THESE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ARE ALSO ENDORSED BY THE AMERICAN ALLIANCE OF MUSEUMS AND THE ASSOCIATION OF ART MUSEUM DIRECTORS (AAMD), OF WHICH ORGANIZATIONS THE MUSEUM IS A MEMBER. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES MISSION AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART WAS FOUNDED ON APRIL 13, 1870, WITH A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE THAT HAS GUIDED IT FOR OVER 150 YEARS: "TO BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING IN SAID CITY A MUSEUM AND LIBRARY OF ART, OF ENCOURAGING AND DEVELOPING THE STUDY OF THE FINE ARTS, AND THE APPLICATION OF ARTS TO MANUFACTURE AND PRACTICAL LIFE, OF ADVANCING THE GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF KINDRED SUBJECTS, AND, TO THAT END, OF FURNISHING POPULAR INSTRUCTION." THE MET IS DEVOTED TO A UNIVERSAL COLLECTION OF ART IN THE SERVICE OF THE PUBLIC. DURING THE 2022 STRATEGIC-PLANNING PROCESS, THE NEED FOR AN UPDATED, MORE INCLUSIVE AND WELCOMING MISSION STATEMENT WITH A MORE TIGHTLY ARTICULATED EXPRESSION OF THAT PURPOSE BECAME APPARENT. TO THAT END, ON MAY 10, 2022, THE TRUSTEES OF THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART REAFFIRMED THE ABOVE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND SUPPLEMENTED IT WITH THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF MISSION: "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART COLLECTS, STUDIES, CONSERVES, AND PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT WORKS OF ART ACROSS TIME AND CULTURES IN ORDER TO CONNECT ALL PEOPLE TO CREATIVITY, KNOWLEDGE, IDEAS, AND ONE ANOTHER." FOR THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, FISCAL YEAR 2023 WAS A YEAR OF BUILDING ACROSS DISCIPLINES, DEEPENING OUR ENGAGEMENT AS A UNIVERSAL MUSEUM IN SERVICE TO THE WORLD, AND TRANSITIONING TO A NEW LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE, FOLLOWING THE RETIREMENT OF THE MUSEUM'S LAST PRESIDENT AND CEO AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, ON JUNE 30, 2023. IN JANUARY 2023, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES DETERMINED THAT THE STRUCTURE THAT WOULD BEST ENSURE STRONG LEADERSHIP THROUGH INEVITABLE CHALLENGES AND THE ADVANCEMENT OF TIMELY NEW INITIATIVES WOULD BE ONE WITH THE DIRECTOR ADDING CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER TO THE TITLE, WHILE ADDING THE NEWLY CREATED POSITION OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, REPORTING TO THE DIRECTOR. IN THIS CONTEXT, THE MET MADE CONTINUED PROGRESS THIS YEAR ON THE MUSEUM'S MAIN PRIORITIES AS OUTLINED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WE APPROVED IN MAY OF FISCAL YEAR 2022, WHILE DELIVERING A YEAR OF EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAMMING ACROSS ALL OF OUR PLATFORMS - IN THE GALLERIES, THROUGH A SLATE OF MUCH-ANTICIPATED EXHIBITIONS AND NEW PRESENTATIONS OF OUR VAST COLLECTION; ONLINE, THROUGH INNOVATIVE AND ROBUST DIGITAL OFFERINGS; AND OUT IN THE WORLD, THROUGH REQUESTS FOR OUR DEEP EXPERTISE AND ENGAGEMENT IN A RANGE OF CULTURAL TOPICS AS WELL AS TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. WE FURTHER