WheatonArts Biennial Report

BIENNIAL REPORT 2013 – 2014

Our mission is to engage artists and audiences in an evolving exploration of creativity.

This mission is advanced through the interpretation of collections and exhibitions; education initiatives and culturally diverse public programs; residencies and other opportunities for artists.

The Museum of American Glass, at the heart of WheatonArts, houses the most comprehensive collection of glass produced in America and is one of only eight institutions in New Jersey to be accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. Artist studios, including the renowned WheatonArts Glass Studio, serve a dynamic community of artists, including international artists awarded fellowships by the Creative Glass Center of America.

Regionally, the Down Jersey Folklife Program has provided multicultural programs and educational resources featuring artists and tradition bearers from more than 55 ethnic and cultural groups throughout South Jersey. Other studio programs in ceramics and classes in diverse mediums help demystify the creative process, as artists share their skills and vision while providing unique programming for children and adults. Wheatonarts, also home to four award-winning museum stores and a 10,000 square foot event center, is located on a 50+ acre setting that is its own attraction.

Among its many distinctions, WheatonArts has been repeatedly designated as a Major Arts Institution by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, on the basis of the institution’s “solid history of artistic excellence, substantial programming, and broad public service” and as an “anchor institution that contributes vitally to the quality of life in New Jersey.”

Focus. Continuity. Freedom.

Opportunity. These words pop into my head, …a place where glass, and glass making, are as primary as oxygen. My Wheaton experiences are the cornerstone of my life as an artist working with glass.

WHEATONARTS

This two year report on the activities of reflects the focus of our work to build the participation of artists and audiences through expanded community outreach, the development of strategic partnerships and the delivery of artistically excellent programs. We are proud to report that success was realized on so many levels despite a continually challenging and uncertain economic climate. It is with true gratitude that we deliver this report to all who have supported WheatonArts over the last two years as financial patrons, program partners, participating artists and other community members who have invested in WheatonArts with care and value for the work we do.

—artist Walter Zimmerman

While it is impossible to convey two years of true impact, we are pleased to be able to share the many highlights that represent the public benefit provided by WheatonArts to over 100,000 visitors and another 150,000 at offsite demonstrations and lectures. Over 1,200 artists have participated in exhibitions, performances, studio residencies, internships, teaching opportunities and special events such as GlassWeekend and the Festival of Fine Craft.

Highlights of organizational achievements over the last two years include the renewal of the Accreditation of the Museum of American Glass by the American Alliance of Museums.

As one of only eight institutions in NJ to be accredited by the AAM, we look forward to moving forward with plans to activate the museum galleries with the same inspired creative activity taking place at WheatonArts on a daily basis. Our impact has also been recognized by the NJ State Council on the Arts, with the continued designation of Major Arts Institution, awarded on the basis of our “solid history of artistic excellence, substantial programming, and broad public service” and as an “anchor institution that contributes vitally to the quality of life in New Jersey.” Consecutive “Citations of Excellence” bestowed by the Council are especially meaningful, as they reflect the respect of our peer reviewers.

WheatonArts is a “creative placemaker” and has been since before the term was coined.

Our diverse events are true community builders, many dependent on partners to whom we are so very grateful. Diverse events ranging from GlassWeekend and the Festival of Fine Craft, to the Community Creative Connections festival celebrating the cultural traditions of communities originating from eleven Balkan nations, all provide a meeting place for artists and audiences; a community energized and inspired by an unusual level of access to the creative process.

An estimated 15,000 students of all ages have benefited from education programs that include interactive field trips, our Glasstown Collective Program for Cumberland County students, professional development programs for teachers, ongoing “make-your-own” program, and classes and workshops for teens and adults in a variety of mediums.

Artists gracing our campus as staff, resident Fellows and guests, bring with them an energy that sustains us. This energy was highlighted in 2013, as we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the Creative Glass Center of America Fellowship program, and the support offered to over 325 artists with generous studio residencies at WheatonArts.

