RESPONDING TO THE ANNUAL CYCLE OF DEATH AND REBIRTH WYETH BLENDED CAREFULLY OBSERVED DETAILS WITH HIS IMAGINATION AND MEMORY. MANY OF THE RESULTING PAINTINGS OF STORMS, WET LEAVES, AND PECULIAR FIGURES BECAME INFUSED WITH AN EERINESS THAT CAN LEAVE VIEWERS UNSETTLED AND QUESTIONING. "OFTENTIMES PEOPLE WILL LIKE A PICTURE I PAINT BECAUSE IT'S MAYBE THE SUN HITTING ON THE SIDE OF A WINDOW AND THEY CAN ENJOY IT PURELY FOR ITSELF. IT REMINDS THEM OF SOME AFTERNOON. BUT FOR ME, BEHIND THAT PICTURE COULD BE A NIGHT OF MOONLIGHT WHEN I'VE BEEN IN SOME HOUSE IN MAINE, A NIGHT OF SOME TERRIBLE TENSION, OR I HAD THIS STRANGE MOOD. MAYBE IT WAS HALLOWEEN. IT'S ALL THERE, HIDING BEHIND THE REALISTIC SIDE." (P. 205, UNKNOWN TERRAIN)THE DRAMA AND EXCITEMENT OF HALLOWEEN EXHILARATED WYETH WHO REVELED IN THE SCARECROWS, PUMPKINS, COSTUMES, AND PRANKS OF THE NIGHT WHEN SPIRITS OF THE DEAD CAN SUPPOSEDLY MINGLE WITH THE LIVING. EQUALLY ATTRACTED TO THE FICTITIOUS DR. JEKYLL AND DRACULA AS TO THE ACTUAL GRUESOME HISTORY OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLES THAT OCCURRED IN HIS OWN PENNSYLVANIA BACKYARD, WYETH COMBINED REALITY AND FANTASY IN HIS PAINTINGS.KATHARINE COBEY: A DIFFERENCE VOICEROTHSCHILD GALLERYOCT. 5, 2019- APRIL 12, 2020 KATHARINE COBEY'S WORDS COME FROM HER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CERTAIN MATERIALS SUGGEST AS CARRIERS OF IDEAS. FOR HER, WRITING POETRY WAS AN EARLY MEANS TO EXPRESSION. CURRENTLY, KNITTING IS HER CREATIVE PATHWAY, A MIND-TO-HAND WORK THAT SHE ADAPTED FOR UNUSUAL MATERIALS AS A MEANS OF CONSTRUCTING THREE-DIMENSIONAL FORMS. BASIC GESTURES OF KNITTING, UNCOMPLICATED KNIT AND PURL STITCHES ARE THE ESSENTIAL ALPHABET, THE BUILDING BLOCKS THAT GIVE SHAPE TO COBEY'S MATERIALS AND IDEAS.TRANSFORMING THE ORDINARY: WOMEN IN AMERICAN BOOK COVER DESIGNFEBRUARY 8, 2020-MARCH 21, 2021 LIBRARY GALLERY ELIOT PORTER: ALL THE WILD PLACESFEBRUARY 29, 2020 THROUGH JANUARY 3, 2021 CROSMAN GALLERYANDREW WYETH: A MAINE LEGACY FEBRUARY 22, 2020-JANUARY 9, 2021WYETH STUDY CENTER GALLERYANDREW WYETH: A MAINE LEGACYMARCH 14, 2020-FEBRUARY 28, 2021 HADLOCK GALLERYA HOME IN NEW ENGLAND, MAY 16, 2020-MARCH 21, 2021 ROTHSCHILD GALLERYANDREW WYETH: WITCHES, GHOSTS, AND MISCHIEF SEPT 21, 2019-APRIL 12, 2020HADLOCK GALLERYANDREW WYETH: WORLD WAR IMARCH 23 LATE 2020WYETH STUDY CENTER GALLERYSLAB CITY RENDEZVOUSAPRIL 13, 2019 MARCH 15, 2020CROSMAN GALLERYKATHARINE COBEY: A DIFFERENCE VOICEROTHSCHILD GALLERYOCT. 5, 2019- APRIL 12, 2020 621498 25116 EDUCATION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS - SEE SCHEDULE O EDUCATION PROGRAM ACCOMPLISHMENTSFISCAL YEAR 2020 WAS A TALE OF TWO DIFFERENT STRATEGIES. FROM OCTOBER 2019 TO MARCH 2020, THE FARNSWORTH'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS CONTINUED TO BUILD UPON THEIR EXPERIENCE. THE ARTS IN EDUCATION PROGRAM CONTINUED TO ENGAGE HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS, THE STORIES EXHIBITION WHICH FEATURED THE WORK OF FOURTH AND SEVENTH GRADERS, HUNG IN THE MUSEUM'S MAIN BUILDING AND ENTHRALLED VISITORS, TOURS CONTINUED, AND THE PUBLIC WAS ENCOURAGED TO INTERACT WITH THE MUSEUM BOTH ONLINE AND IN PERSON THROUGH ITS PROGRAMS. AS WE ALL KNOW, THIS CAME TO A SCREECHING HALT IN MID-MARCH. ON MARCH 16TH, LOCAL SCHOOLS SHUT THEIR DOORS AND BEGAN TO TRANSITION TO REMOTE LEARNING; THE MUSEUM'S INQUIRY BASED LEARNING PROGRAM SWITCHED TO AN ONLINE PLATFORM AS WELL. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE ARTS IN EDUCATION PROGRAM STAFF NIMBLY MOVED TO SUPPORTING EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS VIA ZOOM CONSULTATIONS, LESSON PLANNING COLLABORATIONS, AND TELECONFERENCING. DOCENTS PROVIDED CONTENT FOR VIDEO TOURS WHEN THE MUSEUM REOPENED ITS DOORS IN LATE JUNE, AND PROGRAMMING BECAME VIRTUAL OVERNIGHT. AS THE PANDEMIC CONTINUED THROUGH THE SUMMER, ONLINE PROGRAMMING TOOK CENTER STAGE. CONTENT OFFERED VIA THE FARNSWORTH WEBSITE EXPANDED, AND WITH THE ADDITION OF A "GREEN ROOM", PROGRAMS BECAME FAR MORE PROFESSIONAL. IN SEPTEMBER, THE ARTS IN EDUCATION PROGRAM PLACED ITS 2020-2021 EXHIBITION ON HOLD AND IS OPERATING FROM A POSITION OF SERVICE TO SUPPORT OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND PARTNERING EDUCATORS DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. THEY CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ONLINE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES FOR ALL STUDENTS.THE STUDIO ARTS PROGRAMS AND LECTURE SERIES HAS GROWN AND FLOURISHED DURING WHAT MANY ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CONSIDERED DOWNTIME. ONLINE CONTENT HAS EXPANDED WITH ART CANNOT BE CONTAINED, AN ELECTRONIC NEWSLETTER THAT IS DISTRIBUTED ON A WEEKLY BASIS TO THOUSANDS OF HOUSEHOLDS. INTERACTIVE PROGRAMMING INCLUDES VISUAL THINKING STRATEGIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND A COLLABORATION WITH A LOCAL THEATRE GROUP FOR A FEATURE CALLED THE PAINTING SPEAKS. STUDIO CLASSES FOR ADULTS HAVE TRANSFORMED AND GEOGRAPHICALLY EXPANDED DURING THE PANDEMIC. THESE CLASSES HAVE ENCOURAGED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH AND INTERESTED IN WHAT THE MUSEUM HAS TO OFFER, BUT RESIDE OUTSIDE THE IMMEDIATE AREA. THROUGH THE INTERNET, THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASSES THAT THEY WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE ABLE TO ATTEND. REMOTE PROGRAMS OFFERED DURING SUMMER/FALL 2020 INCLUDED FIELD SKETCHING, WATERCOLOR, POETRY, VISUAL THINKING STRATEGIES, AND GRAPHITE DRAWING. LECTURE PROGRAMS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE OFFERED TO AN ENTHUSIASTIC POPULATION AND SPECIAL GALLERY TOURS HAVE CONTINUED. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2020, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT WAS ABLE TO HOST AN INTERN WHO WORKED REMOTELY AND ASSISTED WITH PROGRAMS AS WELL AS UTILIZING HER TECHNOLOGICAL AND ADADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS. DURING FY 2020, THE MUSEUM HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS ABILITY TO ADJUST ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING TO BUILD CONTENT AND CONNECT WITH BOTH ON SITE AND VIRTUAL AUDIENCES. STAFF HAS UTILIZED TECHNOLOGY TO FORTIFY ITS INFRASTRUCTURE, POSTING YEARS OF CONTENT ONLINE, AND CONTINUES TO OFFER MUSEUM LEVEL RESOURCES TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THIS OPPORTUNITY TO HIT A "RESET BUTTON" WILL CONTINUE TO ASSIST EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING WELL INTO THE FUTURE. 