RANGING FROM WALL-MOUNTED PIECES IN LOW RELIEF TO MIXED-MEDIA FLOOR INSTALLATIONS, AND FROM HARD-EDGED TO THOSE MORE ORGANIC IN CHARACTER--SOME STRUCTURES PROVOKING METAPHOR OR ILLUSION-- MOST WORKS WERE MADE OVER THE PAST FOUR DECADES AND ACQUIRED BY GIFT.

FARNSWORTH LIBRARY AND ART MUSEUM OPENED ITS DOORS IN AUGUST 1948, NO ONE COULD THEN HAVE ENVISIONED THAT IT WOULD BECOME ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT REGIONAL ART MUSEUMS. ITS FOUNDER, LUCY COPELAND FARNSWORTH, CREATED IT AS A MEMORIAL TO HER FATHER AND ENVISIONED THE FARNSWORTH AS A COMBINED ART MUSEUM, LIBRARY AND HISTORIC HOUSE THE HOUSE WAS LUCY'S FAMILY HOME, KNOWN AS THE HOMESTEAD AND LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES. THUS THE FARNSWORTH WAS DISTINCTIVE AMONG AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS OF ITS TIME. THIS DYNAMIC HYBRID CHARACTER HAS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE OLSON HOUSE, A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK AND THE SITE OF ANDREW WYETH'S ICONIC 1948 PAINTING, CHRISTINA'S WORLD. THE MUSEUM'S MISSION, FORMULATED EARLY IN ITS HISTORY, IS TO CELEBRATE MAINE'S ROLE IN AMERICAN ART. IN PRACTICAL TERMS, THAT MEANS THE FARNSWORTH FOCUSES ITS COLLECTION AND EXHIBITION ACTIVITIES AROUND THOSE ARTISTS WHO HAVE WORKED OR LIVED IN MAINE. . SINCE THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY MAINE HAS BEEN BOTH HOST AND INSPIRATION TO MANY OF AMERICA'S MOST NOTED PAINTERS INCLUDING GEORGE BELLOWS, ROBERT HENRI, MARSDEN HARTLEY, CHILDE HASSAM, FITZ HENRY LANE, EASTMAN JOHNSON, ROCKWELL KENT, THOMAS MORAN, AND GEORGE INNESS ALL OF WHOSE WORK WILL BE INCLUDED IN THIS EXHIBITION. DRAWN HERE BY THE STATE'S PHYSICAL BEAUTY, THEY FOUND SUBJECTS FOR THEIR WORK THAT SUSTAINED THEM AND, IN SOME CASES, DEFINED THEIR CAREERS. THE MUSEUM'S EARLIEST ACQUISITIONS THUS OFTEN DEPICTED THE HARBORS, STREAMS, FIELDS, AND FORESTS OF MAINE, AS WELL AS BOAT BUILDERS, FISHERMEN, FARMERS, AND VACATIONERS ALONG THE STATE'S SCENIC COASTLINE. IN THE YEARS FOLLOWING WORLD WAR II, A NEW GENERATION OF ARTISTS WAS ATTRACTED TO MAINE, THOUGH FOR DIFFERENT REASONS. AS ABSTRACTION SUPPLANTED REALISM AS THE DOMINANT VISUAL LANGUAGE IN AMERICAN ART, ARTISTS WHO CAME TO MAINE WERE DRIVEN LESS BY ITS PHYSICAL BEAUTY AS A SOURCE FOR THEIR IMAGERY, BUT MORE BY THE SIMPLICITY, AFFORDABILITY, AND ENJOYMENT OF SPENDING THEIR SUMMERS HERE, AWAY FROM THE INTENSITY OF LIFE IN NEW YORK,WHERE MANY OF THEM WERE BASED. ALEX KATZ AND ROBERT INDIANA, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE AMONG THOSE NATIONALLY SIGNIFICANT ARTISTS WHO HAVE LIVED AND WORKED HERE. THE FARNSWORTH IS ALSO KNOWN FOR ITS SUBSTANTIAL COLLECTION OF WORKS BY ANDREW, JAMIE AND FAMILY PATRIARCH N.C. WYETH, WHO FIRST CAME TO MAINE IN THE 1920S. ALL THREE ARE FEATURED IN AMERICAN TREASURES. LESS WELL KNOWN IS THAT THE MUSEUM HAS THE WORLD'S SECOND LARGEST COLLECTION OF THE WORK OF INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED SCULPTOR, LOUISE NEVELSON. BORN IN WHAT IS TODAY UKRAINE, HER FATHER SETTLED HER AND THE REST OF HER FAMILY IN ROCKLAND, WHERE SHE GREW UP AND WHERE HER EARLIEST INTERESTS IN ART DEVELOPED BEFORE SHE MOVED TO NEW YORK TO PURSUE HER CAREER. THE FARNSWORTH ART MUSEUM IS PROUD TO SHARE ITS AMERICAN TREASURES