PROCEEDS FROM THE SALES OF COLLECTION ITEMS ARE USED TO ACQUIRE OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COLLECTION. STEWARDSHIP POLICIES INCLUDE WRITTEN PROCEDURES FOR ACCESSION OF ART, DEACCESSION OF ART, ART ON LOAN TO THE MUSEUM, AND ART ON LOAN FROM THE MUSEUM. THE POLICIES ALSO INCLUDE PROCEDURES FOR THE CARE OF THE COLLECTION, SUCH AS PRESERVATION, SAFETY AND SECURITY, INSTALLATION, AND PACKAGING AND SHIPPING. THE POLICIES DETAIL THE PROCEDURES FOR INVENTORYING THE COLLECTION, INCLUDING LABELING, MONITORING, RECORDKEEPING AND RECORD RECONCILIATION, ACCESS REPRODUCTION, AND INSURANCE. THE MUSEUM TRACKS THE COLLECTION AT ORIGINAL PURCHASED OR DONATED VALUE AND USES A MUTUALLY AGREED-UPON VALUE FOR LOANED ITEMS AS A WHOLE FOR PURPOSES OF ADEQUATE INSURANCE COVERAGE. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM'S FACILITY IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE COLLECTION FROM DAMAGE. PART III, LINE 4: THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION CONTAINS OVER 5000 CATALOGUES ITEMS INCLUDING PAINTINGS, SCULPTURES, PRINTS, SKETCHES, AND ARCHIVAL MATERIAL RELATED TO WILDLIFE AND HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH NATURE. THE COLLECTION IS USED TO EDUCATE EVERYONE FROM GENERAL MUSEUM VISITORS TO RESEARCHERS INTERESTED IN SPECIFIC TOPICS RELATED TO WILDLIFE AND NATURE. PART III, LINE 5: THE MUSEUM DID SOLICIT GIFTS FOR ARTWORK TO BE SOLD. THE SOLICITATIONS WERE MADE ONLY TO ARTISTS FOR DONATIONS OF THEIR OWN ARTWORK. PART V, LINE 4: THE MUSEUM HAS AN ENDOWMENT PORTFOLIO WHOSE PRIMARY OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A LONG-TERM SOURCE OF INCOME (DEFINED AS APPRECIATION AND/OR INCOME) TO BE DISTRIBUTED ANNUALLY IN SUPPORT OF THE MUSEUM'S MISSION AND GOALS. AS A SECONDARY OBJECTIVE, THE MUSEUM'S ENDOWMENT ASSETS AND/OR RESERVE FUNDS. AS REQUIRED BY ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NET ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOWMENT FUNDS, INCLUDING FUNDS DESIGNATED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (THE "BOARD") TO FUNCTION AS ENDOWMENTS, ARE CLASSIFIED AND REPORTED BASED ON THE EXISTENCE OR ABSENCE OF DONOR IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS. PART X, LINE 2: THE MUSEUM IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION AND IS EXEMPT FROM TAX UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3). THE MUSEUM ALSO HAS BEEN DETERMINED NOT TO BE A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A)(1) OF THE IRC, BUT IT IS A PUBLIC CHARITY. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE MUSEUM AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF THE MUSEUM HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS OR OTHER APPLICABLE TAXING AUTHORITIES. MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE MUSEUM AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT, AS OF APRIL 30, 2022, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 THE MISSION OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART IS TO IMPART KNOWLEDGE AND INSPIRE APPRECIATION OF HUMANITY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH WILDLIFE AND NATURE THROUGH ART AND EDUCATION. