Dear Munson Community, Recently, our conversations have centered on the future vision for Munson. In one exercise with the leadership team, and separately with trustees, individuals were asked to quickly name three words that came to mind when someone said “Munson.” Art, excellence, creativity, inspiration, and welcoming were all mentioned many times, but the most prevalent word in both sessions was COMMUNITY. Munson is here for you.

The New Year is a time of resolutions and fresh starts. In 2024, I invite you to make a resolution to try a new experience at Munson. Warm up on a cold afternoon with an opera, like Carmen on Jan. 27, or bring your children or grandchildren to the free Art Alive! on Feb. 22 to enjoy a dynamic performance with Hot Peas N’ Butter and an opportunity for self-expression with hands-on art activities. Why not register for the Community Arts class you’ve been thinking about for years, or try a new class?

However you join us on the Munson campus, we are here to welcome you and to create experiences that bring all of our community together.

Wishing you a healthy and art-filled New Year!

Anna T. D'Ambrosio President and CEO

CURATOR'S CORNER

MUNSON WELCOMES DR. ELIZABETH WELCH AS NEW ASSISTANT CURATOR

After an extensive national search, American art specialist Elizabeth Welch, Ph.D., has been named Assistant Curator of American Art. An established scholar of American painting, sculpture, and works on paper, she brings a wealth of museum and teaching experience to Munson’s renowned collection of American art from the 1780s to the early 1900s.

A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., Dr. Welch holds advanced degrees from the University of Texas at Austin, where she was awarded an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship at the Blanton Museum of Art. She later served as a research assistant at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City before moving into undergraduate teaching at Providence College in Rhode Island.

She has worked on subjects as diverse as the interplay between dance and art, photography’s relationship to sculpture, and the modern fascination with death and the human body (for which she received critical acclaim from both Hyperallergic and The New York Times). She has also authored studies of important 20th-century art patron Lincoln Kirstein and artists George Platt Lynes and Joseph Cornell.

In addition to leading the Museum of Art's efforts to diversify its collection of 19th- and early 20th-century American art, Dr. Welch will oversee exhibitions and installations of American art that resonate with new interpretations.

“I am thrilled to join the Munson community,” Dr. Welch said. “The opportunity to build on the Museum’s existing strengths while highlighting the contemporary importance and diversity of American art is a dream.”

Dr. Elizabeth Welch is one of America’s new generation of visitorcentered curators, eager to rethink accepted ways of looking at American art to make this important national legacy relevant to an audience of both today and tomorrow.

Please join us in welcoming Elizabeth and her husband to Utica!

– Stephen Harrison, Director and Chief Curator

IN MEMORIUM

DR. WILLIAM L. BOYLE, JR.

We commemorate and honor the invaluable impact of former Munson Trustee William L. Boyle Jr., Ph.D., who passed away November 10. Dr. Boyle joined the Board in 2008 and was as an active trustee through 2016. He served as Board secretary and participated on the Museum of Art and School of Art advisory committees. Dr. Boyle was a Munson Member for over 30 years.

A retired college president with a doctorate from Columbia University, Dr. Boyle valued education. In 2008 he shared his passion for education by generously establishing the Dr. William L. Boyle Jr. Scholarship Endowment “to aid worthy students from Utica and surrounding areas who possess the talent and exhibit the promise of benefitting from formal classes in the Pratt [Munson] program.” The endowment has helped many students attain a Pratt degree, launching them to successful careers and it will continue to benefit generations to come.

Born in Utica in 1934, Dr. Boyle cherished his childhood home and friends. He treasured all that Utica offered, serving on numerous local boards and enjoying his retirement years back home. His deep affection for our community is even reflected in the wording of his endowed scholarship: “It is hoped the recipients will return to the area after completing their baccalaureate degree.”

Dr. William L. Boyle Jr.

Personally, I came to know Bill when he joined the Board, and we bonded over his deep fondness for Munson and his belief in and support of the arts and education. Bill was active and social, attending hundreds of Munson events over the years. He felt at home in the Museum, dropping by offices to say hello to many staff members. He was encouraging, supportive, and always had a kind word to say and a good story to share. Bill was a true gentleman.

We will miss Dr. Boyle, and we are deeply appreciative of his support of Munson and the influence he has had on our organization. Most importantly, we value the gift of his friendship these many years.

