Dear Members, In this issue of Member News, we report on the outcome of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s 2020–2021 fiscal year (July 1, 2020–June 30, 2021). Even in these challenging times, I am delighted to say that the Foundation exceeded our FY2021 goals for all membership programs, the Annual Fund and designated giving for the Museum of New Mexico system. We reduced our operating budget to keep the Foundation on solid financial ground, positioning ourselves for a recovery to pre-pandemic levels of performance. Members and donors, our gratitude is immense. You demonstrated your steadfast commitment to the Foundation and state museum system despite the closure of our cultural institutions and the absence of in-person gatherings. We recognize your loyalty and generosity in this Annual Report. We are equally grateful to the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs for collaborating with the Foundation to develop virtual programming. You helped us keep members connected to our four state museums in Santa Fe, eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies. As we celebrate the accomplishments of FY2021, we also look forward to an exciting year ahead, with four major openings slated for 2022. On May 28, 2022, the Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner Historic Site hosts the opening ceremony for Bosque Redondo: A Place of Suffering, A Place of Survival. This new permanent exhibition reveals the truth of the tragic internment of Navajo (Diné) and Mescalero Apache (N’de) tribal members at Bosque Redondo in the mid-1860s and how the events continue to impact those communities today. In June, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture celebrates the grand reopening of its permanent exhibition Here, Now and Always. Two months later, the museum debuts the fabulous new JoAnn and Bob Balzer Native Market and Contemporary Art Gallery.
“As we celebrate the accomplishments of FY2021, we also look forward to an exciting year ahead.” —Jamie Clements
August also brings the unveiling of the Vladem Contemporary in Santa Fe’s Railyard Arts District, where a spectacular inaugural year of exhibitions and programs will soon be underway. Thank you, as always, for your unwavering support. We wish you and your loved ones a safe holiday season. We look forward to sharing an extraordinary year in 2022. Sincerely,
Jamie Clements President/CEO

VOTING TRUSTEES
Dear Members and Friends, Thank you for your generous support for the Museum of New Mexico system and Museum of New Mexico Foundation during this past dystopian year. Together we have faced and overcome many challenges. In return for your faithfulness, the Foundation has provided prudent stewardship. This past year opened our collections to wider audiences through museum-curated virtual webinars hosted by the Foundation’s Friends groups. I hope you have enjoyed these presentations as much as I have. More are planned going forward. This coming year’s opening of the Vladem Contemporary is not to be missed. The new museum will re-energize the collecting mission of the New Mexico Museum of Art in an iconic reimagining of the old Ilfeld Warehouse and Joseph F. Halpin Records Center. As the Vladem joins the vanguard of contemporary art museums, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture reopens it classic permanent exhibition Here, Now and Always. The JoAnn and Bob Balzer Native Market and Contemporary Art Gallery, supported by the Bill and Uschi Butler Friends of Indian Art Endowment Fund, also debuts. Public health challenges remain unknown. With your continued patronage, the museums and the Foundation will remain robust. Sincerely,
Guy Gronquist Board Chair, Museum of New Mexico Foundation

The Gratitude Report Member-Donor Generosity Boosts Foundation During Pandemic Year
The Museum of New Mexico Foundation weathered the COVID-19 storm for a second fiscal year, standing strong—and grateful—under an umbrella of member-donor generosity and support. Thanks to the loyalty of our members and donors, and the innovations of museum staff, the Foundation proved resourceful and resilient amid the pandemic turbulence. In fiscal year 2020–2021 (July 1, 2020–June 30, 2021), we consistently exceeded our goals, helping secure a solid future for our four Santa Fe-based state museums, eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies.
Fund gifts, we could have been in major financial trouble,” says Foundation President/CEO Jamie Clements. “Instead, we emerged in a stable position that forecasts a strong recovery in the year ahead. We are tremendously grateful that those who love our state museum system rallied to keep us afloat.”
Total earned and contributed revenues in FY2021 reached $8.3 million, lower than in previous years, but above our expectations amid COVID-19.
During FY2021, the Foundation’s five membership programs raised $1.4 million, exceeding our goal with 111 percent of projected revenue.

