution and my community as President of the<br />

Board of Trustees. In that capacity, I wish to extend my professional and personal gratitude<br />

to all of the dedicated volunteers, staff members, community members, businesses,<br />

foundations and others who have given of themselves and their resources to support the<br />

<strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s efforts to bring art to life in Rhode Island.<br />

Roderick B. O’Hanley<br />

President, Board of Trustees


DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR <strong>2011</strong><br />

What is the <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>? How is it of value to<br />

the community it serves? In <strong>2011</strong> we addressed these and<br />

other questions related to identity in order to define a<br />

direction for the <strong>Museum</strong>’s second century.<br />

From the inside, the <strong>Museum</strong>’s identity is based on its<br />

purpose as expressed in our mission and our vision for the<br />

future, and on those core values that guide our decisionmaking.<br />

From the outside, the <strong>Museum</strong>’s identity reflects<br />

what others believe is valuable and impactful on the lives<br />

of individuals and the broad community. Ensuring that<br />

both viewpoints are closely aligned is part of the work that<br />

makes the <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> a respected, trusted and<br />

beloved institution in Rhode Island.<br />

To this end, in <strong>2011</strong> we have dedicated our energies to<br />

enhancing Rhode Island life by serving as a gathering place<br />

for the enjoyment and enrichment of all. We have been<br />

building our collection of Rhode Island regional art through<br />

our 100 Works for 100 Years acquisition initiative. We have<br />

created more scholarship and outreach opportunities, as<br />

well as free <strong>Museum</strong> days, so that people, regardless of<br />

their ability to pay, can be inspired by art or become artists<br />

themselves. We finished the restoration of the Cushing<br />

Memorial Gallery, and created a compelling new visual<br />

identity with the help of Malcolm Grear Designers that puts<br />

art within <strong>Newport</strong> in a contemporary yet classic design.<br />

As the <strong>Museum</strong> stands on the eve of its centennial, we<br />

are very grateful to the many dedicated stewards – staff,<br />

trustees, members, volunteers - who in years past have<br />

guided the <strong>Museum</strong>, and to foundations and individuals<br />

who have given their support. We are equally appreciative<br />

of today’s supporters and leaders who care deeply about<br />

the <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong>’s next one hundred years.<br />

Elizabeth A. Goddard<br />

Executive Director<br />

The <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> is fully<br />

accredited by the American Association of<br />

<strong>Museum</strong>s (AAM). This accreditation is the<br />

highest national recognition of a museum’s<br />

commitment to accountability, public<br />

service, professional museum standards, and<br />

excellence in education and stewardship.<br />

Fewer than 5% of America’s 17,500 museums<br />

have achieved this distinction.<br />

OUR MISSION<br />

The <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> inspires passion<br />

for the arts in diverse audiences through<br />

exhibitions and collections, arts education,<br />

historic preservation, and arts and cultural<br />

programming. It focuses on artists – past<br />

and present – who have lived and worked in<br />

the Rhode Island region and celebrates their<br />

importance in American art.<br />

CURATORIAL DEPARTMENT<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong><br />

presented 16 exhibitions showcasing the<br />

region’s finest contemporary and historic<br />

art. We are the only museum in the country<br />

to focus on the art of Rhode Island.<br />

The ever popular <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Annual</strong><br />

Members’ Juried Exhibition attracted<br />

submissions from 242 artists. Juror Maya<br />

Allison, Curator of the David Winton Bell<br />

Gallery, Brown University, selected 72 works<br />

for the exhibition.<br />

Marion Carry<br />

Our major summer exhibition,<br />

“Remembering the Ladies: Women and the<br />

<strong>Art</strong> Association of <strong>Newport</strong>,” highlighted<br />

women who were instrumental in<br />

establishing and operating this now thriving<br />

institution, in particular Maud Howe Elliott,<br />

long time “director” [secretary] of the <strong>Art</strong><br />

Association. The exhibition also featured<br />

artwork by significant regional and national<br />

female artists who have exhibited here<br />

since 1912, including Helena and Louisa<br />

Sturtevant, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney,<br />

Lilla Cabot Perry, Gertrude Fiske, Isabel<br />

Bishop and Nancy Elizabeth Prophet. The<br />

show was well reviewed and publicized<br />

with articles in American <strong>Art</strong> Review and<br />

<strong>Newport</strong> History. Generous support from<br />

Patricia and Michael Fernandez, William<br />

Vareika Fine <strong>Art</strong>s Ltd, Terrence and<br />

Suzanne Murray and Diane Wilsey funded a<br />

beautiful full-color catalogue.<br />

In the fall, “Image and Innovation: 100<br />

Years of Prints and Drawings from the<br />

Permanent Collection” featured many<br />

works that were exhibited for the first time,<br />

thanks to funding for mats and frames.<br />

Bruce Howe was at last acknowledged as<br />

the donor of many of these prints<br />

and drawings.<br />

100 Works for 100 Years, initiated<br />

in 2010, embraces the goal of<br />

acquiring 100 significant works<br />

of art representing 100 years of<br />

service to our community. In <strong>2011</strong>,<br />

16 new pieces were donated<br />

or purchased.<br />

Our Collections Acquisition Fund<br />

will grow through a deaccessioning<br />

project spearheaded by local<br />

curator Karen Conway. Proceeds<br />

from the sale through auction of<br />

works in the permanent collection<br />

that do not comply with our mission<br />

(or were acquired with the idea of<br />

selling) will support the Collections<br />

Acquisition Fund.<br />

Funding to underwrite Curator<br />

Nancy Whipple Grinnell’s<br />

biography of Maud Howe Elliott is<br />

almost complete.

