It has been an incredible year at the Museum of Sonoma County. We have achieved great successes in 2019 and are profoundly grateful for the support of all of you in our community. This summer, our exhibitions explored the long and complicated history of cannabis in the North Bay (Grass Roots: Cannabis from Prohibition to Prescription) and invited our visitors to engage and play with interactive art (Kinetics: Art in Motion). In the fall, we addressed issues of migration and identity through the art of Maria de Los Angeles (Tierra de Rosas and A Way of Life), and celebrated the cycle of life (Día de los Muertos). As we close the year, we are pleased to highlight local emerging artists in Discovered: Emerging Artists of Sonoma County and stunning craftsmanship in the 31st Annual Artistry in Wood exhibition. We are committed to presenting diverse and relevant exhibitions; with record-breaking attendance in 2018 and 2019, you have shown us that we’re on the right track. But we’re not done yet! 2020 is a milestone year, as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Museum, the 110th anniversary of the historic post office building, and the 5th anniversary of the contemporary art space. We will also be commemorating the centennial of Women’s Suffrage with two special exhibitions, From Suffrage to #MeToo in the winter/spring and Waves: Feminism, Art, and Power in the summer/fall. Our exhibitions will explore the evolvement of landscape art (Landscape: Awe to Activism), as well as the history of Sonoma County through beloved historian, Gaye LeBaron, and her oral history project (see page 6). To celebrate such a momentous year, we invite you to join us as we present special programs and events throughout 2020. While we are proud of our accomplishments and excited for the future, we are devastated to lose one of our colleagues and friends, Cynthia Leung (see page 11). We will always remember her kind and generous spirit; she will be greatly missed. As we enter the holiday season, we would like to thank you for being a part of our Museum family. We are grateful to have been supported and embraced by our community for 35 years and look forward to continuing to serve Sonoma County and its visitors in the new year. Best regards,
JEFF NATHANSON RICHARD TEMPERO

THREE CHEERS FOR 35 YEARS!
2020 is a year full of celebrations for the Museum of Sonoma County! The year marks the 35th anniversary of the Museum, the 110th anniversary of the building, and the 5th anniversary of the contemporary art gallery.

At the time the Historic Santa Rosa Post office was built, our city was in a similar state as it is now — a state of rebuilding—following the devastating 1906 earthquake. On March 9, 1910, the city’s first full-time Postmaster, H.L.Tripp, and his staff moved into the new building at Fifth and A Streets.Tripp, a former haberdasher, and about a dozen postal carriers served the city, which at the time had a population of less than 10,000. The newly constructed building was completed in the Roman Renaissance Revival style, with a Spanish tile roof that connected it to its California setting.
Over a half of a century later, the historic building would survive the 1969 earthquake, only to be slated for demolition to make way for the Santa Rosa Plaza mall. Historian Gaye LeBaron described the scene, “Here and there were the concrete copings marking the foundations of hotels and business blocks, gas stations, fraternal lodges and two-story Victorian homes — all of them gone, cleared away after the damaging 1969 earthquake to make way for a mall. One building stood alone on the northern edge of this wasteland, a majestic building with four stone columns...”

In 1979, a team led by Dan Peterson took on the impossible task of rolling the 1,700-ton building two blocks, from Fifth to Seventh Street, successfully completing the project in 75 days. The team adopted the slogan, “They said it couldn’t be done!” and after a remodel and expansion, the Sonoma County Museum officially opened its doors on January 12, 1985. 2015
For 30 years, the changing art and history exhibitions shared the limited gallery
space inside the historic post office. Following a multi-million dollar capital campaign, the Museum renovated the a 4,500-square-foot gallery space on the neighboring corner of Seventh and B Streets- previously a carpet warehouse, acquired in 2001. The contemporary art space opened its doors on April 11, 2015 with Picturing the Iconic: Andy Warhol to Kara Walker. In the past five years, the space has featured works by locally and internationally renowned artists including John Baldessari, Annie Leibovitz, Franklin Williams, Faith Ringgold,
Maria de Los Angeles, and many more. The Museum of Sonoma County would not exist without the tireless efforts of those who have supported the organization over the decades. It is with the deepest appreciation and gratitude that we thank all who have contributed to the Museum’s growth and success. We look forward to celebrating these incredible anniversaries and to continuing to serve our community as we enter our next chapter.
RE:IMAGINING THE FUTURE
In 2018, we launched our Re:Imagine! campaign, the first of two phases in our 5-year strategic plan, aimed towards elevating the excellence of our exhibitions and programs, improving the visitor experience, and building our organizational capacity.With your support, we have raised over $350,000 of our $500,000 goal! Help us reach our goal by making a donation today. Thank you! Former Board Chair, Henry Beaumont, cutting the ribbon at the April 11 opening of the Art Museum of Sonoma County

