DIRECTOR'S LETTER Daniel E. Stetson This has been a year of many accomplishments, and also one of challenges and change. The first eight months and the last four were like two different periods, caused by a pandemic and then a dynamic change in how we all work. The museum and staff have met these challenges and have learned many new things along the way. It’s been a time to reflect on our structure, exhibitions, collections, and museum departments to provide a more representative and inclusive museum experience. This time period has been an adjustment, but it has allowed the museum to grow in positive ways such as providing virtual programs, developing our online collection further, and providing more accessible resources. This report documents these accomplishments from this past year, in the areas of exhibitions, collections development, education, external affairs and development – from live activities to virtual programs. Management consultant Peter Drucker once said that measuring the success of not-for-profits was through changed lives. It may be hard to measure the impact of individual encounters with works of art, but we know the special feeling when it happens to us. Personal encounters can become change, revelations, transformation, or simply moments of respite and recharge. Matisse talked about great art being something to enjoy from an easy chair at the end of the day. All these responses are possible. The LSU Museum of Art’s goal is to share a diversity of voices and views through visual art by the acts of looking, listening and doing. The diversity of our activities is done as standard practice, not as an exception. This year was no exception in our exhibitions, which ranged from artwork from Latin America to Asia; from paintings examining gender identity; to adornments made from the ordinary to the exotic. You will see in these reports how national and international visiting artists engaged with the community and with the campus and our members. New acquisitions focused on underrepresented artists and include local artist Malaika Favorite and nationally/internationally known artists Gordon Parks and Radcliffe Bailey. These works are included in our Art in Louisiana permanent collection galleries through rotations, and ongoing changes are planned throughout those spaces. These newly collected artworks are combined in an interpretive plan that works to tell a more complete and complicated story. In the study of art history, comparison and contrast are tools used to dig deeper on meaning and intention in art works. In our galleries interventions and interactions of artworks tell a fuller story about race, about climate issues, and investigate the meanings and joy of culture. Culture is a plural to be enjoyed and sometimes to be challenged by. Dialogue and deep thinking can be outlets, just as respite can be enjoyed when encountering beauty.

