MAH 2023 Annual Report

Director’s Letter

Year after year, the MAH staff works tirelessly to offer an exciting and dynamic program—from our innovative exhibitions and biennial festivals rich with compelling installations, to meaningful residencies where artists have the time, space, and financial support to create new work, to interactive educational experiences that help guests interpret and contextualize. We aim to reach all audiences—whether you are a connoisseur of art, history, and culture, or simply inspired by shared experiences and unexpected connections.

We do this in service to our mission to bring people together through art and local history to explore our diverse cultures. In this way, we not only strengthen our sense of place, but our community overall.

But the MAH is also a business, with a bottom line and operating strategy. Like other museums, we trade in the creation, distribution, and consumption of artworks,

historical publications, archives, and other cultural products. As such, the need to increase our creative capacity and competitive advantage is ongoing. We must continually enhance our programs, operations, facilities, and resources—while remaining fiscally prudent to ensure long-term sustainability.

On all these fronts, we are proud to report the year’s successes.

In 2022-23 the MAH:

• Completed year two of our strategic plan. We again prioritized three core strategies—increasing engagement and retention, deepening relationships and collaboration, and building resilience and capacity. In these, we accomplished specific milestones, and reached or exceeded a number of our second-year targets.

This year we worked to align ambitions, resources, and plans so that we can continue to offer thoughtful, relevant programming that nurtures our community’s sense of place.

• Debuted new programming. We introduced CommonGround—our new, 10-day biennial festival of placeinspired outdoor work throughout Santa Cruz County—and presented a full year of exhibitions, programs, and events, including performative and visual works at local cultural sites.

• Honored our shared history. We made more space for Indigenous perspectives through Kincentricity, a multi-year collaboration with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band. It includes History Gallery updates, the creation of native learning gardens, and knowledgesharing and storytelling by artists, community, and students.

• Challenged conventional narratives. We held conversations around difficult topics—diversity and racism in local surf culture; mass incarceration and criminal justice

reform; and labor exploitation and environmental degradation in California agriculture. We joined the Bay of Life Project to bring awareness to and protect marine ecosystems.

• Hosted creative residencies. We supported multiple research-based residencies in which artists, activists, and scholars drew from history to interpret contemporary themes. They explored our local Victorian-era water carnivals, the lost stories of Santa Cruz’s Black pioneers, and Norse mythology in Evergreen Cemetery.

• Digitized part of our collection. We launched Queerstory, a project to digitize and promote photographic, printed, and audiovisual materials that document our local LGBTQ+ community from the mid-70s to present. This is part of a long-term initiative to digitize much of the museum’s archives.

SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF ART & HISTORY

• Improved our sites and facilities. We installed an ADA-compliant walkway across Evergreen Cemetery, and transformed our first-floor gallery into The Collaboratory, a multi-use area for resource-sharing and collaboration. We continue efforts to make all of our spaces more inviting, safe, and accessible.

• Secured new funding. We received grants from the Hewlett 50 Arts Commissions and National Endowment for the Arts, and took advantage of tax credit and other aid programs to boost post-pandemic recovery. We continue to pursue opportunities for program development, capacity-building, and collaboration.

• Completed an accounting transition. For better integration and transparency, we updated our chart of accounts, streamlined systems, established stronger internal controls, tightened fiscal policies and procedures, and fully aligned our reporting with GAAP standards for nonprofits.

• Strengthened our business model. We retired long-term debt related to our capital lease obligations and favorably renegotiated commercial tenant agreements. We continue to work toward balancing earned and contributed revenue, shoring up cash flow, and expanding our base of support.

These and many more achievements bolster our ability to produce the imaginative and inspirational work that makes our museum such a treasured community resource.

Like all who contribute to our creative economy, the MAH nurtures the vibrancy of our community. Not only do we educate and entertain, we spark engagement, promote place identity, enhance livability, drive tourism, and invigorate the entrepreneurial ecosystem—ultimately serving as an engine of economic development. We hope you will join us in recognizing and strengthening our beloved creative institutions—especially enduring community fixtures like the MAH. By doing so, we can harness these benefits for the good of all.

Robb Woulfe Executive Director

“The MAH is making the case that... no four walls can fully contain its vision, and the museum is more than the building it calls home.”

About the MAH

The Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History (MAH) was founded in 1996 to promote a greater understanding of contemporary art and the history of Santa Cruz County.