419533 MUSEUM STORE 3010131 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 52 0 1 75 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X NEDRA BELLOWS 2075966457 356 MAIN STREET ROCKLAND ME 04841 GERRY ISOM PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ED WALLER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 VICTORIA GOLDSTEIN 2ND VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RON STERN SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GREG KNOWLTON TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 ALLA BROCKSMIT TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEPHANIE L BROWN TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAULA CARREIRO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 DICK COSTELLO TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SYLVIA A DE LEON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 VICTORIA CLARK DIBNER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LISA GARRISON TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CONNIE HAYES TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JEAN KISLAK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT E KULP TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS RENYI TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN SCHREIBER TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 KENNETH SHURE TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAMES P SMITH JR TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 SUSAN ALLEN THOMAS TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA WACK TRUSTEE 1.00 X 0 0 0 CHRIS BROWNAWELL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 39.00 1.00 X 252632 0 13607 MICHAEL KOMANECKY CURATOR 40.00 X 111152 0 5026 363784 0 18633 2 0 1 0 0 225289 25000 411100 2839159 951187 3500548 ADMISSIONS 611710 191571 191571 FEES FOR ART CLASSES 611610 25116 25116 216687 567420 -3493 570913 2188849 2424190 -235341 -235341 -235341 278533 138751 139782 139782 OTHER REVENUE 900099 18439 18439 18439 4207535 235126 -3493 475354 266239 186367 79872 1884638 1421139 107002 356497 170037 116254 24907 28876 166922 105379 31530 30013 50552 50552 233103 16453 33484 183166 88140 35233 33396 19511 272201 236815 29942 5444 16323 12849 122 3352 5709 5709 75366 59003 11583 4780 102579 83140 18505 934 LEASE AND RENTAL 517650 448613 58872 10165 OTHER SERVICES 105347 83804 19642 1901 MAINTENANCE 102097 97187 2676 2234 SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS 94672 66175 10655 17842 378342 228087 72333 77922 4529917 3010131 646725 873061 113252 496196 2172238 1948592 13937 6765 7428935 7428935 253153 314396 102630 78053 653500 308618 360248 344882 13971319 15111928 6904071 6982166 244390 187689 31564173 32899602 1602634 1810080 959 1597 356730 381523 1960323 2193200 X 7082744 6961204 22521106 23745198 29603850 30706402 31564173 32899602 X -322382 1413712 11222 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1961782 1965817 6394993 3008922 3089448 16420962 1961782 1965817 6394993 3008922 3089448 16420962 2752531 13668431 532082 540284 509823 580585 567420 2730194 118089 74954 136340 16713 18438 364534 19515690 3318988 0.70040 0.59970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X 0 20875393 346364 1795712 923369 22094094 20027995 1332100 411833 896535 20875393 18810973 519870 1206260 509108 20027995 17903355 11397 1536640 640419 18810973 17652081 650 849280 598656 17903355 0.05000 0.95000 0.00000 1 0 252746 59550 193196 400754 249068 151686 344882 LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS 137719 F PERPETUAL TRUST HELD BY OTHERS 6844447 F 6982166 5884295 1413712 263048 1676760 4207535 0 4207535 4781743 251826 251826 4529917 0 4529917 PART III, LINE 1A: THE VALUE OF THE LIBRARY AND ART COLLECTIONS HELD BY THE MUSEUM IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