CHAIR'S LETTER Dr. Steven Heymsfield

Dwight D. Eisenhower was President of the United States and Sputnik had just fallen back to earth when an anonymous donor stepped up in 1958 to fund what would later become the LSU Museum of Art. Opening its doors on campus in the Memorial Tower in 1962 as the “Anglo-American Museum of Art”, the early museum focused on British and American portraiture, decorative arts, and architectural elements.
ability to adapt to changing times and needs is a testament to its positive growth and development.
The LSU Museum of Art moved from campus to the just-constructed Shaw Center for the Arts in 2005, a milestone event and this year we celebrate its 15th Anniversary. Over 227, 517 people have benefited from our exhibitions and programs during that period. This year alone, the museum had more than 22,000 visitors. The Museum of Art is and has been a place for viewers to learn and engage with art over these past fifteen years...to make connections with our collection and community. However, when the pandemic occurred and a stay at home order was issued, the museum adapted and moved forward by placing safety protocols in place so that visitation could safely continue and also answered the call for virtual programs and content. Prior to COVID-19 the museum’s online presence was growing and it grew even more due to the need for safe virtual museum participation. We have over 9,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram and have had over 47,000 visitors to the museum’s web site. The museum’s
LSU MOA offered exhibitions this year such as Adore/ Adorn - The Elsie Michie Contemporary Jewelry Collection (attendance over 7,000); Semblance - The Public/Private/Shared Self (attendance over 7,000); Destination Latin America (attendance over 9,000); and Gods & Things (attendance almost 10,000); and Living with Art: Selections from Baton Rouge Collections which recently ended.
2019–2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Over these 15 years the museum has broadened its collections and has evolved to become a major contemporary southern art museum serving the Baton Rouge community. Beyond just a repository for artwork, the LSU Museum of Art now: Promotes Culture and the Human Experience.
When the pandemic began, the museum stepped up to the call to offer virtual engagement opportunities, including Zoom interviews with local artists that are now on-line at the museum’s YouTube page and interesting online demos and workshops. Additionally, almost 500 artworks were added digitally to the museum’s online collection with more than 1,100 objects now in the database for viewers to discover online.
Supports Education. As a place and resource for students to learn outside of the classroom, the museum offers educational programs including Free First Sunday Talks & Demos; Neighborhood Arts Project, an arts access initiative to bring arts education to under-resourced areas in our community; demonstrations and gallery tours by visiting artists, even Sake-cup making with LSU Ceramic graduate students; and lastly school tours. 715 Pre-K-5th students visited throughout the year and over 653 students visited with monthly school tours. Gives Back to the Community. LSU MOA strives to give back in ways beyond the museum’s online learning resources. When COVID-19 began, the museum saw this as an opportunity for outreach that included distribution of over 606 activity bags with activity worksheets and supplies to East Baton Rouge Parish Nutrition Sites, and 1,073 Neighborhood Arts Project art kits have been handed out safely with the support of NAP partners including Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome, Art Bridges, LA CAT, BREC, and EBR Nutrition Sites. This program continues and fulfills the museum’s mission to make arts education accessible for all in our community.
with many treasured cultural institutions closing their doors and some are under serious threat of never reopening. The museum’s leadership is guiding us through this difficult period, but we need your continued support. Let’s promote this wonderful institution, community resource, and cultural pillar of Baton Rouge by encouraging new members to join, attending the museum and its many events, even virtual ones, and patronizing our outstanding LSU Museum Store. The museum’s success derives from its talented administrative, curatorial, and development staff along with the many students and interns whose prodigious efforts are visible when you stroll through the galleries. I want to thank all of them for their contributions to this year’s programs. The remarkable string of outstanding shows was made possible in-part by our exhibition sponsors who I also extend my gratitude on behalf of the museum members. Please accept my sincere gratitude for making the museum a success and I look forward to seeing you at future events.
These are only a few examples of the museum’s burgeoning activities over the past several years and months, but we all recognize the impact COVID-19 is having on our cultural institutions. Museums have not been spared www.lsumoa.org

EXHIBITIONS
Adore | Adorn The Elsie Michie Contemporary Jewelry Collection June 27–October 6, 2019 Curated by LSU MOA 2020 SEMC Silver Exhibition Award for under 10K LSU MOA presented over 70 works of contemporary art jewelry from the collection of LSU College of Humanities and Social Sciences Associate Dean Dr. Elsie Michie. The term “art jewelry” suggests a duality: both fine sculpture and functional fashion. These works, largely made by “studio jewelers,” artists working solely in the medium of jewelry, are finely attuned to the wearer’s body while also often carrying surrealist and narrative elements. This exhibition, like Michie’s collection, represented a wide array of material, skill, and concept, while maintaining the joy of accessorization at its heart. Adore | Adorn was the first exhibition of Dr. Michie’s collection and a celebration of a fruitful passion. Artists included Joyce Scott, Thomas Mann, Wendy Ramshaw, Ramona Solberg, Albert Paley, Peter Chang, Laurie Hall, Kiff Slemmons, Robin Kranitzky and Kim Overstreet, Arline Fisch, Robert Ebendorf, and Mary Lee Hu.

Semblance The Public/Private/Shared Self June 27–October 6, 2019 Curated by LSU MOA Artists: Jonathan Lyndon Chase, Heidi Hahn, and Doron Langberg LSU MOA displayed this exhibition featuring figurative paintings by three contemporary artists whose work explores how we negotiate representations of self in public, private, and shared spaces. With vibrant color, collaged surfaces, and glitter, Jonathan Lyndon Chase’s visceral figures merge and fragment to represent fluid gender, sexual, and psychological states while confronting the social pressures surrounding masculinity, heteronormativity, and physical and mental fitness. Heidi Hahn’s large-scale oil paintings feature women lost in their interiority, aloof from public demands on women. The women eschew smiling and move through the distractions and mundanity of daily life while Hahn’s rich layers of dripping color signal the emotional depth of their private psychological space. Doron Langberg paints intimate relationships with family, friends, and lovers in domestic spaces. Layers of painting, wiping, and scraping create soft, ethereal atmospheres that express the felt experience of these intimate and vulnerable relationships.