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A MUSEUM MEMBERSHIP WAS 1,088 AND ANNUAL VISITATION WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,525. THE MUSEUM'S ART COLLECTION CONSISTS OF ALMOST 5,000 CATALOGUED WORKS BY APPROXIMATELY 600 ARTISTS. THE WORK OF THESE ARTISTS REPRESENTS HISTORIC IMAGES AND STYLES WHICH HAVE SHAPED PUBLIC PERCEPTION OF WILDERNESS, WILDLIFE AND THE AMERICAN WEST. ARTISTS REPRESENTED INCLUDE CARL RUNGIUS, GEORGE CATLIN, ARTHUR FITZWILLIAM TAIT, C.M. RUSSELL, ALBERT BIERSTADT, CONRAD SCHWIERING, JOHN CLYMER, BOB KUHN, JOHN JAMES AUDUBON AND GEORGIA O'KEEFE. CAPITALIZING ON THE MUSEUM'S SETTING NEAR THE BIG GAME HABITATS OF GRAND TETON AND YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARKS, THE NMWA COLLECTION IS UTILIZED IN A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. OVER 47 VOLUNTEERS, RANGING IN AGE FROM TEENS TO SENIOR CITIZENS, ASSIST THE MUSEUM STAFF IN ALL FACETS OF THE MUSEUM'S OPERATION. THE "FIRST SUNDAYS" PROGRAM OFFERS FREE ADMISSION TO LOCALS ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, A FREE COMMUNITY PERFORMANCE SERIES IS OFFERED ON THESE DAYS, AS WELL AS HANDS-ON ART PROJECTS FOR CHILDREN IN THE MUSEUM CLASSROOMS. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B UN/NATURAL SELECTIONS: WILDLIFE IN CONTEMPORARY ART MAY 22 AUGUST 22, 2021 VALUED SPECIES: ANIMALS IN THE ART OF ANDY WARHOL AND AI WEIWEI JUNE 5 OCTOBER 3, 2021 WESTERN VISIONS SEPTEMBER 10 OCTOBER 3, 2021 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC: 50 GREATEST ANIMAL PHOTOS NOVEMBER 6, 2021 APRIL 24, 2022 WHILE THEY'RE SLEEPING: A STORY OF BEARS OCTOBER 23, 2021 MAY 15, 2022 NMWA OPENED THE 2021 SEASON WITH UN/NATURAL SELECTIONS: WILDLIFE IN CONTEMPORARY ART, DRAWN ENTIRELY FROM THE MUSEUM'S PERMANENT COLLECTION. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 50 ARTWORKS IN THE EXHIBIT. WE PREMIERED THIS EXHIBIT AS THE FIRST STOP ON A TRAVELING SHOW THAT WILL TOUR ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WITH ONGOING SUPPORT FROM ART BRIDGES. THE TOUR DID NOT BEGIN DIRECTLY AFTER THE EXHIBIT CLOSED IN AUGUST OF 2021 DUE TO THE SCHEDULE CHANGES BECAUSE OF COVID RESTRICTIONS. WE HAD TO REBOOK THE TOUR AND THE 5 STOPS AFTER WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER OF 2022, WITH THE FIRST TOUR STOP BEING AT THE WHATCOM MUSEUM IN BELLINGHAM, WA. WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH ART BRIDGES FOR THIS TOUR AND THEY ARE SUPPORTING THE TRAVELING COSTS, WHICH HAVE GONE UP EXPONENTIALLY SINCE COVID AND BECAUSE OF THE RISING COST OF EVERYTHING. WE ARE ASSURED THAT OUR TRAVELING COSTS WILL BE COVERED BY ART BRIDGES AND BECAUSE OF OUR AGREEMENT WE ARE ONLY CHARGING $5,000 FOR THE RENTAL OF THE SHOW. THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO HAVE OUR NAME RECOGNIZED, WORK WITH OTHER INSTITUTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND PARTNER WITH THE ART BRIDGES