("JMKAC") staff annually originate 12-22 curated exhibitions that are part of two or three broad themes exploring relevant issues in contemporary art - emphasizing installation works, new genres, craft-related forms, communally transmitted traditions, and the work of self-taught artists. The collection of over 10,000 works by self-taught and folk artists is world-reknowned for the preservation of the works of artist-environment builders. In 2016, JMKAC hosted over 150,000 gallery visitors and curated 18 exhibitions, including 2 traveling exhibitions garnering widespread reviews and articles. In 2016, JMKAC presented two broad themes.Wisconsin Wild and Tame: This series of 8 exhibitions explored various facets of art making in Wisconsin, featurng only Wisconsin artists. Concepts such as magic realism, the artist studio, the domestic sphere and dream worlds were all investigated through works by emerging, contemporary and self-taught artists. Components of regional art environments and recent sculptures made in the Arts/Industry program were also included in the series. This dynamic and multifaceted examination of Wisconsin art uncovered strong thematic undercurrents and revealed the state as a wellspring for imagination and enigmatic narrative. Escape Routes: A multitude of weighty issues seem to plague society today - climate change, political squabbling, threats of terrorism, personal dealings with debt, loss, child rearing, technology overload and so on. Through differing approaches and media, artists in the series responded to such anxieties by exploring escapist tendencies. Some examined the idea of "going off the grid, or visualized portals or pathways by which to "escape." Others opted to shift attention inward, inventing fantastical worlds to escape the mundane or troublesome. Some delved into detailed processes that gave them a sense of focus or "flow" that allowed them to abandon present space and time. This series of 5 exhibitions proved that escape can be a vaild means of solving, or at least managing contemporary concerns creatively, and that the escape routes taken are many. 927868 0 215042 Education - Education efforts deepen the impact of other programs through docent-led tours using visual thinking strategies (VTS), a facilitated discussion approach that develops critical thinking, communication, and visual literacy skills; an arts-based preschool; classes; introductory videos for exhibitions; lectures; festivals; and programs for schools, universities, daycare centers, shelters, persons with disabilities, the elderly, persons with dementia and their caregivers, and more.In 2016, the Arts Center offered 89 classes and camps for 975 participants.

Contributions of collections items are not recognized in the consolidated statements of activities. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected on the consolidated statements of activities based on the absence or existence and nature of donor-imposed restrictions. During 2016 and 2015, there were no disposals of collections items. In order to save important oeuvres from destruction, the Arts Center has built a collection of objects and site works through donations and grants. The objects are regularly exhibited. In addition, the Arts Center has a collection of artwork produced by artists in its arts/industry program. The Art Center employs a curator to ensure that the collections are protected and preserved. Part III, Line 4: In order to save important oeuvres from destruction, the Arts Center has built a collection of objects and site works through donations and grants. The objects are regularly exhibited. In addition, the Arts Center has a collection of artwork produced by artists in its arts/industry program. Part V, Line 4: The Arts Center's endowment consists of individual funds established for a variety of purposes by donors. Part X, Line 2: As required by uncertain tax position guidance, the Arts Center recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Arts Center applied the uncertain tax position guidance to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open and has determined there were no material unrecognized tax benefits.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b A copy of the full form 990 is provided to the finance committee for review prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, copies of the form 990 are distributed to the board of directors prior to filing. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c Each Director shall disclose to the Board of Directors any conflict of interest or possible conflict of interest whenever the conflict pertains to a matter being considered by the Board of Directors. Any Director having a conflict of interest on any matter shall leave the room during the discussion and vote on the matter, and shall abstain from voting on the matter but may be counted in determining the quorum for the vote on the matter. In addition, she or he shall not use her or his personal influence on the matter, but may briefly state her or his position on the matter and may answer pertinent questions from other directors since her or his knowledge may be of great assistance. The minutes of the meeting involving any such situation shall reflect that a disclosure was made, the abstention from voting, and the quorum situation. If a director is uncertain as to whether she or he has a conflict of interest which requires abstention, or if a director asserts that another director has such a conflict, the Board of Directors, by majority vote of those present other than the director having the possible conflict, shall decide whether abstention is required. If abstention is required, the affected director shall leave the meeting during the discussion and vote on the matter and shall abstain from voting on the matter. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 The Arts Center's Human Resource Committee reviews the Center Director's salary annually at the annual meeting after review of comparable salary market data and a performance discussion. In addition, the Human Resource Committee reviews the entire compensation system which is driven by external market comparisons for similar type and size organizations and internal equity if the system is changed. The Human Resource Committee requests a performance update from the Director of key leadership positions in closed session on an annual basis. Merit increase pools are determined annually as a percent of budget with the Human Resource Committee's approval. Merit pools are determined by internal financial conditions as well as a review of market comparables. Individual merit increases are awarded based on the final performance review rating. Retention and salary adjustments are done on a case-by-case basis and are fairly uncommon. When done, an external market review and internal equity review are also completed. Actions of the committee are documented in the committee minutes.