– Anna Tobin D’Ambrosio, President and CEO

Between Worlds STORIES OF ARTISTS AND MIGRATION

ON VIEW FEB. 17 THROUGH MAY 5

Munson Museum of Art will soon present Between Worlds: Stories of Artists and Migration, opening February 15 with a festive Members Preview Reception. This provocative exhibition invites visitors to consider how people have settled and resettled throughout history, moving from their homelands to establish new lives in the United States, and how artists have responded.

Melvin Edwards (American, born 1937). Premonitions, 2007. Screenprint on paper. 23 3/4 x 17 3/4 in. Museum purchase, Mattatuck Museum. 2021.32.1

Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Cree/Shoshone, born 1940). Black Rock Mesa, 1989. Color lithograph on paper. 30 x 22 1/8 in. Museum purchase. 92.20

Between Worlds is the third in a series of exhibitions organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston through the Art Bridges Foundation that encourages regional museums to work with larger, more urban institutions on exhibitions. Previous shows in this series have included the Elihu Vedder exhibition from 2020 and a retrospective of Allan Rohan Crite’s mature work shown in 2021. Munson has co-organized Between Worlds with the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, Conn., along with assistance from the MFA. Works from all three institutions are featured in the exhibition to reflect the long histories of immigration that these communities share as resettlement centers today. The artworks also reveal ways for coping with physical and emotional instability while communicating both a sense of dislocation and disorientation as well as efforts to seek healing—even rebirth.

The artists and their stories in Between Worlds are varied: those whose ancestors were the Indigenous peoples of modern-day North America; those whose ancestors were forced to migrate as enslaved people from Africa; those who made the journey North in the Great Migration of African Americans in the early 1900s; and those who were immigrants to the United States from around the world in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Munson Museum of Art’s artworks form a core of the exhibition, including Louise Bourgeois’ masterful Spider II, and the recent acquisition There’s No Place Like Home by Shaunté Gates. Some artists are represented by multiple pieces from museum collections, such as Romare Bearden’s The Train and Before the First Whistle, from MFA Boston and Mattatuck Museum, respectively.

Come see this remarkable and thought-provoking exhibition, on view at Munson until May 5.

COMMUNITY ARTS

WELCOME NEW PHOTOGRAPHY INSTRUCTOR DADISI CURTIS, JR.

One of the newest faces at Pratt Munson is Dadisi Curtis Jr., who will help manage and maintain the college’s photography and printmaking studios. He will also teach two Community Arts classes this spring: Intro to Portrait Photography and The Stage is Yours: Intro to Staged Environment Photography.

Curtis holds an M.A. and M.F.A. from the University of Iowa, as well as a B.F.A. from Kent State University. He recently worked as the print fellow and master printer at Wassaic Project, an artist-run nonprofit contemporary art gallery, artist residency, and art education center in the hamlet of Wassaic, N.Y.

Curtis’s artistic practice extends beyond traditional printmaking, encompassing installation, fabric silkscreen, photography, and digital media. His work challenges systems of oppression, such as the prison industrial complex, Eurocentric beauty standards, and other systemic racial structures.

PRATT MUNSON FACULTY SPOTLIGHT

DANIEL BUCKINGHAM

Pratt Munson Professor of Sculpture Daniel Buckingham has been especially busy lately. His exhibition, Magic Carpet, is on display through February 1 at The Westwood, 4 Elements Studio's satellite gallery in downtown Utica, and after organizing the Elizabeth R. Lemieux Faculty Lecture Series at Pratt Munson for 18 years, he is finally giving the talk this year.

“I wanted to get it rolling down the road before me,” Buckingham said. “Everyone has had a chance to talk, and I felt it was time [for me].” Buckingham joined Pratt Munson in 1994 and helped build the relationship with the School of Art and Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, an official partnership since 1999. “Pratt would come up and recruit Munson School of Art students to transfer to Pratt and was doing that for years. We had a reputation for great, well-prepared students with good work ethics,” he said.

In addition to teaching at Pratt Munson, Buckingham has been creating and exhibiting art for more than 30 years. The artist says he is fascinated with history and "Journey to the Center of the Earth type stuff." His work often incorporates culturally significant elements like a Persian rug or prayer beads with neon that he makes by hand as a poetic statement about cultural exchange.

