Annual Review 2018-19

THANK YOU!

It is my pleasure to share with our members and donors this publication which highlights the many activities of The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art from July 2018 – June 2019. Last year in this letter I announced The Ringling Inspires: Honoring the Legacy and Building for the Future $100 million campaign and now I am proud to say that during this past year we completed the campaign. On April 6, 2019, Florida State University President John Thrasher and Provost Sally McRorie joined The Ringling staff and board as we celebrated the conclusion of our historic campaign having raised $101,330,000 since 2008. During the day we celebrated with everyone in our community by offering a Free Day where over 3,000 visitors attended. That evening we celebrated with our donors and FSU leadership the accomplishments of all who worked on this remarkable campaign. Not only did we exceed our fundraising goal, but we also set the strategic vision for our future with the launch of Inclusion, Inspiration, Excellence: A Strategic Vision for The Ringling, 2019-2023. Developed collaboratively with staff, board, FSU leadership and community stakeholders, the plan looks to enhance the future relevance and vitality of The Ringling by focusing on our community engagement, our collections and programs, and our staff and legacy. This plan will enable us to build meaningful bridges that connect with diverse audiences of all ages to continue to serve as the heart of Sarasota’s thriving cultural community.

Thank you for your support and belief in The Ringling! As always, I hope to see you at The Ringling many times in the year ahead.

Steven High Executive Director

The Ringling’s attendance once again exceeded 400,000 visitors and our financial position is stronger than ever in our history.

81,917 VISITORS SERVED ON DOCENT TOURS

Our diverse array of family programs served 12,560 participants over the course of the year, a 13.6% increase from the previous year. Families enjoyed programming for all ages, including our stroller tours for infants and caregivers, our early reading program for toddlers, and our art-making programs for children and their adults. Families have been raving about the opportunities offered to them, describing the programs as “accessible, interesting, and collaborative.” Writes one participant, “Amazing! I have loved the conversation and imagination that this program has sparked in my children!” In January, an exciting ticketing change was introduced, making all family programs completely free of charge. This policy allows the museum to be more inclusive of all families, including those with diverse family structures and those from low-income households. Education staff presented on The Ringling’s youth programs at the annual conferences of the Florida Association of Museums and the American Alliance of Museums. The Homeschool program continues to thrive, with nearly 2,000 people having taken part in this unique learning opportunity over the course of the year.

Students from pre-K through college took advantage of the Ringling’s school programs this year, with over 10,000 students making on-site visits to the museum. Over 50 Title 1 schools came to The Ringling this year. Among them were 215 incoming kindergartners, who embarked on their first ever field trip as part of the Summer Learning Academy, which helps prepare them for the upcoming school year. School tours are always free of charge; in addition, the museum distributed $10,000 in bus scholarship funds to make field trips possible for all. We expanded tour options this year to include the first floor of the Ca’ d’Zan, tying The Ringling’s legacy into the Florida history curriculum. We were honored to participate in the inaugural year of Wild for Literacy, a Sarasota County Schools program designed to promote literacy among kindergarten and first grade students. We offered several professional development training opportunities for teachers to support arts integration and arts education, partnering with local organizations such as Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Booker Middle School VPA Creative Writing, Any Given Child, Embracing Our Differences, Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, and the School District of Manatee County.

Our docent program, which is one of the most active in the country, provides museum visitors special insight to the stories told by our collections. In the past year, Ringling docents gave 9,126 tours to 81,917 visitors across four museum venues: over 400 tours in the Circus Museum, over 6,500 tours of the Ca’ d’Zan, and more than 2,000 tours in the Museum of Art. We began stationing docents in the Museum of Art on free Mondays to provide engagement for our visitors on that venue’s busiest day of the week. In the summer of 2018, Ca’ d’Zan docents participated in a refresher course to ensure the continued high caliber of the tours we offer. We also recruited 20 new Ca’ d’Zan docents who underwent three months of intensive training. Each docent candidate put in many hours of work studying the history of the Ringlings and the Ca’ d’Zan and practicing visitor engagement techniques. We look forward to having this new group of docents join our enthusiastic team of dedicated volunteers helping share the legacy of the Ringlings.