The last two years haven’t been without challenges. Fiscal year 2013 began with a destructive derecho storm hitting our region, necessitating the cancellation of our 50/Forward fundraiser, while hosting artists and other guests from throughout the country. A few months later Superstorm Sandy devastated areas just north of us and while we were spared a direct hit, for months afterward attendance was affected by the perception that all NJ destinations were closed. The fact that we were just starting to recover from the worst economic times in the institution’s forty + year history didn’t help. Despite the threats, we’ve been able to protect the organization — what has become known as a “sanctuary” to many — in a world that remains a little less certain and somewhat less safe for arts institutions.

In summary, there is no doubt that the creativity and hard work of a committed staff, board, volunteers and our partners have advanced our mission. The inclusion of artists as primary partners, the building of community partnerships, and the deepening of educational experiences have all occurred with excellence. We now enter a new phase of work, deeply informed and inspired by our accomplishments of the last two years. Our recently updated strategic plan will guide us as we create an operating model that further solidifies our identity, maximizes the impact of our collections, improves the accommodation of our visitors’ and artists’ needs all while ensuring the long term sustainability of the organization and maintaining our beautiful campus.

With your support we will meet and surpass our goals with a vision to provide an artcentered sanctuary; a place where our guests can explore creative expression, where artists are invited to create in a nurturing environment, and where all may learn from each other.

The gift of time is one of the most important things that can be provided to an artist.

Facilities come next, and following that a sense of community. Put these three together and you have the ingredients for a vital, powerful experience which can change one’s life. …

Wheaton would be my first choice if I could pick anywhere in the world to spend three months making my work.

—artist Mark Zirpel

Engaging Artists

Exhibitions & Programs Our fiscal year 2013 season (beginning 7/01/12) began with Celebrating 50 Years, a nationwide celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the American Studio Glass Movement, initiated by the first glass workshops held at the Toledo Museum of Art in 1962. Activities included the Museum of American Glass exhibition “Celebrating 50 Years: American Studio Glass” (April 1– December 30, 2012), which provided a comprehensive history and understanding of the American Studio Glass Movement. Works selected from the museum’s permanent collection represented the movement’s founders and subsequent generations of artists that have brought esteem to the field. A companion exhibit, Pioneers of American Studio Glass: Edris Eckhardt, Maurice Heaton, and Frances and Michael Higgins (April 1 – December 30, 2012) highlighted pioneer artists who experimented with glass during the 1940s, ‘50s and ’60s.

& Audiences It sounds profound, but the residencies at Wheaton Arts changed my life deeply and played a major role in what I do today.

It’s a magical place where you find the freedom and support to realize your visions.

—artist Sibylle Peretti

Despite the terrible derecho storm mentioned in the introduction, and the loss of power on most of the campus during a 100+ degree heat wave, a great team of artists participated in a related collaborative studio event, Celebration: 50/Forward (June 30 – July 1, 2012).

Participating Artists included Hank Adams, Tina Aufiero, Deborah Czeresko, Stephen Paul Day, Jim Harmon, Paul Marioni, Richard Marquis, Pike Powers, Paul Stankard and Mark Zirpel.

Studio glass art was also celebrated with the exhibit, The Artistry of Rick Ayotte: From the Collection of Gordon Park (April 1- October 14, 2012).This exhibit not only reflected the evolution of Rick Ayotte’s work, but also exemplified the commitment of Gordon Park as a supportive collector.

In contrast, and as an example of a mission-based intent to appreciate, preserve and perpetuate the cultural traditions of our region’s incredibly rich and diverse population, we ended 2012 with a special program focus on the Communities and Cultures of the Balkans, the fourth program in our Creative Community Connections series. Major project activities included exhibitions and educational programs, as well as a conference of artists and scholars addressing topics such as comparative studies and historical transformations of the Balkans traditions; adaptation of traditional art forms to the contemporary way of life; and preparation of the Balkan cultural heritage in the multi-cultural context of American society. A day-long festival (September 15, 2012) celebrated the cultural heritage through music, dance and various traditional arts of the Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania and Slovenia.

The fiscal year 2014 season opened with the Paul J. Stankard 50th Anniversary Exhibit (April 1 – May 5, 2013). Celebrating his remarkable fifty years as a studio artist, Paul J. Stankard unveiled new work in addition to early work from the 1970s and 1980s.

