THANK YOU! I’m pleased to report that we returned to full programming and exhibitions during the 2022–23 fiscal year for the first time since 2019. We are looking forward to sustained growth for the future. This year’s annual review contains a full roster of activities from throughout the year and the launch of several construction/ renovation projects that will soon be underway. I want to thank all of you, our esteemed members and visitors to The Ringling, for supporting us as we rebuilt in staffing and funding over the COVID years. Our visitors are central to our mission and vision for The Ringling. Everything we do centers on providing extraordinary experiences for locals and tourists, for art enthusiasts and admirers of our beautiful grounds, and for lovers of both the circus and Ca’ d’Zan. The 2022–23 fiscal year featured a series of successful exhibitions including A Decade of Collecting, which highlighted The Ringling’s commitment to expanding our collection through gifts and acquisitions and showcased some of the many gems we have added that reflect our diverse community and collections. We were also proud to feature our first exhibition in partnership with the Florida Seminole community and its diaspora. That exhibition, Reclaiming Home: Contemporary Seminole Art, featured twelve artists of Seminole heritage who work in many different forms, including beadwork, paintings, film, and sculpture. We hope to continue to build connections with the Seminole community through exhibitions, programs, and partnerships in the coming years.

Our recently branded HAT Performance Art Series presented many incredible performances by artists based in and out of the US, including Kyle Abraham from New York, Companhia de Dança from Brazil, and Alfredo Martinez and Pedrito Martinez from NYC/Miami/Cuba.

This past year we made great progress on planning for several major architectural projects that you will begin to see occurring on our campus in 2023–24. At Ca’ d’Zan, we completed the design drawings for replacing the tiled roof. A much-needed repair, this new roof will stop water penetration into the upper floors of the house. The roof replacement will be coordinated with two other major projects: the replacement of the aged climate control system, which will create a quiet airflow, and the re-installation of the restored Aeolian Organ, which will again fill the house with wonderful music.

The former Banyan Café has gone through phase one of the project this year and is now reduced to the skeletal forms of its original design. Now we will be able to accurately determine the costs of restoring this precious 1961 structure. I look forward to bringing back an innovative and beautiful example of a Sarasota School building by architect William Rupp.

I want to thank all our members for your support over the past year. Your commitment to The Ringling inspires all of us. I also want to acknowledge the tremendous support we receive from Florida State University. Special thanks go to President Richard McCullough, Provost James Clark, and Senior VP for Finance & Administration Kyle Clark. Thank you!

The Education department had a year of growth and rebuilding along all program areas. Guided tours returned to Ca’ d’Zan with the September 2022 introduction of a new Ca’ d’Zan Experience tour, exploring all five floors of John and Mable Ringling’s bayside mansion. To support the return of Ca’ d’Zan tours, the museum recruited and trained its largest and most diverse class of Museum Guides. 63 new volunteers came on board to lead Ca’ d’Zan tours and play a pivotal role in ongoing interpretation in the historic house museum.

Two new part-time Teaching Artist positions were added to the Outreach program. This expansion was generously funded by private donations and provides needed support for the museum’s ongoing outreach efforts. Thanks to our donors and the skills of our Teaching Artists, our Outreach impact increased this year, with partnerships both new and sustained.

Family programs grew with a long-awaited classroom renovation project. The Ringling MakerSpace transformed our multi-use classroom into a dynamic and creative setting for art making for all audiences. The MakerSpace is home to our family programs, which had a successful summer of free family programming for all ages.

Students flocked to The Ringling for innovative school programs. $10,700 was awarded in bus scholarship funds to 17 schools, making our free school visits truly free and accessible.

New student worksheets, connected to state standards, took classes across campus to engage with various collections on an interdisciplinary tour of The Ringling. Our homeschool program remained a popular staple for homeschoolers throughout the state of Florida, as families traveled from near and far to participate in this free monthly program.

The Education department collaborated with curatorial and events staff to host a public celebration of Reclaiming Home: Contemporary Seminole Art. 1,400 people attended this free day at the museum to hear directly from the artists featured in the exhibition. Many Reclaiming Home artists returned throughout the year to give public Gallery Talks throughout the course of the exhibition.