STRENGTHENED OUR OPERATIONS AND FINANCES, INCLUDING ONGOING FUNDRAISING EFFORTS, SO THAT THE MUSEUM HAS A STRONG FOUNDATION TO SUPPORT ITS PEOPLE AND ITS PROGRAM AS WE ADAPT TO A MORE STABLE MOMENT IN THE ONGOING POST-PANDEMIC ENVIRONMENT. WE MADE STEADY AND SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARD REGAINING THE HIGH VISITOR LEVELS WE EXPERIENCED PRE-COVID, AND OUR MAJOR, TRANSFORMATIVE CAPITAL PROJECTS ARE ALL ON SCHEDULE. THE GALLERIES DEDICATED TO EUROPEAN PAINTINGS FROM 1300 TO 1800 WILL REOPEN FULLY IN NOVEMBER 2023, WHILE THREE OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS - THE MICHAEL C. ROCKEFELLER WING, WHICH PRESENTS OUR COLLECTIONS OF THE ART OF SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, OCEANIA, AND THE ANCIENT AMERICAS; THE ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN AND CYPRIOT ART GALLERIES; AND THE OSCAR L. TANG AND H.M. AGNES HSU-TANG WING, WHICH WILL SHOWCASE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART - ARE IN EARLIER PHASES. ANOTHER KEY PRIORITY THIS YEAR WAS OUR WORK TO ENHANCE THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE, BOTH ON-SITE AND BEYOND, AS WE EVOLVE TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND GLOBAL AUDIENCES. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO FOCUS ON OUR EFFORTS TO MAKE THE MUSEUM A MORE INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE AND INTRODUCED A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES, INCLUDING DEPARTMENT-LEVEL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW OUR CORE VALUES OF RESPECT, INCLUSIVITY, COLLABORATION, EXCELLENCE, AND INTEGRITY CAN HELP STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY AND INCORPORATING OUR VALUES INTO THE RECRUITING PROCESS. MANY DEPARTMENTS ARE STILL FEELING THE EFFECTS OF LOWER STAFFING LEVELS, AND WHILE OUR WORK IN THIS AREA ISN'T FINISHED, WE MADE NOTABLE PROGRESS THIS YEAR IN FILLING POSITIONS AND HIRING NEW STAFF. AS WE LOOK AHEAD, THE MET IS IN A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION, AND WE ARE HEARTENED THAT VISITATION NUMBERS HAVE BEEN HIGHER THAN OUR ESTIMATES. OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, WE WILL PRIORITIZE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS TO IMPROVE OUR WORKPLACE, ENHANCE THE OVERALL VISITOR EXPERIENCE, AND SUPPORT OUR INFRASTRUCTURE. AS ALWAYS, WE BALANCE OUR FINANCES AND OPERATIONS AGAINST MANY EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT MAY IMPACT US, BUT WE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR CONTINUED RECOVERY AND STRENGTH AS A PREEMINENT CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN SERVICE TO THE WORLD. ON-SITE ATTENDANCE IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, THE MUSEUM CONTINUED LAST YEAR'S VISITATION TRENDS, MAKING STEADY PROGRESS TOWARD REGAINING THE HIGH VISITOR LEVELS IT EXPERIENCED PRE-COVID, WHEN THE MET SAW RECORD ANNUAL ATTENDANCE IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, WITH OVER 5.3 MILLION TICKETED VISITORS (AT THE MET FIFTH AVENUE AND THE MET CLOISTERS). IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, AFTER