WITH THE SOCIETY OF THE FOUR ARTS, PALM BEACH, FLORIDA. JANUARY 24-MARCH 29, 2015. RECENT ACQUISITIONS AS IS THE CASE FOR NEARLY ALL AMERICAN ART MUSEUMS, THE GROWTH OF THE FARNSWORTH'S COLLECTION IS LARGELY DEPENDENT ON THE GENEROSITY OF MANY INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, AND FOUNDATIONS WHO DONATE WORKS TO THE MUSEUM. IN THIS SAMPLING OF RECENT GIFTS ON VIEW IN THE LIBRARY GALLERY ARE WORKS BY PAUL CAPONIGRO, DALE CHIHULY, LOIS DODD, JAMES FITZGERALD, YVONNE JACQUETTE, ROBERT INDIANA, ROCKWELL KENT, KEITH SHAW WILLIAMS, CARL SPRINCHORN, ANDREW WINTER, JAMIE WYETH, MARGUERITE AND WILLIAM ZORACH, AMONG OTHERS.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | THE WYETHS, MAINE, AND THE SEA THE ART OF THE WYETHS N.C., ANDREW AND JAMIE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THEIR FAMILIARITY WITH AND FASCINATION FOR LIFE ALONG MIDCOAST MAINE, REACHING BACK TO N.C.'S DECISION TO BRING HIS FAMILY TO THE AREA IN 1920. THE WYETHS' INTERESTS HAVE INCLUDED THE COAST'S DRAMATIC SHORELINE AND ISLANDS, INCLUDING MONHEGAN, THE LIVES OF FISHERMEN AND FARMERS, AND THE BOATS, HOUSES, BARNS, LIGHTHOUSES AND OTHER STRUCTURES SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE MIDCOAST.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | EDUCATION PROGRAM LECTURES AND CLASSES FIRST QUARTER (10/1/14 -12/31/14) THE THREE PILLARS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING AT THE FARNSWORTH ARE QUALITY, DIVERSITY, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT STAFF MEMBERS ARE VERY CAREFUL TO PRESENT THE WIDEST RANGE OF TOURS, CLASSES, COURSES, FILMS, AND FAMILY EVENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS, YOUNG CHILDREN TO SENIORS, THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THUS DURING OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, AND DECEMBER OF 2014, WE PRESENTED A FULL SMORGASBORD OF STIMULATING AND QUESTING OFFERINGS. IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SHAKER EXHIBITION, DIRECTOR OF SABBATHDAY LAKE SHAKER VILLAGE MICHAEL GRAHAM AND SABBATHDAY LAKE VILLAGE SHAKER BROTHER ARNOLD GAVE INFORMATIVE TALKS ON ASPECTS OF SHAKER LIFE. TO COMPLEMENT EDWIN AUSTIN ABBEY'S SHAKESPEARE: FROM THE YALE UNIVERSITY ART GALLERY, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT ORGANIZED FOUR LECTURES/DISCUSSIONS, A READING OF SELECTIONS FROM SHAKESPEARE, SIX AFTERNOONS OF RELATED FILMS, AND A FIRST FRIDAY FILM IN THE STRAND THEATRE, KEVIN SPACEY'S NOW: IN THE WINGS ON A WORLD STAGE. BESIDES THE SHAKESPEARE FILM, THE FARNSWORTH CONTINUED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STRAND AND PRESENTED TWO OTHER FIRST FRIDAY FILMS, LIFE ITSELF (ABOUT THE LIFE AND DEATH OF FILM CRITIC ROGER EBERT) AND ADVANCED STYLE (ABOUT FASHIONISTAS OF A CERTAIN AGE IN NEW YORK CITY). IN OCTOBER IN THE STRAND, A CONSORTIUM OF SIX MIDCOAST MAINE NOT-FOR-PROFITS HOSTED THE FIRST EVER "GETTING TO KNOW US" FILM SCREENING FREE TO THE PUBLIC. EACH INSTITUTION HAD CREATED A SHORT DOCUMENTARY FILM THAT HIGHLIGHTED PEOPLE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE FARNSWORTH'S CONTRIBUTION WAS ARTWORKS, A STOP-MOTION ANIMATION FILM MADE BY JULIA'S GALLERY TEENS ABOUT CHILD HOMELESSNESS IN MAINE. AFTER THE SCREENING OF THE FILMS, SPOKESPERSONS FROM THE NOT-FOR-PROFITS