We continued to serve our adult audiences of lifelong learners through our Gallery Walk and Talk tours, Collecting Recollections oral histories, Conversation programs, Viewpoint lectures, Art and a Movie screenings, and Grounds & Gardens workshops. Notable guest speakers this year included artists Jill Sigman, Coco Fusco, Teo Gonzalez, and Natasha Mazurka; scholars Melissa Hyde, Dirk Breiding, and Shige Suzuki, and critic Mark Lamster. We also introduced a new program model called Meet Ups, which provided space for discourse about the Coco Fusco: Twilight exhibition. Meet Ups served as forums for museum visitors to exchange ideas with one another and share personal insights spurred by the exhibition. Additional Coco Fusco: Twilight programming was made available by the generosity of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, which provided the funds to bring Fusco and three Cuban artists to The Ringling for a day-long discussion of poetry, film, freedom of expression, and politics in contemporary Cuba, available to participants at no charge.

No matter the format, audience, or topic, Education programs at The Ringling provide accessible entry points into the collection and promote a love of learning for all.

INCLUSION AND OUTREACH

In support of The Ringling’s Strategic Vision for 2019 – 2023, the IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, access) Team was formally created this year and tasked with making The Ringling a place where all truly feel welcome.

354 FAMILIES VISITED VIA MUSEUMS FOR ALL

1,121 GUESTS RECEIVED FREE ADMISSION

600 FREE WEB FAMILY MEMBERSHIPS

13 COMMUNITY NON-PROFITS PARTNERED WITH WEB

27 ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAMS

650 PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES SERVED

The IDEA Team, which is made up of staff members from all departments, oversees efforts to remove barriers to participation at the museum. On March 6, we convened a group of community stakeholders to get valuable input about how we can better serve our audiences. Participants discussed outreach and marketing efforts, how to be more inclusive, and what programs and content are most relevant. Bringing these diverse community voices together was an important first step in what will be an ongoing commitment to making the museum readily accessible to everyone.

Recognizing that the price of admission can prevent low-income visitors from coming to the museum, The Ringling joined the national Museums for All initiative. Through Museums for All, families receiving food assistance (SNAP benefits) receive free museum admission to the Ringling as often as they would like just by presenting their EBT card. The Ringling took the additional step of expanding the program to also include families receiving WIC assistance, furthering our reach to the underserved families in our area.

Our commitment to accessibility was evident in our ongoing partnerships with Southeastern Guide Dogs, the Lighthouse Vision Loss Education Center, and Easter Seals. We offer these groups regular tours and programs that have been specially adapted to allow the clients to participate fully in the experience, regardless of their disability. In the fall, we launched a brand new access program called Ringling Reflections, which are free monthly gallery tours for people with memory loss and their families. To ensure we are meeting the needs of local participants, the program was planned in consultation with The Caregiving Place at The Friendship Centers. The title Reflections comes from the idea that participants are asked to reflect on the artworks directly in front them, eliminating the need for recalled memory that would put those with dementia at a cognitive disadvantage. Writes one Reflections participant, “…it was the best day ever. Days like that are certainly highlights to make up for some very stressful days and uncertainty of the disease.”

The Where Everyone Belongs (WEB) program, the museum’s initiative to engage low-income or underrepresented families in our community, has now distributed over 600 free family-level memberships. We connect with these families via partnerships with non-profit social service organizations. The WEB outreach coordinator builds relationships by visiting the families off-site and then inviting them to the museum for an orientation program that empowers parents to feel confident visiting the museum on their own. The WEB program is made possible by the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation, with additional support from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.

WEB families have found the program rewarding and meaningful.

“I love the Ringling museum. As a single mother and disabled adult on a poverty income having this opportunity to participate in family friendly activities with my five year old and have a complimentary membership has been an amazing experience.”

“It is the most wonderful place and being able to have a free membership for me and my son has been life changing and allowed me and my six year old to participate more fully in our community.”

The Ringling’s commitment to equity and barrier removal will continue to be an integral force shaping our way forward into the future.

