MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

Dear Friends,

As the pandemic eased in 2022, the New Bedford Whaling Museum reemerged as the most significant leader of art, history, science and culture in the Greater New Bedford community.

Building on Common Ground, our multi-year effort to collect and preserve first-person accounts from the people of Greater New Bedford, the Whaling Museum brought community voices to life with a dynamic exhibition. This one is pretty special to me. Our community is vibrant, diverse, and engaged in both the past and the future That the Museum launched a collaborative program to capture our voices and co-curate this effort in partnership with our community marks an intentional, critical and important shift in our work.

In fact, 2022 was a year that displayed our deliberate steps in fulfilling the strategic priorities to Welcome, Engage, Steward, and Thrive. Increasing access, curating inclusive narratives, and collecting with the purpose of expanding representation, these are all hallmarks of our and your museum— invigorated by our strength emerging from years of uncertainty and driven with renewed purpose to develop a Museum for All. Highlights to our commitment can be seen on these pages and on the pages of Vistas: A Journal of Art, History, Science and Culture, a new biannual publication launched in 2022.

As Board Chair, I am proud that more than 26% of our in-person visitors last year were New Bedford residents and even more pleased that this is an 8% increase over 2021. We also doubled down on our efforts to raise funds to support free and reduced admissions. I celebrate and thank those funders that allowed us to grow that investment and enabled increased participation in the Museum and our programming which resulted in 29% of our museumgoers benefiting from our more than 20 free and reduced-admission programs.

Thank you for being part of this remarkable Chair, Board of Trustees

Dear Friends, What a year!

In 2022, the New Bedford Whaling Museum stood tall and opened our doors wide. Welcoming more than 70,000 in our galleries, this mighty museum offered 51 public programs, conserved 95 artifacts, and served more than 800 scholars in our reading room and around the world. Amazingly, our visitation growth marks a 36% increase over 2021. We also reached thousands of students beyond our walls through our science programs—dissecting squids in classrooms all year long and bringing our 41-foot inflatable whale on the road to ignite learning for kids of all ages.

A priority for the year included tackling a soul-searching examination of our physical spaces and thoughtfully mapping out campus opportunities for decades to come The 11-month process sought broad input with more than 300 participating in our community survey and public forum. Central to our planning is the Museum’s newest property at 11 William Street. Directly adjacent to our front entrance, this property was purchased in 2021 and with deep appreciation to 19 donors, this acquisition was fully funded and debt-free.

Welcoming more than 70,000 in our galleries, this mighty museum offered 51 public programs, conserved 95 artifacts, and served more than 800 scholars in our reading room and around the world.

The opening of our major exhibition Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth Century American Landscapes offered an unparalleled examination of works by artists of this genre. Diving below the surface, Re/Framing also explored the presence and absence of Women artists, Artists of Color and Native people. Given that many scenes depicted landscape now lost, this show also gave deep consideration to environmental impact.

The year was, perhaps, most profoundly transformed by the gift from Nancy and Jack Braitmayer. Inspired to help NBWM reach new audiences and purposefully embrace this digital moment, Nancy and Jack’s $1M gift propelled us forward. Our fully renovated theater with a state-of-the-art projector, sound system and daily film offerings in 3D is now open! Debuting soon will be a multiplayer kiosk that lets you experience life on a whaleship. Unbelievably, their support also has allowed the Museum to commence a full upgrade of our collections management system. While this herculean effort will take several years to complete, the outcome will be a sophisticated cataloging system with robust search capabilities and virtual open access.

Our extraordinary staff, trustees and volunteers helped us create engaging moments for many and I am grateful for their dedication. It is, however, all because of our members that we are able to do what we do. Your continued enthusiasm and support make everything we do possible. Thank you!

Introducing...

Our new multiplayer interactive brings to life a 19th-century whaling journey by grounding the voyage around the world within the Bourne Building, its exhibits, and collections. Come play and learn!

