FROM THE DIRECTOR It was wonderful to see you all again when we reopened the Museum for members June 23. An interdepartmental staff team developed our reopening plan and guidelines, in alignment with official health and government recommendations, and in cooperation with museums across Ohio and the broader United States. Your safety is top priority and the Museum is dedicated to remaining a safe and welcoming place for our members, community, and staff. Life at the Museum looks different, but know that our protocols are there to provide a safe and great experience with great art for everyone. Our Museum Store now provides curbside service in addition to a tremendous in-store selection. Schokko Café now accepts online pick-up orders and has host seating for both indoor and outdoor diners. Browse our new cashmere sweaters by Lingua Franca, and then take a break in the garden with a refreshing glass of ice tea or wine. Remember—you don’t need a timed ticket to visit the Museum Store or Schokko Café.
STAY SAFE, STAY CONNECTED Nannette V. Maciejunes Executive Director

Sadly, like many business, the Museum has been deeply financially impacted by the pandemic. In particular, the blow has been felt by our special events department, who plan exquisite weddings and stunning corporate events, and whose efforts normally result in a large percentage of CMA’s earned revenue. Your continued membership and support of the Museum has meant the world to me, and to the staff. As always, thank you for all you do for the Museum.

During our temporary closure, the Museum reached more than one million people through our online experiences like the Stay Connected initiative, blog, emails, and social media. We exercised our creative chops and critical thinking skills to become more adept in a digital environment. Our silver lining is an expanded audience that we will continue to cultivate through programs that are both onsite, when possible, and online. Keep checking the Stay Connected and Events & Programs areas of the website for up-to-date information about new and evolving experiences and offerings.

We were thrilled to be able to extend our acclaimed exhibition Art after Stonewall through October 4. The exhibition is a manifestation of CMA’s commitment to show how art can be a catalyst for change and an ally for social justice. Be sure to experience Melissa Vogley Woods’ Always CMA, a ray of hope during this time of uncertainty. We are also proud to partner with The Works in Newark to bring you No Mere Button-Pressers, an exhibition that showcases Clarence White’s connection to Ohio and the work of oftenoverlooked photographer, Ema Spencer, and the Newark Camera Club.

ALWAYS CMA
Columbus Museum of Art partnered with Columbus-based artist, Melissa Vogley Woods, to create a new installation for the Museum, titled Always CMA. Always CMA is a photo interactive artwork, fabricated from engineering grade high-intensity reflective vinyl. It stretches along the glass canopy above the pathway to the entrance of the Columbus Museum of Art, welcoming visitors. Vogley Woods partnered with curator Anna Lee to choose a work from the Museum’s collection that had been painted just as the Spanish flu was ending, in 1919. Louis Bouché’s Still Life with Flowers became the inspiration. Nearly a century later, in the midst of a different global pandemic, Vogley Woods re-envisioned Bouché’s painting as a radiant reminder that we have collectively struggled through moments like this before, and we will emerge stronger. Throughout the day, the piece creates a dynamic web of shadows that move and stretch like a sundial. However, visitors also are encouraged to visit the piece at night, when they can co-create the most luminescent version of the artwork. In the dark, the pattern must be “activated” by the viewer through the use of cell phone flash photography, or cell phone flashlight. Once the light source hits the work, it becomes incandescent, shining back at the viewer from their particular vantage point.

NO MERE BUTTON-PRESSERS Clarence H. White, Ema Spencer, and the Newark Camera Club Columbus Museum of Art – 8.1.20 – 12.13.20 The Works, Newark, OH – 7.18.20 – 12.28.20 The Works is currently closed until further notice due to Licking County’s Level 3 Public Health Emergency.
Columbus Museum of Art is pleased to announce No Mere Button-Pressers: Clarence H. White, Ema Spencer, and The Newark Camera Club, a joint production by CMA and The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art & Technology. Before Clarence H. White became a leading Pictorialist photographer and co-founder of the Photo-Secession movement, he was a young grocery store bookkeeper in Newark, Ohio. The joint installations explore the time White spent in Newark, Ohio (1887–1906), before he left for New York. CMA will focus on work by White and Spencer while The Works will examine how industrial and cultural aspects of Licking County helped shape work by members of the Newark Camera Club. The club included members from many prominent families and was headed by White. CMA will display original work by both White and Ema Spencer, another Newark resident and a budding photographer. Prints made from Spencer’s original glass plate negatives by acclaimed photographer and platinum printer Lois Conner are a highlight of the exhibition. “I was grateful that Lois Conner, with her considerable expertise as a platinum printer, took an interest in this project. Lois had only seen reproductions of Spencer’s work before, but she studied White’s platinum prints at MoMA while she was a young student at Pratt. Her interpretations of Spencer’s negatives are sensitive and beautiful, and I think the project was meaningful for her as well,” said CMA’s William and Sarah Ross Soter Associate Curator of Photography Anna Lee. The title of the exhibition, No Mere Button-Pressers, comes from Ema Spencer’s 1898 essay about the new camera club in central Ohio. She claimed that this group of artistically-minded amateur photographers were “no mere ‘button-pressers,” in contrast to the users of the popular new Kodak cameras that allowed anyone to take a photograph by simply pressing a button.

