IT'S ACTIVITES-WHICH ARE BOTH MULTI-DISCIPLINARY AND BROADLY HISTORICAL-INCLUDE EXHIBITIONS; SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS; OPEN SESSIONS, A CURATED ARTIST PROGRAM ENCOURAGING COMMUNITY AND COLLABORATION; THE "DRAWING PAPERS" PUBLICATION SERIES; PUBLIC PROGRAMS; AND EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES FOR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITYGROUPS. IT WAS FOUNDED IN 1977 BY CURATOR MARTHA BECK (1938-2014). THE IMPACT ON THE MEDIUM THAT THE DRAWING CENTER HAS HAD OVER THE PAST 40 YEARS IS CLEAR. DRAWING HAS TAKEN ITS PLACE AS A CENTRAL AND RESPECTED ART FORM, WITH INSTITUTIONS AND GALLERIES ACROSS THE GLOBE HOSTING MAJOR EXHIBITIONS THAT CONFIRM ITS ARTISTIC IMPORTANCE AND COMMERCIAL VIABILITY. THIS SHIFT IN THE FIELD HAS ALLOWED THE DRAWING CENTER TO RETHINK ITS MISSION, MOVING AWAY FROM A MORE DEFENSIVE STANCE ABOUT DRAWING-THAT IT IS LEGITIMATE, IMPORTANT, AND VALUABLE-TO A MORE EXPANSIVE AND POSITIVE EXPLORATION OF HOW DRAWING OPERATES IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE. THIS NEW INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH HAS BEEN POPULAR WITH GENERAL AUDIENCES AND THE FIELD IN GENERAL, AND THE DRAWING CENTER IS SEEING INCREASED ANNUAL ATTENDANCE FIGURES AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BROADER BASE OF SUPPORTERS. EVERY YEAR, THE DRAWING CENTER SERVES 20,000+ INDIVIDUALS BOTH ON-SITE AND THROUGH OFF-SITE DRAWING WORKSHOPS. AS A MUSEUM THAT DOES NOT MAINTAIN A COLLECTION, THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE DRAWING CENTER'S PROGRAMMATIC ACTIVITY IS TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS AND LONGER-TERM SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS. THE MUSEUM MOUNTS 10-12 EXHIBITIONS OR INSTALLATIONS ANNUALLY ACROSS ITS THREE GALLERY SPACES MAIN GALLERY; DRAWING ROOM; THE LAB AND TWO INSTALLATION SITES-THE LAB CORRIDOR AND STAIRWELL. OFTEN, THESE EXHIBITIONS TRAVEL ON TO DIFFERENT NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL VENUES, WITH 14 EXHIBITIONS TRAVELING TO MORE THAN 25 MUSEUMS SINCE 2007 ALONE. DURING THE 2018-2019 EXHIBITION SEASON, THE DRAWING CENTER HOSTED SEVEN EXHIBITIONS IN ITS VARIOUS GALLERIES INCLUDING THE SECOND ITERATION OF WINTER TERM, AN ANNUAL INITIATIVE IN WHICH THE MUSEUM PARTNERS WITH AN ARTIST OR ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IT IS TO EXPLORE THE TRANSFORMATIVE ROLE THAT DRAWING CAN PLAY IN CIVIC AND GLOBAL SOCIETY. IN THE FALL, THE DRAWING CENTER HOSTED TWO EXHIBITIONS WITH FULLY ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUES: FOR OPACITY: ELIJAH BURGHER, TOYIN OJIH ODUTOLA, AND NATHANIEL MARY QUINN IN ITS MAIN GALLERY AND JENNIFER WYNNE REEVES: ALRIGHT FOR NOW IN THE DRAWING ROOM. THE FIRST EXHIBITION BROUGHT TOGETHER THREE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS, ELIJAH BURGHER (B. 1978, KINGSTON, NY), TOYIN OJIH ODUTOLA (B. 1985, NIGERIA), AND NATHANIEL MARY QUINN (B. 1977, CHICAGO), WHO EXPLORE DIVERSE IDENTITIES IN PORTRAITURE AND WHO DO SO ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING. THIS EXHIBITION FOLLOWED A DRAWING CENTER TRADITION OF INTRODUCING NEW ARTISTS THROUGH A TIMELY THEMATIC THAT HIGHLIGHTS DRAWINGS URGENCY TODAY. JENNIFER WYNNE REEVES FULFILLED ANOTHER DRAWING CENTER IMPERATIVE: PROVIDING A LONG OVERDUE CONSIDERATION OF A HIGHLY-REGARDED YET UNDER-RECOGNIZED ARTIST. THE EXHIBITION WAS REEVESS FIRST SOLO MUSEUM SHOW, AN ARTIST WHO DEVELOPED A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN REPRESENTATION AND ABSTRACTION UNTIL HER TOO-EARLY DEATH FROM BRAIN CANCER IN 2014. IN THE WINTER, THE DRAWING CENTER HOSTED ITS SECOND WINTER TERM, A YEARLY PROGRAM CONSISTING OF PUBLIC EVENTS, CLASSES, AND PERFORMANCES AS WELL AS AN EXHIBITION, COMMITTED TO EXPLORING DRAWING AS A TOOL FOR ADDRESSING INEQUITY AND ENCOURAGING SOCIAL CHANGE. WINTER TERM 2019, ENGAGED THE CENTER FOR URBAN PEDAGOGY (CUP), A BROOKLYN-BASED ORGANIZATION THAT LEVERAGES GRAPHIC DESIGN AND ILLUSTRATION TO BRING TRANSPARENCY TO COMPLEX