We serve students of all ages in a range of creative programs and opportunities. For FYE 2019 we reached 32 schools from elementary to high school students participating in tours to Pop-Up Studio workshops. We offer our exclusive signature program Eyes On/Hands On and Art Within Reach to 3rd grade students. PSAM is very fortunate we receive grant funding to provide busses to the three school districts so students can participate in the Eyes On/Hands On and Art within Reach programs. In 2019 we provided 47 busses to transport students from the three school districts vs prior year we provided 43 busses. We were able to reach 1,138 third grade elementary school students through this specialized art program.

In FYE 2019 we reached a total of 6,252 K-12 grade students onsite vs in 2018 student engagement attendance was 6,184. Our Teen Docent program engages high school students who become educated about the museums collection and are trained to give tours to other students as part of a peer-to-peer program. The Teen Art Academy gives high school students extra-curricular opportunities to discuss art critically, think creatively, and make art alongside contemporary artists and professional educators while working collaboratively with their peers through tours of the museum. The Museums Childrens Summer Camp offers a five-day art workshop for children ages 5-12 over the summer months. Our goal is to have students emerge with self-confidence in their creative skills, and in the world that springs from their imagination. The curriculum is rooted in developmentally based lessons that encourage an in-depth engagement with the process of making art. Our goal is to reach 10,000 students annually by 2025.Adult education programming includes Lectures, Artist Dialogues, and Films. Our Mondays @ the Museum program (presented from October to May) is a great way for adults to get involved in the arts.

In addition, the collection includes the Stephen Willard Photography Archive and the Bill Anderson Photographic Archive, totaling approximately 42,000 images and archival materials. The collection is maintained for public exhibition, education, research, and the furtherance of public service rather than for financial gain. The Museum's collection, acquired through donations and purchases, are not recognized as assets in the accompanying financial statements. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in the appropriate net asset classification in the year of acquisition. Contributed collection items are not reflected in the financial statements. Proceeds from the sale of art are recorded as increases in the appropriate net asset classification in the year of sale and are reserved for the acquisition of works of art and conservation of the collections existing works of art.The following amounts are the purchase price or the fair market value at the time of the gift to the Museum at September 30, 2019:Art $67,643,224; Anthropology $1,893,698; Reserve $3,018,530; Frey House $525,552; Library, archives, and other items $3,661,659; Items held for deaccession $460,833.Collection items consist of art objects that are held for educational and curatorial purposes, including public display and research. Each of the items is cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and kept unencumbered. Activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously. Collection items acquired either through purchase or donation are not capitalized. The proceeds from deaccession of collection items may be used for acquisitions of new collection items or the direct care of existing collections. The Museum adheres to the ethical principles and definition of direct care established by the American Alliance of Museums and considers direct care to entail actions that enhance the life, usefulness, or quality of the collection items to ensure they will continue to benefit the public. The Museum's collection management policy includes conservation services, archival services, collections care investments identified through a conservation assessment and/or plan, and collection care training for staff and volunteers, as activities that are considered direct care of collection items. Purchases of collection items are recorded as decreases in net assets without donor restrictions if purchased with assets without donor restrictions and as decreases in net assets with donor restrictions if purchased with donor-restricted assets. Contributions of collection items are not recognized in the statement of activities. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected on the statement of activities as nonoperating revenues. The fair market values of the works acquired through contributions were $3,403,956 (unaudited) and $2,069,715 (unaudited) during the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.Proceeds from the sale of deaccessioned items were $0 for the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Collections purchased were $29,600 and $29,550 during the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As part of a plan approved by the Board in June 2005, works of art not deemed to be strategic were deaccessioned from the collection. It was agreed by the Board that deaccessioning proceeds would be credited to the art acquisition account. The Board also approved the use of net cash surpluses in the art acquisition account to repay external debt for a limited time, and that the borrowings from the account would be repaid over time. The deaccessioning procedures were discussed with the American Association of Museums and with the Accreditation Committee in February 2007, and such practices confirmed by such organizations as being appropriate and consistent with best practices.Funds were then borrowed from the art acquisition account to repay the Museum's external debts. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, a balance of $838,941 and $868,541, respectively remains to be reimbursed to the art acquisition account as funds become available. Commencing in 2007, it was determined by the Board that any new deaccessioned funds raised by the Museum would be maintained in a segregated account and would be strictly for the acquisition of works of art. Beginning with the year ended September 30, 2019, the Museum has expanded the use of these funds to include the direct care of existing works of art within the collection. As of September 30, 2019, all proceeds from the sale of new deaccessioned art were either expended for the purchase of art, used to maintain existing art, or remain in the segregated account. Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