Interpolations: Artworks from The Ringling and Monda Collections

MAR 17 – SEP 8, 2019

This exhibition brought together artworks from The Ringling’s permanent collection of modern and contemporary art and selections from Keith D. and Linda L. Monda’s collection. In spring 2018, the Museum added to its grounds Beverly Pepper’s Curvae in Curvae (2012), the lyrical sculpture in Cor-ten steel, which is a part of four promised gifts from the Monda family. The other three promised gifts are compelling works by artists Teo González, Yayoi Kusama, and Richard Serra. These gifts significantly enrich The Ringling’s holdings of works by important artists working today, some new to the collection. The artworks enable the Museum to present a broader, and more complex history of late twentieth- and early twentyfirst-century art. These new promised gifts were featured along with other selections from the Monda’s collection and key works from The Ringling’s own growing collection of modern and contemporary art. The exhibition is part of The Ringling’s ongoing Art of Our Time initiative, enacting our dedication to present diverse voices and perspectives to our visitors.

Natasha Mazurka: Order Systems

MAR 17 – SEP 29, 2019

Order Systems, the first US solo museum exhibition by Natasha Mazurka, debuts a new body of paintings, embossings, and site-specific installations using textured layers of colored vinyl. Mazurka’s work centers on the communicative potential of pattern by sampling and combining visual references from a spectrum of disciplines, including architecture and biology, data analytics, and instructional code. The resulting visual syntax seen in her work stems from intense research looking into different pattern languages and ways they are designed to lend order to our experiences. Through processes of manipulation and synthesis, her projects flatter and disturb concepts of certainty and stability residing within pattern systems existing all around us.

Fourth Quarter: Senior Athletes, Their Indomitable Spirit

Photographs by David Burnett

APR 13 – JUL 21, 2019

This exhibition featured new work by acclaimed photojournalist David Burnett, commissioned by his 2017 Greenfield Prize at the Hermitage Artist Retreat. For his latest project, Fourth Quarter, Burnett spent nearly two years photographing senior-aged athletes from around the country who dedicate themselves to serious physical competition and team sports. In this engaging series, he treats his subjects with reverence as he celebrates their tenacity and challenges us to rethink our notions of what aging means in the 21st century. This exhibition was supported, in part, by the Hermitage Artist Retreat and The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Foundation.

Chivalry & Circus

FEB 9 – JUN 3, 2019

Imagery of knights in shining armor are woven throughout the history of American popular culture. From its beginning, the United States has idealized the traits of courage, piety, and civility that are embodied in images of knights of the Middle Ages. The stories of heroes like King Arthur, St. George the dragon slayer, and Joan of Arc are still well-known today. This exhibition featured the representations of knights and the Middle Ages in Circus posters and costumes from the Howard Tibbals Collection.

The term chivalry is derived from the French word cheval (horse). Given the central role of equestrian feats in the earliest circus performances, it is not surprising that show owners would happily incorporate the noble figure of the knight on horseback in their performances and advertising.

Knights

FEB 3 – APR 21, 2019

Drawn from the superb collections of the Museo Stibbert in Florence, Italy, this extraordinary exhibition revealed the figure of the European knight from the Renaissance through the Medieval Revival of the 19th century. With more than 100 rare objects, including full suits of armor, helmets, swords, and other weaponry, the exhibition focused on the function, history and craftsmanship of these exquisite pieces, while exploring relevant themes of love and war, jousts and tournaments. This exhibition was organized by Contemporanea Progetti in collaboration with the Museo Stibbert, Florence, Italy and accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue.

Support for this exhibition was generously provided, in part, by the Arthur F. and Ulla R. Searing Endowment, the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation Endowment, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Foundation. Paid for, in part, by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax Revenues.

Woodblock Prints from Postwar Japan

NOV 18 – MAY 5, 2019

This exhibition draws from the Ringling Museum of Art’s extensive holdings of postwar Japanese prints and local collections. Established in the 1960s, the Ringling’s collection has continued to grow through the generosity of successive generations of discerning and passionate individuals. On display were works by key artists including Onchi Kōshirō, Hiratsuka Un’ichi, Saitō Kiyoshi, Yoshida Chizuko, and Hoshi Jōshi, including a number of new acquisitions and never-before exhibited pieces.

Support for this exhibition has been generously provided in part by the Paul Grootkerk Memorial Fund, Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Ringling Museum and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Foundation.

