Boise Art Museum Annual Report 2005 – 2006 May 1, 2005 – April 30, 2006

FY 2006 marked a successful year for the Boise Art Museum. I am very proud of the staff forcontinually exceeding extremely high standards and maintaining a passion for the visual arts. Our ambitious exhibition and education programs set the Museum apart as the premier artinstitution in Idaho!

The exhibition A Ceramic Continuum: Fifty Years of the Archie Bray Influence provided anopportunity to showcase BAM’s impressive ceramics collection alongside work from thegroundbreaking artist-in-residence program at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Art inHelena, Montana. Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime exhibited this well-known Americanartist’s paintings and drawings along with photographs by Alfred Stieglitz and Todd Webb.Educational programs related to O’Keeffe, including lectures, studio classes, teacher institutes anddemonstrations, gave participants unique, first-hand experiences for understanding the works ofart. Internationally recognized artist Hildur Bjarnadóttir of Iceland shared her cultural traditions andmethods with teen Girl Scouts in a workshop focused on her exhibition, Hildur Bjarnadóttir:Unraveled. BSU faculty, students, and general BAM audiences attended a discussion with Hildur tolearn about her contemporary interpretations of traditional craft forms. The exhibitions The Daily News and Deborah Oropallo: Twice Removed gave students and visitors opportunities tolearn about contemporary art inspired by everyday objects such as newspapers, toys, vegetationand internet images. Throughout the year, BAM presented a wide variety of media: paintings in oil,acrylic, and watercolor; traditional and digital prints; photographs; pastel and charcoal drawings;ceramics; fiber; video; and wood and metal sculptures.

BAM received 169 gifts of art to the Permanent Collection, 77 of which were a gift of fine Asianceramics from Clyde R. and Helen M. Bacon. The Bacons, Idaho natives, spent more than threedecades assembling this magnificent collection, and we are grateful for their generouscontribution to the Museum.

Among many noteworthy projects this year, the Museum is pursuing re-accreditation by theAmerican Association of Museums (AAM), a multi-year process that includes a detailed study ofBAM’s exhibitions, programs, procedures, and governance. Staff members have spent the pasteight months preparing the self-study, which is scheduled for completion in September 2006.Within the next two years, AAM will conduct a site visit and review to ensure that BAM continues tomeet national standards.

The Museum also initiated development of a new strategic plan to be completed by the endof 2006 that outlines primary activities for the next ten years. The Board of Trustees spearheadedthis project and spent many hours identifying BAM’s goals and challenges, assisted by staff andcommunity members. I am thankful for them and for their commitment to the Museum and itsfuture.

Thank you also to Bill Selvage, President of the Board, for his leadership, and to all of BAM’sTrustees, who volunteer countless hours to further the mission of the Museum. The National AdvisoryCouncil and all those who helped BAM fulfill the Corddry Challenge grant have made valuablecontributions to our success as well. And finally, I want to thank BAM’s exhibition and educationprogram sponsors, the Beaux Arts Société, private donors, grant funders, docents, interns,volunteers and Museum members for their support this past year. By working together, we arecreating a synergy that will certainly lead to another rewarding year of achievement!

Sincerely,

Melanie FalesInterim Executive Director

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Over the past year, BAM continued its tradition of presenting world-class art and superbeducation programs. I commend Museum staff, Trustees and volunteers for their hard work,dedication and vision that make BAM a true gem in our community.

Once again, Museum staff demonstrated their talent when the summer exhibition, Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime, opened June 30, 2006, with strong reviews, highattendance and the first ever “tailgate party” in front of the Museum (courtesy of Boise Naval Base art collective)—complete with body paint spelling out “O’Keeffe!” Specialprogramming during the exhibition included a presentation by Agapita Judy Lopez, Director of the Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation and personal assistant to O’Keeffe during the last years of the artist’s life. Approximately 30,000 visitors viewed the exhibition and enjoyed O’Keeffe-themed education programs.

The year ended with two beautiful and very different exhibitions. California artist Deborah Oropallo explored the confluence of fine art and technology through her digitally-manipulated paintings in the exhibition Twice Removed. A grant from the Paul G. AllenFamily Foundation enabled BAM to publish a 32-page catalog of the exhibition and conduct a special education program with students at Meridian Technology Charter High School. Twice Removed contrasted with The Clyde R. and Helen M. Bacon Collection of Asian Art, a display of exquisitely crafted Chinese and Japanese ceramics from the 17th through 19th

centuries. This collection was gifted in FY 2006 to the Museum by Idaho natives Helen M. and thelate Clyde R. Bacon. BAM is fortunate and proud to be the recipient of these important works. The Bacons’ gift is but one example of the many generous contributions of art that help build the Museum’s Permanent Collection.