CIVIC STRUCTURES (EX. LAND USE, LABOR RIGHTS, IMMIGRATION RIGHTS, JUVENILE DETENTION) IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY THEM. THE RESIDENCY FEATURED AN EXHIBITION, IN WHICH THE PROJECT WAS BROKEN-DOWN VISUALLY FROM ITS CONCEPTION THROUGH ITS DESIGN, TESTING AND DISTRIBUTION VIA TEXT, PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, AND PRINTED MATERIAL, AS WELL AS A SERIES OF EVENTS GEARED TOWARDS INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT COMMUNITY-ENGAGED DESIGN. ROUNDING OUT THE SEASON WERE TWO OPEN SESSIONS EXHIBITIONS IN THE LAB GALLERY AS WELL AS A MAJOR SURVEY OF THE RENOWNED GERMAN ARTIST NEO RAUCH OCCUPYING THE MAIN GALLERY AND DRAWING ROOM. RAUCHS PSYCHOLOGICALLY COMPLEX PAINTINGS HAVE BEEN WIDELY COLLECTED AND WRITTEN ABOUT FOR MORE THAN TWENTY YEARS, BUT NEO RAUCH: AUS DEM BODEN / FROM THE FLOOR WAS THE FIRST EXHIBITION OF HIS DRAWINGS IN THE UNITED STATES. IT WAS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE DRAWING CENTER AND THE DES MOINES ART CENTER AND INCLUDED A FULLY-ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE. AS A COMPLIMENT TO NEO RAUCH, WE PRESENTED AS IF: ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES FROM THEN TO NOW, AN EXHIBITION SPANNING A HISTORICAL ERA TRANSFORMED BY WAR, RACIAL AND ECONOMIC INEQUITY, AUTHORITARIANISM, AND THE PERSISTENT FEAR OF EMMINENT APOCOLYPSE. THE WORKS IN THIS EXHIBITION OFFERED ALTERNATIVE UNDERSTANDINGS OF OUR PRESENT BY REWIRING THE PAST. THE DRAWING CENTER PRESENTS AROUND 40 PUBLIC PROGRAMS EVERY YEAR. THESE INCLUDE GALLERY TALKS AND WALKTHROUGHS; LECTURES; READINGS; PERFORMANCES; AND FILM SCREENINGS THAT PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE WORK ON VIEW IN EXHIBITIONS OR TO THE MEDIUM OF DRAWING MORE GENERALLY. REVIVING ITS DECADES-LONG HISTORY OF HOSTING VITAL CULTURAL AND POLITICAL VOICES, THIS YEAR WE LAUNCHED BELLWETHERS, A NEW SERIES OF PUBLIC PROGRAMS THAT CONVENE PROMINENT WRITERS, CULTURAL CRITICS, AND ARTISTS TO RESPOND TO A CULTURAL "BELLWETHER". FOR ADDITIONAL ENTRY POINTS, THE DRAWING CENTER PRODUCES A CATALOGUE OR PUBLICATION AROUND EACH OF ITS EXHIBITIONS; THERE ARE NOW 137+ BOOKS IN THE "DRAWING PAPERS" SERIES, WHICH HAVE IMPACTED MILLIONS ONLINE AND THROUGH WIDE DISTRIBUTION TO BOOKSTORES. LAUNCHED IN JANUARY 2014, OPEN SESSIONS GATHERS 30-40 CONTEMPORARYARTISTS FOR A TWO-YEAR COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM TO DEVELOP RADICAL AND UNIQUE APPROACHES TO DRAWING. OPEN SESSIONS INVITES SELECTED ARTISTS TO CONSIDER DRAWING'S CURRENT AND POTENTIAL ROLES IN THEIR ARTISTIC PRACTICE AND EMPOWERS THEM TO FIND NEW APPROACHES FOR CONTEXTUALIZING AND PRESENTING THEIR WORK THROUGH EXHIBITIONS, PUBLIC PROGRAMS, PROFESSIONAL MENTORSHIP, AND PEER REVIEW. THE DRAWING CENTER SERVES 5,000+ INDIVIDUALS ANNUALLY THROUGH ITS MICHAEL IOVENKO SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND PROGRAMMING IN COLLABORATION WITH DIVERSE COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS. SERVING STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM ACROSS THE FIVE BOROUGHS OF NYC, SINGLE-SESSION DRAW AND REFLECT ART WORKSHOPS CONSIST OF A GUIDED TOUR AND AN ART-MAKING WORKSHOP IN THE GALLERIES. DRAWING CONNECTIONS IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH FOUR LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE AN IN-DEPTH ARTS-IN-EDUCATION EXPERIENCE FOR 100 STUDENTS; THIS MULTI-PART PROGRAM IS COMPRISED OF A SINGLE GALLERY VISIT AND SIX IN-SCHOOL SESSIONS. THE DRAWING CENTER ALSO OFFERS DRAWING WORKSHOPS FOR ARTISTS OF ALL AGES ON SATURDAY MORNINGS; OFF-SITE PUBLIC DRAWING WORKSHOPS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION STREET LAB; GUIDED TOURS FOR ADULT AND UNIVERSITY GROUPS; AND A ROBUST INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. 