His passion for art history, archaeology, and anthropology was fueled during the eight-year, 65-country trip around the world he took by bicycle in the 1980s. “I had an urge to go on a quest and see in person what I was learning in art history books and to ride my bike through the history of art, literally,” he said. Buckingham will share this perspective during the 2024 Elizabeth R. Lemieux Faculty Lecture Series on Thursday, March 21, in the Sinnott Family – Bank of Utica Auditorium in the Museum of Art. The lecture is free and open to the public.

IN THE COMMUNITY PRATT MUNSON

We love seeing the work of our talented Pratt Munson students celebrated in the community.

Recently, creations by our students have been showcased by a local business (Utica Coffee), a nonprofit (2024 America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk), and at the groundbreaking of the new Artspace Lofts in downtown Utica.

Utica Coffee Enamel Mug

Munson partnered with Utica Coffee on a design contest exclusively for Pratt Munson students to create a "Utica-themed" design for an enamel mug that will be sold by Utica Coffee. More than 30 students submitted designs, with sophomore Rae-Lynn Shi’a winning the most votes in a public contest on Utica Coffee's social media pages.

2024 America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk

Sophomore Anniella Pettingill's logo was chosen to represent the 2024 America's Greatest Heart Run & Walk, and was celebrated at a launch party in November. The logo will be used on all promotional materials and the T-shirt for participants for the March 2 event.

Artspace Lofts and Gallery Groundbreaking

Sophomores Mika Leith and Isabel Mongiello created an artistic shovel titled "Building Blossoms," along with several other shovels by area artists for the groundbreaking ceremony of Artspace Lofts and Gallery in December. The shovels will be a part of a permanent display in the new loft-style building when they open in late fall 2024.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT

FRED AND CHERYL HARITATOS

Fred and Cheryl Haritatos describe Munson as a gem, and it’s one they've taken advantage of through art exhibitions, Concerts in the Court, the summer Arts Festival, and more. It’s also one they’ve given back to through Membership, Cheryl’s volunteer work as a docent, and as sponsors of Sporting Fashion: Outdoor Girls from 1800 to 1960. “We feel it's important to pay it forward,” Cheryl said. “And we don’t do it for the recognition. It’s just a way to be good citizens, and that’s important.”

Fred, with a background in engineering, said art was always on the back burner for him, but now he’s taking the opportunity to expand his horizons. He praised the breadth and variety of programming offered at Munson as well as the welcoming staff.

“We feel it's important to pay it forward. . . And we don’t do it for the recognition. It’s just a way to be good citizens, and that’s important.”

– Cheryl Haritatos

“It’s very accessible to come here and enjoy your time,” Fred said. “A lot of the art is, from my point of view, very thought-provoking.”

The docent program gave Cheryl a greater understanding of what she saw in Munson Museum of Art and in their travels.

“We always enjoyed museums, but learning more about art itself, we really value it,” she said. “And when we go into a museum now, we look at it through a different lens.” In addition to volunteer work and sponsorship, the Haritatos have long been Members, with Cheryl attributing the Museum’s free entry in part to its dedicated Membership. “There’s so many resources that are available and Membership here is so reasonable,” she said.

YOUR LEGACY AT MUNSON

Imagine making a decision today that will benefit your community for more than a century. We can make it easy – just look at present-day Munson! Our renowned performing arts programs, Community Arts classes, Pratt Munson College of Art and Design, and Museum of Art represent an incredible legacy to one of the leading families of our area.

As lofty as that sounds, the opportunity to create such a legacy is within reach for many Central New Yorkers. With a gift of $5,000 or more, you can establish an endowed fund at Munson that will benefit our programs for generations to come. Endowments can benefit the Museum of Art, performing arts programs, the Pratt Munson College Art and Design, or the Community Arts programs.

HOW CAN YOU ESTABLISH A LEGACY?

Outright gifts of cash or securities, including a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA (for those 70 1/2 and older) can establish an endowed fund immediately, allowing you to witness your impact year after year.

Planned gifts, such a charitable gift annuity, can provide you a return on your investment during your lifetime and revert the remainder to your designated purpose when you pass.

Estate gifts – through a portion of your estate or a designated amount – can have a significant impact on Munson.

Benefits designation (allocating any remainder on your retirement investments) is one of simplest and surest ways to support Munson. As with any estate, donors can allocate all of the remainder, a percentage, or a set dollar figure.

It is easy, gratifying, and meaningful to set up a planned gift as well as a great way to have a voice in your long-term impact on the community.

Please contact Director of Development John Murphy at 315-927-8523 or jdmurphy@munson.art to discuss options.