Today we are a thriving community gathering place that offers a full slate of rotating art and history exhibitions, visual and performing artworks, public festivals, education and outreach programs, and cultural celebrations in collaboration with our many partners. We maintain a permanent collection of regionally significant art and artifacts, a research library, historical archive, and historic sites including Evergreen Cemetery, the Octagon Building, and Davenport Jail. We are also home to Abbott Square, a vibrant public plaza on the museum’s doorstep that offers food, social events, and year-round creative happenings.

The MAH is well-known for pioneering the “participatory museum,” in which a broad spectrum of partners and community members develop exhibitions around important

community issues. We are proud of our reputation as one of the most creative and forward-thinking community museums in the country.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Robb Woulfe, we continue that level of engagement in recognition of the value in co-creating projects. At the same time, we are committed to producing and cultivating meaningful, high quality, place-based work that animates and enlivens the MAH as well as public spaces throughout Santa Cruz County.

With strong support from our community collaborators and new partnerships yet to be formed, we are confident the MAH will not only uphold its reputation as a cultural and social innovator, but serve as a model for other museums to emulate.

Assets & Spaces

Facility & Sites

The MAH itself is located in a privately owned building on Santa Cruz County property (the County leases the property to the MAH). Within it, there is approximately 8,000 square feet of exhibition/gallery space and 2,750 square feet for collections/archives. The MAH also operates three historic structures/sites: Evergreen Cemetery, Davenport Jail, and the Octagon Building. In addition, we manage the adjacent McPherson Center office building, which includes Abbott Square Market, as commercial rental property.

Collections & Publications

The MAH maintains a research library, archives, and a curatorial collection. The art collection has more than 300 sculptures, paintings, and prints by California and greater Monterey Bay area artists. The history collection has more than 7,000 items, most of which are from the early 1900s with historical significance to Santa Cruz County. The MAH also produces research-based publications on a range of topics about local history, environment, inhabitants, and places.

Exhibition Spaces

The MAH has two permanent exhibition spaces: the History Gallery and the rooftop Blanchard Sculpture Garden. Three other galleries—Art Forum, Lezin, and Solari—offer rotating exhibitions that present artworks and artifacts reflective of the dynamism and diversity of Santa Cruz County. In addition, the MAH presents a series of public programs and educational activities.

“What do you call a California institution that displays art from far and near, manages one of the oldest cemeteries in the state, schedules poetry readings and solo theater shows, administers a building on the National Register of Historic Places, presents cultural festivals and music concerts, and places pop-up exhibits throughout the community? That would be the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History.”

—Next Avenue

Programming Framework

The MAH offers a wide array of programs and activities for the community. To clarify and guide our programming, we developed the following framework:

Exhibitions

Now offered online and onsite, our rotating exhibitions feature commissioned, co-created, and presented works by local, national, and international artists, as well as artwork and objects from our collection. Many are collaborations between the MAH and the community; others are organized by our visionary team of curators.

Biennial Festivals

Our new festivals showcase the MAH as a “museum without walls” through largescale sculptures, site-specific installations, social interventions, and live performances outdoors and in. These are curated around established themes, with the aim of uniting community through a shared sense of wonder and awe.

Limited Series

This is our program of ticketed lectures, concerts, and performances featuring local, national, and international talent, which we present in partnership with local collaborators.

Community Celebrations

The MAH is proud to have a large and diverse group of partners who spearhead this series of events and activities celebrating local culture, heritage, and tradition.

Education Program

Our robust education program includes a variety of learning opportunities—from field trips, artist talks, guided tours, art camps, and hands-on classes to virtual

learning—designed to enhance understanding of our exhibitions among all audiences, from school groups to visiting guests.

Outreach Program

We also offer engagement opportunities beyond the physical space of the MAH that include pop-up events, mobile exhibitions, community speaker programs, and other activities both offsite and online.

Special Events

These are our fundraisers and “friendraisers” that we host throughout the year as a way to raise both dollars and awareness for the MAH.

Core Narratives

Because so much of our work is developed through the lens of community and public benefit, we identified core issues important to local citizens as a way to consciously embrace how art and history can integrate with and impact community life.

