Museum admissions, special events, education events, and outreach programs drew attendance of nearly 145,000 people in fiscal 2017. 0 0 8124795 609752 The Mint Museum celebrated its 80th anniversary and proclaimed Fiscal Year 2017 the "Year of the Woman," celebrating not only the fact that the museum was founded by visionary women in 1936 and has benefited from the leadership of many women since (including board chairs, donors, and directors) but also the creativity of women artists from around the world. The anniversary was celebrated with a weekend of special programs in October 2016, including curator lectures and gallery talks; family activities; and a community concert at historic Mint Museum Randolph. Mint Museum Uptown hosted two major exhibitions celebrating this theme: Fired Up: Contemporary Glass by Women Artists from the Toledo Museum of Art (co-organized by The Mint Museum and the Toledo Museum of Art) and Women of Abstract Expressionism (organized by the Denver Art Museum). Both of these projects were noteworthy for being the first major exhibitions on their subjects. Fired Up included the work of more than 40 international leaders of the studio glass movement; Women of Abstract Expressionism provided an in-depth look at 12 of the pioneering female artists associated with this movement between 1945 and 1960.In addition to these important projects, the museum also opened two major exhibitions in the spring of 2017: The Wyeths: Three Generations from the Bank of America Collection (featuring work by N.C., Andrew, Jamie, and Henriette Wyeth and Peter Hurd) at Mint Museum Randolph, and State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now at Mint Museum Uptown (which included work by more than 40 contemporary artists from every region of the country). The museum also shared many other smaller-scale but equally-important exhibitions with its visitors. Leo Twiggs: Requiem for Mother Emanuel was a powerful tribute by a renowned South Carolina artist to the victims of the shootings at the Mother Emanuel church in Charleston, S.C. The exhibition inspired two "Church Day" memorial events, a Carolina Artists Respond program, and several art activities with the Grier Heights and NexGen programs. John Biggers: Wheels in Wheels was a small retrospective organized by the museum celebrating the life and work of Gastonia native John Biggers. This was the first time that the museum has had an exhibition of his work. Romare Bearden: The Odysseus Series featured 20 watercolors by the Charlotte native that reinterpret the epic tale of Odysseus. UNC-Charlotte professor Marek Ranis debuted his new film Like Shishmaref in the Level 4 media gallery. This film juxtaposed the vanishing coastlines of Shishmaref, Alaska, and North Carolina's Outer Banks with a message about climate change.Students, children, teens, families, and adults enjoyed popular favorites as well as exciting new learning and engagement programs. The family-friendly Sunday Fun Days program continued to offer monthly opportunities for visitors to connect to the Mint's special exhibitions and permanent collections. Curriculum-based school tours and studio programs, Student Artist (STAR) Gallery exhibitions, and professional development opportunities served K-12 students and teachers from public, private, independent, and charter schools. School tours integrated visual art with language arts, history, and STEM with special exhibitions. Many adult programs correlated with special exhibitions. Spotlight tours were offered for all the major exhibitions. In tandem with Fired Up, the Mint hosted the Missoula School of Hot Glass' mobile hot shop and a panel of exhibition artists. Victoria Browning Wyeth, granddaughter of Andrew, spoke to a sell-out audience in March. Four featured artists from State of the Art conducted mini-residencies, delivering lecture and facilitating workshops for adults and NexGen teens. Sunday Fun Days continued to draw large and diverse audiences each month, averaging 300 - 350 families per event at Mint Museum Uptown. STAR Gallery exhibitions engaged students and schools and connected the gallery experience with the classroom. Seven student exhibitions comprising work from 600 students rotated through STAR Galleries at both Mint locations. Professional development opportunities served 40 local and regional K-12 teachers. Participants practiced strategies and methods to teach visual literacy.NexGen Mint continued for a third year offering teens, ages 14 to 18, a "place and space" to gather, exchange ideas, interact, and learn within the museum setting. For the fiscal year, 17 programs were offered to approximately 325 NexGen Mint members. Artists included: Francis Bitonti, internationally-known designer notable for his use of 3-D printing technology; Kira Campbell, teaching artist affiliated with Charlotte's Clayworks; Robin Wellner; Maria Ferran; and State of the Art featured artists Delita Martin and Bob Trotman. All programs were free of charge.Community outreach programs reached nearly 12,000 participants. Six Mint to Move Cultural Dance Nights, averaging 200 participants, featured Afro-Caribbean music, dance lessons, and live art demonstrations. Quarterly Community Conversations combined visual and performing arts as a vehicle to explore topics such as contemporary jazz music and the growing South Asian community. Finally, the popular Grier Heights Community Arts Program had another successful year, engaging youth ages 11-17 from one of Charlotte's most fragile communities. Participants gained healthy life skills, advanced academically, and participated in community service through a variety of projects and activities connected to the Mint's collections and special exhibitions.Through the Mint's highly popular Latino Initiative, a