1470826 true true false false false false false true false true true false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false true 25 0 true 27 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false X 22 22 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false NY X X LAURA HOPTMAN 2122192166 35 WOOSTER STREET NEW YORK NY 10013 FRANCES BEATTY ADLER BOARD MEMBER 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ERIC RUDIN BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DITA AMORY BOARD MEMBER & SECRETARY 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN HOLL BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Andrea Crane BOARD MEMBER & CO-CHAIR 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 IRIS MARDEN BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GALIA STAWSKI BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 STACEY GOERGEN BOARD MEMBER & TREASURER 1.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 BARBARA TOLL BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ISABEL WILCOX BOARD MEMBER 10.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BRAD CLOEPFIL BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RHIANNON KUBICKA BOARD MEMBER 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NANCY POSES BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David Salle boARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JOYCE SIEGEL bOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 WAQAS WAJAHAT bOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 AMY GOLD BOARD MEMBER & CO-CHAIR 4.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 VALENTINA CASTELLANI BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 HARRY TAPPAN-HEHER BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JEAN-EDOUARD VAN PRAET D'AMERLOO BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 JANE DRESNER SADAKA BOARD MEMBER 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ALMINE RUIZ-PICASSO BOARD MEMBER 1.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 LAURA HOPTMAN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 58462 0 0 BRUNO NOURIL - LEFT 31319 DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 40.0 0.0 X 121714 0 4838 180176 0 4838 1 false false false 0 868418 82875 1134457 22699 2085750 PUBLICATION SALES 511190 68119 68119 EXHIBITION REVENUE 900099 15303 15303 ADMISSION FEES 900099 44877 44877 128299 23321 23321 0 0 0 0 0 128073 131345 -3272 -3272 -3272 162491 868418 162491 0 0 0 0 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE 900099 2504 2504 2504 2236602 130803 20049 0 0 0 0 173137 34627 25971 112539 0 801206 578555 48920 173731 0 60052 51841 3933 4278 71510 44353 5646 21511 0 2903 2903 123021 123021 0 0 4271 4271 190411 163410 24861 2140 4146 4146 59150 47417 7598 4135 0 0 113035 78255 26065 8715 21442 19792 400 1250 0 0 89389 89389 0 300002 207691 69181 23130 48037 38369 5904 3764 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE 147457 102084 34004 11369 SHIPPING AND COURIERS 63866 63866 BANK AND PAYROLL CHARGES 33066 33066 PRODUCTION EXPENSE 29695 29695 40466 6725 5082 28659 2376262 1470826 510215 395221 36425 66999 36 41071 219337 267143 12482 155 0 0 0 0 0 0 50910 45972 33876 16516 12526774 3092620 9731268 9434154 0 0 456361 481969 0 0 0 0 0 0 10540695 10353979 134295 161870 0 0 0 1948 0 0 0 0 125000 125000 1746384 1653564 0 0 27159 33574 2032838 1975956 X 7707647 7579615 377307 375505 422903 422903 8507857 8378023 10540695 10353979 -139660 9826 X X false true X true false X 1816608 1870018 1845994 2046738 2085750 9665108 0 0 1816608 1870018 1845994 2046738 2085750 9665108 1075377 8589731 37197 22264 20672 20807 23321 124261 0 1246 2504 3750 9793119 0.87712 0.82990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X BENEFIT EVENT AUCTION true 422903 422903 422903 422903 497903 497903 634778 136875 497903 634778 634778 1.00000 false false 180000 180000 11833951 2704895 9129056 375364 253531 121833 137459 134194 3265 9434154 0 VACATION ACCRUAL 33574 33574 X 2242157 9826 9826 2232331 4271 4271 2236602 2371991 2371991 4271 4271 2376262 PART III, LINE 1A: THE ORGANIZATION HAS ACCUMULATED CERTAIN ARTWORK THAT HAS NOT BEEN REFLECTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SINCE THE FAIR MARKET VALUE IS NOT DETERMINABLE.
