DIRECTOR’S LETTER Dear Esteemed Friends, What a truly spectacular and awe-inspiring fiscal year it has been for us at the Albany Museum of Art! As we reflect on our journey, my heart swells with profound gratitude and boundless pride for the remarkable achievements we’ve realized together. It is with an overflowing sense of joy that I present to you the extraordinary highlights and impact of the past year; all made possible through your unwavering support and dedication.

Our Devotion to Artistry: Our dedicated curatorial team has masterfully crafted a tapestry of exhibitions that have delighted and deeply moved our cherished visitors. From contemporary masterpieces that spark the imagination to treasures from our African collections that speak to the soul of humanity, each exhibition has unveiled a distinctive and profound perspective on art, culture, and the human spirit.

Inspiring Education: The Education and Public Programming Department has expanded its horizons, reaching out with various educational programs that have touched many lives. Through workshops, lectures, and outreach initiatives, we’ve sown the seeds of art appreciation and witnessed its transformative magic touch students, educators, and lifelong learners alike.

Embracing Innovation: This year, we adopted the power of technology to bridge the gaps and connect with a global audience. Virtual tours, online exhibitions, and interactive experiences have transcended the limitations of physical boundaries, ensuring that art remains accessible to all, transcending geographical constraints and personal circumstances.

Community Bonds: Our collaborations with local schools, businesses, and cultural organizations have fortified our bonds with the community. Together, we have birthed programs and initiatives that address shared challenges, embrace underserved populations, and celebrate our rich cultural heritage.

Philanthropic Power: The unwavering generosity of our cherished donors, members, and partners has been the driving force behind our monumental achievements. Their steadfast faith in our vision has empowered us to push the boundaries of excellence and extend the horizons of our future.

Championing Dedication: None of these awe-inspiring accomplishments would have been feasible without the tireless dedication and unquenchable passion of our exceptional staff and volunteers. Their unwavering commitment to our mission has been the bedrock of our success, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

A Radiant Future: As we cast our gaze forward, we are excited at the boundless possibilities the future holds. With your enduring support, we envision a museum that not only enriches lives through art but also serves as a catalyst for positive change in our community and far beyond.

On behalf of the entire Albany Museum of Art Family, I extend our deepest and most heartfelt appreciation for your unwavering belief in our mission and the transformative potential of art. Together, we shall continue to forge a cultural legacy that leaves an indelible and radiant mark upon the world.

I am sharing a comprehensive report offering insight into our achievements and financial performance for your reference.

EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMING ANNIE VANOTEGHEM DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND PUBLIC PROGRAMMING

AMA FREE FIELD TRIPS This year, field trips to the AMA were as accessible and inclusive as ever, with no charge to those who visited. Each trip experienced an educator-led, STEAM-based, and personal tour and scavenger hunt of the galleries as well as a hands-on art project in the classroom. Art education is of utmost importance in grade school, as it plays a crucial role in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness among young students. Our trips provide an invaluable opportunity for these young minds to explore and appreciate various forms of artistic expression. By immersing themselves in the vibrant world of art, students can develop a deeper understanding of different cultures, historical periods, and artistic techniques. Moreover, these field trips allow students to engage with original artworks, encouraging them to think critically, express their

In pursuit of our mission to foster art education and appreciation, we launched an ambitious range of public programs and educational initiatives. These programs have catered to audiences of all ages and backgrounds, nurturing a deeper understanding of art and its relevance in our lives. Our collaborations with local schools and community organizations have been particularly rewarding, as we extend our reach beyond the museum walls and create lasting connections with our diverse community. Some of the programming highlights of this past fiscal year include: 10

HOMETOWN BLACK HEROES FAMILY DAY Nearly 200 community members joined us for a morning of art to honor six Hometown Black Heroes with song, dance, and poetry as they received long overdue honors for their social justice and civil rights work. Honorees were the Hon. Herbert Phipps, Rutha Harris, Charles and Shirley Sherrod, Darrell Sabbs, and Frank Wilson. Those attending also were invited to view the exhibition Fighters

for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice which inspired this special Family Day event. Our thanks to those who participated in the program: the Dougherty High School Chorale, directed by Jaton Johnson; Albany State University dance student Zaria Davis; the Saints of God House of Worship Choir; poet Cathy Wilson Johnson, and Freedom Singer Rutha Harris, who also sang at the event.

