The Museum of Art – DeLand, Florida, is a 501(c)3 organization incorporated in the State of Florida and is a member of the American Alliance of Museums and the Florida Association of Museums.

his past year the Board of Trustees and the Staff T have focused their efforts on investigating and resolving the positioning of the Museum institutionally, both physically and financially, for future development.

The Museum, for its current scale of operations, is able to organize world-class exhibitions, develop competitive educational programming, expand its membership and attract new audiences, maintain its high level of media coverage and retain an experienced professional staff.

This level of productivity can be sustained in the present economic environment with an annual operating budget between $950,000.00 and one million dollars.

After evaluating existing funding resources at its current location and the limited potential for growth, it was concluded that the Museum should consider moving its operations to a new location downtown which would provide a more advantageous fund-raising environment for future developments. This will give the Museum the opportunity to collaborate with the City of DeLand in creating a viable Tourist Destination. By relocating in the downtown “Arts District,” the Museum could establish itself as a significant resource which would be capable of attracting local, county, state and federal patronage exclusively to enhance its profile and that of the City’s aspirations to attract tourism to West Volusia County.

Before moving from its present location, the Museum will need to find a buyer for its current building and property and plan a modest Capital Campaign. Stetson University’s interest in purchasing this property is being pursued with a decision expected early next year. Once all alternatives have been explored by the Executive Committee, the Board of Trustees will make a decision on how to proceed at the Annual Meeting.

In the meantime, the Staff has presented a Five Year Strategic Plan to the Board of Trustees for ratification. Once the Board signs off on this plan, it will be submitted to the American Alliance of Museums’ Accreditation Committee for its approval. After its review, the Accreditation Committee will give the Museum permission to initiate the accreditation process.

George Bolge

Messa ge f ro m CEO

George Bolge holds a Master of Arts degree from the Institute of Fine Arts of New York University with a Major in Greek and Roman Archeology and a Minor in Museum Studies and Conservation. Bolge is also a Fellow of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, holds an Honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Nova University and is the recipient of the Butler Institute of American Art Medal for distinguished contributions to American Visual Arts. In addition to being a decorated Vietnam Veteran, Bolge has been a leader in the Florida Art Community for more than three decades and served as the Executive Director for the Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art for 18 years and numerous other leadership positions in the arts. He served as Executive Director of the Boca Raton Museum of Art where he, with his Board’s commitment, raised funds to construct a 44,000 square-foot museum facility in Mizner Park. He has brought many important exhibitions to the State of Florida, including retrospective exhibitions of the work of Ansel Adams and Norman Rockwell, the graphic work of Renoir and major exhibitions of the works of Edward Hopper, Alice Neel and Andrew Wyeth.

Bolge received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Florida Art Museum Directors Association in 2011.

At this juncture of its development, the Museum of Art is poised to make a major cultural contribution to the City of DeLand, its membership, and to all the tourists that will visit Central Florida in the future. This institution’s viability rests on its ability to measure its strengths and weaknesses with its community at large and then assess and apply this knowledge to develop programs identifying new sponsors, donors and members, as well as, updating its fund-raising strategies and improving their effectiveness. Activities that bring people together and introduce them to the benefits inherent in their support of the Museum and its programing are generated through the collaboration with local businesses and governmental agencies. A result of this kind of interaction is the newly created “Arts District” by the City of DeLand, which, with the possible relocation of the Museum and the arrival of other art related organizations into the downtown area, will enhance appreciably the City’s reputation as a popular cultural destination.

Judy Thompson Message from President

T

he City of DeLand continues to be home to a wide variety of creative, exciting and enriching arts organizations and activities. The City’s impressive growth is, in many ways, due to the opportunities afforded to residents and visitors by our extraordinary arts community. In recognition of this fact, the City’s 2016 Strategic Plan’s action steps identify the designation of an Arts and Culture District as important to the future promotion of the City. The Museum of Art - Deland continues to be the leader in these efforts, adding immeasurably to the area’s acknowledged quality of life.