The Works will feature photographs by White from the Price Family Collection, and display a range of materials designed to provide historical context. Visitors to Newark also have the opportunity to drive past modern-day sites where these avid photographers once lived and photographed. This exhibition draws exclusively from the collections of Ohio institutions, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Robbins Hunter Museum in Granville, the Webb House Museum, and the Licking County Historical Society. It is supported by Denison University and made possible, in part, by Ohio Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

ART AFTER STONEWALL TWINKLE PANDA, PRINCE SHAKUR, EMMA LEVESQUESCHAEFER AND BOBBY T LUCK IN CONVERSATION
As part of its landmark exhibition Art after Stonewall, 1969–1989, the Museum commissioned and acquired for its permanent collection the collaborative audio installation Nocturne. The five Columbusbased artists involved in the project explore the bonds of queer community through interviews with friends and mentors, asking each of them to describe the moment when they first felt that they were part of something larger. The work takes the form of four speakers hanging from the ceiling, along with a transcript that visitors can take with them. Here, the artists discuss the significance of the work and the Art after Stonewall exhibition. The exhibition continues through October 4. PS: What has been revealed to you about yourself while working on your piece for the Art after Stonewall exhibit? ELS: I’m realizing that, when I hear these stories about becoming part of something larger, the transformational experiences of my peers and people I’ve not yet met, I feel nourished but also hungry for more. To hold these precious moments in all their awkward and sometimes painful moments of becoming is a gift and they bring with them the affirmation of queer life. And while trauma and dissonance show us that the world is imperfect, that with every step we must be protective and on guard, the deep compassion and joy of queer family makes us stronger, more empathetic, and able to fight for those we love. Now more than ever, I feel ready to put all of myself into the work I’m doing for the people I love and without them, my life could not be so full of joy.

TP: Why is it important to preserve oral Queer histories? BTL: Queer people’s narrative is often co-opted by people not within the movement. We all know what happens when marginalized communities’ histories are given to their oppressors. Written accounts by the queer community are all well and good, but they can be largely inaccessible. A lot of queer people who need to see themselves reflected back would not find most queer theory texts approachable. There is something built in an oral telling that isn’t built in self-study. You can have context expanded upon, you can read body language, or in the case of recorded audio, vocal tone and inflection. It puts more emotion into the accounts given. The emotion behind these accounts creates a bridge between our ancestors and elders and ourselves, allowing us to see what work has been done, what needs more elbow grease, and what has fallen between the cracks of our elders’ carefully laid blueprints. THERE IS POWER IN VOICE. It’s important to not only draw on these oral tellings of our history from our elders and ancestors, but to also leave behind a trail of oral and audio breadcrumbs for the people who will come after us. Q: How does the Art after Stonewall exhibit hold a mirror up to society about how the COVID pandemic is being handled by the government right now?
SPECIAL EDITION 2
PS: I think our piece Nocturne helped show the bare-bones importance of communication, of words, and of stories. During this pandemic and global unrest, the dynamics of many of our relationships are changing. As the world becomes scarier, it becomes more important to be each other’s family, to be vulnerable, and to define what we mean to each other. When we do this, we not only have better relationships, but also build our personal and collective power.
PAGE 9
TP: Queer people have historically learned that the government, their biological families, and their employers treat them as disposable workers. Predominantly working-class, queer people of color are put in precarious conditions, and our lives are constantly under attack. Being a queer person of color, I’ve learned to live in a perpetual state of fear of extinction of my community. The AIDS crisis mirrors the COVID pandemic because the most marginalized members of society are quite literally left to die. We queer people have relied on our chosen families for mutual aid and support, to ensure our daily survival despite our oppressors trying to kill us. We can look to the queer ancestors and elders to provide a blueprint for how to fight our people and how to care for those we love even when no one is looking out for us. The Art after Stonewall exhibit provides an opportunity to preserve queer histories and create community support. Because during times of crises, when we experience distress and alienation, it is humbling and inspiring to know that we have a legacy of fighting for our humanity and survival. This exhibition and the Nocturne installation affirm for the local queer community that we have a duty to continue fighting for ourselves and continue caring for each other because we are all we have got.

ART CELEBRATION 2020 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 6:00 PM
Join us for an elegant evening celebrating the power of art and its role in inspiring resilience and hope. Art Celebration is the Museum’s signature fundraising gala, which provides critical operating support to our award winning programs, exhibitions, and cherished collections. Your support of Art Celebration is more important than ever this year, and we are taking extra precautions such as reduced capacity and the offering of virtual options, to ensure a safe gathering this fall. This October we are delighted to honor Lisa and Jeff Edwards, steadfast champions of the Museum who have been integral to its transformation over the past two decades. We recently connected with Jeff and Lisa to find out why the Columbus Museum of Art is so close to their hearts. What first sparked your involvement in the Museum? [Jeff] My dear friend Ron Pizzuti asked me to serve on the Board, and I obviously agreed. That was roughly twenty years ago, and I have enjoyed every minute worked on Museum matters since. Will you tell us a favorite Museum memory? That first Art Celebration, after the opening of the new Walter Wing, after we had all worked so hard on the building addition, was definitely up near the top for us. This year’s Art Celebration theme focuses on the ability of art to inspire resilience and hope. How has art inspired you through this strange and uncertain time? Art reminds us regularly that we, as a society, have been in similar times before. Hopefully, we learn from these experiences we are undergoing and affect change. Undoubtedly art will be a medium which records
Art Celebration is a great way for the community to show its support around such a treasure to the City of Columbus. For more information on tickets or sponsorship opportunities, contact Betsy Meacham at betsy.meacham@cmaohio.org or 614.629.0328.