ANSWERED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROJECTS DEPICTED IN THE FILMS AND ABOUT THEIR ORGANIZATIONS IN GENERAL. FAMILY PROGRAMS AND CHILDREN STUDIO CLASSES BROUGHT INTO THE MUSEUM ALMOST 1,000 PARTICIPANTS. MASK AND PUPPET-MAKING WORKSHOPS FOR BOTH YOUTHS AND ADULTS WERE INTENSIVE OVER THREE DAYS. TWO GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING WORKSHOPS DREW 150 PARTICIPANTS. THE FALL FAMILY FESTIVAL ONCE AGAIN SAW A LARGE ENTHUSIASTIC TURNOUT. FINALLY, THE COOKIE-DECORATING AND CRAFT ACTIVITY PART OF SHARE THE WONDER HELD IN THE GAMBLE EDUCATION CENTER WAS - AS USUAL - A BIG SUCCESS. THE THREE ADULT STUDIO CLASSES IN THE FALL PROVIDED EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION AT BOTH THE ADVANCED AND BEGINNERS LEVELS: DRAWING AND PAINTING WITH SAM CADY, PAINTING WITH INGRID ELLISON, AN INTRODUCTION TO WATERCOLOR WITH LESIA SOCHOR. SECOND QUARTER (1/1/15-3/31/15) IN THE DEPTHS OF WINTER, THE FARNSWORTH CONTINUED TO OFFER A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN THAT BROUGHT A LITTLE SUNSHINE INTO THEIR LIVES. TO ELUCIDATE THE COLLECTIVE BASH, WHICH FOCUSED ON THE HINDU CELEBRATION OF HOLI, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT BROUGHT INDIAN SPECIALIST STEPHEN HUYLER TO A PACKED FARNSWORTH AUDITORIUM WHERE HE GAVE AN ILLUSTRATED LECTURE ON THE USE OF COLOR ON THE SUB-CONTINENT. IN ANTICIPATION OF SPRING, HISTORIAN VIRGINIA TUTTLE GAVE A TALK IN A FULL AUDITORIUM TITLED GARDENING AND ART IN AMERICA: 1870-1920. ANOTHER EVENT THAT SAW A CAPACITY CROWD WAS ARTISTS ON ART: MEDIUM & MEANING, AN ONGOING PANEL OFFERING THAT GIVES VOICE TO EMERGING MAINE ARTISTS. DURING THE DIFFICULT WEATHER MONTHS OF JANUARY THROUGH MARCH, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT TYPICALLY HIRES LOCAL EXPERTS AND SCREENS FILMS AND VIDEOS IN THE AUDITORIUM AND THE STRAND THEATRE. IN THIS WAY, IF AN EVENT MUST BE CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE EVENT CAN BE EASILY RESCHEDULED. EVEN THOUGH VERY FEW GALLERIES ARE OPEN FOR THE ROCKLAND FIRST FRIDAY GALLERY WALK DURING THIS PERIOD, THE FARNSWORTH CONTINUES TO RUN ITS FIRST FRIDAY FILMS SERIES IN COLLABORATION WITH THE STRAND. IN THIS THREE-MONTH PERIOD, WE EXPERIMENTED WITH A DIFFERENT STARTING TIME (5:30 PM, INSTEAD OF 8:00PM), AND FOUND THAT OUR AUDIENCE MEMBERS WERE APPRECIATIVE. ONE FIRST FRIDAY FILM, RUSSIAN ARK, WAS CO-PRESENTED BY THE FARNSWORTH, STRAND AND THE CAMDEN CONFERENCE, BECAUSE THE TOPIC FOR THIS YEAR'S CONFERENCE WAS RUSSIA. THE MARCH FIRST FRIDAY FILM WAS THE ALWAYS POPULAR ROCKLAND SHORTS. ALSO, THE STRAND AND FARNSWORTH EXPERIMENTED WITH A NEW SERIES FOR THE WINTER CALLED CLASSIC FILM SERIES; WE WERE ASKING THE QUESTION, WOULD PEOPLE COME IN FROM THE COLD TO SEE VINTAGE FILMS ON THE BIG SCREEN? THE RESULTS WERE POSITIVE, SO MUCH SO THAT WE WILL SELECT THREE DIFFERENT CLASSIC FILMS FOR THE WINTER 2016. FAMILY PROGRAMS AND STUDIO CLASSES FOR CHILDREN CONTINUED APACE, WITH SUCH OFFERINGS AS ART CAMP: EXPLORING INDIA (AGAIN, ALIGNED WITH THE COLLECTIVE BASH), FAMILY ACTIVITY DAY: VALENTINE MAKING, AND UKRAINIAN EGG DECORATING WORKSHOP. A WIDE RANGE OF ADULT STUDIO CLASSES WERE OFFERED OVER THE WINTER, INCLUDING INTRO TO FABRIC DYEING AND WAX RESIST, CREATE A SET OF COLLAGED POSTCARDS, AND BREAKING LOOSE: REVVING UP YOUR POETRY TOOLBOX. THIRD QUARTER (4/1/15-6/31/15) THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT FOCUSES ITS PROGRAMMING ON THE COLLECTION AND EXHIBITIONS. THE THIRD QUARTER WAS NO DIFFERENT, AS THE DEPARTMENT OFFERED A WIDE VARIETY OF OFFERINGS ELUCIDATING THE ART ON THE WALLS FOR YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORIAN SCOTT HANSON DELIVERED A LECTURE TITLED "THE COMFORTS OF HOME: DOMESTIC TECHNOLOGY & THE FARNSWORTH HOMESTEAD," THUS HELPING THE ATTENDEES FURTHER UNDERSTAND THE WORKINGS OF OUR LUCY FARNSWORTH'S HOMESTEAD. THE BIG EXHIBITION FOR THE YEAR IS "MAINE COLLECTS, AND CHIEF CURATOR MICHAEL KOMANECKY GAVE A POWERPOINT OVERVIEW OF THE EXHIBITION ON THE DAY IT OPENED TO THE PUBLIC. THE AUDIENCE FOR CULTURAL EVENTS ON THE MIDCOAST IS WIDE AND SOPHISTICATED, AND WE IN THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT OFTEN HEAR COMMENTS OR SEE ON WRITTEN SURVEYS THAT FARNSWORTH VISITORS ENJOY NOT ONLY THE ART MADE IN MAINE AND ABOUT MAINE, BUT ALSO LEARNING ABOUT ART FROM OTHER PLACES, NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY. PERIODICALLY, THE MUSEUM OFFERS LECTURES THAT EXTEND THE REACH OF THE COLLECTION AND EXHIBITIONS, AND THIS SPRING WE RAN "CLASH OF THE TITANS," A MINI-SERIES FOCUSED ON THE RIVALRY OF LEONARDO AND MICHELANGELO. HELD IN THE STRAND THEATRE, THE TWO LECTURES BY ROGER DELL WERE WELL ATTENDED, AS WAS THE COMPLEMENTARY OVER-NIGHT VISIT TO BOSTON AND CAMBRIDGE. SIXTEEN TRAVELERS ENJOYED THE BOSTON MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS EXHIBITION "LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE IDEA OF BEAUTY AND A TOUR THROUGH THE RENZO PIANO NEWLY REBUILT HARVARD UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUMS (FORMERLY THE FOGG, THE SACKLER, AND THE BUSCH REISINGER). IN THE DEAD OF WINTER, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT PILOTED A NEW FILM PROGRAM CALLED "CLASSIC FILMS, AND, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STRAND, SCREENED A FILM NOIR CLASSIC ("DOUBLE INDEMNITY") AND A BIG-SCREEN ADVENTURE FILM ("LAWRENCE OF ARABIA"). THIS LED TO THE MAY SCREENING OF A BELOVED COMEDY ("SOME LIKE IT HOT"), AFTER WHICH THE SON OF STAR TONY CURTIS, BEN CURTIS, TOOK TO THE STAGE AND SPOKE ABOUT HIS FATHER'S REMEMBRANCES OF WORKING WITH JACK LEMMON AND MARILYN MONROE. THREE "FIRST FRIDAY FILMS" WERE PRESENTED, AS WELL AS A FREE CHILDREN'S FILM THAT COINCIDED WITH SPRING SCHOOL VACATION ("ERNEST & CELESTINE") AND A VERY POPULAR MUSEUM-FILM "THE HERMITAGE REVEALED." ALL OF THESE FILMS WERE CO-PRESENTED BY THE FARNSWORTH AND THE STRAND. EVENTS AND CLASSES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN CONTINUED APACE WITH A THREE-SESSION ART CAMP OVER THE APRIL VACATION PERIOD CALLED "CREATING OUTSIDE THE BOX, AND TWO FAMILY ACTIVITY DAYS (APRIL'S "SPRING SUNCATCHERS AND MAY'S "A MOTHER'S DAY BOUQUET"). ALL OF THESE ACTIVITIES WERE HELD IN THE VERSATILE GAMBLE EDUCATION CENTER ACROSS FROM THE WYETH CENTER. CONTINUING EDUCATION IS A FOCUS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT AND THAT INCLUDES HANDS-ON, ART-MAKING ACTIVITIES FOR ADULTS. THE VARIETY OF STUDIO CLASSES FOR ADULTS WHO ARE ON DIFFERENT POINTS ALONG THE ARTISTIC SPECTRUM UNDERSCORE THE RANGE OF PROGRAMMING: "NARRATIVE PAINTING," "AN INTRODUCTION TO WATERCOLOR," "ODES, CURSES & SELFIES: POETRY WRITING WORKSHOP, AND "LINOLEUM BLOCK PRINTING." TO GET A BEHIND- THE- SCENES PEEK AT WHERE AND HOW LOCAL PRACTICING ARTISTS WORK, THE DEPARTMENT ORGANIZED "THE STUDIO CRAWL," CO-HOSTED BY THE COLLECTIVE, DURING WHICH SIXTEEN PARTICIPANTS VISITED FOUR ARTISTS' STUDIOS ALONG THE MIDCOAST. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | FOURTH QUARTER (7/1/15-9/30/15) THROUGHOUT THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS YEAR (JULY - SEPTEMBER), THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT STAFF WAS VERY BUSY DELIVERING PROGRAMS IN OUR PUBLIC SPACES ACROSS THE CAMPUS. MANY VISITORS LEARNED MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITION MAINE COLLECTS: TREASURES FROM MAINE'S PRIVATE COLLECTIONS BY ATTENDING TALKS BY FARNSWORTH CURATORS AND GOING ALONG WITH DOCENTS ON GUIDED TOURS. MOREOVER, OVER 140 ATTENDEES DELVED FURTHER INTO MAINE COLLECTS DURING FOUR PUBLIC LECTURES IN THE AUDITORIUM: PLAINS INDIAN WAR SHIRTS, PANEL DISCUSSION COLLECTING: PASSION OR OBSESSION?, FROM TRASH TO TREASURE: WHAT ARTISTS COLLECT, AND ALL THE WORLD'S A STAGE: ART AND IMAGE IN THE FIRST MODERN ATLAS. OFF-SITE, A RELATED PROGRAM GAVE ATTENDEES INSIGHTS INTO THE WORLD OF ART AUCTIONS; 25 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN COLLECTING ART AND ANTIQUES: A SPECIAL TOUR OF THOMASTON PLACE AUCTION GALLERIES. FOR EXHIBITIONS OTHER THAN MAINE COLLECTS, THERE WERE TOURS AND OTHER PROGRAMS. FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE ANDY AND KOSTI EXHIBITION, WE PRESENTED AN ILLUSTRATED TALK BY ART HISTORIAN AND CURATOR MELISSA RENN TITLED LIFE IN THE ART WORLD: LIFE MAGAZINE AND MODERN AMERICA ART. THERE ARE ALWAYS PAINTINGS OF WYETH ARTISTS ON DISPLAY, AND FOR SEVEN YEARS THE FARNSWORTH HAS BEEN THE ONLY MUSEUM TO PRESENT A WYETH DAY EVENT TO COINCIDE WITH ANDREW WYETH'S BIRTHDAY ON JULY 12. THIS YEAR DR. TIMOTHY J. STANDRING, GATES FOUNDATION CURATOR OF PAINTING & SCULPTURE AT THE DENVER ART MUSEUM, GAVE A TALK TITLED MESSY PAINTING AND FLEETING MOMENTS: THE STUDIO PRACTICE OF ANDREW AND JAMIE WYETH. THE TALK WAS A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE MAJOR EXHIBITION DR. STANDRING WAS ORGANIZING FOR VENUES IN DENVER AND ABROAD. DURING THIS QUARTER, FARNSWORTH FILM SERIES WERE POPULAR AMONG A WIDE AND VARIED AUDIENCE. THERE WAS SOLID ATTENDANCE FOR IRIS (A DOCUMENTARY BY FAMOUS FILMMAKER ALBERT MAYSLES ABOUT THE STYLE MAVEN IRIS APFEL) AND LA SAPIENZA (A STORY OF AN ARCHITECT AND A STUDENT WHO GO TO ROME IN SEARCH OF THE SECRETS OF THE BAROQUE ARCHITECT BORROMINI). ONCE AGAIN, THE FARNSWORTH ORIGINAL, SHORT ART FILM SERIES ROCKLAND SHORTS DREW PRAISE FOR ITS QUESTING ASSORTMENT OF INNOVATIVE FILMS. LASTLY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COLLECTIVE, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT STAFF PUT ON THE SECOND INTERNET CAT VIDEO FAIR AND FESTIVAL TO THE DELIGHT OF OVER 500 SPECTATORS. OVER THE SUMMER, THE FARNSWORTH OFFERED TWO STUDIO CLASSES FOR YOUTH: ART FOR CREATIVE KIDS AND 2015 ARTSCAPES: ANIMAL-MORPHIC PORTRAITS. "IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START," SO WITH THAT AS OUR MOTTO THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT INITIATED A NEW SERIES OF WORKSHOPS