NICOLÁS DE JESÚS / VISITING ARTIST
PROGRAMMING Free First Sunday Talk & Demo LSU School of Art Neighborhood Arts Project Sites
Raised in the Nahua village of Ameyaltepec in the Mexican state of Guerrero, Nicolás de Jesús is an indigenous printmaker and painter. His work revived the theme of the calavera, or animated skeleton. In addition to traditional themes, De Jesús’ work explores repression, identity, immigration—issues that have touched his own life. During his visit on November 2–4, 2019, de Jesús led community workshops with LSU MOA’s Neighborhood Art Project, met with LSU printmaking students, and led a demo and gallery talk in LSU MOA’s galleries. De Jesús’ visit was made possible by the Community and Diversity Fund as part of a grant from the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, funded by the East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President and Metro Council.

Gods & Things: Asian Art from the Permanent Collection November 5, 2019–February 23, 2020 Curated by LSU MOA with guest faculty curator William Ma, PhD art history faculty member at LSU School of Art Gods & Things was an exhibition that explored the intersection of religion with artistry, material, and trade through objects from South and East Asia held in the permanent collection. Featuring an eclectic selection of both sacred and mundane objects ranging from the 2nd to 20th centuries, the exhibition highlighted depictions and representations of divinities, eccentrics, and sacred narrative as translated into pilgrimage sites, sacred architecture, ritual implements, and luxury objects. Capable of retaining multiple layers of meanings in different time and context, the objects in Gods & Things suggested a unifying approach toward religious art in Asia—one that reflects the reality of the practices and philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Shintoism in ordinary people’s everyday lives. This exhibition was guest curated by art historian William Ma, PhD, a faculty member at LSU College of Art and Design. Ma specializes in the artistic exchanges between China and the world in the late-imperial and modern periods.

DOWNTOWN
Curated by LSU MOA To commemorate the opening of the LSU Museum of Art in the Shaw Center for the Arts fifteen years ago, we presented this special exhibition celebrating art collecting in Baton Rouge. Through the loan of extraordinary works from nine private collections, we celebrated the creative spirit that binds artists to collectors and collections to institutions. Living with Art featured a wide selection of media, periods, and styles, ranging from German Expressionists to Southern self-taught artists; French Impressionism and international artists to Louisiana artists; and from painting to porcelain to bronzes and photography. We extend appreciation to the generous lenders to this exhibition: Karen and Jerry Ceppos, Janie and Chet Coles, Becky and Warren Gottsegen, Beverly and Steven Heymsfield, Salomia and Ben Jeffers, Mary Terrell Joseph, Cary Saurage, and two additional private collectors. Thank you to the following sponsors of this exhibition: Dr. Kay Martin, in Honor of Mr. L. Cary Saurage II; Friends of the LSU Museum of Art; Taylor Porter; Mrs. Jan and Mr. Sanford A.

Conspicuous: Satirical Works by Caroline Durieux March 19–August 30, 2020 Curated by LSU MOA This exhibition focused on satirical lithographs produced in the 1930s to the early 1950s by Caroline Durieux from the LSU MOA permanent collection. While studying at Newcomb College, Caroline Durieux was exposed to the now famous theories of Thorstein Veblen, who coined the term “conspicuous consumption.” Durieux closely observed the behaviors of bourgeois circles in the United States, Mexico, and France and found patterns of consumption and leisure united the upper classes. Caroline Durieux translated the quirky, conspicuous behaviors she observed in Louisiana and abroad into the prints included in this exhibition. Caroline Durieux was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1896. She graduated from Newcomb College, worked with the Works Progress Administration, and later became faculty in LSU’s art department, where she researched electron printmaking with radioactive inks and revived cliché-verre methods, in addition to teaching and practicing traditional printmaking methods. LSU Museum of Art holds nearly 300 works by Durieux.