On April 14, 2013 Paul presented a self-narrated demonstration of his working process to an audience of over 200 people.

The recognition of important anniversaries continued with the exhibit Wheaton Glass: The Art of the Fellowship, (April 2, 2013 – January 5, 2014), celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Creative Glass Center of America Fellowship Program and the three decades of extraordinary support offered to 325 individual artists who work with glass. Artists continue to benefit from studio residencies that offer the freedom to explore their artistic vision in a warm, supportive and creative environment. The work chosen for this exhibition by guest curators Diane Wright and Tina Aufiero, prompted conversations about the legacy of the Fellows, the traditions of glassmaking, and the evolution of both methods and concepts articulated in glass. Concurrent to this exhibit, Celebrating 30 Years: The Creative Glass Center of America Permanent Collection provided a glimpse into some of these same Fellows’ early work made at WheatonArts during their fellowships.

Additional exhibits organized by the Museum of American Glass, also demonstrated the range of focus from historical glass to contemporary glass, included A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Collections from the Federation of Historic Bottle Collectors (April 1 – September 1, 2013), and Twilight Station – An Installation by Andrew Bearnot (September 2013 – January 2015), offering visitors a light-sensory experience in a “twilight” environment.

It truly is a haven that fosters creativity; the community, museum, studios, and folk life center are sources of continued inspiration.

I am indebted to Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center for the evolution in my work at critical points in my journey.

—artist Beth Lipman

The biennial GlassWeekend ’13 (June 12–15) brought the world’s leading artists, collectors, galleries, and museum curators together for a three-day weekend of exhibitions, lectures, hands-on glassmaking, artists’ demonstrations and social events. Internationally respected galleries exhibited works of art made by hundreds of professional artists working in glass. Featured guest demonstrating artists included Beth Lipman, Davide Salvadore and Hiroshi Yamano. Judith Schaechter delivered the exceptional keynote speech “Skill and De-Skilling: Does Technique Enhance or Hinder Creativity,” which was highly praised by artists and collectors alike.

In 2013, cross-cultural participation was enhanced by a program featuring the traditional arts of Haiti. The exhibit, Remembering Ginen: Haitian Vodou Bottles, Flags and Vévé, was installed in the Museum of American Glass, reflecting a benchmark in our efforts to integrate our folklife program with the Museum. Exquisite glass bottles painted by HaitianAmerican artist Kesler Pierre were displayed with authentic Haitian pictorial flags provided by the avid collector, Nancy Josephson. Accompanying programs that aided in the interpretation of Haitian creativity and artistic expressions included a Haitian Vévé Design Workshop with Kesler Pierre and a special presentation by Nancy Josephson, Spirits in Sequins: Vodou Flags of Haiti. The great performance, Remembering Ginen: Traditional Music and Dance of Haiti, featured La Troupe Makandal of New York and included interactive music and dance workshop for audience members.

Fiscal year 2014 also included the beginning of a year-long participation in a state-wide celebration of the 350th Anniversary of New Jersey in 2014 with the installation of NJ 350: Through the Lens of Glass (April 1, 2014 – January 4, 2015). The exhibit explored the relationship between glass and South Jersey through the use of the collection and archives of the Museum of American Glass, oral histories of local glassmakers, and examples of work made by regional artists. A smaller exhibit, Durand: Made In New Jersey (April 1, 2014 – January 4, 2015), featured the creativity and craftsmanship of the local Durand Art Glass, operating from 1924 through 1931 at the Vineland Flint Glass Works.

In the Spring of 2014, the biennial Paperweight Fest 2014 was presented in partnership with the Delaware Valley Paperweight Collectors Association. A dealers fair, lectures and panels, and collaborative artist demonstrations in the Glass Studio featuring artist teams David Graeber and Gordon Smith, and Chris Sherwin and Daniel Salazar, drew around 200 weekend long collectors and day visitors.