Both the upgrades to the Museum’s Cook Memorial Theater that are enabling us to host “Big Blue Pictures” (above) and our new multiplayer game kiosk (pictured left) were made possible by a transformational gift from Nancy and Jack Braitmayer. These digital experiences allow visitors to explore and learn using 21stcentury immersive technology that invites museumgoers of all ages to play and learn about art, history, science and culture.

“Big Blue Pictures” is a new immersive 3D theater experience at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, home to the first and only 3D theater on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts. Currently, the NBWM offers twice-daily showings of two 3D short films, Oceans: Our Blue Planet and Antarctica: On the Edge. Both of these stunning films explore the wildlife of the sea and the environmental threats to their natural habitats.

2022 Exhibitions

Loomings: Christopher Volpe

December 11, 2021 – May 8, 2022

Braitmayer Galleries

Named after the first chapter of Moby-Dick, Loomings suggests disquieting parallels between our own oil-driven industrial age and Herman Melville’s apocalyptic vision of the American quest, as illustrated through the doomed commercial whaling voyage of the Pequod

Volpe renders his enigmatic marine imagery in tar, oil paint, and gold leaf. The tar, a fossil-fuel byproduct, functions as a monochromatic signifier of industrialism, particularly reckless over-extraction. Recalling that whale oil was the precursor to petroleum, the titles’ quotations from Moby-Dick, and the tar’s metallic blacks and tintype sepia tones invoke Melville’s novel as a cautionary, foundational myth for our own age of accelerating climate disruption and social unrest. The discovery of petroleum in 1856 marked the beginning of the end for the American whaling industry. But after 170 additional years of oil-driven industrialization, humanity continues to exploit nature without adequately understanding our place within it or even our own history.

Unvarnished: Conservation of Charles Sidney

Raleigh’s Panorama of a Whaling Voyage

December 12, 2021 – March 6, 2022

Wattles Family Gallery

Between 1878 and 1880, the prolific British-born painter Charles Sidney Raleigh undertook a daring artistic venture: a monumental panorama of twenty-two whaling scenes from the four-year voyage of the Niger, which departed from New Bedford in 1870 for the Pacific. The New Bedford Whaling Museum owns 18 of the Raleigh panorama panels, each measuring over six feet tall and 12 feet wide. Unvarnished, which featured eight of the paintings, aimed to underscore the challenges museums face in dealing with large collections and unusual objects. A second goal was to raise sufficient funds for the conservation of these paintings and preserve them for generations to come.

Turn the Tide: Courtney Mattison

November 15, 2021 – May 1, 2022

Herman Melville Room

Center Street Gallery

Donors: Anonymous, Christina M. Bascom, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cutter Hardy, Island Foundation, KAM Appliances, Frances Levin, Tina & Paul Schmid, Frima G.* & Gilbert L. Shapiro

Los Angeles-based ceramicist and sculptor Courtney Mattison self-identifies as an artist and “ocean advocate.” Her delicate and monumental installations offer both visual interest and meaningful commentary on the health of our imperiled oceans. The delicacy of her porcelain forms, which appear to grow outward into organic spiraling shapes, and 6

then die before our eyes, bleaching into bone, poignantly illustrate the widespread and devastating effects of ocean warming and pollution on marine species, including corals and other invertebrates.

The Azorean Spirit: The Art of Domingos Rebêlo

March 31 – September 22, 2022

Wattles Family Gallery

Donors: Anonymous, The Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, The Department of Portuguese and Brazilian Studies at Brown University, Luso-American Development Foundation, Massachusetts State Senator Michael J. Rodrigues, The Senator Rodrigues Arts and Culture Fund of the SouthCoast Community Foundation, SATA-Azores Airlines, TAP Air Portugal.

In a career spanning more than 60 years, Domingos Rebêlo (1891-1975) created thousands of works of art that reflected his Portuguese identity and culture, and honored his Azorean roots. While he dreamed of exhibiting his works for Portuguese emigrant audiences abroad in the United States, he never had a show for American audiences during his lifetime. The Azorean Spirit: The Art of Domingos Rebêlo was the first international exhibition of this artist’s work presented in the United States Organized by his grandson and researcher, Jorge Rebêlo, the exhibition brought together more than fifty rarely seen paintings and works on paper from collections in continental Portugal and the Azores.