At the end of FY 2006, Executive Director Tim Close announced that he had accepted aposition as Director of The Museum of Glass: International Center for Contemporary Art in Tacoma,Washington. Tim came to BAM in 2000 and directed the Museum through six successful years andexhibitions including Degas in Bronze and Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of the Sublime. I thank Tim forhis leadership of BAM and wish him the best of luck in his new venture.

I would also like to thank BAM’s members, patrons, donors and auxiliary groups for theircontinued support. The Museum is able to achieve its vision of greatness only with the generosityand commitment of these individuals and organizations. In particular, I offer my gratitude to Paul and Charlotte Corddry, whose $250,000 challenge grant has provided crucial operatingsupport for the Museum, and to all the donors who contributed to the challenge and helpedexceed our goal of raising $250,000 to match the Corddrys’ grant funds.

As an architect, I am looking forward to the coming year, kicked off by an exhibition of Frank Lloyd Wright’s furnishings and designs. Wright is considered to be one of the most influentialAmerican architects. His design philosophy extended from the ground and site work to the detailsof his chairs, lamps and windows. It is a treat to have another exhibition of such outstandingquality in Boise and Idaho.

It has been a privilege to serve as President of the Boise Art Museum. BAM is a valuablecultural resource in our community and I am honored to have been given the opportunity tosupport this wonderful institution.

Very sincerely,

Bill SelvagePresident, 2005-2006

This extraordinary exhibition re-examined thework of one of America’s most iconic artists.O’Keeffe was a visionary who provided us withnew ways to view our surroundings and exploreour inner selves. O’Keeffe said, “I have pickedflowers where I found them – have picked upsea shells and rocks and pieces of wood. . . I have used these things to say what is to me thewideness and wonder of the world as I live in it.”This comment connects O’Keeffe to the aesthet-ic concept of the sublime, with its sensation ofinfinite space and evocative color and light. The exhibition, spanning more than five decades,featured 32 paintings and one sculpture byO’Keeffe, together with 24 photographs byO’Keeffe’s husband, Alfred Stieglitz, and 17images of O’Keeffe by noted American photog-rapher Todd Webb. Complementing these workswere 17 paintings by earlier American artists thatexemplify the concept of the sublime in land-scape painting. Included were works by Albert Bierstadt, Martin Johnson Heade, and George Inness from the Hunter Museum ofAmerican Art and the Butler Institute of American Art.

Curated by Elizabeth Hutton Turner, Marjorie P.Balge-Crozier, and Joseph S. Czestochowski.Organized by International Arts, Memphis, TN.

Friends of Art (FOA) is a Boise Art Museum aux-iliary group comprised of individuals whodesire to promote Museum accessibility andraise funds to support the Boise Art Museum.

FOA hosted several gallery tours this year, ledby the Museum’s Executive Director, Tim Close.Featured exhibits were Georgia O’Keeffe:Visions of the Sublime and The Daily News. In June 2005, the group co-hosted a receptionat BAM for the BOSCO (Boise Open StudiosCollective Organization) kick-off. In April 2006,they hosted the first annual Tour d’Art, a col-laboration with the Boise City Arts Commissionto conduct a guided bicycle tour of down-town Boise public art. One lucky person wona new cruiser, courtesy of sponsorBikes2Boards. Other sponsors of this very suc-cessful event were PromoShop and TableRockBrewPub and Grill.

COLLECTORS FORUM

Collectors Forum (CF) comprises dedicated art collectors and Museum patrons who generously support BAM acquisitions for theNorthwest collection. At their 2006 AnnualMeeting, Collectors Forum members voted topurchase, on behalf of Boise Art Museum, the Robert Colescott oil painting, Awakening:Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. This acquisitionwas made possible through the additionalgenerosity of CF members Dick and Sondra Hackborn and Howard and Dottie Goldman, and brought to fruition anambitious CF goal of acquiring a work of art bya Northwest artist of international renown. In addition to his many other accomplishments,Robert Colescott represented the United Statesat the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997.

Educational art excursions are another focusof Collectors Forum. In the fall of 2005, thedestination was Chicago, Illinois. Membersviewed spectacular art, architecture, andbotanical gardens, as well as four world-classart collections in private homes. Trips to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and London, England,are scheduled for 2006 - 07.

Members’ homes were the venue of choicefor CF programs this year. We thank each ofthese couples for graciously inviting the groupinto their residences: Bev and George Harad,Carol MacGregor and Gayle Brian Allen, Lee and Nancy Bondurant, and Ken and Betsy Pursley.