These areas of focus emphasize our sense of place, local identity, and collective history. Also seen as our spheres of impact, they help guide how programs and initiatives at the MAH are developed, curated, and organized, creating opportunities for cultural practitioners to collaborate, inspire, and elicit creative solutions that result in deep and lasting change. They include:

Health & Wellness

Mental health, holistic healing, art and wilderness therapy. Access to care, building community, focusing on the needs of our most vulnerable. Connecting communities and resources.

Environmental Justice & Creative Ecologies

Exploring the places where culture and environment intersect—sea level rise, natural resources, climate change, and equity. Interdisciplinary strategies to negotiate environmental issues.

Memory & Place

Looking back to look forward. Heritage, culture, and tradition. Movement, migration, and place. Institutional and collective memory. Storytelling.

Regenerative Design & Cultural Activism

Creation over consumption. Biomimicry, working with and through the land. Art that gives back—a tool for restoration, renewal, or revitalization. Advocating for long term public interest.

Joy & Beauty

Experiences that provide space to pause and imagine. Relief, reflection, escape. Stillness. Uncanniness. Consideration of the unknown. Inspiring wonder and awe.

By recognizing issues and topics critical to the community’s future and situating or contextualizing our programs within those domains, we have opportunities to:

1) produce work that has strong local relevance;

2) engage a wide range of partners and collaborators;

3) develop a compelling case for support to attract funding; and

4) effect positive social change in Santa Cruz County and beyond.

SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF ART & HISTORY

"Some of the most exciting performance 'stages' aren’t actually stages at all. The biennial is hosted in outdoor locations throughout Santa Cruz County, aiming to connect audiences with the region’s natural and built environments through installation art and site-specific performance.”

—KQED, on CommonGround

Governance & Structure

The MAH is governed by a volunteer board of trustees who are committed to the museum’s legacy and its vision for the future. The board is comprised of a diverse group of local professionals, civic leaders, and community advocates whose primary responsibilities are to define strategic vision, develop policy, and ensure the financial viability of the organization. There is an executive committee made up of the chair, vice chair(s), secretary, treasurer, and at-large member.

The institution is managed by a professional team under the leadership of Executive Director Robb Woulfe. With collaboration as a core operating tenet, the team works with broad-based constituencies including artists, historians, activists, business and community leaders, and other

influencers to advance the MAH’s mission, strengthen partnerships, and cultivate new and existing community connections.

Rounding out the senior management team are Kevin Coullahan (Director of Operations & Facilities), Marla Novo (Director of Exhibitions & Programs), and Hans Wuerfmannsdobler (Director of Finance & Administration). A staff of full- and part-time employees along with contractors and service providers complete the organizational structure. More than 100 volunteers contribute thousands of hours annually in all operational areas.

"The mobile installation features an assortment of Galarza’s mesmerizing photos, enlarged and attached to wood sculptures constructed by Ruanova. Each image will include an audio component featuring the oral histories Ornelas has collected and music from the era.”

Financial Health

The MAH’s operating costs for FY22 were $2,443,211 with contributed revenue generated from individuals and businesses, foundation and government grants, and earned revenue from admission fees, event tickets, facility rentals, lease payments, retail sales, and a special tax credit.

Our team has been working diligently to diversify our funding portfolio and expand our base of support, even as the negative impacts from COVID-19 continue to ripple through the global cultural sector.

We took and continue to take actions designed to ensure financial sustainability now and in the future. In the short term, we reduced staff numbers and have been actively pursuing relief funding opportunities including grants, small business loans, and assistance programs focused on capacity-building, resilience, and recovery.

For the long term, we have been working to strengthen our business model with financial strategies that include striking a realistic balance between earned and contributed revenue, shoring up cash flow,

expanding our resources, and broadening our base of support. Our efforts toward resource development include re-engaging past donors and supporters and introducing new revenue streams, with particular attention to opportunities for income growth that are aligned with our programs and artistic development..

The charts and figures on the next page are a snapshot of the MAH’s financial position from this most recent year.

Note on statements: Some grant funds released in FY23 were recognized in full during previous fiscal years, and some grant funds recognized in full in FY23 will be released in future fiscal years. Operating expense includes non-cash depreciation for both the museum and McPherson buildings.

Note: The condensed statement of operations and the condensed statement of financial position are derived from the financial statements of the MAH as of June 30, 2023, which have not been audited and are subject to change. A complete set of the MAH’s audited financial statements for 2022–23 will be posted to our website upon completion. Previous years’ audited financial statements and IRS Form 990s are currently available at santacruzmah.org/financials

The MAH maintains the highest possible, four-star rating by Charity Navigator, America’s leading independent charity evaluator.

