Dear Friends of the Monterey Museum of Art As we look back at the connections made and at what we accomplished together during fiscal year 2019-2020, even during a pandemic and a time of social unrest, we are pleased to share our outcomes. Throughout the year, the Museum presented an array of programs, from youth and family programs to scholarly lectures and artist talks—with all programs complimenting the 25 spectacular exhibitions presented. In March 2020, we had to temporarily close our doors due to COVID-19, and it was then that we pivoted and launched virtual exhibitions and programs to lift up our community when it was most needed. With that, we are continuously evaluating our work so that we can be the best that we can be for our community, and that includes our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion— through our exhibitions, public programs, and collections, as well as with our staff, Board, and audiences. Learning, adapting, and innovating are all part of the work that we do, and our work is only made possible thanks to all of you: our partners, generous foundations, philanthropists, sponsors, and of course our dedicated Board of Trustees, volunteers, and staff. Thank you for your incredible commitment and support throughout the year.

Cultivating Curiosity in the Visual Arts In fiscal year 2020, the Museum presented a total of 25 exhibitions, presentations of the collection, and special installations— each bringing a new perspective to the MMA galleries for visitors to explore. Importantly, the variety of exhibitions inspired a robust calendar of education programs for all ages. On March 16, 2020, the Museum temporarily closed its doors due to COVID-19 restrictions, and although a few of MMA’s exhibitions came to an end earlier than planned, the Museum was able to adapt several of its Currents + FLUX exhibitions to a virtual format—providing beauty and hope to online visitors through the pandemic.

“Thank you so much for creating an opportunity to share my work during the pandemic and the Museum’s temporary closure. It would have been fantastic, a dream really, to have had an in-person show at the Museum. Of course I understand the challenges we have all been facing and the changes needed, so I really appreciate your efforts to connect and share my work with the Monterey County community—virtually. Thanks again for your continued efforts!”

Education and Community Engagement As one of the Museum’s top priorities, the Education team offered accessible arts education programs to people of all ages from throughout the region. We expanded our reach by partnering with community libraries, schools, and festivals to offer our Mobile Free Family Fun Days and continued growing Free Family Fun Days at the Museum as well. Likewise, attendance for our School Visit Program continued to increase. Total attendance for both programs was limited by the COVID-19 restrictions, however, had we been able to continue offering the programs through the end of the fiscal year, attendance for each would have surpassed the previous year. With that, from the first day of school shut downs, the MMA team shifted its focus to digital programming to ensure that arts programming remained accessible while the Museum’s doors were temporarily closed.

“

“My students are sons and daughters of mostly field workers, and most don't get to leave Salinas. The exposure to the Museum, artwork, and the guidance by the Museum Educators to look closely at the artworks was very enlightening.

The opportunity to create their own work afterwards helped tremendously to re-enforce the experience” STEVE HERMANN, 2nd Grade Teacher Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy, AUSD 7

“

“My class loved our visit to the Museum!

Many students said they loved the experience of painting like "real artists."

Most of my students are English Language Learners, and the staff did a great job explaining difficult concepts in a way that was easy for the students to understand. I appreciate that they used a lot of vocabulary with the students!”

SIDNEY CHOATE, 1st Grade Teacher Los Padres Elementary, SCESD

Education Highlights  MMA reached 2,835 children and families through Free Family Fun Day activities—an 56% increase in participation over same period (July – March) in the previous year. Additionally, after March 2020, MMA began offering Virtual Free Family Fun Days. The Museum offered two Virtual Free Family Fun Days (March – June) which served thousands of online visitors with each virtual event.  Our School Visit Program served 2,460 K-12 students by the time schools were required to shut down due to COVID-19. While we were unable to offer the School Visit Program for a complete school year, our final attendance was still an 18% increase in attendance over same period (July – March) in the previous year.  As a result of the shut downs, the Museum began offering #VirtualMMA—a variety of virtual arts learning programs and activities such as R.A.D. (Remote Art Days) which provided weekly art-making activities over social media, virtual artist talks and demonstrations, weekly blog posts, and more.

Expanding Engagement Through Partnerships To expand community engagement and maximize resources, the Museum partnered with a number of organizations and individuals throughout the year. From working with artists and businesses to offering programs that invite community dialogues to partnering with local libraries to offer Mobile Free Family Fun Day activities for families, partnerships benefitted all through shared expertise and resources.

“During the school year, I partnered with the Museum to help build a museum field trip tour that was purposefully designed to be accessible to the special education students of Monterey County. From my work within the special needs population, I have learned that there is often a great deal of pressure and anxiety for teachers and parents when they bring their students or children with special needs into a public setting, especially one in which there are often fragile pieces of art, to the point that they usually don't. The feedback for the tours was so positive, and teachers were grateful to feel welcomed and included, and they appreciated the attention to detail that the Museum took to accommodate their students varied needs. I was extremely impressed by the Museum's desire to learn how to expand access to the arts to underserved populations such as the special needs community, and look forward to continuing our work together.”