Coco Fusco: Twilight

OCT 14, 2018 – FEB 17, 2019

The Ringling organized this solo exhibition presenting recent video projects by internationally-acclaimed writer and interdisciplinary artist Coco Fusco. The exhibition, Twilight, presented works exploring the current political and social climate in Cuba as the Revolution enters its twilight years. Works presented in the Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art included La botella al mar de María Elena (2015); La confesión (2015); The Empty Plaza/La Plaza Vacia (2012); and her latest film Vivir en junio con la lengua afuera/To Live in June with Your Tongue Hanging Out (2018). Made possible by her 2016 Greenfield commission at the Hermitage Artist Retreat, Vivir en junio is a short video-essay on contemporary Cuba that reflects on the anxieties emerging as the country faces an uncertain future. As part of Twilight, Fusco unveiled a new sculpture on The Ringling’s grounds. The sculpture, Tin Man of the Twenty-First Century (2018), offered the artist’s satirical commentary on contemporary US politics.

This exhibition was generously supported, in part, by the Amicus Endowment, the Bob and Diane Roskamp Endowment, the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation Ringling Museum Endowment, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Foundation.

For Freedoms: Vote and Continue to Dream

SEP 17 – NOV 18, 2018

For Freedoms is a platform created for civic engagement, discourse and direct action for artists in the United States. This year, For Freedoms launched its 50 State Initiative, a new phase of programming to encourage broad participation and inspire conversation around November’s midterm elections. The Ringling participated by commissioning Vote and Continue to Dream, a 10- by 40-foot image by renowned photographer Carrie Mae Weems on a billboard in Sarasota.

Watercolors from the Permanent Collection

SEP 15, 2018 – FEB 3, 2019

This small focus exhibition featured a selection of watercolors from The Ringling’s permanent collection, illustrating the various ways artists have used the medium. The exhibition included works by Edward Hopper, Charles Burchfield, and Childe Hassam, among others.

Support for this exhibition was provided by the John and Mable Ringling Museum General Museum Endowment.

250 Years of the Circus in Print

SEP 11, 2018 – FEB 4, 2019

Throughout the 250 year history of the modern circus, the growth of the circus parallels the evolution of commercial printing, with each business benefiting from innovations in the other. As the print industry advanced from movable type into lithography and eventually offset printing, circuses adopted new visual strategies to announce to communities across the continent the wonders to come.

Even after shows folded and performers retired, circus posters and prints remained as unique windows on history. Once posted on buildings and fences to give a glimpse into the magical world of the circus that would soon arrive, today circus posters allow us to look at the changing American experience. Individually they tell of performers and shows, but collectively, in printed advertising we see cultural shifts in attitude from the growth of Western colonialist attitudes to the introduction of new technologies or the shifting role of women in society.

This exhibition in the Tibbals Learning Center highlighted posters and prints from the past 250 years in celebration of the anniversary year of the first modern circus. Support for this exhibition was provided in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues.

Storytelling: French Art from The Horvitz Collection

SEP 9 – DEC 2, 2018

Storytelling united two exhibitions drawn from one of the world’s finest private collections of French art: Imaging Text: French Drawings for Book Illustration from The Horvitz Collection, and Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century French Paintings from The Horvitz Collection. Together, the two exhibitions featured 60 drawings with 10 related prints, and a selection of 10 paintings. With subjects ranging from mythological and religious scenes to more playful genre imagery, these stunning works offered a rich overview of the narrative tradition in French art.

Storytelling was curated by Alvin L. Clark, Jr., Curator, The Horvitz Collection and The J.E. Horvitz Consultative Curator, Harvard Art Museums. Support for this exhibition was provided, in part, by the Bob and Diane Roskamp Endowment, the Arthur F. and Ulla R. Searing Endowment, the Peter and Mary Lou Vogt Endowment, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Foundation.

This extended season enabled us to provide engaging and explorative opportunities for our community through workshops, masterclasses, and conversations with artists throughout the year.

The Ringling’s new Art of Performance season presented provocative time based art across a range of performance disciplines that included dance, music, and theater. Through public performances and engagement programs with artists in the Historic Asolo Theater and beyond, the program integrated art forms and presented culturally diverse and significant programming.

