FROM THE PRESIDENT

The Olana Partnership emerged from the historic challenges of 2020 more resilient, more programmatically creative and nimble, and more strategically mission-driven than ever. Fundamental to this success through adversity was the unflagging commitment of our staff, board, and supporters. From the start of the COVID-19 public health crisis, we resolved to do everything possible to retain all full-time staff. Ultimately, it was the remarkable outpouring of support from our board, members, and donors and the staff’s own self-sacrifice that combined with the federal Paycheck Protection Program and NYS Shared Work Program that ensured this outcome.

On March 13, in compliance with the NY Pause Executive Order, TOP suspended onsite programs. Faced with the loss of 85% of admissions revenue and 66% of projected fundraising revenue, we reduced all full-time staff to a 4-day / 80% salary work plan to preserve jobs and continue core development and curatorial work. Our educational and curatorial staff swiftly developed a suite of virtual programs, including two virtual lecture series, which reached over 4,000 viewers in 2020. On May 4, Frederic Church’s 194th birthday, TOP launched “THE OLANA EYE,” a livestream skycam of the iconic view from the top of Olana’s Studio Tower. In June, as soon as NYS guidelines allowed for outdoor programming, TOP launched three new outdoor tours, and in September we added limited access self-guided tours to the Main House historic interiors.

Throughout the pandemic, TOP partnered with New York State Parks to keep Olana’s landscape open and free for safe, socially distanced recreation, and more than 10,000 people a month found respite at Olana through the year. This experience has demonstrated the vision and ever-more critical necessity of our public-private partnership’s shared strategy to expand visitor access and experience to all of Olana as a holistic artist-designed environment.

This is the vision presented in Olana’s 2015 Strategic Landscape Design Plan that forms the basis for TOP and New York State Park’s joint commitment to complete the capital development projects it lays out. Despite the pandemic curveballs, in 2020 we completed the design for the Frederic Church Center and resumed our capital fundraising.

Remarkably, we conducted the last public input session for our new 5-year strategic plan on March 9. This enabled our committee, board, and staff to complete the plan in time for adoption at our Annual Meeting in January 2021. Next year’s report will provide full details, but its essence is a renewed commitment to preserving and interpreting all of Olana for as diverse and inclusive an audience as possible and to raising Olana’s national profile as the place where art and environmental history intersect to offer inspiration for today and tomorrow.

With immense gratitude for the support and commitment of our staff, board, members, supporters, and partners,

ABOUT THE OLANA PARTNERSHIP

The Olana Partnership (TOP) is an educational non-profit organization that operates in a public-private partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to preserve and interpret Olana State Historic Site, the master work of famed Hudson River School artist Frederic Church and a National Historic Landmark.

TOP’s predecessor, Olana Preservation, Inc., was formed in 1964 to save Olana from sale and destruction and in 1966 purchased the property and collections and conferred them to New York State. TOP itself was organized as a 501(c)3 non-profit under the name Friends of Olana in 1971 and adopted the current name in 2000. 2021 marks TOP’s 50th anniversary.

Over the past twenty years, TOP has worked hand-inhand with OPRHP to undertake the comprehensive restoration of Olana’s historic architecture and landscape and the protection of Olana’s integral viewshed. This has included: the installation of fire suppression and climate control systems in the main house; the replacement of the complex historic roofs of the main house; the restoration of Cosy Cottage, the Church’s original home on the property; the reconstruction of the historic Wagon House as an educational facility; and four major historic landscape restoration projects that have reopened landscape compositions that constitute the culminating master works of Church’s career. Throughout this time, TOP has led efforts to protect Olana’s integral viewshed that are a national model for such endeavors. Today, nearly 3,000 acres are protected for future generations.

TOP is extremely proud of our record of achievement and of the exceptional cultural experiences TOP provides for the tens of thousands who visit and engage each year. Through guided tours of the house and landscape, special exhibitions, educational offerings and other public programs, TOP provides unparalleled opportunities to engage the imagination; encourage creativity; and explore art, architecture and the environment.

VISITOR OPERATIONS & ENGAGEMENT

2020 was a year of unpredictability and change for The Olana Partnership’s role in interpreting Frederic Church’s Olana. While normal touring operations began January 1st, all touring operations ceased as of March 15th due to the Covid-19 pandemic and related mandates and requirements changing our operations. These changes would in effect completely change our touring and visitor services operations for all of year 2020.

The museum and tourism industry were particularly struck hard, and The Olana Partnership and historic site were not immune. While the site itself remained open as a public park and would see a massive increase in site attendance throughout the year as an outside getaway during the pandemic, touring was completely shut down from mid-March until mid-June and would not see normal

operations for the remainder of the year. During the closure, TOP launched a new 10-part video series which provided a virtual introduction to Olana’s landscape.