As members and financial sponsors of our many programs, you have been, and will be, critically important to our success. For that we are incredibly grateful. But there is more that you can do to insure our continued contributions to our community. Please consider introducing your friends and family, neighbors and visitors to the Museum. When you talk to others about “living in DeLand” and what it means to you – please remember to give the Museum a “thumbs up.” We have a wide variety of special events, exhibition receptions, gallery talks, and workshops throughout the year that I know they would enjoy. And an afternoon visit to our galleries and Museum stores is always a welcome respite from our busy lives.

The arts community’s contribution to our quality of life is so important. Arts organizations drive tourism, provide lifelong learning opportunities, create venues for positive social interaction, and enhance public and private education at all levels. I encourage your close attention to this annual report which will provide details of the Museum’s part in these important activities.

The arts are crucial to a life well lived. They are outlets for personal expression and vehicles to understanding and experiences not otherwise available to us. They broaden our viewpoint, open our eyes, and give us joy. We invite you to be our partners in raising our community’s awareness of the resources available to them.

V olunteers & Interns Johnson Award for the Arts is a prestigious award estabT helishedDorothy through the generosity of lifetime arts advocate and educator

Susie Preston, Recipient 2016 Dorothy Johnson Award for the Arts

Dorothy Johnson, lovingly known as “Mother Art.” As a former Museum Director and Board Member, it was Dorothy’s desire to recognize an individual or organization whose contributions, support, and service has significantly advanced the vision of the Museum of Art – DeLand.

Given her dedication to arts education, it was most fitting that the Museum’s 2016 Dorothy Johnson Award for the Arts was presented to long-time Volusia County visual arts educator and arts advocate, Susie Preston.

Susie began her teaching career in 1968, and in 1980 she started teaching art in the Volusia County public school system. In 2003 Susie took over the position of Volusia County Schools Performing and Visual Arts Curriculum Specialist and from 2005 – 2016 she served as Volusia County Schools K-12 Visual Arts Curriculum Specialist, a position that Dorothy Johnson held for over 20 years.

Susie has continued the legacy of Dorothy Johnson through her dedication and advocacy for a quality arts education and access to cultural resources for all students and teachers at the local, state and national levels.

In addition to all of these duties and accomplishments, Susie has always found time to be an ardent supporter of the Museum’s education programs.

She has served on the Museum’s Education Committee, worked tirelessly on the development of student and teacher workshops at the Museum, and has been instrumental in the creation and implementation of the Art of Reflection and Response Teacher Institute.

he Internship Programs at the Museum of Art – T DeLand provide students with first hand professional experiences in a museum setting promoting an awareness of museum careers and other aspects related to a non-profit business. Museum internships are designed primarily for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in art history, art education, museum studies, communications, business and public relations, arts administration and information technology. These non-paid internships are typically available in the Curatorial, Education, Exhibition, Development, and Marketing departments.

10

The Museum also provides a variety of volunteer opportunities for students in grades 10 – 12 and undergraduate and graduate students. Volunteer service hours are documented and can be submitted for school-based community service credits and/or course credit.

Together with college interns/students, approximately 20 Volusia County high school students volunteered for the Museum during the 2015-16 fiscal year, providing more than 1400 hours of service.

Museum of Art - DeLand

M useum Guild its formation 28 years S ince ago the Guild of the Museum

of Art – Deland has been an integral and dynamic part of the Museum family. The purpose of the Museum Guild is multifaceted. Its goals are as follows: • Encourage interest in art and in the Museum of Art – DeLand through various monthly programs relating to the arts.

• Assist the Museum by staffing the galleries for exhibitions and hosting receptions.

• To provide fundraising support to benefit the Museum with an emphasis on its educational programs.

The Guild welcomes its members on the second Monday of each month, September through May. The meetings consist of educational programs, hospitality, and friendship with fellow art lovers. Participation in the Guild requires a Museum membership, Guild dues, and a willingness to give three hours of volunteer service each month.