Adult education programs continued with 6 dynamic academic lectures featuring artists, visiting scholars, and staff. The Ringling partnered with Visual Thinking Strategies to host a Look Club Online Residency throughout September 2022, allowing participants from around the world to interact with works from the museum’s collection.

Arts & Health programming continued to expand with partnerships with Sarasota Memorial Hospital and FSU College of Medicine. The Ringling was one of 16 art museums to join the national Vitality Arts Project to combat ageism in museums and support programming for older adults. The Ringling was awarded $109,900 to start the Lifelong Arts workshop program for older adults, which began in fall 2023.

The Education department collaborated with four non-profit partners to produce exhibitions in The Community Gallery this year. Welcome to Our World was presented by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Manatee County from May 4 – August 2, 2022. Unidos Somos Mas, presented

by UnidosNow, was on view from August 3, 2022 – February 4, 2023.

Glimpse of the Artist was presented by the Sarasota African American Cultural Coalition from February 7 – May 9, 2023. Drag Culture Timeline, presented by the Fabulous Arts Foundation, rounded out the year from May 10 – August 7, 2023.

The Education Department designs thoughtful and engaging programs to join all areas of our collections and all people in our community. We are looking forward to building on the foundational success of 2022–2023.

Highlights from the Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Collection of Photography installation view

AUG 20, 2022 – FEB 12, 2023 The Ringling featured a selection of works from the museum’s Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Collection of Photography, which includes over 1,000 photographic objects and represents some of the most important photo-based artists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The exhibition demonstrated the variety of perspectives and artistic visions that emerged as photographers sought new ways to give expression to the modern world.

This exhibition was part of the Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Photography and Media Arts Program at The Ringling. Paid for in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues. Support for this exhibition was provided by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the Herald Tribune, and the Selby Foundation Ringling Museum Endowment. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

A Decade of Collecting OCT 22, 2022 – JAN 22, 2023 The 100 works in this exhibition, which were chosen to demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the collecting efforts across all programs at the museum, represented less than 1% of what The Ringling has acquired since 2011. A Decade of Collecting presented a unique snapshot of how The Ringling’s collection continues to evolve, allowing us to tell new stories of the past, present, and future.

This exhibition was made possible through the generous contributions by our donors of art and financial support to expand and enhance our collection. Additional support was provided by the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, the Gulf Coast Community Foundation Endowment at The Ringling, and the Ringling Museum of Art Foundation.

Paid for in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues. Sponsored in part by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture, the Florida Council on Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Gods and Lovers: Paintings and Sculptures from India NOV 12, 2022 – MAY 29, 2023 This exhibition showcased examples of Indian painting and sculpture from The Ringling and private Florida collections.

On view were paintings by artists from various schools affiliated with royal courts across northern, central, and western India between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. These small format artworks, often referred to as “miniatures,” were created as leaves of books or albums for the private contemplation of elite patrons. The exhibition also included Hindu and Jain sculptures dating from the ninth to fourteenth centuries from the bequest of John and Mable Ringling.

Paid for in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues.

Empresses of the Rings and Queens of the Air NOV 2022 – JUN 2023 Admired for their artistry, strength, and beauty, female circus performers have often been the focus of print advertising.

This exhibit featured posters of some of the great female performers of the 19th and 20th centuries, all billed with grandiose language intended to elevate the audience's respect for their performance.

June Clark: Harlem Quilt DEC 17, 2022 – MAR 26, 2023 June Clark’s solo exhibition at The Ringling marked the Harlem Quilt’s first presentation at a US museum since its unveiling at the Studio Museum in New York City in 1997.

The immersive installation consisted of over three hundred individual pieces of fabric, each with a black-and-white photo transferred onto its surface.

The project grew out of Clark’s artistic residency at the Studio Museum in Harlem from 1996 – 1997. Harlem Quilt expresses the artist’s deep love and sensibility for Harlem’s community through a unique method of quilt-making where a lightbulb above each image creates a sense of intimacy and commemoration.

The exhibition also included works by Clark on canvas and paper ranging from 1994 to 2022.

Paid for in part by Sarasota County Tourist Development Tax revenues.

Reclaiming Home: Contemporary Seminole Art MAR 18 – SEP 4, 2023 Reclaiming Home: Contemporary Seminole Art marked The Ringling’s first presentation of contemporary art by Native American artists with ancestral, historical, and present-day connections to Florida. The exhibition expanded the conceptual framework of Native American art made in Florida and provided a fuller understanding of the complexities within the Seminole diaspora. Reclaiming Home was also The Ringling’s first collaboration with Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum of Seminole culture and history.