GEORGIA GRANTMAKERS ALLIANCE & UNITED WAY OF SOUTHWEST GEORGIA Metro Albany students traveled with the Albany Museum of Art to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens to participate in a panel discussion on Nov 29 at the Georgia Grantmakers Alliance conference. During the panel, these students discussed the impact of the AMA’s Courageous Conversations About Race program. Participants in the discussion at the Georgia Grantmakers Alliance conference were Brianna McCoy, Dougherty High School student; Anna Plowden, Westover High School graduate; Sophie Singleton, Deerfield-Windsor School student; Jovi Hall, DWS student; Leeann Feng, Lee County High School student; Jayla Carmichael, DHS student, and Tobias Brown, DHS student. During their presentation, the students broached the uncomfortable and tough conversations that are necessary, illustrating the importance of the conversations continuing and growing in Albany. The AMA plans to expand this program to teachers, college students, and community leaders with the support of the United Way of Southwest Georgia.

cultures. This exposure can foster empathy, tolerance, and a more inclusive worldview. 3. Developing critical thinking skills: The AMA encourages teenagers to analyze and interpret artworks. This process involves critical thinking, observation, and reflection, which can enhance their analytical and problem-solving abilities. Engaging with art also encourages them to question and challenge established norms and ideas. 4. Enhancing visual literacy: The AMA helps teenagers develop visual literacy skills, which are essential in today’s visually-oriented world. By studying and interpreting visual artworks, they can learn to analyze and understand visual information, symbols, and aesthetics.5. Fostering personal growth: Engaging with art can be a transformative experience for teenagers.

CURATORIAL AFFAIRS KATIE DILLARD WALTER AND FRANCES BUNZL FAMILY FOUNDATION DIRECTOR OF CURATORIAL AFFAIRS As we conclude fiscal year 2023, I am delighted to share with you the resounding success and achievements of the Curatorial Department over the past twelve months.

Throughout the year, we worked tirelessly to curate and present a diverse array of exhibitions that captivated and enriched our visitors. The response from the public has been overwhelmingly positive, and we have witnessed an increase in footfall and engagement at our museum.

This year, we successfully confirmed twenty-six months’ worth of exhibitions, rebuilding the exhibition schedule and encompassing a vast array of artists’ perspectives, themes, and histories to share with the Southwest Georgia community. As of May 24, 2023, all of the returning shipment containers of treated collection items from the Conservation Center in Chicago have been opened. That’s approximately 1,260 objects from 65 containers that have been identified and placed into existing museum storage.

Since their arrival on April 7, 2022, it took one year and seven weeks to sort through while also curating, installing, and deinstalling ten exhibitions, co-organizing several exhibit-related lectures and events, and participating in one Building Museum’s Conference presentation, one ChalkFest, and one Art Ball.

Partnerships with higher learning institutions offer mutual advantages by fostering creativity, research, education, and public engagement. These collaborations serve to invigorate the Museum’s offerings, deepen academic understanding, and broaden the cultural horizon for both institutions and their communities. That is why the Museum was thrilled to have three curatorial interns this past year, and great behind-the-scenes visits with colleges across Southwest Georgia. These open doors to future collections-based learning opportunities.

As we celebrate the achievements of the past year, we also look ahead with enthusiasm and optimism. The foundation we have laid will serve as a stepping stone for even greater accomplishments in the future. We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and remain committed to pushing the boundaries of curatorial excellence.

We look forward to sharing more exciting developments with you in the coming year. Thank you once again for your continued belief in our mission and the transformative power of art.

MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS JIM HENDRICKS DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS

In March, the AMA revealed its brand overhaul, with a fresh, powerful logo; a new color palette; updated signage, and a completely redesigned website. This new look gives a stronger first impression while capturing the energy and vitality of the museum as it moves forward. The rebranding embodies the AMA’s efforts to increase awareness and visibility, encourage audience engagement, promote exciting exhibitions and programs, and provide a vital cultural resource to the community.