remained a guiding light for New Mexico arts, culture and history. Membership renewals were robust even as our cultural institutions remained closed over several months, increasing our member retention rate over our previous average. This brought our membership rolls back to prepandemic levels at 7,200 member households. Overall, general membership revenues reached $703,000, outpacing our benchmark by 117 percent. This trend of excellence extended to each of our select membership groups: The Circles, Circles Explorers, Business
payouts from 35 endowments that fund a range of select initiatives, reached $2.8 million in total giving for the Museum of New Mexico system. This included two major forward-thinking gifts: a $500,000 contribution from JoAnn and Bob Balzer to fund a new contemporary Native art gallery at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, bolstered by Bill and Uschi Butler’s Friends of MIAC Exhibition Endowment Fund that, once fully realized, will be valued at more than $250,000. This unique collaborative approach to funding will provide new opportunities for contemporary Native American artists for years to come.
Council and Corporate Partners. Each group exceeded its goals with 101 percent (The Circles), 140 percent (Business Council), 147 percent (Circles Explorers) and 150 percent (Corporate Partners) of projected revenue.
Fueling the Foundation Forward The year’s biggest gains were seen in the Annual Fund and Fund the Foundation, which benefited from a number of unexpected gifts that fueled the Foundation’s operations and support services for our partner institutions. The Annual Fund surpassed its $100,000 goal—generating a record-breaking $328,000, more than double of what was raised the previous fiscal year. This success came in part from a $50,000 challenge grant established by John Duncan and Anita Sarafa with support from Dana and Jim Manning. The overwhelming response to the challenge grant demonstrated our donors’ sustained confidence in the continued excellence of our cultural properties and institutions. A significant portion of the Annual Fund’s total revenues— gifts in the amount of $103,000—came from members of The Circles and the Foundation’s board of trustees, who stepped up their Annual Fund contribution levels in response to our Fund the Foundation campaign. These individuals exceeded their giving by making new and/or larger gifts to the Annual Fund, increasing their membership to The Circles leadership levels and referring friends to join The Circles. In the Development arena, which funds our Museum of New Mexico divisions, the Foundation reached 222 percent of the FY2021 goal. Designated gifts and grants, combined with
“We are tremendously grateful that those who love our museum system rallied to keep us afloat.” Countless exhibitions, both virtual and in-person, as well as lectures, tours, and education and outreach programs were shored up by our Exhibitions Development and Education Funds for a total across all museum divisions of $617,000. Finally, gifts to our Legacy Society helped keep the Foundation and our partner institutions looking to the future. This program realized $1.5 million from 10 planned gifts.
Our Astonishing Shops After a difficult three quarters, our Museum Shops made a strong recovery in the home stretch of FY2021. Sales soared in April and held steady through May and June. Federal Payroll Protection Program funding reduced the deficit to $87,000 at the end of the fiscal year. Considering that our Museum Shops went dark as museums were closed for most of the year, the results are astonishing. Meanwhile, our licensing program stayed strong, generating $110,000 in gross revenue, representing 138 percent of its goal for FY2021. “The success of FY2021 is due primarily to our wonderful trustees, donors and members who recognize the creative and cultural reach of our state partners,” says Clements. “As we step confidently into the current fiscal year, we are poised for even greater success, thanks to your ongoing generosity. You make it all possible.”

FY2020-2021 BREAKING GROUND, BUILDING COMMUNITY
The glass castle | In May 2021, Clearly Indigenous: Native Visions Reimagined in Glass opened to wide acclaim and a stream of eager visitors. The groundbreaking exhibition features work from 29 Native American glass artists, some from as far as New Zealand and Australia. The striking collection of work “tells a larger story about Indigenous cultural knowledge and artistic genius,” says Della Warrior, the museum’s former executive director.

Winning the web | The annual Native Treasures auction went virtual for the second year in a row over Memorial Day weekend 2021, providing five days of exclusive art offerings by Native artists via an online market hosted by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s Museum Shops. One hundred percent of sales went directly to the artists, bolstering a population hit hard by the financial fallout of COVID-19.

Renewal and renovation | Here, Now and Always, the museum’s permanent exhibition emphasizing Native American knowledge and worldviews, continued its renovation to improve the flow and use of the Amy Rose Bloch Wing. The changes update the content and renew the look of the original exhibition.
Education begins at home | The Tribal Libraries Summer Reading Program beamed into New Mexico’s pueblos with a Zoom series focused on Native writers. At San Felipe Pueblo, four separate activity kits aimed at cultural preservation were distributed to children and their families.
“Being from a family that is represented in museums is like being connected to the whole world. Visitors can see pieces from my greatgrandmother, my cousin, and it’s something that will live on. I can be part of that connection as well.” —Felipita Ortiz, Manager, Colleen Cloney Duncan Museum Shop, Spring 2021