This exhibition was supported, in part, by the Gulf Coast Community Foundation; The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Endowment; the Mandell and Madeleine Berman Foundation Endowment; and the Bob and Diane Roskamp Endowment. Sponsored, in part, by the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture; the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; and the National Endowment for the Arts. Special thanks to The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Art Deco Lacquer and Textiles from Japan APR 8 – OCT 22, 2023 In the decades between World War I and World War II,the Art Deco movement emerged as a new global artistic style. In Japan, this development coincided with rapid modernization and the rise of nationalism. Artists and designers adapted Art Deco aesthetics to suit traditional forms, motifs, and materials, creating a distinctive version of the movement that reflected the local cultural, social, and political concerns. This exhibition included five lacquer objects and three garments embodying the innovative spirit and technical virtuosity of Japanese artists as they sought to reimagine their media for the twentieth century.

From the Chambers: Honoring John Sims MAY 6 – AUG 6, 2023 In December 2022, the innovative artist and activist John Sims passed away suddenly at his studio in Sarasota. The tragic loss of Sims left a deep impact on the art world. Sims’s art, informed by mathematics, design, sacred symbols, and poetic text, boldly confronted white supremacy, the Confederate flag, and the deep disparities within our society.

Just weeks before his death, The Ringling acquired Sims’s sculpture From the Chambers and his video poem Lost Chambers directly from the artist. The exhibition From the Chambers: Honoring John Sims brought those two works together, on view publicly for the first time, in conjunction with John Chamberlain’s sculpture Added Pleasure.

Lorna Bieber: Natural World MAY 20 – OCT 15, 2023 The Ringling presented a solo exhibition of works by Lorna Bieber in May that included two new pieces making their debut in the Keith D. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art. Bieber’s artwork first and foremost encourages the pleasures of looking and discovering anew the details of the visual world. Her artistic practice is grounded in the principles of appropriating, recycling, and manipulating imagery. During this exhibition, The Ringling debuted Bieber’s two newest works, Ordinary Day (2019) and Quiet Night (2022), both of which represented new directions in the artist’s methodology.

EXHIBITIONS

This year saw a return to The Ringling’s active exhibition and loan schedules.

In addition to our renewed operations, staff oversaw a pivotal project alongside our Conservation and Curatorial colleagues in the de-assembly and de-installation of Ca’ d’Zan’s Aeolian organ. Working alongside Parsons Pipe Organ Builders, staff fully removed all furniture, decorative arts, and artwork from the Great Hall in preparation for removal of all organ chambers and components from inside the historic mansion. While the organ undergoes further restoration work this next year, the Collections team continues to support all preparations for its return and re-installation at Ca’ d’Zan. The department also oversaw the installation and de-installation of 20 inhouse and traveling exhibitions. Projects of note include June Clark: Harlem Quilt; Gods and Lovers: Paintings and Sculptures from India; Highlights from the Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Collection of Photography; A Decade of Collecting; Reclaiming Home: Contemporary Seminole Art; and Lorna Bieber: Natural World. Staff continued to support our regularly scheduled gallery rotations of light-sensitive material in the Chao Gallery in the Ting Tsung and Wei Fong Chao Center for Asian Art and in the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion.

This year saw the successful onboarding of our long-vacant role of Associate Registrar of Exhibitions. Additionally, we secured a seasoned candidate for one of our vacant Preparator positions, and we supported colleagues on the Circus team in the establishment of their own independent department. In addition to this growth, museum leadership secured the resources to acquire a custom climatized box truck that will allow our staff to properly transport works of art. Currently in production, the truck will allow for greater efficiency of staff time and department funds, allowing us to transport artwork as needed and lessen our dependance on costly rentals.

In addition to our many on-site responsibilities, our team continued to prioritize professional development opportunities. Of note was a training on best practices in art handling in collaboration with colleagues at FSU.

Members of our Collections and Conservation teams traveled to Tallahassee to instruct members of the University’s Facilities departments on emergency response protocols relating to fine art and historic objects. While in Tallahassee, we collected our Fonderia Chiurazzi bronze sculpture Victory from the Master Craftsman Studio, which had been on loan for over twenty years.