FOR AGES 2 TO 6 CALLED COMMUNITY KINDERCRAFTS. CONDUCTED BY THE ASHWOOD WALDORF SCHOOL, THE MUSEUM PLAYS HOST TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR BETH LUNT WHO WORKS WITH THE CHILDREN ON SIMPLE AND FUN ART PROJECTS. AS THE RESULT OF A FARNSWORTH STUDENT CLASS, A 134-FOOT MURAL WAS COMPLETED IN JULY ON THE NORTH WALL OF PLANET TOYS ON OAK STREET IN ROCKLAND. MIDDLE-AND-HIGH-SCHOOL STUDENTS WORKED OVER THREE WEEKS ON THE MURAL WITH THREE PROFESSIONAL MURAL ARTISTS, LED BY COMMUNITY ARTIST ALEXIS IAMMARINO. THE MURAL'S ABSTRACT DESIGN WAS A RESPONSE IN PART TO NEARBY ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND COLORS THAT EXIST ON OAK STREET, AS WELL AS TO HISTORIC COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS OF MAIN STREET ROCKLAND IN THE 1950S. OVER THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD, THE FARNSWORTH OFFERED MANY ADULT STUDIO CLASSES IN WHICH ESTABLISHED AND BUDDING ARTISTS TRIED NEW TECHNIQUES AND STYLES. A LIST OF THE TITLE OF THE CLASSES GIVES SOME SUGGESTION OF THE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCES: LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN SOUTH BRISTOL, BETWEEN THE LINES POETRY WRITING WORKSHOP, DRAWING AND PAINTING, WHITE-LINE WOODBLOCK PRINTMAKING, INTRODUCTION TO NATURAL FABRIC DYEING AND SHIBORI. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B | SCHOOL AND TEACHER PROGRAM FIRST QUARTER (10/1/14-12/31/14) DUE TO THE START OF SCHOOL, THE FALL IS TYPICALLY A BUSY TIME FOR STUDENT TOURS AT THE FARNSWORTH. THE FALL WAS NO DIFFERENT. IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, WE SAW A 47% INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO TOURED THE FARNSWORTH (940 STUDENTS IN 2013, 1,383 IN 2014). THIS IS DUE TO THE ONGOING GOOD WORK OF EDUCATION COORDINATOR FOR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS DENISE MITCHELL IN THE AREA OF PROMOTING OUR TOUR OFFERINGS, AND THE UNSWERVING DEDICATION OF OUR DOCENT CORPS. INDEED, THE FARNSWORTH DOCENTS ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR SCHOOL-VISIT PROGRAM, AS WELL AS OUR GROWING ADULT TOURS PROGRAM. THE FALL SAW THE CONTINUATION OF "STORIES OF THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE: AN ARTS-INTEGRATED SCHOOL INITIATIVE FOR MIDCOAST MAINE." "STORIES" IS A DEEP PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE FARNSWORTH AND 17 CLASSROOMS TOTALLING 243 STUDENTS. THESE STUDENTS OVER THE FALL MONTHS VISITED THE MUSEUM FOR KICK-OFF EXPERIENCES, WORKED WITH PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE CLASSROOMS, WENT ON PHOTOGRAPHY FIELDTRIPS UP AND DOWN THE COAST, AND LEARNED ABOUT ARTS-INTEGRATION FROM THEIR TEACHERS. WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THEIR TEACHERS AND THE FARNSWORTH EDUCATION PROJECT MANAGER ANDREA CURTIS, THE STUDENTS ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THEIR PROJECTS THAT WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE MUSEUM ON MAY 17 AND THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. THE EDUCATION PROJECT MANAGER ALSO ORGANIZED AND CONDUCTED WEEKLY COHORT MEETINGS OPENED TO ALL MAINE TEACHERS. IN THESE MEETINGS, OFTEN SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKERS SPOKE TO THE TEACHERS ABOUT THEIR AREAS OF EXPERTISE, ALWAYS IN THE