The Museum Shops at WheatonArts Our unique Museum Stores support the programs and activities with products that reflect our mission, collections and exhibitions. Highlights include an array of one-of-a-kind handmade gifts, including works made by our resident and associated artists. The Gallery of Fine Craft mounts up to five changing exhibits each year featuring both local and national individual artists. Exhibits in the last two years included: Unique Designs for the Home All Gifts Great and Small Creative Glass Center Alumni Biennial Tea Pottery: Handcrafted Pottery for the Avid Tea Drinker with artists: Amy Peseller, Terry Plasket, Erika Pugh and Phyllis Seidner The Paintings of Glenn Rudderow: Reflections On Nature All Good Things Great and Small, Handcrafted Holiday Gifts Keepers of the Flame: A Celebration of Contemporary Flamework In The Frame: An Invitational of Two-Dimensional Works by New Jersey Artists

Education Programs Opportunities for adults and teens over the past two years included spring and fall classes and “intensive” weekend workshops ranging from glass blowing, to Ukranian traditional arts to wood fired pottery to culinary arts. Over 500 people benefited. Another 850 people participated in our one-on-one Make Your Own Program, as they were personally guided through the glassmaking or pottery-making process.

The Big Wood Kiln Project In the spring of 2013, WheatonArts successfully embarked on its first Kickstarter campaign. The Pottery Studio at WheatonArts raised over $12,000 to fund the expansion of the 10-year old wood kiln. The addition of a second chamber to the existing wood kiln, built by hand by our four resident potters, allows our artists to experiment and provides a resource for a growing community of potters.

The Glasstown Collective Program is a group of student programs developed to address interactive arts education and basic skills needs of area students. The Glasstown Partnership in particular addresses the critical social and developmental goals of selected 4th graders from Millville, and all the Glasstown Collective programs align with the State of New Jersey’s Core Content Curriculum Standards and other educational criteria.

GrowCreative! is a unique partnership with the neighboring Millville Child and Family Center, a city-wide preschool serving 600+ 3 and 4 year olds. WheatonArts offers free admission to the families of students, teachers and aides. Preschool programs over the past 2 years have included an annual 3-day exploration of butterflies (supported by the Rutgers Master Gardeners), and special environmental programs delivered by our local Watershed Ambassador. All activities are accompanied by art making activities. The school was also our target audience for a presentation by the Centenary Theatre, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, supported by the New Jersey Theater Alliance Stages Festival. Glasstown Field Trips!, another Glasstown Collective program, provides subsidized admission to schools in Cumberland County.

Another highlight of our education program in 2013 was artist J. Kenneth Leap’s in-school artist residency at Cumberland Regional High School. As an independent artist and frequent resident at WheatonArts, Ken completed a 10-week residency at Cumberland Regional High School through a partnership with the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. His role was to work with a select group of students, teach them the art of painting on glass, and work with them as a team to create an installation for their school based on family and community traditions. The final product is more than the sum of its parts and will be a legacy and a tribute to the history and folklore of Cumberland County for many, many years.

Professional Development Workshops for Teachers in 2013 intentionally aligned with our special programs. They offered educators an introduction to Haitian history, culture and major belief systems coexisting in the Haitian culture—Christianity and Vodou, as well as art forms reflecting this co-existence. Symbolism and aesthetics of the Vodou ceremonies, including music, dance, flags, altars, bottles and Vévé were all topics of focus. In 2014, a special professional development day for teachers was linked to the statewide celebration of New Jersey’s 350th Anniversary, and included visits to the Glass Studio with hands-on experience in glass casting, a guided tour of the Museum of American Glass and a special presentation on Lenni Lenape traditions and culture.

Access to numerous programs and events was expanded by the generous support by PNC Bank Foundation’s PNC Arts Alive! initiative. Wheaton Wide Open, a month-long open house in July 2013, offered free admission for all children and adults. Special programming included guest artist demonstrations, glass bubble blowing for children, family hands-on workshops, performances, PNC Creation Stations, and more. Attendance was 61% higher in July than the year prior. Success in 2013 inspired a similar program in 2014, over eight three-day free weekends. As a partner in the Bank of America Museums on Us program, and the North American Reciprocal Museum Program, many others have received free admission. All these programs have inspired a thoughtful analysis of the financial barrier created by our gate fee, and this will inform strategic planning as we go forward.