Key takeaways from the fiscal year include:

BRAND VISIBILITY AND RECOGNITION With only one opportunity for a first impression, our team has elevated the AMA’s brand visibility and recognition with the public. We implemented a comprehensive branding strategy that was developed over many months, one designed to ensure a consistent message in all media formats. The branding is evident on the AMA website, signage, and social media channels, as well as in the museum’s magazine, news releases, and promotional materials.

SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT Our social media presence has grown significantly over the past year, with a sharp increase in followers and engagement rates. We use social media platforms to share engaging content, intriguing behind-the-scenes glimpses, and interactive campaigns, fostering a sense of community among our audience.

MEDIA RELATIONS Our proactive media relations approach has resulted in extensive coverage in both local and national media outlets. Through strategic news releases, media pitches, and media partnerships, we have successfully promoted our organization, communicated our goals and ideals, and created awareness about our exhibitions, educational programs, and special events.

14

METRICS AND ANALYTICS Using a data-driven approach to effectively measure the impact of our marketing, we closely monitor key performance indicators, such as website traffic, social media metrics, event attendance, and media mentions.

This enables us to assess the success of our initiatives

plan is instrumental in providing real, timely information that prevents uninformed speculation during challenging events. This, in turn, builds trust and confidence with our stakeholders and the public.

WEBSITE REDESIGN The AMA website, www.albanymuseum.com, is in many ways the “front door” of the museum, especially to those outside the immediate community. To improve the experience of interacting with the museum online, the website was completely redesigned on a new, more robust platform. The website, which took months to create, incorporates the new branding at every level, and is more user-friendly, visually appealing, and mobile-responsive.

OPERATIONS JAZZ KENDRICK DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

In a challenging but rewarding year, our team has made great progress in achieving our goals and serving our community.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE One of our primary goals is to provide an outstanding visitor experience, and I am pleased to report that we have made significant strides in this area. We welcomed 10,120 visitors to the Museum and AMA events in FY 2023. There also were sixteen private rentals held at the facility.

FACILITY MAINTENANCE Our facility is the backbone of our operations, and we have made significant investments in its maintenance and improvement. A new cleaning crew has performed well, keeping the facility clean for visitors. We also have implemented a proactive maintenance program to ensure that our facility is well-maintained and fully operational.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT Our staff is our greatest asset, and we are committed to investing in its development and growth. In 2022-23, we provided professional development opportunities for our staff, including training in customer service. We have also implemented a performance management system to provide regular feedback and recognition to our staff.

LOOKING AHEAD As we look ahead to the next year, we are excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We will continue to focus on providing an outstanding visitor experience, maintaining our facility, and investing in our staff.

DEVELOPMENT CHLOE HINTON

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

Fundraising plays a pivotal role in the success and sustainability of the Museum.

It is the lifeblood that fuels the missiondriven work and enables the Museum to create a positive impact on individuals, communities, and society at large.

The funds secured this year have allowed the Museum to develop and expand its programs, provide vital services, conduct research, and tackle pressing issues. Additionally, it has helped the AMA forge strong connections with its supporters, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. Donations, grants, and contributions from generous individuals, corporations, and foundations demonstrate a collective commitment to making a difference and bring diverse stakeholders together for a common cause.

This year we celebrate record-breaking fundraising efforts.

With tremendous support, Art Ball 2023 grossed $178,000, outperforming all fundraising goals for previous Art Balls and making 21% more than was originally planned.

ChalkFest 2022 brought in more new partnerships than the previous four years. The AMA team has fostered these meaningful partnerships with local businesses, foundations, and community leaders, who share our commitment to creating positive change. Together, we have collaborated on impactful projects that have enriched the lives of our community members.

In an exciting and major undertaking we chose to phase out the membership giving model and replace it with an annual donation program. This is a mutually beneficial program for the AMA and our donors. A donation-based approach can be more inclusive, as it allows individuals from all economic backgrounds to contribute based on their means. This can attract a broader and more diverse donor base, promoting a sense of belonging and engagement within the community. The support also becomes 100% tax deductible. By focusing solely on donations, we can encourage donors to contribute regularly and build a long-term commitment to supporting the cause. Regular donations can provide stability and predictability in funding.

Communication with donors can be more straightforward when there are no membership tiers to manage, and we can focus on sharing the impact, stories of beneficiaries, and upcoming projects. Without the perceived benefits tied to membership levels, donors who contribute solely through