Cushing Memorial Gallery<br />

<strong>2011</strong> saw the culmination of numerous repair and restoration<br />

projects within the Cushing Gallery. We repaired water<br />

damage to the interior plaster, duplicated original trim<br />

and ceiling molding to restore the original form and color,<br />

refinished the main stone composite lobby floor and the<br />

badly worn gallery floors, with outstanding results.<br />

Exterior accessibility and aesthetic improvements to the west<br />

portico included restoration of the original doors, slate inlay,<br />

domed ceiling, and decorative plaster. The handrails on<br />

both entrances are scheduled for improvements in 2012.<br />

John N. A. Griswold House<br />

To ensure the integrity of the Griswold House façade and<br />

roof, we painted the siding and trim, installed snow hooks,<br />

and repaired gutters. The addition of warm-wire along leakprone<br />

features will prevent ice build-ups that can lead to the<br />

incursion of storm-water. The many intricate windows of the<br />

house are awaiting a final cleaning and coat of paint before<br />

new storm window installation, made possible through a<br />

grant from The Champlin Foundations.<br />

The six-year major inspection of all fire suppression systems<br />

throughout the facility took place in October <strong>2011</strong>. Minor<br />

repairs and replacements were needed. This corresponded<br />

with a staff briefing on fire code, suppression tools and<br />

procedure to ensure a fire-safe environment.


Technological infrastructure improvements include the installation of new servers,<br />

streamlined calendar synchronizations, and a virtual PBX phone system has increased<br />

overall staff efficiency and productivity. We upgraded and repaired the audio-visual stack<br />

housed in the Ilgenfritz gallery to accommodate its heavy usage. The outdated projector<br />

remains the only item in need of replacement funding in order to meet the high definition<br />

needs of our cutting-edge guilds and presenters, and to maintain the attractive nature of<br />

our venue.<br />

Coleman Center for Creative Studies<br />

The Kahn Building is one of the most highly trafficked<br />

areas on campus per square foot. Efforts to renew the<br />

building’s overall aesthetic include plaster repair and<br />

painting throughout the interior, and stripping and waxing<br />

tile floors to restore their original luster. A hazardous<br />

chemical disposal initiative has removed old and unused<br />

chemicals from the print studio. The installation of HVAC<br />

improvements, through the generous support of the Owen<br />

Coleman Family Foundation has improved overall air quality.<br />

Maintenance and improvement of the plumbing, ceramic<br />

studio, and general appliances have helped to ensure the<br />

overall functionality of the center.<br />

In <strong>2011</strong>, we upgraded heating and cooling systems at the Coleman Center with<br />

generous support from Mr. and Mrs. James J. Coleman and the Owen Coleman<br />

Family Foundation. A state-of-the-art SMARTboard and updated design software<br />

enhanced our Digital Studio thanks to the generosity of The Jean Margaret Young<br />

Brown Fund and the Rhode Island Foundation. Support from the Ocean State<br />

Charities Trust enabled the <strong>Museum</strong> to upgrade Coleman Center office systems.<br />

This magnificent carved Greek marble desk with<br />

Pakistani onyx inlay now graces the Cushing Gallery<br />

foyer thanks to the generosity of Robert and Joanne<br />

Schacht.Originally created for Schacht’s law office in<br />

Providence by sculptor Richard Graham, the desk fits<br />

beautifully into our refurbished neo-classical building.<br />

Graham studied sculpture at the Rhode Island School<br />

of Design and exhibited at the <strong>Art</strong> Association in the<br />

1970s, before relocating to Carrera, Italy.<br />

in-kind sponsors for making <strong>2011</strong> Wet Paint a success. We<br />

gratefully acknowledge the efforts of committee members<br />

Larry Bacon, Judy Blake, Martha Lynne Barrows, Jessica<br />

Bradley, Tara Elliott, Gayle Hargreaves, Jeff McCooey and<br />

Claire Newbury.<br />

During <strong>2011</strong>, 90 volunteers donated 3,108 hours<br />

to the <strong>Museum</strong>. Interns and work-study students<br />

from Salve Regina University, East Bay Metropolitan<br />

School, <strong>Art</strong> Institute of Boston, Rogers High School,<br />

Rhode Island School of Design, Evergreen State<br />

College, Connecticut College, Brown University,<br />

Clark University, and Drew University collectively<br />

contributed 761 hours. We simply could not get by<br />

without these generous and devoted supporters.<br />

Thank you one and all.


In <strong>2011</strong>, we closed the Griffon Shop, a consignment<br />

store run by <strong>Museum</strong> volunteers for many years, to<br />

make way for the Elizabeth Conklin <strong>Museum</strong> Shop,<br />

which will carry merchandise reflecting our exhibitions<br />

and collections, catalogues, art and art history books,<br />

original art by <strong>Newport</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Museum</strong> members and<br />

souvenirs. We will be raising additional funds in 2012 to<br />

support the launch of this new venture.<br />

The <strong>Museum</strong> wishes to acknowledge and thank the<br />

many volunteers who have given countless hours<br />

of their time in successfully managing the Griffon<br />

Shop. The <strong>Museum</strong> has been the recipient of their<br />

love and attention for twenty-four years. We are most<br />

appreciative of their dedication and look forward to<br />

having their help in the Elizabeth Conklin <strong>Museum</strong> Shop<br />

and in other areas of the <strong>Museum</strong> community.<br />