Beginning with a unique sound/light interactive installation in The Ringling’s Monda Gallery, the season continued with a diverse selection of dance, music, and theater in our Historic Asolo Theater and on The Ringling grounds. The season concluded with Spotlight Florida. This new initiative provides an annual platform and developmental support for contemporary artists from around Florida. Our first Spotlight Florida residency spanned a six month period in which Sarasota-based Moving Ethos dancers used our Perret Performance Studio space to develop a new work, hosted a myriad of community engagement programs and concluded in April with the world premiere of girlwoman in the Historic Asolo Theater.

PERFORMANCES

FOR 2018-2019:

VOLUMES by Ezra Masch

AUG 16 – SEP 6, 2018

VOLUMES was an installation and performative work by Ezra Masch. Featuring a drum set wired to suspended LED lights that reflected tone and amplitude of the drums, the 60+ performers each played 20 minute sets on the drums and experimented with the visual patterns and forms generated in the lights – playing the lights as much as they play the physical drum set. Special guest performers included Brian Blade, Greg Fox, Taylor Gordon, and Antonio Sanchez.

TRANSIENT LANDSCAPES by Matthew Duvall

OCT 19 & 20, 2018

Matthew Duvall, percussionist for Eighth Blackbird, returned to The Ringling to present a series of percussive performances that simultaneously celebrated and utilized The Ringling’s flora and fauna as an instrument of sound.

THE NATURE OF FORGETTING Theatre Re

NOV 9 & 10, 2018

At the intersection of art and science, The Nature of Forgetting bursts with creativity, joy and heartache. A collaboration with neuroscientist Kate Jeffrey, this London-based theater company created a moving articulation of the countless dimensions of memory and amnesia, linking science with real life experiences.

POINT OF INTEREST

Raphael Xavier

NOV 30 & DEC 1, 2018

Crackling with bravado and high-energy physicality, Raphael Xavier, and a multi-generational cast, perform a series of solos, duets, and quintets in his newest work, featuring a soundscape of beats, spoken word poetry and musical rhythms. Point of Interest ventured into the mature space for hip-hop dance, following the standard of traditional Breaking aesthetics while pushing the boundaries of a culture and dance form commonly associated with youth.

ALL OVER THE MAP

Bill Bowers

JAN 18 & 19, 2019

Veteran solo artist Bill Bowers uses movement, mime, and comedy to recreate his indelible memories from thirty years of touring. 50 states, 30 years on the road, 25 countries, 2 hookers, 1 bunny, and a mime, the audience was taken to places so unbelievable they could only be true.

40,247 OBJECTS

975 NEW ACQUISITIONS

941 GIFTS 16 BEQUESTS 18 ITEMS PURCHASED

60 OBJECTS LOANED

215 OBJECTS BORROWED

The Collections department oversaw multiple and complex exhibition installations and our growing collection acquisition program as well as shepherding our works on loan to institutions around the world.

Some of the highlights of the past year included the renovation of collection storage vault spaces in the Historic Circus Museum and the second phase of the gallery reinstallation project in the original 21 galleries of the art museum, completing galleries 16-18.

Collections installed and de-installed 10 exhibitions over the year consisting of both in-house & traveling projects. Two of the international traveling exhibitions Knights and Fabric of India required extensive preparation work in design, fabrication, and installation, as well as registrarial and conservation oversight of the objects. A large-scale Japanese object rotation in Chao Gallery & Mezzanine Gallery in the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art also occurred during the year.

Collections were involved in two additional projects that required much planning and reorganization. The first was the reorganization of our off-site storage facility which involved the removal of older exhibition furniture and the relocation of many objects back to onsite storage. A second major project occurred late in the year as we began the renovation of the Historic Circus Museum. Many circus objects had to be temporarily relocated to other storage facilities on the property while renovation of Circus Museum was underway.