FY2020-2021 CONNECTING AND REFLECTING
Folk art to go and online | Some 3,736 free art activity kits were distributed by the museum’s education department to youth statewide, including at tribal libraries, in FY2021. The kits included art materials for making cornhusk dolls, Japanese Koinobori Carp kites inspired by the exhibition Yokai: Ghosts and Demons of Japan and miniature recycled works reflecting each student’s unique community. Museum educators also offered virtual classroom visits on various folk art topics to pre-K through 8th-grade students around the state.
A new network | Alaka Wali, curator of anthropology at Chicago’s Field Museum, took the helm of a new advisory committee focused on cultural representations in the museum. With the help of visitor and staff feedback, the committee will create a new interpretive plan for the Girard Wing permanent exhibition Multiple Visions: A Common Bond. Possible outcomes include interactive components and new gallery and audio guides.

Folk art speaks many languages | Dual language outreach efforts were broadened by museum workshops through schools, libraries and other nonprofits. These popular programs connected bilingual communities to the museum, which houses art from many immigrant homelands. More than 120 families regularly attended summer outreach programs and onsite museum events.

FY2020-2021 HISTORY IN THE MAKING
Portal to the past | It got easier than ever to glimpse the value of New Mexico history through the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives. Thirty thousand images became searchable in FY2021 via the University of New Mexico’s digital collections. That’s a good third of the estimated million photographic prints, glass plate negatives, photo postcards and other media in the archives. The New Mexico History Museum also significantly amped up its social media presence with the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives Facebook page, which posts historic photos daily.

Rendering of the future Vladem Contemporary by DNCA Architects and StudioGP.
Groundbreaking, in more ways than one | In spring 2021, Bradbury Stamm Construction broke ground at the Vladem Contemporary site in Santa Fe’s Railyard Arts District. Work continued through the fiscal year, readying the building for its truly groundbreaking opening as a hub of contemporary art in summer 2022. There’s still time to receive permanent recognition at the Vladem Contemporary. For $250, your name will be inscribed on a brick placed in the museum’s courtyard. Permanent recognition in the museum lobby is $1,000. To reserve your recognition opportunity by December 31, 2021, contact Kristin Graham at 505.216.1199 or kristin@museumfoundation.org.

Online all the time | A slew of curator-inspired virtual initiatives and exhibitions had successful fiscal year runs. #NMTwinning, a social media-based art competition, awarded prizes for reinterpretations of artworks from the collections. Digital exhibitions What’s Inside and The Solitary Figure focused on up-to-the-minute art produced during quarantine. “We want to stay on people’s radars however we can,” says Merry Scully, the museum’s curator of contemporary art.

FY2020-2021 MOVING THE PAST FORWARD
30 years in the making | Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner Historic Site opened its newly renovated permanent exhibition Bosque Redondo: A Place of Suffering, A Place of Survival. A public opening ceremony will be held on May 28, 2022. The site’s journey to a more truthful telling of the 400-mile Long Walk is the result of three decades of collaboration between tribal leaders, Historic Sites staff, Friends of Bosque Redondo, Museum of New Mexico Foundation members and trustees, and the New Mexico State Legislature.
Beaming into the classroom | The Virtual Classroom program, which includes lesson plans, pre-recorded video lessons and activities designed for K-12 students, was a major pandemic project for the historic sites. The project’s popularity proved it is worth continuing. Ongoing activities include daily updates to the sites’ YouTube pages featuring lessons on native plants, visits with animals, glimpses into the collections, and lectures from historians and experts across the state.

Beaming into the classroom | The Virtual Classroom program, which includes lesson plans, pre-recorded video lessons and activities designed for K-12 students, was a major pandemic project for all eight of the historic sites. The project’s popularity proved it is worth continuing. Ongoing activities include daily updates to the sites’ YouTube pages featuring lessons on native plants, visits with animals, glimpses into the collections, and lectures from historians and experts across the state.
Shoring up the past | Closures at the New Mexico Historic Sites due to COVID-19 was an opportunity to tackle long overdue work. Lincoln Historic Site completed a $345,000 preservation project centering on six historic structures, including the Lincoln County Courthouse and John Tunstall Store. “Preserving heritage treasures like those in Lincoln to enrich the lives of New Mexicans through culture is at the heart of what we do,” says New Mexico Historic Sites Executive Director Patrick Moore. “We could not be more excited about the valuable work being conducted.”