Our department supported more than 80 artworks in over 13 loans, 4 of which traveled internationally, and 9 of which traveled domestically. October 2022 saw a return to passenger travel on cargo flights, allowing us to send our first in-person courier to the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, accompanying our painting St. Martin The Beggar by Jorge Manuel Theotokopoulos. Since then, we have successfully couriered three additional transports, two of which were international. Notable loans this year include Rosa Bonheur’s A Family of Deer to the Musée des Beaux-Arts Bourdeaux and Musée d’Orsay, Paris: the first time the painting has been loaned since John Ringling purchased it in 1928. Our Juan de Pareja painting, Flight into Egypt, traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art this past spring, and two paintings from the workshop of Artemisia Gentileschi were loaned to the Intesa Sanpaolo at the Gallerie d’Italia in Naples, Italy.

New additions to the collection this year include significant donations of nineteenth- and twentieth-century prints and drawings to our art and circus collections, including over 40 botanical engravings by Pierre Joseph Redouté, as well as a large collection of twentieth-century photography, including works by Roy DeCarava, Eliot Furness Porter, and Henri Cartier-Bresson. In a continuation of our efforts toward diversifying our collection and ensuring its balanced growth, The Ringling acquired 17 Japanese and Asian ceramics, the painting Femme au fond rouge by Juana Romani, several notable contemporary artworks including those by Mladen Bizumic, Emilio Chapela, William Villalongo, and six significant works of glass, primarily by female artists. Cataloging efforts continue for some of our largest and most recent gifts, including the Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Collection, donated in FY19-20. A core group of dedicated volunteers provides significant support for the processing of our larger-scale acquisitions.

CONSERVATION

During 2022–23, conservators conducted in-house conservation examination of several hundred objects proposed for acquisition, requested for loan, or included in the exhibitions and installations described in this report.

Major conservation treatments completed in-house included our Joshua Reynolds oil sketch John Manners, Marquess of Granby by Chief Conservator Barbara A. Ramsay and the marble Pascual Cortés Portrait Bust of a Monsignor by Conservator of Sculpture and Decorative Arts Emily Brown.

Brown continued to manage the Cypriot object conservation project—treating objects, overseeing contracted conservation treatment, and advising on display mounts and cases, preparing 201 objects for the 2024 reinstallation of Gallery 12. In addition, she coordinated the scientific analysis and 3-D scanning of Cypriot objects by Dr. Robert Tykot and Dr. Davide Tanasi from University of South Florida.

Between May and September of 2022, as a subcontractor to Willis Smith Construction, EverGreene Architectural Arts completed major conservation of the Museum of Art cast stone cornices and balustrades on the east façade (main entrance) and maintenance of the north and south cornices.

Ramsay provided oversight and technical consultation during cleaning, removal of failed caulking materials, stabilization, biological treatment, replacement of failed corbel brackets, replacement of sealants and mortar, and waterproofing. This work not only improved the appearance of the façade but also provided structural stability and waterproofing that will help preserve the building for many years to come.

In other contracted projects, EverGreene carried out conservation maintenance on the Bolger Reflecting Pool at Ca’ d’Zan in December. This work involved overall cleaning, removal of failed mortar and resealing of joins, repair of damaged wood and marble elements, replacement of select damaged blue floor tiles, and retouching/sealing of abraded areas on the glazed ceramic pool surround. Ramsay consulted with EverGreene with respect to options for more comprehensive treatment of the deteriorating replicated blue tiles. EverGreene also carried out maintenance conservation treatment of David and stabilization of two bronze Male Deer.

Miami conservator Dimitra Pantoulia worked in Conservation one week per month and treated 31 Cypriot objects. Venice conservator Sonja Jordan-Mowery examined and treated several works on paper in preparation for exhibition or installation in the museum. New York conservator Drew Anderson restored a sixteenth/seventeenth-century stained glass work donated by Fran Fergusson, who helped support the conservation costs.

Jackson Art Care and Loudermilk Conservation carried out inpainting on the Watermelon Regatta in March.

