• Completed year one of our strategic plan. We focused on the three overarching strategies—which honor the MAH’s exemplary past and advance its vision and mission—and accomplished specific tactical work within them in the areas of programs, people, and practices. Ultimately, we reached or exceeded a number of our first-year targets.
• Introduced new content, programming, and collection highlights. We launched a new residency program in which artists and historians share our space and resources to produce newly commissioned work. We debuted our new biennial festival series with Frequency—a 4-day, mostly free festival of light, sound, and digital culture in and around the museum—and presented a full schedule of exhibitions, performances, and other special events throughout the year.
• Fueled our local creative economy. Through commissions, residencies, and other opportunities, we invested over $100,000—more than a third of our annual programming budget—in Santa Cruz County-based artists, writers, curators, designers, fabricators, production personnel, and other members of the creative sector. We This year, we worked to refresh and enliven the MAH indoors and out.
We began 2021-22 with ambitious plans— to increase engagement and retention through innovative, time-tested programs that attract audiences, engage community, and spark connections; to deepen relationships and collaboration through mutually beneficial partnerships that leverage resources and expertise to benefit the public; and to build resilience and capacity through streamlined practices in all areas of management and operations. These three strategies are at the core of our new strategic plan, based on which we undertook a number of major initiatives, dedicating ourselves with great sincerity and perseverance. We are proud to report the year’s successes. In 2021-22 the MAH:

• Scaled up technological capacity. We launched a multi-year effort to digitize the museum’s archives. We hope to be a model for how to preserve and increase access to research materials, particularly collections that feature LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
• Aligned with key stakeholders and constituencies. Recognizing the need to focus attention on some important relationships in order to achieve our long-term goals, we developed and deepened our work with community nonprofits and businesses, and expanded our collaborations with UC Santa Cruz, CSU Monterey Bay, and other academic institutions.
• Inspired greater community support. We had considerable growth in individual giving this year, with gains in revenue, new and returning donors, retention, and the size and number of gifts. Our membership program saw a year-over-year increase, with renewal rates exceeding 70%.
• Secured new funding. We received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Institute of Museum and Library Services, California Humanities, California State Library, and more. We continue to build our grants pipeline by actively pursuing opportunities focused

theAboutMAHTheSantaCruzMuseumofArt&History (MAH) was founded in 1996 to promote a greater understanding of contemporary art and the history of Santa Cruz County.
The MAH is well-known for pioneering the “participatory museum,” in which a broad spectrum of partners and community members develop exhibitions around important community issues. We are proud of our reputation as one of the most creative and forward-thinking community museums in the country. Now under the leadership of executive director Robb Woulfe, we continue that level of engagement in recognition of the value in co-creating projects. At the same time, we are committed to producing and cultivating meaningful, high quality, place-based work that animates and enlivens the MAH as well as public spaces throughout Santa Cruz County. With strong support from our community collaborators and new partnerships yet to be formed, we are confident the MAH will not only uphold its reputation as a cultural and social innovator, but serve as a model for other museums to emulate.
ANNUAL REPORT 2022 08
Today we are a thriving community gathering place that offers a full slate of rotating art and history exhibitions, visual and performing artworks, public festivals, education and outreach programs, and cultural celebrations in collaboration with our many partners. We maintain a permanent collection of regionally significant art and artifacts, a research library, historical archive, and historic sites including Evergreen Cemetery, the Octagon Building, and Davenport Jail. We are also home to Abbott Square, a vibrant public plaza on the museum’s doorstep that offers food, social events, and year-round creative happenings.

Exhibition Spaces
The MAH has two permanent exhibition spaces: the History Gallery and the rooftop Blanchard Sculpture Garden. Three other galleries—Art Forum, Lezin, and Solari—offer rotating exhibitions that present artworks and artifacts reflective of the dynamism and diversity of Santa Cruz County. In addition, the MAH presents a series of public programs and educational activities.
Collections
The MAH maintains a research library, archives, and a curatorial collection. The art collection has more than 300 sculptures, paintings, and prints by California and greater Monterey Bay area artists. The history collection has more than 7,000 items, most of which are from the early 1900s with historical significance to Santa Cruz County.
Facility & Sites
The MAH itself is located in a privately owned building on Santa Cruz County property (the County leases the property to the MAH). Within it, there is approximately 8,000 square feet of exhibition/gallery space and 2,750 square feet for collections/archives. The MAH also operates three historic structures/sites: Evergreen Cemetery, Davenport Jail, and the Octagon Building.

SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF ART & HISTORY 37
MAH 2026 is a living document, designed to be flexible and allow for agility. Each year, we will revisit the plan to evaluate our progress and use that assessment to develop annual work plans and budgets for board approval. While the plan will inform and guide our work, we will also remain nimble to take advantage of new opportunities and changing conditions. Plan Overview Again, our vision is to ignite shared experiences and unexpected connections that enrich our community, accomplished by a mission to bring people together through art and local history to explore our diverse cultures, and guided by five core
Titled MAH 2026, the plan expands on our proud 25-year history as a center for the intersection of art, history, and civic life. It builds on what we have learned, from our successes to our setbacks. In some places it continues our efforts to maintain and improve upon our standards of excellence in exhibitions, programs, collections, and publications. In others, it outlines new initiatives to advance and deepen our impact on individual lives, improve the wellbeing of our community, and ensure equity and vitality through diversity and inclusivity. It strives to set the MAH on a stronger financial and organizational course, increase our base of support, and strengthen our staff and governance. Like all strategic plans, ours aligns ambitions and resources. It seeks to balance aspirational programming with fiscal sustainability and prioritizes experimentation with new models of engagement and growth. Each of the MAH’s new strategies has a series of measurable goals and time-based initiatives that are supported by specific tactics and actions, all of which will be integrated across the museum to ensure inter-departmental synergy and coordination. Some actions have begun; some are continuations of ongoing work; others are in the planning phases; and still others are geared for the future.
Our major strategies are to increase engagement and retention through innovative and time-tested programs that attract audiences, engage community, and spark connections; deepen relationships and collaboration through mutually beneficial partnerships that leverage resources and expertise to benefit the public; and build resilience and capacity through streamlined practices in all areas of management and operations. With organizational learning as a core operating tenet, we rely on data-based decisionmaking and measurable methodologies to improve, extend, and increase the impact of MAH experiences, while continuing to embrace the experimentation, risk-taking, inventiveness, and reflection the MAH is known for.

The Path Forward MAH 2026 is focused on the impact and outcomes between our organization and our diverse community, from connoisseurs of art, history, and culture to the creative and curious explorers who seek inspiration through shared experiences and unexpected connections. We aim to nurture these relationships and serve our community in a way that is inspiring and thoughtprovoking while also ensuring long-term organizational sustainability. To do so, the MAH must enhance its programs, operations, facilities, and resources—and the process to accomplishing this is laid out in the plan.
values: 1) engagement and collaboration; 2) diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; 3) innovation and experimentation; 4) excellence and rigor; and 5) accountability, integrity, and responsibility.
Upon its completion in 2026, we expect more than ever to be a sustainable, vital, and resilient MAH, focused on audiences and bolstered by even deeper, more substantive community relationships.
The plan is a pathway that promises to build momentum and usher the MAH forward into the next era for our institution. We hope you will not only support us but join us on this exciting journey. Together, our potential knows no bounds.

By cultivating a healthy and sustainable creative economy, we ensure that Santa Cruz County remains a great place to live, work, and play. Our achievements on this front are not the work of the MAH alone, but instead result from the exemplary collaboration of many partners. Together we have built a livable downtown (where livability refers to its tangible, physical attributes), and together we can ensure vibrancy (the positive emotional qualities of a community) for years to come.

Community Belonging Nurturing a sense of belonging among all people contributes to healthy, meaningful lives and safe, inclusive neighborhoods. When we encourage culture and identity to flourish, civic participation increases. MAH programming enhances belonging by animating our museum, historic sites, and public spaces in a way that acknowledges and honors our diverse cultures and histories, while encouraging interaction and community building. We use interventions to engage people as active collaborators around art and history; to make and offer space that fosters encounter, dialogue, and social cohesion; and to build individual and collective capacity to sustain socially and place-connected, resilient communities.
Similar to the placemaking movement in community development, placekeeping is an effort to recognize and celebrate a community’s extant cultural identity, history, and people by elevating local culture, heritage, and landscapes through artistic and historical interpretation. Not only do the MAH’s exhibitions, festivals, and programs encourage localism as well as the tourism that financially benefits businesses, workforce, and City and
And yet, it is no secret that these are challenging times for arts and culture. Around the world, museums have experienced reduced funding, operational issues due to COVID, and other difficulties. In Santa Cruz County, too, our cultural landscape has been altered in unprecedented ways. At a time of such uncertainty, we believe it is crucial to recognize the enduring value of creative enterprise to drive community development. We need to celebrate our local cultural organizations and do what we can to support the sector. We need to develop vision, strategies, and priorities, and ensure long-term funding to sustain high-quality programs and facilities.

To continue moving this work forward, our plans for the future involve the following emphases.
The MAH contributes to this effort in 2022 and beyond by forging boldly ahead with our inventive offerings, and working with collaborators to breathe new life into our cultural scene and public spaces.

FunderAcknowledgmentsRecognition
It is through the generous support of members, corporate sponsors, foundations, and government partners that the MAH is able to be a community resource and economic asset. To learn more about how to get involved with the institution’s work, please visit the MAH’s website to see our various engagement and philanthropic opportunities. We thank our donors, volunteers, and collaborators for their tremendous support, and look forward to working with new friends as we continue to pursue new horizons. Land Acknowledgment The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma. Photo Credits The majority of images featured in this publication were sourced from the MAH’s portfolio and archives. Special thanks to photographers Crystal Birns, Bianca Curiel, Daris Jasper, R.R. Jones, Libby Kastle, and Orbie Pullen. In Memoriam The MAH community mourns the loss of some of our longtime friends and supporters. They will be deeply missed. George V. Majors (1945–2022) William “Bill” Mathews (1937–2021) Diane Porter Cooley (1928–2022) Robert “Rob” Smiley (1960–2021)