When TOP reopened visitor services and outdoor landscape touring operations in mid-June and Main House touring in October, it was on an atypical scaled back model to meet the Covid-19 gathering and attendee mandates and safety requirements. TOP engaged the public as best it could within these parameters so that it could remain open in some form for public visitor services and engagement. The goals of expanding interpretive programing and the integration of Church’s holistic vision for Olana for all visitors would have to be met in other forms and venues for the foreseeable future. Through a lot of thought, strategy and planning TOP resumed its operations to continue its mission despite the pandemic altering our operations.

Our public house and landscape tour options continued to holistically interpret Olana’s historic landscape and architecture and fine and decorative arts collections while preserving the public’s health and welfare. As a result, the visitor services team served 3,700 individuals on public landscape tours and 3,000 individuals in the main house during 2020. While 6,700 visitors served was of a significant change in comparison to 2019, TOP was able to remain open for limited touring operations the remainder of the year. This was significant in the 2020 epidemic climate, where many other museums and historic homes ceased operations. By the end of the year, many looked forward to putting 2020 in the rearview mirror and placed a new hope that 2021 would not only bring us back to some normalcy in our operations, but transform and rekindle our visitor engagement for the coming year.

EDUCATION & PUBLIC PROGRAMS

As the COVID crisis broke, TOP was completing a national search for a new Director of Education & Public Programs. We persevered, and Carolyn Keogh joined the staff on June 1. Ms. Keogh comes to TOP from the Guggenheim Museum with 9 years of experience in museum education with a specialty in school and youth programs.

In 2020, TOP served over 6,500 people with virtual and inperson education programs, including special family tours; virtual lectures; walking tours and special programs oriented around Olana’s landscape. While this year posed a series of challenges, TOP expanded virtual offerings to engage with the public throughout the pandemic. Our new virtual lecture

series, Olana Perspectives, featuring nationally-renowned scholars and curators reached over 4,000 viewers. TOP also piloted a new virtual conversation series, Olana After Hours, which covered a range of diverse topics in partnership with local businesses, including Nine Pin Ciderworks, Samascott Orchards, and the Pamela Salisbury Gallery, and advocacy and non-profit partners including: The Lenape Center, The Stockbridge-Munsee Department of Cultural Affairs, New York Historical Society, and Scenic Hudson. TOP also pivoted Creative Aging programming for participants 55+ to a virtual format, holding two Young at HeART courses digitally.

In addition to our virtual programs, TOP piloted a series of new outdoor programs to facilitate safe, socially-distanced engagement on site. New Family Explorer Tours provided intergenerational audiences with an opportunity to learn together outdoors and explore Olana through interactive activities and conversation. These tours were offered throughout the summer and fall, attracting over 20 family groups. Expanded environmental education programming included seasonal pollinator walks with Fox Farm Apiary, which highlighted beehives established in the historic orchard. TOP worked with the Sylvia Center, a non-profit operating in Columbia County and NYC with a mission around nutrition and social justice, to host a family program

about Olana’s historic farm complex. All participating families were from Columbia County with a large majority from Hudson. TOP also began virtual field trips that introduced students to Frederic Church and Olana from a distance. To increase access to this opportunity and serve the six high-need districts in the low-medium income (LMI) communities in and adjacent to Hudson, TOP provided these virtual school tours to local classes for free. In 2020, over 300 students and families were served.

LANDSCAPE & VIEWSHED

The COVID-19 public health crisis has demonstrated how essential public parks and greenspaces are to public health and the larger social fabric. With its more than five miles of artist-designed carriage roads and spectacular views, Olana was the perfect place for people from all walks of life to safely recreate and socialize. The Mingled Flower Garden also thrived and was enjoyed by many visitors. 2020 saw site attendance increase by 15% overall and a staggering 160% in the October through December period. With the Main House closed due to COVID restrictions for much of the year, this significant increase in visitors was clear testimony to the foresightfulness and resilience of The

Olana Partnership and NYS Park’s shared vision to provide visitors with a fuller, comprehensive experience of Olana as a holistic work of art, architecture, and landscape design.

While the public walked the walk at Olana, the pandemic saw New York State suspend all capital construction projects, except for those addressing critical health and safety issues. Therefore, the next phase of Olana’s Strategic Landscape Design Plan, the first phase of the historic farm restoration, was put on hold. Fortunately, the replacement of the site’s seriously deteriorated water tower, which supplies the fire hydrants, was allowed to proceed to bidding.