EverGreene provided a comprehensive assessment and conservation treatment options for the Astor Mansion period rooms—the Library and Cream Salon. In addition, they submitted proposals for conservation of the cast stone cornices and balustrades on the Museum of Art courtyard façades. Steel City Art Conservation conducted a condition survey of 135 objects in the photography collection to identify conservation treatment and re-housing needs.

Conservation staff were actively involved in consulting on the planning of several special projects, including removal of the Aeolian organ, replacement of the roof, and revamping of the HVAC system at Ca’ d’Zan, in addition to restoration of the Rupp Pavilion.

Ramsay collaborated with Virginia Museum of Fine Art conservators and curators in a technical study involving three of our early Marcel Duchamp paintings. She participated in the production of the audio guide for The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Juan de Pareja exhibition and facilitated scheduling of a tour of The Met painting conservation studio for The Ringling’s group visit in May 2023.

Brown supervised conservation summer intern Gianna Puzzo, graduate student in conservation at Winterthur/University of Delaware, during their project involving an in-depth assessment of the environmental monitoring system in The Ringling’s museum buildings.

ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

The Ringling’s Academic Affairs program offers higher education, training, research, and professional development opportunities to students, faculty, and scholars from around the world.

The Ringling is a department of Florida State University (FSU) and a partner institution of the Cross College Alliance (CCA) along with New College of Florida (NCF), Ringling College of Art and Design (RCAD), State College of Florida (SCF), and the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee (USFSM).

The museum continued its year-round internship program hosting 21 interns across several Ringling departments including Archives, Conservation, Collections, Curatorial, Education, and Visitor Services. During the academic year, Ringling staff collaborated with CCA faculty and students to support collections research for several projects.

Many student groups also took part in Ringling campus tours that introduced The Ringling’s many collections, programs, venues, and resources. In-residence FSU interns worked on projects supporting the museum’s Strategic Plan initiatives. Most importantly, this valuable skill-building work helped Ringling interns secure prestigious full-time positions after completing their graduate degrees including the Romare Bearden Fellowship at the St. Louis Art Museum and the Accessibility Coordinator at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C..

For summer, The Ringling hosted eight interns from regional, national, and international schools. These interns worked on full-time projects such as a campus-wide conservation survey, exhibition sustainability research, and community engagement with art making and education. And new for 2023, a new housing collaboration with NCF provided a more affordable dormitory option for Ringling interns, leading to an increase in summer internship applications by over 100% compared to the previous summer.

Finally, The Ringling introduced the Eleanor Merritt Fellowship in February 2023, a oneyear visiting appointment focused on training talented post-undergraduates considering museum and cultural heritage careers. The fellow started in August 2023 completing cross-departmental projects and supporting The Ringling’s Strategic Plan. The fellowship provides valuable professional experience and prepares fellows for onward academic and career success. The fellowship is named after Eleanor Merritt, an artist, art educator, and The Ringling’s first African American docent and board member. She was known for her exploration of society, spirituality, and gender through her artwork. The Ringling celebrated her career in its 2022 exhibition, Eleanor Merritt: Remembrance.

ARCHIVES Building on The Ringling Archives’ strategy to share the history preserved in our records to a wide and diverse audience, we work to provide online public access to the museum’s archival collections.

To this end, the Archives’ collection goals for 2022–23 were to expand the capabilities of the digitization lab, adjust workflows around these changes, continue to process collections, and host these collections on Florida State University’s public access catalog, DigiNole. With the assistance of nine interns and six volunteers, the Archives has added the following collections on DigiNole: Tibbals Circus Collection of Trade Cards; Meeting Minutes of the Governing Boards of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art; Tibbals Circus Collection of Circus Programs; Dr. Robert Pierce Harris Photography Collection; and the Members’ Magazines of The Ringling.

The Archives’ digitization lab has acquired new technologies to make additional formats accessible. These include a film scanner purchased with funds from the Peck-Stackpoole Foundation and a book scanner. Onsite interns have opportunities to broaden their skill sets using these digital technologies.

We have also prioritized documentation of the restoration of the Aeolian organ in Ca’ d’Zan. A cinematographer captured the deinstallation of the organ, including interviews with consultant staff working onsite. We also documented the initial steps of the organ’s restoration and have budgeted for the project’s ongoing progress.

Archives Collection Specialist, Susan O’Shea using the Bookeye book scanner.