IGNITE: A Youth Showcase of Art Inspired by Historic Women of the Southcoast

April 22 – May 31, 2022

Upper Level Galleries

Young artists in grades 4 through 12 were invited to submit original artwork inspired by the Lighting the Way project. The resulting exhibition featured more than twenty paintings and drawing by youth from ten different schools, afterschool programs and homeschools. Their artworks reflect the diversity of both the historic women and the young people of today from our region. In the artworks, one can see the echoes of leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, and activists who shaped the SouthCoast as we know it today. In each, one sees the reflection of students’ passions and interests, as well as their artistry, attention to detail, craftsmanship, and individuality.

Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad

May 20 – November 20, 2022

Center Street Gallery

Donors: BayCoast Bank Foundation, Law Firm of Lang, Xifaras, and Bullard, New Bedford Historical Society, New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, Office of the Provost, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, Southcoast Health Foundation

Self-emancipation along the Underground Railroad was not entirely by overland routes. Largely overlooked by historians is the great number of enslaved persons who made their way to freedom using coastal water routes along

the Atlantic seaboard. Enslaved AfricanAmericans often escaped by sea aboard merchant and passenger ships, or using smaller watercraft. Sailing to Freedom highlighted the little-known stories and described the less-understood maritime side of the Underground Railroad, including the impact of African-Americans’ paid and unpaid waterfront labor.

William Shattuck: Reveries

June 3, 2022 – January 1, 2023

Braitmayer Galleries

William Shattuck lives in Southeastern Massachusetts and his paintings reflect a fascination with the tidal marshes, estuaries and woodlands along that coastline. Having moved there in 1980 from New York, he has appreciated the changing patterns of light and weather throughout different seasons and times of day. This exhibition featured Shattuck’s evocative, moody landscape paintings. Shattuck employs careful brushwork and layered glazes to capture early morning light, haze on the marsh, or eerie glow of twilight on darkened tree trunks. His works evoke the attention to detail of the French Barbizon school, the impressionist studies of light and time by Claude Monet, and the luminescence of Maxfield Parrish.

Henry Horenstein: Close Relations

June 9 – December 18, 2022

Upper Level Galleries

Donors: Frances Levin, The William M. Wood Foundation

Organized as a component of the New Bedford Whaling Museum exhibition and oral history initiative, Common Ground: Community Stories, “Close Relations” presented an intimate and photographically compelling look at life in the SouthCoast in the early 1970s.

Re/Framing the View: Nineteenth-Century American Landscapes

October 28, 2022 – May 14, 2023

Wattles Family Gallery

Donors: Anonymous (2), Mary Jean and William Blasdale, Cynthia & Douglas Crocker II, Victoria & David Croll, Sarah Jackson, KAM Appliances, Ann & D. Lloyd Macdonald, Louis Ricciardi & Elizabeth Soares, The William M. Wood Foundation

Program partners: Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, Sippican Lands Trust, Westport Land Conservation Trust

Nineteenth-century American artists are well known for their depictions of nature and the outdoors, for creating a national “school” of painting, and for their documentation and idealization of scenery ranging from the imagined and pastoral to the dramatic and sublime. This stunning exhibition was an exciting and timely invitation to view paintings held in private hands and usually hung behind closed doors – allowing exploration of the many meanings of the American

landscape, both historically to nineteenth-century viewers and today for twenty-first century audiences.

Drawn from six exceptional regional private collections, the New Bedford Whaling Museum collection, and six loaning institutions, Re/Framing the View offered a layered interpretation of the cultural and historical meaning of such paintings. What such artists often failed to capture are the environmental conditions and social concerns, including those of women and Indigenous people, that may underlie picturesque imagery.

Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) and the Arctic Imaginary

December 12, 2022 – May 7, 2023

Center Street Gallery

The New Bedford Whaling Museum holds a deep collection of hundreds of original artworks, photographs, carvings, and material culture depicting or made from polar bears. This exhibition showcased a cross-section of these extraordinary artworks in order to reveal and explore humankind’s fascination and relationship with this vaunted and elusive species.

Moby-Dick in Days of Pestilence

and Chaos

December 22, 2022 – February 26, 2023

Upper Level Galleries

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and working through the 2020 lockdown, Boston-based artist Aileen Callahan (b. 1941) created Moby-Dick in Days of Pestilence and Chaos. This body of work explores themes of contagion and plague, and the known, the unseen, and the feared, as described by author Herman Melville (1819-1891) in the novel Moby-Dick (1851). How much time must pass before infection and chaos take hold —of a crew? —of a society? – and how do such questions apply to today?

A SINGULARLY MARINE & FABULOUS PRODUCE”:

Wattles Gallery

Opening: June 16, 2023 | Closing: December 3, 2023

“This kelp, oar-weed, tangle, devil’s-apron, sole-leather, or ribbon-weed,— as various species are called,—appeared to us a singularly marine and fabulous product, a fit invention for Neptune to adorn his car with, or a freak of Proteus.” Cape Cod, Henry David Thoreau

Drawing together a wide range of media made by men and women between 1800 and today, the exhibition explores how American, European, and British audiences were drawn to the myriad unique and mysterious qualities of this vegetation of the sea.

This exhibition centers around one painting, Seaweed Gatherers, created in Pont-Aven, France by Acushnet, Massachusetts native Clement Nye Swift. The painting depicts the shoreline economy of seaweed collection for iodine production, and was exhibited in the 1878 Paris salon, before being shipped to the United States when Swift returned home in 1881. Swift’s painting serves as a vehicle for exploring the wide-ranging social meanings of intertidal zones and seaweed, and its uses as depicted in French, British, and American art and culture.

The exhibition programming and 230-page catalog make connections between the cultural histories of seaweed, and the urgent environmental issues of today related to climate change, global food insecurity, and sustainability. How is seaweed a material of interest in the past, and providing critical answers to our future?

Textile depicting underwater flora, seaweed, and coral. The textile features a pink, teal and brown roller print on a tan ground. Newport Historical Society, 27.4.5

MESSAGE FROM THE TREASURER

As Treasurer of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, it is my pleasure to provide an overview of the Museum’s 2022 financial performance.

Our goal for 2022 was to outperform the prepandemic year of 2019 and we did, with an 8% increase in total revenue and support compared to that benchmark. On a year over year basis, once again our loyal and generous community of supporters came together with the result that contributed income for operations was up 20% from 2021. This support from donors/members was vitally important as this was the first year in three without the benefit of government relief funding.

Given our strong balance sheet and recognizing and anticipating the continuing economic uncertainties, the Museum made an important in-year decision to run a planned deficit (our first in ten years) in order to make a series of well-considered investments. These investments supported staff capacity building and marketing outreach in order to continue advancing the goals outlined in our five-year strategic plan. As a result, we improved our product and attracted 70,000 to the Museum’s offerings including a rich slate of exhibitions, programs, events, and now 3-D movies in our theater.

On the capital side and in a difficult year for markets generally, the Museum ran a successful campaign that added $654 thousand to its modest but vital endowment and raised more than $2.5 million toward the planned expansion at the adjacent 11 William Street property acquired in 2021.

After ten plus years with the same auditor it was time we put our account out for competitive bid. We did and ended up choosing the same auditor. Last month, our annual financial audit was completed and a clean opinion issued, assuring us that the Museum continues to demonstrate its commitment to fundraising efficiency and strong fiscal management. This commitment has earned the Museum the highest Candid “Platinum Seal” and the top four-star rating from Charity Navigator.

As I write, 2023 is off to a strong start. As usual, we aim to exceed our goals and your expectations in the year ahead. I encourage you to visit the Museum often to enjoy all that you love, and be surprised by all that is new. Your generosity and trust keep the New Bedford Whaling Museum vibrant and strong –thank you!