2020 EXHIBITIONS From Suffrage to #MeToo: Groundbreaking Women in Sonoma County 2020 is the centennial anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, giving women the constitutional right to vote- a major milestone. With a focus on the stories of groundbreaking women in Sonoma County and the North Bay for over a century, From Suffrage to #MeToo explores the changing expectations, challenges, and obstacles to inclusion that women have faced and the remarkable people who have broken through the barriers. The fight for women’s suffrage required strategy and coordinated action. While different in goal and origin, today’s #MeToo movement also represents pivotal change and the power of the collective voice to challenge the status quo. Trace the thread of the fight for women’s rights From Suffrage to #MeToo in this empowering exhibition.
JANUARY 24-JUNE 14, 2020
Landscape: Awe to Activism Traditionally, landscape art was created by artists who were awe-inspired by the beauty of the natural world. Over time, as our relationship to the land and the environment evolved, so too did artmaking and the artist’s viewpoint. Landscape: Awe to Activism examines the evolution of landscape art from the mid-19th century until now, from 19th century realism to contemporary works by environmental activists. The exhibition will feature works from the Museum’s permanent collection, including 19th century California landscapes and works by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, as well as modern and contemporary works by Northern California artists and beyond. I M A G E : Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Running Fence, Sonoma and Marin Counties, 19721976. Photo by Jeanne-Claude. Learn more about Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Tom Golden Collection on page 12.

Gaye LeBaron’s Oral History Project Gaye LeBaron is Sonoma County’s most noteworthy journalist and historian. As the preeminent storyteller and historical writer in the region, LeBaron is a groundbreaking woman who entered the male dominated field of journalism in the 1950s. The Museum will celebrate her career and impact with a semi-permanent installation that combines storytelling and video oral history interviews with the Museum’s own collection of objects related to Sonoma County history. The installation will both honor LeBaron as an individual and use her immense catalog of work and iconic stature to create a framework for the broader telling of Sonoma County history. 2020

31ST ANNUAL ARTISTRY IN WOOD
NOVEMBER 23, 2019-JANUARY 12, 2020
Artistry in Wood is an annual exhibition presented by the Sonoma County Woodworkers Association (SCWA) in partnership with the Museum of Sonoma County. Staged every year since 1982, it is recognized as one of the premier fine woodworking shows in North America and has become a favorite among museum visitors. Pieces accepted for exhibition must pass stringent criteria established by a board of jurors. Once pieces are accepted, a non-member panel of expert judges present prizes to the finest pieces in a wide range of categories including furniture, turnery, and artwork. Awards of Excellence and Best of Show are coveted prizes that reflect the highest quality of artistry and craftsmanship. Many of those award-winning pieces are then featured in prestigious publications such as Fine Woodworking.

RECENT EXHIBITIONS Tierra de Rosas: New Works by Maria de Los Angeles Presented Concurrently with A Way of Life In August, the Museum of Sonoma County welcomed Maria de Los Angeles for a homecoming exhibition, Tierra de Rosas: New Works by Maria de Los Angeles. Her work addresses issues of migration, displacement, and identity, themes inspired by her own experiences, having crossed the border with her family as a young girl in 1999. The multidisciplinary artist, grew up in Santa Rosa and graduated from Pratt Institute
and Yale. Now based in New York, she has gained national recognition as an emerging artist. De Los Angeles shared the spotlight with artists who had influenced and inspired her, with a concurrent group exhibition titled A Way of Life. At the opening reception on August 24, our community celebrated the exhibitions with the highest event attendance since 2010!

EDUC ATION
INSPIRING YOUTH WITH ART Our Youth+Art and Art4Kids students were busy this summer! This year, we were able to offer two summer projects through our Youth+Art program: the Roseland in Motion mural project and alebrijes for the Día de los Muertos exhibition. We are extremely proud of our students and grateful for our volunteers and teacher-artists, Martín Zúñiga and Peter Perez. Special thanks to Creative Sonoma, Community Action Partnership, and Roseland Elementary School for making this program possible.
During the first week of school, our Art4Kids students at Luther Burbank Elementary School were visited by Maria de Los Angeles to receive hands-on art instruction to create works for her exhibition, Tierra de Rosas. The day before the public opening, the students received a private tour and were able to see their works exhibited in the show. Art4Kids is sponsored by the Community Foundation Sonoma County and the Sonoma County Vintners Foundation.