In preparation for the centennial celebration of Ca’ d’Zan, the Museum of Art, John Ringling Estates, and the arrival of Winter Quarters to Sarasota, the Archives has been updating the museum’s documentation related to these topics. Finding aids for the Papers of John N. Ringling, 1843–1936 and the Julius Böhler Records of John Ringling, 1925–1948 have been updated, and the historic architectural drawings, plats, maps, photographs, and printed materials related to Ringling’s local ventures have been processed.

Portions of these collections will be digitized so that they will be readily accessible to support the museum’s efforts to celebrate and promote centennial projects.

FACILITIES & GROUNDS

A strong working relationship with FSU has enabled The Ringling to make progress on a wide range of facility projects, including restoration and maintenance of the buildings on our campus and the care of our grounds. We also work closely with conservators and historic preservation architects when our projects focus on the historic aspects of our campus.

BUILDINGS Two major roofing projects received deferred maintenance funding totaling around $5 million. The first is the Ca’ d’Zan roof project, for which design is completed. In the coming year, we will complete the HVAC design so that the roof and HVAC can be addressed simultaneously while the historic Aeolian organ is off-site for restoration. The second is the Museum of Art roof project, which has entered the design phase. In the courtyard of the Museum of Art, the doors allowing passage into the courtyard were replaced, facilitating usage of that area for special events, weddings, and receptions. The former Banyan Café, which will return to its 1961 configuration by William Rupp, entered into a demolition phase that will remove the kitchen and other services that had been added to the original building.

We are in the design phase for the lighting of Joseph’s Coat: A Skyspace by James Turrell, which will be upgraded according to the specifications of the artist’s proprietary system.

The Johnson-Blalock Education Center received new flooring throughout the offices on the second floor, and the MakerSpace on the first floor received new vinyl flooring as part of a larger renovation. Finally, we completed an interior demolition phase at our off-site building on US 301 in preparation for future build-out that will reflect a new purpose for the space.

GROUNDS The grounds at The Ringling are a Level 2 arboretum as designated by ArbNet, the arboretum accreditation body of the Morton Arboretum. In-house staffing shortages continue, and we are relying on contractual staffing for general grounds services, with Ringling staff focusing on more detailed services. After suffering damage due to Hurricane Ian and Tropical Storm Nicole, Mable Ringling’s Rose Garden has rebounded and is doing well with ongoing maintenance. The playground equipment in the Bolger Playspace was repaired.

Finally, the digital display sign on US 41 was upgraded to a sign with higher resolution.

ADVANCEMENT We’re thankful for your engagement and support. Your gifts are making a difference at The Ringling. They are impacting every aspect of our campus: performances, collections, conservation, exhibitions, outreach, education, and grounds. Your generosity enhances everything you love about The Ringling.

In 2022, the exhibition A Decade of Collecting showcased selections of works that had been acquired by The Ringling over the past ten years. During that period, more than ten thousand objects were added to the permanent collection—more than in any previous decade—and 97% of those objects were donated. Additionally, financial gifts made it possible to strategically purchase works to enhance specific genres or areas of our collections.

The enormous task of conserving our collection, which includes artwork, artifacts, and historic architecture, is made possible by your support. Significant accomplishments were made in conserving sculpture and paintings, such as the eighteenth-century Watermelon Regatta and The Ringling’s soon-to-be-on-view Cypriot collection. Other ongoing conservation and restoration projects include Ca’ d’Zan’s historic Aeolian pipe organ which is slated to be reinstalled in the next year or two, the Museum of Art Courtyard’s many sculptures, the Rupp Pavilion (formerly the Banyan Café), and more. Private support from individuals like you has helped us move these projects forward.

You helped underwrite the Art of Performance series in the HAT, special events like Wine and Roses, and numerous educational offerings. In March, we celebrated the induction of nine new members into our Legacy Society during a beautiful luncheon on the bay.

Wine & Roses

Membership plays a crucial role in supporting The Ringling’s daily operations. This year, we enhanced Circle membership by developing a wide variety of substantive programs, behind-the-scenes opportunities, and salon events on collecting and education that provided insiders’ perspectives. Our Member Travel program was reinstated with a trip to New York City, where participants toured The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition Juan de Pareja: Afro-Hispanic Painter, featuring an important work on loan from The Ringling.