GALLERIES AND CLASSROOMS OF THE MUSEUM. OTHER ONCE AGAIN, THE EDUCATION STAFF MEMBERS WORKED CLOSELY WITH OTHERS IN THE MUSEUM IN ORDER TO PRODUCE THE BEST QUALITY PROGRAMS, SUCH AS "FALL FAMILY FESTIVAL," "SHARE THE WONDER," "MASK AND PUPPET-MAKING WORKSHOPS," ETC. MOREOVER, THE STAFF MEMBERS ALSO WORKED CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE, SUCH AS EDUCATION COORDINATOR FOR LECTURES AND CLASSES KELLY FINLAY'S WORK AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE FARNSWORTH FOR PECHA KUCHA NIGHT, HELD IN NOVEMBER IN THE STRAND. FROM OCTOBER THROUGH DECEMBER, THE STAFF MEMBERS WORKED HARD ON END-OF-YEAR DONATIONS AND GRANTS; THE RESULTS OF THIS EFFORT WAS SATISFYING TO SEE AS THE NEW YEAR BEGAN. SECOND QUARTER (1/1/15-3/31/15) JANUARY THROUGH MARCH 2015 SAW A DECREASE FROM THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO WENT THROUGH THE FARNSWORTH GALLERIES ON GUIDED TOURS. GRANTED, THE WEATHER PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THIS; MANY SCHEDULED SCHOOL TOURS HAD TO BE CANCELLED DUE TO ICE AND SNOW. ANOTHER FACTOR, HOWEVER, WAS THAT THE EXHIBITIONS ON DISPLAY DID NOT CAPTURE THE IMAGINATION OF THE TEACHERS AS HAD LAST YEAR'S EXHIBITION OF THE WIZARD OF OZ. AS ALWAYS, THE DOCENTS GAVE THE MANY TOURS WE DID CONDUCT, AND THEY CONTINUED THEIR EDUCATIONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE BI-MONTHLY MEETINGS. THE WEATHER ALSO HAD AN IMPACT ON SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH STORIES OF THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE. BE THAT AS IT MAY, THIS COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM BETWEEN THE FARNSWORTH AND SIX PUBLIC SCHOOLS - IN ITS FOURTH YEAR - MOVED FORWARD. STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WORKED ON THEIR PROJECTS AND WENT ON EDUCATIONAL FIELD TRIPS AROUND THE REGION. MOREOVER, THE PLANNING AND CULLING OF MATERIALS BEGAN FOR THE EXHIBITION IN THE FARNSWORTH SCHEDULED FOR MAY 17. THE WEEKLY AFTERNOON WORKSHOP IN THE MUSEUM FOR TEACHERS CALLED THE COHORT CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THIS PERIOD, HIGHLIGHTED BY GUEST SPEAKERS IN OUR GALLERIES AND CLASSROOMS. OTHER IN RELATION TO THE SHAKER EXHIBITION, THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT PROMOTED AND PROVIDED MEMBER DISCOUNTS TO EVERYMAN REPERTORY THEATRE'S PRODUCTION OF THE SHAKER PLAY AS IT ITS IN HEAVEN. THE DEPARTMENT HOSTED A MEETING FOR MAINE ARTS ASSESSMENT CONDUCTED BY THE MAINE ARTS COMMISSION, AND ALSO HOSTED A MEETING FOR A DOZEN AP ART TEACHERS IN THE AUDITORIUM. SOLICITATION FOR FUNDING FROM FOUNDATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS MOVED ALONG, AS STRATEGIES WERE SET FOR 2015. THIRD QUARTER (4/1/15-6/30/15) DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION IN AND AROUND THE FARNSWORTH, THE MUSEUM WAS CLOSED FROM MID-APRIL TO MID-MAY, THUS IMPACTING THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL GROUPS COMING FOR GUIDED TOURS (FROM 35 DURING THE SAME QUARTER IN 2014 TO 20 IN 2015). THE DOCENTS DID THEIR USUAL EXCELLENT JOB CONDUCTING THE STUDENTS WHO DID ATTEND PRIOR TO THE CLOSING AND AFTER THE REOPENING. MANY TEACHERS ATTENDED THE FAM COHORT MEETINGS ON WEDNESDAYS AND EXPERIENCED A WORKSHOP ON MOVEMENT WITH THREE EDUCATORS FROM BALTIMORE, CALLED DANCE