CLOSING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WE WELCOMED 1.2 MILLION TICKETED VISITORS, FOLLOWED BY 2.9 MILLION TICKETED VISITORS IN FISCAL YEAR 2022. THIS YEAR, MUSEUM ATTENDANCE EXPERIENCED FURTHER RECOVERY TO 3.9 MILLION TICKETED VISITORS (INCLUDING 0.2 MILLION AT THE MET CLOISTERS). THE MET HISTORICALLY IS ONE OF NEW YORK'S MOST VISITED TOURIST ATTRACTIONS FOR DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES, AND IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, VISITOR CATEGORIES - INTERNATIONAL, DOMESTIC, TRI-STATE, AND LOCAL - CONTINUED LAST YEAR'S TREND TOWARD PRE-PANDEMIC PROPORTIONS, WITH A NOTABLE INCREASE IN INTERNATIONAL TOURISM. THIS YEAR, LOCAL VISITORS MADE UP 44 PERCENT OF OUR ATTENDANCE, COMPARED TO 39 PERCENT PRE-COVID AND 42 PERCENT LAST YEAR; TRISTATE VISITORS, FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, MADE UP 13 PERCENT, COMPARED TO 11 PERCENT PRE-COVID; DOMESTIC VISITORS (OUTSIDE THE TRISTATE AREA) FELL SLIGHTLY FROM 32 PERCENT TO 26 PERCENT LAST YEAR, STILL HIGHER THAN THE 22 PERCENT PRE-COVID; AND INTERNATIONAL VISITORS INCREASED TO 17 PERCENT FROM 13 PERCENT LAST YEAR, COMPARED TO 28 PERCENT PRE-COVID. THE THOMAS J. WATSON LIBRARY SAW 13,234 VISITS BY OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS IN FISCAL YEAR 2023 AND REGISTERED 2,481 NEW OUTSIDE RESEARCHERS. THE MUSEUM LIBRARIES CIRCULATED 62,774 ITEMS TO READERS AND CONTINUED TO DIGITIZE RARE COLLECTION MATERIALS, BOTH PRINTED AND MANUSCRIPT, AND TO MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ONLINE, AVERAGING 175,322 HITS PER MONTH. COLLECTION AND ACQUISITIONS THE DEPTH AND BREADTH OF THE MET COLLECTION IS WHAT ALLOWS THE MUSEUM TO PRESENT AND SHARE WORKS WITH A GLOBAL AUDIENCE AND TELL MEANINGFUL STORIES ABOUT THEM. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, KEY ACQUISITIONS INCLUDED: FOR THE AMERICAN WING, AN EXTRAORDINARY THREE-PART WINDOW DESIGNED BY AGNES NORTHROP (1857-1953) AND MADE AT TIFFANY STUDIOS FOR LINDEN HALL IN 1912; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE CELLO, CALLED THE "AMARYILLIS FLEMING" CELLO, MADE IN 1610-1615 BY THE BROTHERS AMATI, WHOSE FAMILY ESTABLISHED CREMONA, ITALY, AS THE PREMIERE CENTER OF VIOLIN MAKING AND DEVELOPED THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE VIOLIN FAMILY AS WE RECOGNIZE THEM TODAY; FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN PAINTINGS, A RARE WORK BY A 17TH-CENTURY WOMAN ARTIST, RACHEL RUYSCH (1664-1750), TITLED RACHEL RUYSCH AT WORK, FROM 1692, A COLLABORATION WITH THE PORTRAITIST MICHIEL VAN MUSSCHER (1645-1705); FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EUROPEAN SCULPTURE AND DECORATIVE ARTS, A SUMPTUOUS-LOOKING STRONGBOX FROM 1750, AN EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF BERLIN ROCOCO STYLE, AN INTERPRETATION OF THE ROCOCO THAT WAS TAILORED TO THE TASTE OF FREDERICK THE GREAT, KING OF PRUSSIA (R. 1740-1786); FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ASIAN ART, A DAZZLING, LATE 1850S HANGING SCROLL, THE HELL COURTESAN, BY THE JAPANESE ARTIST UTAGAWA KUNISADA II (1615-1868); AND FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART, A WORK BY ED CLARK (1926-2019), A KEY ARTIST OF THE GENERATION AFTER THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISTS, TITLED UNTITLED, FROM 1966. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES THE MET COLLECTION, CULTURAL PROPERTY, AND UPCOMING INITIATIVES THE MET HAS A VAST AND EVER-EVOLVING COLLECTION OF MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION OBJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED THROUGHOUT OUR 153-YEAR HISTORY. THE COLLECTION SPANS MORE THAN 5,000 YEARS OF ART HISTORY FROM AROUND THE GLOBE - FROM ANCIENT TO CONTEMPORARY TIMES - MAKING THE MET A TRULY UNIVERSAL MUSEUM. AS SUCH, WE STEWARD IMPORTANT RESOURCES OF WORLD HERITAGE, AND AS MUSEUM COLLECTIONS ARE COMING UNDER INCREASINGLY INTENSE SCRUTINY, WE WELCOME THE GROWING ENGAGEMENT OF THE PUBLIC IN OUR CRITICAL LONG-TERM WORK AS A PUBLIC-SERVING INSTITUTION. WE STRIVE TO RESPOND TO ALL QUERIES WHILE BALANCING OUR RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE WORKS IN OUR COLLECTION, TO THE MANY AND VARIED COMMUNITIES AFFILIATED WITH THEM, TO THEIR PHYSICAL CARE, AND TO SCHOLARLY INVESTIGATION. AS A PREEMINENT VOICE IN THE GLOBAL ART COMMUNITY, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON THE MET TO ENGAGE MORE INTENSIVELY AND PROACTIVELY IN EXAMINING CERTAIN AREAS OF OUR COLLECTION AND TO INCREASE THE RESOURCES WE DEDICATE TO THIS ONGOING CRUCIAL WORK. THIS PROCESS, INCLUDING SEVERAL NEW INITIATIVES ARTICULATED IN MAY 2023 AND DESCRIBED BELOW, WILL BUILD ON DECADES OF RESEARCH, AND IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE ALLOW WHATEVER TIME IS NECESSARY FOR THIS URGENT WORK TO BE COMPLETED. THE MUSEUM HAS PARTNERED WITH GOVERNMENTS AND INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE GLOBE FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, AND IN RECENT DECADES HAS RESTITUTED OBJECTS TO EGYPT, GREECE, ITALY, NIGERIA, AND TURKEY, AND WE CONTINUE TO RETURN OBJECTS TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN BASED ON RESEARCH AND CAREFUL STUDY, AS WE DID IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEPAL IN THE FIRST MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2023. IN MAY 2023 WE ANNOUNCED A NEW COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE REPUBLIC OF ITALY, SICILIAN REGION, THAT PROVIDES FOR LONG-TERM LOANS OF ANCIENT MASTERPIECES TO THE MUSEUM AND THE EXCHANGE OF THREE-YEAR LOANS BETWEEN THE MET AND THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL REGIONAL MUSEUM "ANTONINO SALINAS" OF PALERMO. THREE VALUES DRIVE OUR COLLECTING ACTIVITIES TODAY: RESEARCH, TRANSPARENCY, AND COLLABORATION. KEY TO OUR PROGRESS IN EACH OF THOSE AREAS IS THE PIONEERING WORK WE'VE DONE TO MAKE THE MET COLLECTION - AND KNOWN OWNERSHIP HISTORY FOR OUR WORKS OF ART - READILY AVAILABLE ON THE MUSEUM'S WEBSITE. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE LAUNCHED A NEW SECTION ON THE WEBSITE WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN FIND A RICH ARRAY OF INFORMATION AND RESOURCES ON THE MET'S COLLECTING PRACTICES AND PROVENANCE RESEARCH, AND IN MAY WE LAID OUT FOUR INITIATIVES FOR THE PATH AHEAD THAT ALLOW US TO BE BOTH RESPONSIVE AND PROACTIVE IN A COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT THAT REQUIRES THAT WE BE DILIGENT, THOUGHTFUL, AND FAIR. THE FOUR INITIATIVES ARE: 1) BROADEN, EXPEDITE, AND INTENSIFY OUR RESEARCH INTO ALL WORKS THAT CAME TO THE MUSEUM FROM ART COLLECTORS AND DEALERS WHO HAVE BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION; 2) HIRE A HEAD OF PROVENANCE RESEARCH, REPORTING TO THE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE, WHO WILL COORDINATE ON-GOING PROVENANCE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES IN ALL CURATORIAL AREAS, ALONG WITH THREE ADDITIONAL PROVENANCE RESEARCHERS TO BUILD UPON THE WORK ALREADY UNDERWAY; 3) MAKE AN EXPANDED CONTRIBUTION TO THE PUBLIC DISCOURSE ON CULTURAL PROPERTY, INCLUDING CONVENING THOUGHT LEADERS, ADVOCATES, AND OPINION MAKERS IN THE AREA OF CULTURAL PROPERTY BOTH WITHIN THE MUSEUM AND OUTSIDE; AND 4) FACILITATE COUNSEL FROM BOTH STAFF AND MET TRUSTEES BY FORMING A STAFF COMMITTEE OF 18 CURATORS, CONSERVATORS, AND OTHERS FROM RELEVANT DEPARTMENTS TO CONSIDER OUR POLICIES AND PRACTICES IN THESE AREAS AND A BOARD TASK FORCE WITH THE MANDATE OF OFFERING THEIR EXPERIENCE AND COUNSEL ON COLLECTING ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING LEGAL AND PUBLIC POLICY. THESE INITIATIVES WILL MAKE THE MET AN EVEN STRONGER INSTITUTION AND A MORE POWERFUL VOICE WITHIN THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY. EXHIBITIONS AND PUBLICATIONS THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITION TEAM MOUNTED 38 EXHIBITIONS AND INSTALLATIONS IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, RANGING FROM SMALL COLLECTION-FOCUSED PRESENTATIONS TO MAJOR INTERNATIONAL LOAN SHOWS, INCLUDING A NEWLY DEFINED CATEGORY - SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS.

THE PUBLICATIONS AND EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT SAW EXCELLENT RECOVERY IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, WITH A PRE-PANDEMIC-LEVEL OUTPUT OF 21 NEW TITLES AND SEVERAL REPRINTS. AMONG THESE WERE 12 EXHIBITION CATALOGUES, NOTABLY INCLUDING THE HIGHLY ACCLAIMED SURREALISM BEYOND BORDERS; INSPIRING WALT DISNEY, WHICH WENT INTO TWO PRINTINGS; AND WINSLOW HOMER: CROSSCURRENTS. THE DEPARTMENT ALSO PUBLISHED THE LONG-AWAITED COLLECTION CATALOGUE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE AND BAROQUE BRONZES IN THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, AVAILABLE AS A FREE DIGITAL PUBLICATION THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT'S ONLINE PLATFORM, METPUBLICATIONS, WHICH NOW PROVIDES FREE REMOTE ACCESS TO OVER 1,700 MET BOOKS AND ARTICLES. AND WE RELEASED THE ANNUAL METROPOLITAN MUSEUM JOURNAL AND FOUR ISSUES OF THE BULLETIN, INCLUDING BEFORE YESTERDAY WE COULD FLY: AN AFROFUTURIST PERIOD ROOM, WHICH FEATURED THE MUSEUM'S FIRST SPECIALLY COMMISSIONED GRAPHIC NOVEL. EDUCATION THE MUSEUM'S EDUCATION DEPARTMENT PRESENTED 40 PERCENT MORE ON-SITE EVENTS THIS FISCAL YEAR, COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2022, INDICATING A WELCOME SHIFT TO NORMALCY POST-PANDEMIC. IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, A TOTAL OF 397,078 