Collections staff participated in a public presentation entitled Collections, Behind the Scenes to provide an in-depth look at the work of Registration, Conservation, and Exhibit Prep and Design. Collections also participated in a blog article entitled Secrets of the Collections Department. The department hosted an NEH Preservation Digital Workshop with the Image Permanence Institute at the Rochester Institute of Technology and an object training workshop for local FBI and Homeland Security agents. Staff also participated on the Advisory Committee for The Sarasota African American Cultural Arts & Historical Coalition, Inc. to assist in the planning for the Newtown Cultural Center. Staff members also attended national & international conferences and gave presentations at: International Institute for Conservation, American Association for State and Local History (AASLH), Alliance of American Museums (AAM), American Institute for Conservation, and the Midwestern Conservation Guild.

Our collections were sought out by art museums in the U.S. and Europe with significant paintings loaned to the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum in Florida, the Currier Museum of Art in New Hampshire, the San Diego Museum of Art and the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums’ Legion of Honor in California. Internationally, work traveled to the Städel Art Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany and the Musée National du PortRoyal des Champs, Paris, France.

975 new acquisitions entered The Ringling’s collection this past year. Acquisition highlights included a Deana Lawson photo Binky & Tony Forever from 2009, Walker Evans photographs of Florida scenes from 1941, 78 photographs by prominent US photographers working in Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republican from the 1930s to 1980s, and 36 Indian works (27 miniature paintings, 3 drawings and 6 Mandela paintings) that expands The Ringling’s holdings of Indian miniature paintings. Numerous Japanese modern woodblock prints and Circus posters also entered into our collections.

CONSERVATION

The Ca’ d’Zan Terra Cotta Restoration Project, begun in 2015, was completed in October 2018. This involved the restoration of John’s Office balcony and a significant portion of the Belvedere Tower. Historically accurate replicas were fabricated for unsalvageable elements using cast terra cotta and handpainted glazes. This project was sponsored in part by a $500,000 grant from the Department of State, Division of Historical Resources and the State of Florida. Additional funding came from numerous donors including Richard and Cornelia Matson’s gift to help restore John Ringling’s balcony.

Two major conservation projects at the Museum of Art (MOA) were carried out over the past year, the restoration of Gallery 2’s historic floor and the repair and restoration of the cast stone corbels and balustrade on the east entrance façade. The exotic hardwood floor in Gallery 2 (Rubens Gallery) had become a hazard due to deterioration of the adhesive that held the boards in place. Our conservation contractors, EverGreene Architectural Arts, documented the location of more than 5,000 boards and systematically removed, cleaned, and replaced each board in its exact original location. The cast stone corbels and balustrade on the MOA show weathering and biological deterioration and require a comprehensive effort to clean and stabilize these surfaces. This year we accomplished the first phase of the stabilization and waterproofing treatment on the north and south faces at the east end of the MOA.

Additional projects over the past year included the completion of the restoration of historic iron lanterns suspended in the MOA loggia, the repair and reinstallation of Mable’s Rose Garden’s gazebo and two stone sculptures that were damaged during Hurricane Irma, and the documentation, conservation, and restoration of the Ca’ d’Zan swimming pool. Work also began on the eventual conservation and installation of our Cypriot Collection in 2021 by conducting a condition survey on 200 Cypriot objects selected for inclusion in the Gallery 12 installation.

In an exciting conclusion to the year, the conservation department applied for and received a grant in the amount of $176,800 from the Getty Foundation as part of its Conserving Canvas initiative. This grant will support a major conservation treatment of one of the largest paintings in our collection, the 13 x 22’ painting Emperor Justinian by Jean-Joseph BenjaminConstant. The project incorporates training of emerging and mid-career painting conservators through treatment residencies and a training workshop on structural conservation to be held at ArtCare Conservation in Miami. Other grants were awarded in support of the Conservation Fellowship and Ca’ d’Zan terra cotta conservation.

ART LIBRARY

The Ringling Art Library supports the research of museum staff and volunteers, as well as students, faculty, and scholars from colleges and universities throughout the state and around the country. The library continues to grow its collections through gift and purchase, and actively borrows materials for the use of certain patrons through interlibrary loan. One of the great treasures of the library is the book collection of John Ringling, whose copy of Rembrandt Paintings in America was conserved this past year. The library continues to provide services to the public and to offer public programs, including a popular book club and conversation series, exploring aspects of the library and its collections in greater detail.