EXCHANGE, WHO SPECIALIZE IN WORKING WITH NOT-FOR-PROFITS. PLANNING CONTINUED ON THE UPCOMING LINCOLN CENTER EDUCATION SUMMER WORKSHOP SLATED FOR JULY 27 - 30. STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND FAMILY FRIENDS FILLED THE STRAND FOR THE "STORIES OF THE LAND" EXHIBITION OPENING ON MAY 17TH. IN ITS FOURTH YEAR, "STORIES" SAW THE PARTICIPATION OF 245 STUDENTS FROM SIX SCHOOLS. A NEW VIDEO WAS PRODUCED WHICH SHOWED A SAMPLE OF 7TH GRADE STUDENTS REFLECTING BACK ON THE 4TH-GRADE "STORIES" EXPERIENCES. THE EDUCATION STAFF BEGAN WORK ON TWO TYPES OF EXPANSION OF THE "STORIES" PROJECT: 1) STORIES: ONLINE IS GOING TO ALLOW MANY MORE TEACHERS ACCESS TO LESSON PLANS DEVELOPED FOR "STORIES AND OTHER RESOURCES, 2) STORIES: SEMESTER WILL ALLOW SCHOOLS FARTHER AFIELD TO PARTICIPATE IN A MODIFIED "STORIES" PROGRAM. OTHER ONGOING STRATEGIZING AND ABOUT SOLICITING OF FUNDING CONTINUED THROUGH THE THREE MONTH PERIOD. FOR EXAMPLE, THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE CO-CHAIRS AND THE DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION PLANNED THE SUMMER "STORIES" BEHIND-THE SCENES LUNCHEONS FOR JULY AND AUGUST. FOURTH QUARTER (7/1/15-9/30/15) ONE OF THE MAINSTAYS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS THE DOCENT CORPS, MADE-UP OF 25 VOLUNTEER-GUIDES. OVER THE QUARTER, THE DOCENTS GAVE A WIDE VARIETY OF TOURS: BUS COMPANY TOURS, CRUISE LINE TOURS, HIGHLIGHT TOURS, SPECIAL GALLERY TOURS, AND STUDENT TOURS (FOR A TOTAL OF OVER 1,800 VISITORS). IN SEPTEMBER, THE DOCENTS RESUMED THEIR TWICE-MONTHLY MEETINGS. IN JULY, THE FARNSWORTH CONDUCTED THE SIXTH-YEAR OF THE LINCOLN CENTER EDUCATION (LCE) PARTNERSHIP WITH A NEW WRINKLE. FARNSWORTH EDUCATION COORDINATOR DENISE MITCHELL ASSUMED THE ROLE OF SOLE TEACHING ARTIST (TA) FOR THIS FOUR-DAY WORKSHOP FOR 17 EDUCATORS. LCE'S TENESH WEBBER WAS THE TA FACILITATOR AND WORKED WITH DENISE TO DELIVER AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE FOR ALL ATTENDEES. THE LINCOLN CENTER EDUCATION WORKSHOP IS THE MUSEUM'S WAY OF PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE SUMMER. COMPLEMENTING THE WORKSHOP IS MONTHLY INSTRUCTION IN THE GALLERIES OF THE MUSEUM BEGINNING IN SEPTEMBER AND RUNNING THROUGH THE ACADEMIC YEAR. WE CALL THIS PROGRAM FARNSWORTH EDUCATOR COHORT. FILLED WITH GALLERY AND ART-MAKING EXPERIENCES, COHORT MEETINGS OCCUR EVERY WEDNESDAY AND ARE LED BY THE FARNSWORTH ARTS-IN-EDUCATION PROGRAM MANAGER ANDREA CURTIS, WHO BRINGS IN GUEST SPEAKERS WHEN APPROPRIATE. MOREOVER, ANDREA HEADS-UP OUR STORIES OF THE LAND AND ITS PEOPLE PROGRAM, IN ITS FIFTH YEAR. IN AUGUST, STORIES BEGAN WITH AN ALL-DAY TEACHER WORKSHOP, KICKING-OFF THIS YEAR'S ARTS-INTEGRATED INITIATIVE WITH 6 SCHOOLS, 30 EDUCATORS AND AROUND 300 STUDENTS. DUE TO GENEROUS FUNDING FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, BOTH FOUNDATIONAL AND PRIVATE, STORIES WILL EXPAND WITH WHAT WE ARE CALLING STORIES: SEMESTER, A PROGRAM TAILOR-MADE FOR SCHOOLS THAT WANT TO MAKE A FOUR-MONTH-LONG COMMITMENT AS OPPOSED TO THE MUCH LONGER ORIGINAL STORIES. DUE TO THE EXPANSION, THE FARNSWORTH HAS HIRED MARGARET RIZZIO AS ASSISTANT MANAGER FOR STORIES. OTHER OVER THE SUMMER PERIOD, FUNDING SOLICITATION WAS ONGOING AND INTENSIVE, HIGHLIGHTED BY THREE STORIES TOUR/LUNCHEONS FOR POTENTIAL SUPPORTERS. |