INTERVIEW WITH ROSS HAUSE, TEACHER AT LUTHER BURBANK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
What has the Art4Kids experience been like?
The experiences that we’ve had have been really positive. I know that the kids have really liked creating something together and there’s this satisfaction that they’ve come to this outcome that they’re proud of and they did it as a group. That’s important because we really emphasize this idea that we’re a team, that we do things as a group, and that we value all of the members in that group. What was this most recent experience like, working with Maria de Los Angeles?
They got to express this idea of, “Who are you?” “What do you value?”We saw it in Maria de Los Angeles’s work. It’s neat to have an outside partner that comes into our
10
community that is reinforcing the idea that who we are matters and what we have to say matters. Why is it important for the Museum to have a program like Art4Kids?
With so much that’s on our plate academically, things like art can find themselves on the cutting room floor.To have this [program] reminds us, as teachers, the value of art, and why we need to make sure that those kids get that experience. I’ve seen it connect into other parts of their day, where they’re a better kid, a better student, and it also makes school a fun place to go.We’re really appreciative of the Museum offering us this opportunity.

IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM CYNTHIA LEUNG 1959-2019
We are deeply saddened by sudden the loss of our colleague and friend, Cynthia Leung. Cynthia joined the Museum staff in 2013 as the Visitor Services and Volunteer Coordinator. Over the years, she took on additional responsibilities as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Director of Public Programs and Tours. During her time at the Museum, she grew the volunteer base, launched the Art4Kids and Youth+Art programs, presented countless fascinating public programs, coordinated the Día de los Muertos exhibition, and much more. For many, their introduction to the Museum was through Cynthia.Whether she was recruiting and training volunteers,
partnering with local community groups, or appearing in an interview, she was often the face of the organization. With her kind spirit and caring nature, she frequently went above and beyond her professional duties, assisting interns and volunteers as they planned for college, baking delicious treats for her colleagues, and sharing fresh fruits and vegetables from her exceptional garden. Above all, she adored her family.We offer our deepest condolences to Matthew, Emma, and Malia. Cynthia’s professional achievements, boundless generosity, and endearing friendship will not be forgotten. She was loved by the community and will be greatly missed.
Gifts made in Cynthia’s memory will support the education and museum programs she devoted herself to. Memorial gifts can be made to: Museum of Sonoma County, 425 7th Street, Santa Rosa, CA 95401

COLLECTION SPOTLIGHT
CHRISTO AND JEANNECLAUDE: THE TOM GOLDEN COLLECTION
I
n 2001 Tom Golden, the unofficial mayor of the small Northern California town of Freestone in Sonoma County, donated his collection of works by renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude to the Museum of Sonoma County. Golden’s personal and professional relationship with the artists began when he met them during the 1974 public hearings for the approval of their momentous project Running Fence, Sonoma and Marin Counties, 1972-1976. Golden went on to manage or assist with a number of the artists’ large scale projects including The Umbrellas, Joint Project for Japan and the USA, 1984-1991 and the unrealized Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River. Actively engaged with the art he so dearly loved for nearly 30 years, Golden passed away at his home in late 2002. Tom Golden’s remarkable collection reflects his friendship with and admiration of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Over 100 original drawings, sculptures, collages and photographs lovingly trace their impressive careers. Original works from the sculpture Double Show Window, 1972, to a collage of

Over the River project, help the collection capture the versatility, longevity and international scope of Christo and JeanneClaude. Drawings and collages of the large-scale public works—sold to fund the actual installations—are an integral component of this collection; those projects include Running Fence, Surrounded Islands,The Pont Neuf Wrapped, and Wrapped Reichstag among many others. There are also a multitude of smaller projects represented in original drawings, from the whimsical Package on Radio Flyer Wagon to the haunting Wrapped Woman. Finally, unique to this collection are

some small, poignant pieces made especially for Golden, including a wrapped bouquet of flowers. Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s work defies easy categorization, incorporating elements of earth, installation, and conceptual art. While the temporary nature of their large works bespeaks an anti-materialist bent, they are nonetheless determined to realize their monumental concepts through political and physical action, if for only a short time. The Museum’s collection documents the period between 1962 and 2000, powerfully illustrating the work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude over nearly four decades of collaboration. Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s past works remain relevant and widely recognized. The Smithsonian recently ranked the Running Fence among the most important artworks of the twentieth century. The Museum is grateful to Jim Kidder for donating the Tom Golden Collection to the permanent collection.
s a traveling exhibition, the Museum is able to share the Tom Golden Collection with other institutions around the country. In the last 10 years, this collection has traveled to:
•R obert Hull Fleming Museum, Burlington, • St. Mary’s College Museum of Art, VT Moraga, CA •P rice Tower Arts Center, Bartlesville, OK
• Loveland Museum/Gallery, Loveland, CO
• Hyde Collection, Glens Falls, NY •A lbuquerque Museum of Art and History, • Tyler Museum of Art, Tyler, TX Albuquerque, NM • Biggs Museum of Art, Dover DE • Kimball Art Center, Park City, UT After a decade of travel, the collection and its exhibition components are ready for regular maintenance and updating. With your support, we can upgrade the displays, construct new shipping crates, and prepare this incredible collection for its next venture.