Guild Members participating in Mardi Gras on Mainstreet Dog Parade

Guild members staff the gallery reception desk and the Museum Store located at 600 N. Woodland Boulevard.

The store offers a wide variety of original art by local artists, including handcrafted jewelry, paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, photography, pottery, exhibition catalogues and other gift items.

The Guild’s major fundraiser, Wearable Art V: Fantasy in DeLand raised over $10,000 for Museum programming.

The event was moved from the Museum to the Sanborn Activity and Event Center this year to accommodate the 240 guests who enjoyed a runway show of fantastic juried pieces, a silent auction, and delicious food and drink.

This year, the Guild hosted 19 receptions, including exhibition openings, the Museum’s Annual Meeting, the Arts on the Grow student art exhibition for over 350 attendees, and the Camp Create summer camp reception.

The Guild’s Out and About program helped members expand their horizons with seven day trips to area art venues, including the Orlando Museum of Art, the Morse Museum, the Gillespie Museum, and the Hub on Canal in New Smyrna Beach. Participation in the Mardi Gras on Mainstreet Dog Parade and the DeLand Christmas Parade increased awareness of the Guild within the community.

In November, the Guild hosted the Patrons’ Retreat during the DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts. Light refreshments were served during the two-day event for the Patrons in attendance. The 23rd Annual Teddy Bear Brunch was held in December, with tickets provided for low-income children through collaborations with Mid-Florida Community Services Head Start and area churches.

Museum of Art - DeLand

In addition to contributions generated by proceeds from fundraisers, membership, and store sales, Guild members logged a total of 5,180 volunteer hours at an in-kind value of $54,200.

Exhibitions & Collections Museum’s schedule comT hisprisedyear14thedistinct exhibitions in the

galleries at both locations. Some were of historical significance while others featured recognized contemporary artists. The following galleries, institutions and individuals contributed generously to this year’s showings: ACA Galleries, Harmon-Meek Gallery, The Irvine Museum, Berry Campbell Gallery, The Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum, and Martin and Edith Stein.

From October 16, 2015 to January 10, 2016 the Satellite location hosted Charles Hinman: Two Points on a Plane. The three-dimensional shaped canvases in this exhibit explored a hard edged sculptural approach to painting.

Flat fields of color enveloped these remarkable geometric paintings. Sandro Chia: Fantasy & Myths was exhibited in all galleries at the main 600 N. Woodland location. This internationally known Italian artist utilizes imagery from mythological sources and other artists. He then interprets these influences through a vibrant expressionistic style.

The exhibits from January 15 to March 27, 2016 at the main location were: James Couper: There are no Other Everglades, Will Barnet: Graphic Retrospective and Sculptures by David Hayes. James Couper’s large format paintings of the Everglades revealed his strong painterly affection for these wetlands. The graphic prints of Will Barnet were a comprehensive overview of a lifetime of print making. A strong emphasis on composition and subtle gradations of tone were outstanding features of this exhibit. Small studies for larger free form steel sculptures by David Hayes were also on view.

Featured at the Satellite location from January 22 – April 17, 2016 was California Impressionism: Selections from the Irvine Museum. West Coast masters of impressionist techniques from the 19th and 20th century revealed a vi-

Syd Solomon: Concealed and Revealed was on exhibit from April 29 to July 10, 2016 in the downtown galleries. Solomon was an active participant in the shaping of the Abstract Expressionist Movement. His experience in aerial reconnaissance and camouflage design in World War II is evident in his unique approach to abstract expressionism.

Walter Meigs: Retrospective was held in the main gallery at 600 N. Woodland from July 15 to October 2, 2016. The paintings in this show were predominantly linear abstractions of landscapes. Also on view were examples of his invention of “solvent transfer” paintings which over time became more closely associated with Robert Rauschenberg. Philip Smallwood: Personages filled the Chris Harris Gallery with carefully studied watercolor portraits of people in their everyday surroundings.