13 years ago I had the opportunity to experience WheatonArts’ Make Your Own Paperweight, and it changed my life! …Once I saw a few demos, you could not drag me away! I was like a moth drawn to a flame …. For me, this Make-Your-Own experience led to seven and a half years of glassblowing courses. So, yes, a single hands-on experience like this might just change your life...

—artist Tony Patti

Special Annual Events Highlighting our annual events is the Festival of Fine Craft, held on the first full weekend of October. The Festival offers thousands of visitors the opportunity to view the fine work made by up to 140 juried artists, watch artist demonstrations, participate in hands-on family activities and browse our remarkable Glass Pumpkin Patch.

Other community-focused events have been very successful due to our fine partners.

The events include Paws for Art (in partnership with the Cumberland County SPCA), EcoFair (in partnership with the Cumberland County Improvement Authority), Fantasy Faire (Mystic Realms), A Garden of Quilts (Garden Patch Quilters), HalloWheaton (Mystic Realms), the Antique Fire Apparatus & Muster (Glasstown Antique Fire Brigade), and a Hanukkah Celebration (Cumberland County Jewish Federation). Many of these community events are free and provide a sense of place for our local community.

As the leaves fell and the cold winter set in, WheatonArts invited our visitors to Discover the Warmth with winter themed activites and programming. Special holiday activities included blowing the World’s Largest Ornament in the Glass Studio with artist Deborah Czeresko and her team. Other activities included special free arts and crafts activities for children and their families. Additionally, in December of both years, we presented our annual Old Spirituals and Gospel Concert, featuring the South Jersey Community Men’s Gospel Choir, the Whittington Family, and Transforming Truth Ministries.

Behind the Scenes In addition to the many events, exhibitions and activities that WheatonArts provides, the dedicated staff works tirelessly behind the scenes to maintain and enhance our park-like 55 acre grounds and the 18 structures of our physical plant.

I Many changes, although not entirely visible to the public, have been happening in the Museum of American Glass, one of only eight institutions in New Jersey accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. In 2013 the roof was replaced, as a critical need due to age and a series of bad weather events. Interior changes have also allowed for displays that focus on the renowned historic glass and art collections. Over 8,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space was reorganized and reinstalled.

I Fundraising and Friend-raising was the focus in March of 2014, as WheatonArts partnered with long-time supporters, Skip Schwarzman and Lynn Buono of Feast Your Eyes Catering, at their beautiful catering facility at Front + Palmer, South Kensington, Philadelphia.

Over 100 people attended an evening themed on the film, The Big Night, including an elaborate Italian dinner combined with artful entertainment, decor and music.

I And then there were lights. In addition to the grueling program and maintenance schedule in the Glass Studio, the staff has made the time over the past few years to add an element of whimsy to WheatonArts’ public events by designing what has become signature lighting. Repurposed and flexible, these beautiful lights lend a fanciful air to our rustic, wooded setting. Additionally, over the winter of 2012, the studio staff embarked on a large project to open up the dimly-lit glass studio with new windows, adding a contemporary ambiance to our beautiful grounds.

I Our Sanctuary. WheatonArts is grateful to our partners Allen Jackson, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Citizens United for the Maurice River, Cumberland County Master Gardeners and all of our volunteers in our endeavor to promote the health of the wildlife habitat surrounding Wheaton. This long-term project includes the planting of native plants on the land surrounding the lake in the hopes of attracting new birds, and the installation of vernal ponds to create habitats for frogs. Additionally, our local Boy Scouts worked together to make bat boxes to give native bats a respite on their midnight flights. We look forward to continuing these projects to enhance our campus, a true sanctuary for all creatures.

Campaign for WheatonArts The WheatonArts Board of Trustees has initiated a Campaign for Wheaton to raise funds to support ongoing capital and operating needs that align with the institutional strategic plan goals. With the first phase completed (100% board participation), we look forward to moving to the next stage. Projects and initiatives include: • Strengthening our Exhibitions and Collections through the reinvention of the Museum of American Glass facility and ensuring the future security of our collection.