broad menu of Latino-oriented programming attracted 1,200 visitors. The family-friendly Bilingual Stories and Music offered singing, dancing, and stories to young children and their families, drawing both Latino families as well as non-Latino ones who consider it important for their children to gain exposure to Latino/Hispanic culture. The annual Con A de Arte event showcased the work of local Latino artists through presentations modeled after the TED conferences which include visual art presentations and performances by musicians, dancers, poets, and actors. The signature Latin Music Concert Series comprised four events that featured live bands playing Brazilian, Puerto Rican, Andean, Mexican, and Latin jazz music.Activities around the museum's 80th anniversary are summarized at the museum's dedicated microsite at mintmuseum.org/80th. 8124795 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 121 0 1 101 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 27 27 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 NC X Gary Blankemeyer 7043372068 2730 RANDOLPH ROAD CHARLOTTE NC 28207 Mr Weston Andress Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Robert Sheridan III Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Joe Pierce Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Samuel Bowles Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Charles Bowman Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Ronald Carter Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Susan Cole Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Jesse Cureton Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Walter Dolhare Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Beverly Smith Hance Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Todd Holleman Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Marc Jensen Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Chandra Johnson Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Sean Jones Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Toni Kendrick Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Ashley Larkin Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Scott Mattei Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Neill McBryde Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Susan McKeithen Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Posey Mealy Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Karl Newlin Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs Jo Ann Peer Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Laura Vinroot Poole Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mrs M A Rogers Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr John Switzer Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Bob Wilhelm Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Paul Wright Member 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathleen Jameson President/Chief Executive Officer 40.00 0.50 X 188929 0 10823 Toni Freeman Chief Operating Officer 40.00 0.00 X 142930 0 9903 Gary Blankemeyer Chief Financial Officer 40.00 0.00 X 120496 0 9454 452355 0 30180 3 0 1 0 Sunstates Security 801 Corporate Drive RALEIGH NC 27607 On-Site Security & Guard Services 531554 Bio Green Solutions 1409 East Blvd CHARLOTTE NC 28203 On-Site Housekeeping & Janitorial Svcs 251346 Biz Technology Solutions 353 Oates Road Mooresville NC 28117 Computer Technical Services 142662 Day 21 LLC dba Orbutal Socket 9201 University City Blvd Charlotte NC 28223 Marketing/Strategy Consulting 104874 4 800986 216681 954117 114580 3201297 12743 5287661 MUSEUM ADMISSIONS 900099 265233 265233 Other Activities 900099 63288 63288 education programs 611710 58544 58544 Event Tickets 900099 19032 19032 406097 38793 38793 1089371 0 1089371 1089371 1003150 86221 2427 0 2427 2427 2427 334430 216681 288262 46168 46168 437195 233540 203655 203655 commissions 900099 15416 15416 15416 7089588 609752 1003150 189025 X 482535 348327 66851 67357 2755487 1989104 381746 384637 56114 40507 7774 7833 396234 286029 54895 55310 243199 175558 33693 33948 8375 8375 1971049 1358827 516821 95401 264920 264349 571 362922 179768 138865 44289 609731 525312 82500 1919 128467 92735 17800 17932 52118 20192 15272 16654 1817748 1763610 26570 27568 89530 30282 59248 ACCESSIONS & Conservati 566473 566473 Special Events 195688 195275 413 EXHIBITIONS RENTAL/INST 191911 188709 3202 RECEPTIONS/MEMBER SERVI 99983 30624 69359 95599 69114 25584 901 10388083 8124795 1436978 826310 1107263 890639 1247270 754384 708984 998909 205740 210958 269273 287600 233787 144535 64328682 12752376 53277447 51576306 1870267 1871296 25584716 26969610 3032035 2960303 87536782 86664540 383603 521588 351936 359590 735539 881178 X 5201739 5628034 59505237 58261093 22094267 21894235 86801243 85783362 87536782 86664540 X -3298495 165275 2115339 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4179749 7501888 4080051 4682390 5287661 25731739 1657213 1641852 1641852 1641852 1641852 8224621 5836962 9143740 5721903 6324242 6929513 33956360 5015237 28941123 481955 297593 338984 46438 125014 1289984 133106 242345 38085 242900 180156 836592 128099 72369 28400 15416 244284 36327220 4463016 0.79670 0.86110 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X 0 34348060 316604 3693144 1710342 36647466 35900192 15000 265487 1832619 34348060 36435354 63477 857171 1455810 35900192 32735737 10000 5182996 1493379 36435354 29692731 147779 4576499 1681272 32735737 0.00000 0.90700 0.09300 1 1 1 58649445 9611401 49038044 4449089 1990848 2458241 1230148 1150127 80021 51576306 beneficial interests in trusts 26969610 F 26969610 X Part III, Line 1a: IN ACCORDANCE WITH GAAP AND THE PRACTICE TYPICALLY FOLLOWED BY MUSEUMS, EXHIBITS, AND ART OBJECTS PURCHASED AND DONATED ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION.