FOUNDATION. ART BRIDGES ALSO SUPPLIED US WITH COVID SUPPORT OF OVER $60,000 AND THEY PROVIDED US WITH $17,500 FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE EXHIBIT. WE ALSO CREATED A CATALOGUE THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY ART BRIDGES. THE CATALOGUE HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE NEWER ARTWORKS IN OUR COLLECTION AS A COMPLIMENT TO ADAM HARRIS' BOOK, WILDLIFE IN AMERICAN ART. WE ALSO OPENED VALUED SPECIES: ANIMALS IN THE ART OF ANDY WARHOL AND AI WEIWEI IN JUNE. WE RENTED THE AI WEIWEI LEGO ZODIAC SERIES TO ADD IN COMBINATION WITH THE ANDY WARHOL ENDANGERED SPECIES SERIES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. SINCE BOTH ARTISTS ARE SO WELL KNOWN, THE EXHIBIT WAS WIDELY POPULAR WITH TOURISTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE RENTAL PIECES INTO OCTOBER SINCE WESTERN VISIONS WOULD ONLY BE IN THE BISON AND CHANGING VISIONS GALLERIES. THIS HELPED TO PULL VISITORS INTO THE MUSEUM DURING WESTERN VISIONS. WE ALSO PURCHASED ONE OF THE AI WEIWEI PIECES, THE TIGER, THROUGH COLLECTORS CIRCLE. IT WILL BE PLACED IN THE PERMANENT GALLERIES. WESTERN VISIONS SALE AND EXHIBIT OPENED IN SEPTEMBER AND WITH RESPECT TO PROTOCOL ASSOCIATED WITH COVID WE HAD A LIMITED NUMBER OF GUESTS. THIS WAS TO HELP PREVENT LARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLE FROM GATHERING IN SPACES IN OBSERVANCE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS SET BY THE TOWN OF JACKSON. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ON A SHARED TOURING SHOW TITLED WOLVES: PHOTOGRAPHY BY RONAN DONOVAN, WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR OPENING IN FALL OF 2021; HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID, WOLVES WAS POSTPONED UNTIL FALL OF 2022. THEREFORE, WE NEEDED AN EXHIBITION TO REPLACE WOLVES FOR THIS FALL, AND WE HAD ALREADY CONSIDERED THE EXHIBIT TITLED 50 GREATEST ANIMAL PHOTOS. SINCE THIS EXHIBIT WAS AVAILABLE NAT GEO WAS ABLE TO RENT THIS EXHIBIT TO US QUICKLY AND IT WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED BY OUR PATRONS. BECAUSE WE DO NOT COLLECT PHOTOGRAPHY AND DO NOT REGULARLY FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY, THE PHOTOGRAPHY SHOWS ARE ALWAYS POPULAR. OVER FOUR HUNDRED PEOPLE ATTENDED THE OPENING EVENT AND WE RECEIVED WONDERFUL FEEDBACK ON THE EXHIBITION. THE IDEA FOR WHILE THEY'RE SLEEPING: A STORY OF BEARS CAME FROM THE SUGGESTION OF A BOARD MEMBER TO DO AN EXHIBITION ABOUT JACKSON'S FAVORITE GRIZZLY 399. I HAD SCHEDULED ANOTHER INSTALLMENT OF LIVING LEGENDS, WHICH IS PUT TOGETHER FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION. HOWEVER, I WAS HOPING TO CHANGE THIS UP SINCE WE WERE COMING TO THE POINT WHERE LIVING ARTIST WOULD NEED TO BE REPEATED IN THE EXHIBIT. I PUT FORTH THE IDEA OF DOING AN EXHIBIT ABOUT BEARS FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION, HISTORIC AND CONTEMPORARY TO SHOW HOW BEARS HAVE BEEN VIEWED IN ART FOR A CENTURY AND A HALF. I THEN ADDED THE IDEA THAT WE MIGHT ASK WELL-KNOWN PHOTOGRAPHER TOM MANGELSON IF HE MIGHT LOAN US A FEW OF HIS PHOTOGRAPHS OF 399 (SINCE HE IS PROLIFIC WITH HIS BEAR PHOTOGRAPHY) AS AN ASIDE TO A BEARS EXHIBIT. MAGELSON KINDLY LENT US 7 PHOTOGRAPHS AND HAD THEM PRINTED. WE ONLY HAD TO PAY FOR SHIPPING FROM THE PRINTERS, WHICH WAS MINIMAL. THE EXHIBIT IN THE KING GALLERY WAS CREATED ENTIRELY FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION AND TOM MANGELSON SPOKE AT THE SNEAK-PEEK, WHICH HELPED WITH ATTENDANCE. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN - NMWA TYPICALLY SERVES CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE REGION ANNUALLY, RANGING IN AGE FROM PRE-K TO GRADE 12. THIS YEAR WE SERVED 3,926 CHILDREN IN PERSON AND ANOTHER 112 VIA ZOOM DURING THE '21-'22 FISCAL YEAR. THE NUMBERS WERE UP SIGNIFICANTLY OVER LAST YEAR (2,587 CHILDREN) DUE TO THE LIFTING OF COVID RESTRICTIONS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS. THIS PAST YEAR WE HAVE RESUMED IN-PERSON CONTACTS SIGNIFICANTLY BUT HAVE CONTINUED TO OFFER ON-LINE CLASSES (CHILDREN) AND WEBINARS (ADULTS) SINCE THEY REMAIN POPULAR WITH SOME AUDIENCES. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE USE OUR COLLECTION OF FINE ART TO TEACH A WIDE RANGE OF SUBJECT AREAS COMPATIBLE WITH SCHOOL CURRICULA. PROGRAMS FOR PRE-K THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN ARE FREE, OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, AND ARE OUTLINED ON OUR WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.WILDLIFEART.ORG/LEARN/SCHOOL-PROGRAMS/ OUR ANNUAL STATE OF THE ART: SCHOOL ART SHOW CONTINUED AS AN ANNUAL ON-SITE EVENT, FEB. 26 2022 MAY 29, 2022. APPROXIMATELY 350 WORKS OF ART BY LOCAL CHILDREN GRADES K-12 WERE EXHIBITED. FOR A FIFTH YEAR, LOCAL JACKSON HOLE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN OUR "STUDENT CURATED EXHIBITION". THE SELECTED THEME THIS YEAR WAS THE INFECTIOUS CULTURE OF WYOMING WILDLIFE. THE STUDENTS' ARTISTIC DEPICTIONS OF BACTERIA AND VIRUSES THAT AFFECT WILDLIFE WERE FABULOUS. STUDENT CURATORS LEARNED THE FUNDAMENTALS OF EXHIBIT CURATION INCLUDING SELECTING A THEME, REQUESTING ARTWORK FROM FELLOW STUDENTS, WRITING LABEL TEXT AND HANGING THE EXHIBIT. FABLES, FEATHERS, AND FUR (FFF), IS OUR PROGRAM FOR PRE-K CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE WERE BACK FULL FORCE WITH THIS FRIDAY PROGRAM IN-PERSON. THE PROGRAM INCLUDES AGE APPROPRIATE STORYTELLING AND ART MAKING. LIKEWISE, WE WERE ABLE TO RESUME IN-PERSON COLLABORATIONS WITH TETON SCIENCE SCHOOL (TSS) DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR TO PROVIDE "ART AND SCIENCE" THEMATIC TOURS. PERFORMANCES AND ART MAKING ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN RESUMED ON THE FIRST SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH. OUTREACH PROGRAMS CONTINUED BOTH IN PERSON AND VIA ONLINE PLATFORMS. OUR ONLINE VIDEO OUTREACH PROGRAM CALLED BISONCAST FOR TEENS THROUGH ADULTS CONTINUED TO PROVIDE REMOTE ACCESS TO THE MUSEUM'S ART COLLECTION AND SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT. ONE NEW EDUCATIONAL VIDEO (ABOVE THE CLOUDS) WAS