• The upgrade and expansion of artist housing in order to accommodate growth in artist participation.

• Studio equipment upgrades and replacement to ensure a productive, efficient and safe working environment for our artists.

• Technology, essential to the success of business operations, as well as our ability to advance our mission and communicate effectively with our audiences.

• Capital Repairs and Maintenance, including deferred capital needs, ADA compliance, public safety and green initiatives.

• A spend-down cash reserve, to support growth and stability by restoring the cash reserve impacted by the recession and subsequent slow recovery.

The following list reflects the cumulative contributions campaign projects as of the printing of this report:

Moving Forward Over the next few years WheatonArts will be guided by our most recent Strategic Plan Update. In the planning process, goals were refined and updated based on the success of the last three years. The process revealed continuing “creative tensions,” representing both challenges and opportunities created in part by the evolution of our original institutional identity. The juxtaposition of tradition and history with contemporary art; serving the needs of local, regional, and national audiences; and, adapting the faux-Victorian infrastructure toward one that emphasizes WheatonArts as a creative institution. Over the next few years, with flexibility, authenticity, and creativity, we hope to curate excellent programs and events that reflect the unique interfacing elements that make us unique, and to redefine the institution more fully as a sustainable, contemporary “living museum” to be deeply informed by an artist community.

While there is no question that many known and unknown challenges remain, we anticipate success in the next few years as we present inspiring exhibits and programs that invite artists and audiences to explore and discover the creativity of others, as well as their own.

Inspired by a basic principle of Creative Placemaking, a sweeping trend in the arts today, we believe “placing artists and art at the center of our planning, execution and activity” is essential in order to engage broader and more diverse audiences, while ensuring the long-term sustainability of WheatonArts.

In our next annual report, and with your support, we look forward to reporting our success over the next few years. Highlights will include: I Emanation: Art + Process, an invitational residency and exhibition project featuring Mark Dion, Paula Hayes, Carolyn Healy and John Phillips, Donald Lipski, Virgil Marti, Michael Oatman, Judy Pfaff, Jocelyne Prince, Rob Wynne, and Mark Zirple. In keeping with the definition of “Emanation,” an abstract but perceptible thing that issues or originates from a source, this exhibition in the Museum of American Glass will feature the work generated by the artists’ studio experience. The highlight of the public program component of Emanation will be a dynamic two-day studio event, titled “The Glass Yard: Object/not,” featuring many of the exhibiting artists as they collaborate with each other, special guest gaffers, and with a select group of emerging artists who are former CGCA Fellows.

The “Glass Yard” event is scheduled for June 13 and 14, 2015 and has been intentionally planned to coincide with GlassWeekend ‘15.

Prosperity Average Annual Budget – $3,066,761 Average Percentage Earned Income – 46% Average Percentage Unearned Income – 54% Total Economic Impact - $7,348,200* FTE Jobs supported by WheatonArts Spending – 228.1* Local Government Revenue Generated – $279,320* State Government Income Generated – $322,252*

I In response to the changing needs of artists due to the economy and the increasing difficulty of leaving jobs, families and studios, in 2015 the Creative Glass Center of America will offer new opportunities to artists. In 2015, a portion of the year will accommodate flexible, short-term and project-based artist residencies. This shift also responds, in part, to the strategic goal of WheatonArts to more fully integrate artist activity with the visitor experience. In addition to traditional residencies, applicants are also encouraged to submit projects that include performance based work, short-term exhibits and installations and use of the Museum of American Glass resources, all of which will increase the public benefit offered.

I Education and community engagement remain a priority in our commitment to serve local residents from diverse and underserved communities. School programs, workshops and other educational events, professional development for teachers and accessible hands-on family programs will continue to be inspired by our mission and related projects.

I Guided by our Strategic Plan, the board and staff have already begun to embark upon more focused planning initiatives, including interpretive planning that will lead to a new intellectual framework for exhibitions and collections. Additionally, the development of a campus master plan, based on a cohesive mission-based story, will allow WheatonArts to host artists and visitors in a more engaging, efficient and artful institution.
