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 />

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 />

August 20 and 21 during Wet Paint, which generated<br />
almost $68,000 for general operations, exhibitions and<br />
programs. Our heartfelt thanks go to sponsor WILLIAM<br />
VAREIKA FINE ARTS LTD and to the more than 300 artists<br />
who donated all or a large part of the proceeds from the<br />
sale of their work to the <strong>Museum</strong>. Thank you to co-chairs<br />
Jessica Hagen, Brooke Roberts and Tom Eberhardt,<br />
auctioneer Mike Corcoran, our many volunteers, and to<br />
all of you who joined in the Wet Paint auctions. Thank you<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 />