FISCAL YEAR 2023

"The project allows everyone who lives in the influence of the Monterey Bay exactly that kind of expanded vision. It’s a great gallery experience, but it will also compel you to get out of the confines of the museum, and to experience your psychic home with a new perspective."

—Lookout Santa Cruz, on Bay of Life

Strategic Plan 36

MAH 2026

In 2022–23, we successfully completed year two of our new 5-year strategic plan.

Titled MAH 2026, the plan expands on our proud 27-year history as a center for the intersection of art, history, and civic life. It builds on what we have learned, from our successes to our setbacks. In some places it continues our efforts to maintain and improve upon our standards of excellence in exhibitions, programs, collections, and publications. In others, it outlines new initiatives to advance and deepen our impact on individual lives, improve the wellbeing of our community, and ensure equity and vitality through diversity and inclusivity. It strives to set the MAH on a stronger financial and organizational course, increase our base of support, and strengthen our staff and governance.

Like all strategic plans, ours aligns ambitions and resources. It seeks to balance aspirational programming with fiscal sustainability and prioritizes experimentation with new models of engagement and growth. Each of the MAH’s new strategies has a series of measurable goals and time-based initiatives that are supported by specific tactics and actions, all of which will be integrated across the museum to ensure inter-departmental synergy and coordination. Some actions have begun; some are continuations of ongoing work; others are in the planning phases; and still others are geared for the future.

MAH 2026 is a living document, designed to be flexible and allow for agility. Each year, we will revisit the plan to evaluate our progress and use that assessment to develop annual work plans and budgets for board approval. While the plan will inform and guide our work, we will also remain nimble to take advantage of new opportunities and changing conditions.

Plan Overview

Again, our vision is to ignite shared experiences and unexpected connections that enrich our community, accomplished by a mission to bring people together through art and local history to explore our diverse cultures, and guided by five core

SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF ART & HISTORY

values:

1) engagement and collaboration;

2) diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility;

The Path Forward

3) innovation and experimentation;

4) excellence and rigor; and 5) accountability, integrity, and responsibility.

Our major strategies are to increase engagement and retention through innovative and time-tested programs that attract audiences, engage community, and spark connections; deepen relationships and collaboration through mutually beneficial partnerships that leverage resources and expertise to benefit the public; and build resilience and capacity through streamlined practices in all areas of management and operations. With organizational learning as a core operating tenet, we rely on data-based decisionmaking and measurable methodologies to improve, extend, and increase the impact of MAH experiences, while continuing to embrace the experimentation, risk-taking, inventiveness, and reflection the MAH is known for.

MAH 2026 is focused on the impact and outcomes between our organization and our diverse community—from the connoisseurs of art, history, and culture to the creative and curious explorers who seek inspiration through shared experiences and unexpected connections. We aim to nurture these relationships and serve our community in a way that is inspiring and thoughtprovoking while also ensuring long-term organizational sustainability.

To do so, the MAH must enhance its programs, operations, facilities, and resources—and the process to accomplishing this is laid out in the plan. Upon its completion in 2026, we expect more than ever to be a sustainable, vital, and resilient MAH, focused on audiences and bolstered by even deeper, more substantive community relationships.

The plan is a pathway that promises to build momentum and usher the MAH forward into the next era for our institution. We hope you will not only support us but join us on this exciting journey. Together, our potential knows no bounds.

“Santa Cruz boasts some incredible landscapes, from vast forest to laid-back beaches to a bustling downtown. The Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History is hosting its first festival celebrating the varied terrains of the city."

—San Francisco Chronicle, on CommonGround

The Future

By cultivating a healthy and sustainable creative economy, we ensure that Santa Cruz County remains a great place to live, work, and play. Our achievements on this front are not the work of the MAH alone, but instead result from the exemplary collaboration of many partners. Together we have built a livable downtown (where livability refers to its tangible, physical attributes), and together we can ensure vibrancy (the positive emotional qualities of a community) for years to come.

The MAH contributes to this effort in 2023 and beyond by forging boldly ahead with our inventive offerings, and working with collaborators to breathe new life into our cultural scene and public spaces. This work has become more important than ever as we emerge from the pandemic, reconnect, and rebuild.