During the same period, the Miles Batt: Retrospective was exhibited in the upper galleries. Batt worked predominately in watercolor. His subjects, ranging from abstract whimsy to photorealism, are unified by a strong sense of design and color.

brant and visceral approach to landscape painting in this stunning collection.

At the main location from April 8 to July 3, 2016 Carole Feuerman: Body of Work occupied the lower gallery and atrium. This sculpture exhibit of hyperrealism featured swimmers as subjects ranging from life size to monumental. In the Chris Harris Gallery Frank Rampolla: The Figure contained drawings, paintings and small sculptures by this influential Florida artist, demonstrating his energetic approach to the figure. Jack Levine and Hyman Bloom: Against the Grain filled the upper galleries. These two painters were at the heart of the American Social Realist movement in the mid-20th century. Political satire and religious themes were prevalent in the work of both artists.

An eclectic selection of works from the Museum’s Permanent Collection titled Linda Pinto Collection: Select works from the Permanent Collection was exhibited in the upper atrium gallery between April 8 and July 3, 2016. Ms. Pinto, a former Museum Board Trustee and a Museum of Art - DeLand

At the Downtown location from July 22 to October 9, 2016 the exhibit Theresa Bernstein: Painter and Muse was on view. Her work foreshadowed the Abstract Expressionist movement, making her one of the 20th century’s influential women artists.

Sadly, the Museum lost two faithful friends and generous donors this past year: Larry Griffin and Walter May. Larry was an accomplished artist, teacher, and patron who honored his wife Marcia by dedicating one of the downtown galleries to her memory in 2013.

Development initiatives through fundraisers, grants, donations and memberships brought in over $888,653 for the year ending September 30, 2016. The Museum of Art – DeLand ranked in the top 23% of all Florida cultural organizations applying for state grant support and 2nd among those applying for county grant support. This is a reflection of excellent exhibitions, quality educational programming, and competent administration.

Special events, in addition to the CAC 25th Anniversary Celebration, included a memorable Italian-themed evening which included a Vespa scooter raffle to complement the Sandro Chia Exhibition Fantasy and Myths; Wearable Art 5: Fantasy in DeLand; and Exposed: A Body of Art.

M embership year 2016, Museum membership continued I ntofiscal increase. Exceptional exhibitions, related program-

ing (gallery talks, lectures, films, & tours), opening receptions and fundraising events all contributed to the increasing number of Museum memberships. The Museum ended the fiscal year with 508 memberships - a 6% increase over last year. During this period, several members upgraded their membership resulting in a 15% increase in the number of Premier membership levels. Various membership levels include more than one person, which brings the total number of individuals with member benefits to a conservative estimate of over 823 for the year ending September 30, 2016. As in the past, the Museum’s membership demographic extends far beyond Central Florida with representation from the Northeast, Mid-West & Western regions of the United States and Canada.

Members enjoyed unlimited free admission to the galleries, opening receptions, gallery talks, films & lectures. They also received a 10% discount at both Museum Stores and special discounts on classes, workshops and camps. Affiliation with the North American Reciprocal Museum program (NARM) and Southeastern Reciprocal Membership program (SERM) continues to be a favored benefit for new and renewing members. There are currently 1,000+ reciprocal museums available to our members through these two organizations, with benefits determined by membership level.

We are looking forward to the new fiscal year and hope current Museum members will further the continued growth of these membership statistics by encouraging family, friends and business associates to become Museum members, or by giving gift memberships for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions.

See you at the Museum.

It is a teaching strategy that helps teachers merge arts standards with core curricula to build connections and provide the opportunity to make engaging correlations across content areas. The goal of the Institute is to increase teachers’ understanding of how visual art can support reading, writing, and complex thinking in their classrooms by offering a behind-the-scenes look at the Museum’s resources, and programs to support development of interdisciplinary lesson plans. Sixteen new and seventeen returning Volusia County K-12 teachers successfully completed the training. The program culminated with the presentation of Reflect, Respond and Renew II, an anthology, featuring the works of participating teachers and their students, at a reception with Volusia County School Administrators and principals, teachers, students and their parents, and community members in attendance.