2020 saw a major setback to TOP’s ongoing viewshed protection efforts. Our joint petition with Scenic Hudson to have the Town of Livingston, NY conduct a full environmental review of the proposal for a communications tower on Blue Hill, a highly visible and significant location in Olana’s viewshed, was denied. This happened largely in part to direct lobbying of the Trump administration to block the Federal Communications Commission in upholding its obligations under Section 106 of the Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

COLLECTIONS & EXHIBITIONS

The year began with optimism for Cross Pollination: Heade, Cole, Church, and Our Contemporary Moment, the nationally traveling exhibition in collaboration with the Thomas Cole National Historic Site and Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. The original plan for the exhibition to open jointly at Olana and the Thomas Cole Site was reshuffled and rescheduled through urgent negotiations over the first half of the year. TOP recognizes the tremendous work by our colleagues at the New York State Bureau of Historic Sites to prepare for Cross Pollination for its traveling destinations during the pandemic. The show opened in October 2020 at the Cummer Museum, continued for a slightly modified run at the Reynolda House Museum of American Art,

and planned to travel to the Hudson Valley in 2021 before closing at Crystal Bridges in 2022.

With the shutdown came an immediate pause on three house projects in process: tour route carpeting, Eyemats reproduction of main stair rugs, and new discreet stanchions for the main house. The stanchion project was completed by year end, dramatically improving the sightlines and interior visitor environment.

Through existing relationships with Art Bridges and the Terra Foundation, we were fortunate to receive emergency COVID grants. The Art Bridges grant in particular helped to kick off a series of virtual initiatives to which curatorial was

central. These included the Olana Wikipedia Project, which saw dozens of pages connected to the Olana ecosystem edited and improved to reflect our connection to major historic personages, places, objects, and events. In addition, we helped to launch our virtual art history speakers which reached both speakers and audiences around the country and the world and brought important, nuanced, sometimes critical, but always helpful perspective on complex parts of the Olana story.

A particularly important breakthrough of 2020 came from Art Bridges funding specifically for virtual imaging projects to help our remote work. We oversaw the completion of the first complete interior and exterior

documentary photography of the main house, the creation of a sophisticated Matterport interior virtual tour, and we were early adopters of an exciting new technology, gigapanoramic photography to create a user navigable interactive overview of the full Olana landscape that is freely available on our website. The progress has been significant and the future is bright.

DEVELOPMENT & COMMUNICATIONS

The Olana Partnership’s development and communications team builds and sustains relationships with a wide range of constituencies, from the general public to major donors, private foundations, government, and the press in order to advance TOP’s mission to preserve and interpret Olana. In addition to having primary responsibility for all marketing and public relations, TOP’s development programs include membership and volunteers, special events, restricted initiative and program fundraising, and, currently, TOP’s capital campaign for the Frederic Church Center.

As in all other areas of TOP’s work, 2020 demanded a quick pivot for development plans to respond to the restrictions and concerns of the COVID-19 pandemic. TOP introduced a new digital membership level, allowing individuals from across the world to join our members only webinar series. Membership exceeded its revenue goal by 134%.

The annual Summer Party was reimagined as The Olana Viewshed Tour, an in-person, socially distanced, selfguided tour to private homes with outstanding views within Olana’s viewshed. The 2020 Frederic Church Award Gala was also held virtually on December 9 and honored David Redden, TOP’s former Chair and former Vice Chairman

of Sotheby’s, and Eleanor Jones Harvey, Senior Curator at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The 30-minute virtual program ended with a special celebratory lighting of Niagara Falls. These special events exceeded their total revenue goal by 151%.

2020 was the third year of TOP’s capital campaign to fund the design and construction of The Frederic Church Center, a new visitor entry and orientation facility that is the linchpin of Olana’s Strategic Landscape Design Plan. As December 31, 2020, TOP had raised $5,738,669 of the $10 million campaign goal. TOP’s campaign is part of the larger capital development plan being undertaken with OPRHP. OPRHP remains committed to providing substantive capital funding for Olana projects through its annual budget allocations.

TOP continued to enhance its virtual offerings by creating a virtual OLANA section of the website. This includes a 10-part virtual landscape tour series, audio mixes inspired by Olana, and a full series of webinars. TOP also photo documented the Main House and worked to create a self-guided interactive 3D tour of the Olana landscape. In addition, TOP launched the OLANA EYE, a 24/7, 365

Skycam atop Frederic Church’s studio tower, showcasing the view of the Hudson River and Catskill

Olana was featured in national publications including Vogue, the Wall Street Journal and NBC’s Today Show with Al

Mountains.