MUSEUM RELIEF FUND
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented challenge for our community. Like nonprofit organizations across the country, we closed our doors to the general public and cancelled most of our programs and fundraising events. Revenue-generating events will continue to be significantly diminished for the foreseeable future. Contributed income has now become more important than ever. We’ve initiated a Museum Relief Fund for donors who want to give additional support to help us get through this time. If you’re able to increase your giving at this time, this additional investment will help keep our staff employed and ensure that we will continue our mission to champion not only creativity, but economic and cultural growth in the Columbus community. Any additional support you can provide now will truly make a difference. These last few months have made obvious the importance of art and creativity, offering us a feeling of connection and inspiration in unstable times. We’re proud of the way the Museum has been able to continue to provide enriching experiences virtually and to connect with you in new ways. Thank you for your past support of the Columbus Museum of Art. Please consider giving an additional gift to the Museum Relief Fund. Our Museum has been here since 1878, and we have persevered through many great challenges. With your help, we will with this one. We believe in our hearts that, when this is over, the Museum will continue to serve our community in even deeper, stronger, and more creative ways. We believe this because our Museum family—staff, Trustees, volunteers, members, donors, and everyday visitors—has been, and continues to be, committed to seeing this institution thrive now and for the future. Your belief that a great city deserves a great museum makes everything we provide our community possible. The Museum is especially grateful to the following for special gifts made in response to the ongoing

GREATER COLUMBUS: THE 2020 GREATER COLUMBUS ARTS COUNCIL VISUAL ARTS EXHIBITION 9.12.20–4.18.21 CMA and Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts Council) are proud to present Greater Columbus, highlighting the outstanding talent and ability of the recipients of the Art Council’s 2019 Visual Arts Fellowships including Christopher Burk, Nathan Gorgen and Molly Jo Burke (collaborative application), Nick Larsen, and Laura Larson. Christopher Burk, a Columbus native, is a painter known for his documentation of urban environments in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. His work has earned him recognition from the prestigious Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Arts Council, and Individual Excellence Awards from the Ohio Arts Council. Burk studied at the Columbus College of Art & Design and the University of Akron. He has had numerous solo and group exhibitions in Columbus, New York, Santa Fe, Cleveland, and Chicago. Locally, his work is represented by Brandt-Roberts Galleries.

Nick Larsen is a Columbus-based artist who studied at the University of Nevada, Reno (BFA, 2007) and The Ohio State University, where he received his MFA in Sculpture. Larsen has had more than a dozen solo and collaborative exhibitions and has been a part of notable group exhibitions, including Tilting the Basin, a survey of contemporary art in Nevada (Nevada Museum of Art, 2015), and several editions of New American Paintings (NAP #131, #135, #143). Larsen works in a number of different formats, including textile-based sculpture, photography, and text. In 2019, he self-published a book of images, drawings, and writing that straddled the line between autobiography and fictionalized archeological inventory of Queer Mountain, a real, though poorly documented, desert wilderness in western Nevada.

IN MEMORY
Richard C. Lopez passed peacefully at his home on Tuesday July 21, 2020. An imaginative and exciting jazz performer, Richard was Musical Director of the popular “Jazz Masters Series” at the Columbus Museum of Art, where he produced monthly concerts which featured Columbus’s finest jazz players in theme-based and jazz all-star showcase concerts. He will be sadly missed by his family, friends, students, fellow musicians, CMA members, visitors, and all those who heard him play, but his legacy will live on in their hearts and minds. Born in Hollywood, California, of English and Honduran parentage, he spent his early years traveling between England, Central America, and the United States. His family eventually settled in Columbus, Ohio, where he completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at The Ohio State University, studying piano with Richard Tetley-Kardos. He moved to New York City, studying with Edith Oppens and Karl Ulrich Schnabel, and teaching at two of Manhattan’s Upper West Side music schools, the Bloomingdale House of Music, and the Metropolitan Music School. He returned to Columbus to complete his Doctor of Musical Arts Degree, again at OSU, studying with internationally-known pianist Earl Wild. Upon his return, he established himself as a jazz and classical pianist and teacher in the Central Ohio area, and was a popular performer all over Columbus, especially at the Short North restaurant, Rigsby’s. Richard was a superb performer, remarkable for his sensitivity and versatility. He presented numerous solo recitals of classical repertoire throughout his career. He also appeared as a soloist with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and Columbus Jazz Orchestra, the Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra, and the