ARCHIVES

Archives staff have been busy consolidating The Ringling’s archival holdings, processing archival collections, and making archival materials accessible to researchers. A major area of emphasis has been The Ringling’s institutional records, which are actively being used in support of a number of curatorial projects. Archives staff have worked with four student interns who have contributed to a variety of departmental initiatives, including the processing of circus collections. Staff have provided tours to numerous college classes and other groups, which have helped to raise awareness of the archives as a resource and of archivy as a discipline. Staff have also contributed to the establishment of the Alliance for Response Sarasota, which fosters collaboration on disaster preparedness and response among local cultural institutions.

The Ringling Museum received $3.8 million in Non-Recurring Plant Operation and Maintenance (PO&M) funding for certain renovation and restoration projects from Florida State University.

Working in conjunction with Willis Smith and Florida State University Capital Projects, The Ringling was able to steward these funds to accomplish the projects on the Ca’ d’Zan roof, Circus Museum, storm water system, security and Wi-Fi upgrades, and ADA trams.

The Ringling engaged IBA Consultants, Inc., a specialized contractor who works with historic buildings to provide a detailed evaluation and condition assessment of the exterior roof and structures of the Ca’ d’Zan. The Ringling will work with EverGreene Architectural Arts to implement the recommended structural repairs and improvements.

The Circus Museum exterior structures including the roof had deteriorated due to age and weather and were contributing to building leakage during rain storms. In an effort to provide for a more secure exterior envelope, The Ringling and Willis Smith worked in coordination with historic preservation architect Linda Stevenson to evaluate the historic nature and significance of structures that contributed to interior flooding of the building. Such structures were deemed non-historic and non-essential and were removed. In addition, the Circus Museum roof was renovated and warranted for twelve years.

Compromised storm drains on property are located adjacent to the Historic Circus Museum and are an additional contributing factor to building leakage and flooding. Willis Smith worked with AM Engineering to investigate the cause of such failure and implemented repair and re-routing recommendations given the long-term plan for a new Circus Museum.

Due to complementary wiring, switches, and computer systems, we initiated a security camera system and Wi-Fi system upgrade simultaneously. This project required substantial technology based upgrades (hardware and software) and was completed by the end of fiscal year 2019. The Ringling also upgraded and replaced all existing ADA and visitor trams. Ringling Security and Facilities identified requirements necessary for new ADA compliant Visitor Trams and Staff Carts. In coordination with the delivery of the new trams, The Ringling management reversed the tram driving paths to better accommodate visitor traffic and tell the story of John and Mable Ringling.

Our Grounds department’s database of tree records within Treekeeper has been updated utilizing the efforts of volunteers and interns. There are now over 2,200 trees listed in the database which, when accessed, will provide an image and information on the species, the scientific and common name, height and diameter. This database is now available to the public on our website at ringling.org.

ADVANCEMENT

In March of 2019, The Ringling announced the successful completion of The Ringling Inspires: Honoring the Legacy and Building for the Future Campaign. The campaign raised $101,330,000 exceeding its $100 million goal.

This campaign was a component of Florida State University’s $1 Billion Raise the Torch campaign that concluded earlier in the year. The impact of The Ringling Inspires campaign will last for years into the future. Accomplishments from the campaign were the establishment of two endowed curatorial positions: The Shank Family Foundation’s Currie-Kohlmann Curator of Performance; and the Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art. And as a result of the campaign, the permanent collection has nearly doubled through gifts of artwork and art acquisition funding. Major gifts from the campaign have led to the naming of multiple venues, including the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art, the David F. Bolger Campiello and Promenade, the David F. Bolger Playspace, the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion, the William G. and Marie Selby Foundation Grand Hall, the Charlotte and Charles Perret Family Performance Studio, the Nancy Ellis Tea House, the Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art, and the David W. and the Mary S. Benfer Courtyard.

Support for performance and modern and contemporary art installations was provided by the Ellin Family Foundation with the naming of the Ellin Family Art of Our Time Endowment. Support for The Ringling circus collection was provided by Howard and Janice Tibbals. Support from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation and the Community Foundation of Sarasota County was integral to the success of the campaign. Additionally, we have seen significant household membership and legacy society growth over the last few years and new funding initiatives for at risk families, community engagement and access. This included creation of the Where Everyone Belongs program (WEB) with a grant from the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation.