VISITORS ATTENDED 17,467 ONSITE EVENTS, AT BOTH THE MET FIFTH AVENUE AND THE MET CLOISTERS, WHILE 600,464 WORLDWIDE ENGAGED VIRTUALLY IN HYBRID EVENTS AS WELL AS 187 EXCLUSIVELY ONLINE ONES. THE MET'S LARGE-SCALE ANNUAL EVENTS - INCLUDING THE LUNAR NEW YEAR FESTIVAL (LAST HELD IN 2020), WORLD CULTURE FEST, GARDEN DAY AT THE MET CLOISTERS, AND MUSEUM MILE FESTIVAL - PROVIDED COMMUNITY AMONG OUR MANY AUDIENCES WISHING TO GATHER AGAIN, DRAWING MORE THAN 40,000 PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES FOR A HOST OF ACTIVITIES, PERFORMANCES, AND OTHER ART EXPERIENCES. THE MUSEUM IS COMMITTED TO SERVING AS A CULTURAL AND SOCIAL HUB FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH A LONG-TERM GOAL OF FOSTERING FUTURE VISITORS, PARTNERS, AND SUPPORTERS. THIS YEAR WE WELCOMED A RECORD 5,342 TEENS TO THE ANNUAL SPRING MUSEUM-WIDE TEENS TAKE THE MET! EVENT FOR AN EVENING OF PERFORMANCES, ART-MAKING ACTIVITIES, AND MORE. WE ALSO LAUNCHED TEEN FRIDAYS, A TWICE-MONTHLY DROP-IN PROGRAM, WHICH DREW MORE THAN 600 TEENS TO ENGAGE IN CREATIVE ACTIVITIES AND EXHIBITIONS WITH THEIR PEERS. FAMILIES WITH YOUNGER CHILDREN TOOK ADVANTAGE OF PAID ART-MAKING AND ART-EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THREE SEMESTERS OF CHILDREN'S CLASSES AND AN EXPANSION OF OUR CAMP PROGRAM TO FOUR WEEKLONG SPRING AND SUMMER SESSIONS. THIS AUDIENCE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN FREE MULTIGENERATIONAL PROGRAMS ENGAGING MORE THAN 7,000. FORM 990, PART III - PROGRAM SERVICES BUILDING AND SUSTAINING RELATIONSHIPS WITH NEW YORK CITY'S MANY AND VARIED COMMUNITIES IS A KEY DEPARTMENTAL GOAL. IN CONTINUED SUPPORT OF OLDER ADULTS, WE DISTRIBUTED NEW THEMATIC YOUR MET ART BOX PACKAGES BASED ON THE MET COLLECTION TO HUNDREDS OF SENIOR RECIPIENTS ACROSS ALL FIVE BOROUGHS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NYC AGING AND OLDER ADULT CENTERS CITYWIDE. WE ALSO INTRODUCED BIMONTHLY, IN-PERSON MET MEMORY CAFES FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA AND THEIR CARE PARTNERS TO SOCIALIZE AND ENGAGE IN ART EXPLORATION AND ART MAKING OVER REFRESHMENTS. IN A LONGSTANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FILOMEN M. D'AGOSTINO GREENBERG MUSIC SCHOOL FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES WITH VISION LOSS, AFTER A FIVE-YEAR HIATUS, WE HOSTED THE 22ND FIL AT THE MET CONCERT IN GRACE RAINEY ROGERS AUDITORIUM, WHERE AN AUDIENCE OF 400 ENJOYED MUSIC AND SOUNDSCAPES INSPIRED BY THOMAS HART BENTON'S MURAL CYCLE AMERICA TODAY IN THE MET COLLECTION. AND AT THE MET CLOISTERS, NEW PROGRAMMING INITIATIVES DEEPENED ENGAGEMENT AND ENCOURAGED REPEAT VISITATION WITH CORE, EXISTING AUDIENCES. WE DEVELOPED RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR UPPER MANHATTAN NEIGHBORS THROUGH COMMUNITY OUTREACH, STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, AND AN ARRAY OF ONSITE AND OFFSITE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES FOR ADULTS, TEENS, AND FAMILIES, SUCH AS A FAMILY AFTERNOON RELATED TO THE EXHIBITION RICH MAN, POOR MAN: ART, CLASS, AND COMMERCE IN A LATE MEDIEVAL TOWN, WHICH ATTRACTED MORE THAN 500 INTERGENERATIONAL PARTICIPANTS.