And yet, it is no secret that these are challenging times for arts and culture. Around the world, museums have experienced reduced funding, operational issues due to COVID, and other difficulties. In Santa Cruz County, too, our cultural landscape has been altered in unprecedented ways. At a time of such uncertainty, we believe it is crucial to recognize the enduring value of creative enterprise to drive community development. We need to celebrate our local cultural organizations and do what we can to support the sector. We need to develop vision, strategies, and priorities, and ensure long-term funding to sustain high-quality programs and facilities.

To continue moving this work forward, our plans for the future involve the following emphases.

Placekeeping

Similar to the placemaking movement in community development, placekeeping is an effort to recognize and celebrate a community’s extant cultural identity, history, and people by elevating local culture, heritage, and landscapes through artistic and historical interpretation. Not only do the MAH’s exhibitions, festivals, and programs encourage localism as well as the tourism that financially benefits businesses, workforce, and City and

County tax revenue, they also invest in our cultural profile in a way that enriches the lives of our local community, invites visitor participation, and ensures we remain attractive and relevant in these rapidly changing times.

Community Belonging

Nurturing a sense of belonging among all people contributes to healthy, meaningful lives and safe, inclusive neighborhoods. When we encourage culture and identity to flourish, civic participation increases. MAH programming enhances belonging by animating our museum, historic sites, and public spaces in a way that acknowledges and honors our diverse cultures and histories, while encouraging interaction and community building. We use interventions to engage people as active collaborators around art and history; to make and offer space that fosters encounter, dialogue, and social cohesion; and to build individual and collective capacity to sustain socially and place-connected, resilient communities.

Social Connectedness

Connectedness is key to growing a sense of belonging, and the experiences we craft around it are designed specifically to encourage people to come together, interact, and engage in mutual value creation through an exchange of knowledge and information. Residents who are engaged become invested in the MAH and one another. This builds the public value and perception of the organization, while contributing to the community’s wellbeing overall.

Here are some of the specific visioning, organizational, and programming approaches the MAH uses to increase creative capacity and competitive advantage within the aforementioned emphases:

• Articulating narratives that represent the beliefs, values, and ideals of Santa Cruz County to guide our programming

• Launching a biennial festival series to connect and inspire patrons and guests in and around the MAH and County

• Unveiling temporary public artworks that invite engagement and interaction while creating a draw to our civic spaces

• Creating new artistic work and cultural content in addition to preserving and presenting our collections

• Designing virtual activities that invite online interaction to serve our community during and after the pandemic

• Investing in local artists, historians, and creative practitioners via commissions, residencies, space, and resources

• Encouraging a shift toward regenerative economy within our community to capitalize on opportunities

• Building support for citizen artists and storytellers to increase involvement in creativity and cultural exchange

• Committing to accelerating diversity and equity in our cultural workforce and leadership pipeline

• Collaborating with other cultural organizations to strengthen our mutual impact

• Engaging in the global conversation by connecting local and regional initiatives to broader contexts

A renaissance of art, culture, creativity, and community is upon us. By recognizing and strengthening the institutions, businesses, and individuals who make our creative economy flourish, we can harness it to the benefit of all.

"Contemporary works by emerging artists from Mexico and California make up the exhibit, which features art that tells stories about farm workers and agriculture,."

—Next Avenue, on The Land of Milk and Honey

"Cannupa Hanska Luger creates a visionary Indigenous future using the methodology and tropes of science fiction. On display will be regalia, tools, shelter elements, means of transportation, and other technology Luger has created for this new world—fusions of traditional craft and imaginative futurism."

—American Craft Council, on Sé’sh Shóto’sh Psí’sh

Acknowledgments

Funder Recognition

It is through the generous support of members, corporate sponsors, foundations, and government partners that the MAH is able to be a community resource and economic asset. To learn more about how to get involved with the institution’s work, please visit the MAH’s website to see our various engagement and philanthropic opportunities.

We thank our donors, volunteers, and collaborators for their tremendous support, and look forward to working with new friends as we continue to pursue new horizons.

Land Acknowledgment

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

Photo Credits

The majority of images featured in this publication were sourced from the MAH’s portfolio and archives. Special thanks to photographers Crystal Birns, Daris Jasper, and Orbie Pullen.