FY2020-2021 A POTPOURRI OF ACTIVITIES
Not just another pretty plant | The Walk Through Time Garden was launched at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology in FY2021, providing an educational purpose for landscaping. Unlike most botanical gardens, it shows that beauty lies in the functions and historic roles of plants more than in color and form. Specialty perennials like yucca (basketry and fiber), sumac (beverages, dyes and basketry materials) and Apache plume (arrow shafts) grow alongside more familiar edibles such as currants, chokecherries and wild plums. This ambitious project will be a work in progress for years to come.

Kids dig it | Creating your own “Fantastic Beasts” was just one of the at-home learning activities designed in FY2021 by Office of Archaeological Studies educators. Students learn functional adaptations of animal body parts and then let their imaginations run wild.
Colorful research | In the spring of 2021, Office of Archaeological Studies staff and volunteers visited a Navajo pictograph panel where one image included a uniquely blue pigment. Bob Florek undertook non-destructive analysis of the background and paint using portable X-ray fluorescence. No trace of copper, a common source of blue and blue-green colors in mineral pigments, was detected. Project archaeologist Chuck Hannaford remarked, “As usual, science provided an answer leading to a host of unexpected questions.” Above left: Portable X-ray fluorescence instruments, which allow compositional studies in the field without risking damage to images or objects, are ideal for studying fragile pictographs.

She’s describing what happened last spring, when all four Museum Shops reopened to the public after pandemic closures. Customers poured in, eager for a shopping fix. “It was like the floodgates opened,” she continues. “We had to hit the ground running in order to cope with the amount of visitors we had in New Mexico, plus all of our members who came out to support us.” Pent-up demand for in-person museum shopping made for a robust final quarter of FY2021, with sales taking off in April. Book sales, which soared during lockdown as people sought at-home diversions, remained steady after the shops reopened. Other activity-based items were strong sellers, too.
hotels. Card games, puzzles, books and stuff for kids were in huge demand.” Ultimately, an “if it ain’t broke” philosophy proved to be a winning sales strategy for expanding a product selection that might appeal to pandemic shut-ins. “I went back to the well and said, ‘If we’ve sold this in the past, let’s bring it back in,’” Birmingham says. Online purchases have also been riding high. The online sales boost began in Fall 2020 and lasted into the new year, resulting in an estimated 30 to 40 percent increase over 2019. Based on that trend, Birmingham is anticipating strong online holiday sales. Birmingham says the successful reopening of the Museum Shops is thanks to a loyal cadre of volunteers. Twelve of them were back in action by mid-April to keep customers safe and sales running smoothly. “I was more than happy to have them come in, vaccinated and masked,” she says. “They were thrilled to be back and doing something. They hadn’t been shopping either, so it was a win-win for them to help customers and shop a little themselves.” Despite a difficult supply-and-demand situation, increased shipping prices and other pandemic-related challenges, the Museum Shops proved their staying power. Ultimately, Birmingham attributes this success to a loyal customer base. “There’s a gracious consciousness of customers asking ‘How do I help?’ or ‘What can I buy to support an artist?’ This is what continues to get us through,” Birmingham says.

LICENSING
Celebrated Heritage New Flooring Collection Welcomes Visitors to Revamped Exhibition The Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s licensing program has the entrance to the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture’s redesigned Here, Now and Always exhibition covered—literally. Thanks to a creative licensing partnership with Durkan, a hospitality division of Mohawk Industries Inc. that focuses on flooring solutions for public buildings, the revamped permanent exhibition will feature 1,000 square yards of donated carpet tiles inspired by Ancestral Puebloan pottery in the museum’s collections. The carpeting is part of Celebrated Heritage, a new collection featuring five individual flooring designs inspired by pottery and basketry from the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture and Mexican textiles from the Museum of International Folk Art. The project is the licensing program’s third successful collaboration with Durkan. For this collection, says Pamela Kelly, the Foundation’s vice president of licensing and brand management, Durkan designers focused on museum materials rich in texture and evidencing signs of use or repair. Kelly likens the collaborative process of adapting source material from the collections to “composing a symphony or writing a story.” The goal is “to transform the essential elements of the cultural material into a modern form.” Museum of Indian Arts and Culture Interim Executive Director Matthew Martinez expresses gratitude to Mohawk for the carpet donation. “The selected carpet tiles are but one piece of a larger museum story,” he says. “The interpretation of objects is continuous and embedded throughout Here, Now and Always. It is our goal to facilitate such conversations within exhibits and educational programming.” For more information about licensing, contact Pamela Kelly at Pamela@museumfoundation.org or 505.216.0614.

Thanks to all Foundation institutional funding partners for their generous support of these and all the other projects they help make possible throughout the Museum of New Mexico system.