PRODUCED DURING THE PAST FISCAL YEAR. THIS EPISODE FEATURED MOUNTAIN GOAT AND BIGHORN SHEEP THEMED ART FROM OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION PAIRED WITH RELEVANT EXPLORATIONS INTO THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM, SPECIFICALLY GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK. OUR ON-SITE CHILDREN'S GALLERY PROVIDES HANDS-ON INTERACTIVE EXHIBITS FOR CHILDREN. A RANGE OF IN-GALLERY TECHNOLOGY-DRIVEN INTERACTIVES WERE OFFERED INCLUDING A NEW TOUCH-SCREEN INFORMING VISITORS ABOUT ROBERT BATEMAN'S PAINTING PROCESS FOR HIS POPULAR PAINTING OF A BISON, "CHIEF". ANOTHER NEW INTERACTIVE TOUCHSCREEN WAS ADDED TO THE CLYMER STUDIO. VISITORS CAN VIRTUALLY TOUCH AN OBJECT SEEN IN THE STUDIO AND READ ABOUT ITS SIGNIFICANCE. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS WE TYPICALLY SERVE APPROXIMATELY 4,000 ADULTS ANNUALLY WITH OUR "SNEAK PEEK" GALLERY TALKS FOR NEW EXHIBITS, OUR FILMS, LECTURES, AND STUDIO CLASSES. WE ALSO HAVE A RICH ROSTER OF COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ON THE OUTDOOR SCULPTURE TRAIL SUCH AS YOGA ON THE TRAIL AND SUMMER WATERCOLOR WORKSHOPS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE SIX FREE MOBILE TOURS AVAILABLE INCLUDING EXPLORING WILDLIFE ART, RUNGIUS LETTERS, SAVING A SPECIES, SCULPTURE TRAIL, THROUGH HER EYES, AND THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE BOTANICAL TOUR. FOR THE SECOND YEAR WE CONTINUED OUR ONLINE ART MAKING SERIES FOR TEENS AND ADULTS CALLED MAKE IT WILD. WE HOSTED 4 MAKE IT WILD CLASSES AND 4 COLLABORATIVE WEBINARS HOSTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE YELLOWSTONE TO YUKON CONSERVATION INITIATIVE. TWO NEW AUDIO TOURS WERE ADDED INCLUDING ONE CALLED "THROUGH HER EYES" ABOUT WOMAN ARTISTS IN THE PERMANENT COLLECTION AND "GREATER YELLOWSTONE BOTANICAL TOUR" ABOUT NATIVE PLANTS ALSO ALONG THE OUTDOOR SCULPTURE TRAIL. THE LATER TOUR WAS TRANSLATED INTO SPANISH LANGUAGE. WE RAISED ADULT PROGRAM ATTENDANCE TO 4,539 ANNUALLY (3,310 IN PERSON AND 1,229 VIRTUAL) THIS PAST FISCAL YEAR. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION EMBODIES THE BEST EFFORTS OF HISTORIC AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS TO DEPICT WILDLIFE, INCLUDING OVER 5,000 CATALOGED ITEMS SPANNING 4,000 YEARS BY APPROXIMATELY 600 ARTISTS. AS A NATIONAL COLLECTION, IT EMPHASIZES PRIME EXAMPLES OF WORK PRODUCED BY ARTISTS FROM THE NATION ITSELF, WITH A REPRESENTATIVE SELECTION OF SUBJECTS, FORMS, STYLES, MATERIALS, AND MEDIA, SPANNING THE DIVERSITY OF THE NATION'S ARTISTS, THEIR ANTECEDENTS, AND THE TIMES AND PLACES IMPORTANT TO THEIR WORK. THE PRIMARY COLLECTING GOAL FOR THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WILDLIFE ART IS THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION THROUGH STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS RANGING FROM MAJOR ARTWORKS TO SUPPLEMENTAL PIECES, WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE OVERALL QUALITY AS WELL AS DIVERSITY OF THE COLLECTION WHILE ADDING THEMATIC DEPTH AND BREADTH.
