ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY

2014THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART

William M. Griswold Director

cultivate goodwill and trust based on open dialogue. We continue to build these relationships because we accept fundamental truths about art—that it can tran-scend cultural boundaries, diminish societal conflict, and help us to realize our common humanity.

The pages that follow serve as an overview of our community engagement efforts over the past year. If you are unfamiliar with the museum, I hope you will take this opportunity to learn more and become involved. Even if you are a seasoned museum-goer, I encourage you to discover the quality and breadth of our offerings.

Regardless of your familiarity with the museum, I encourage you to deepen it. With each visit, you can create a new story, find a different way to connect with the permanent collection, and discover a more profound sense of ownership in the institution.

The future of the museum will always depend on the strength of individuals like you who constitute our community of ambassadors. I am sure that together we can make good on the vision of our founders, ensur-ing that residents, visitors, and students, indeed all the people, feel welcome at the Cleveland Museum of Art for generations to come.

NNearly one hundred years ago, the founders of the Cleveland Museum of Art established an ambitious goal: to create a public art museum for the benefit of all the people forever. Today that vision resonates even more emphatically and across more communities than it did ninety-eight years ago.

The Cleveland Museum of Art is expanding its influ-ence and reach in more ways than ever by making outstanding works of art accessible to a wide range of audiences both inside and outside the walls of the institution. We strive to accomplish our mission of public service not only through the presentation of groundbreaking exhibitions and the development of rich educational programs and interpretive materials, but also by enhancing our ability to deliver inspiring experiences in the museum’s galleries, as well as in area schools and libraries, community centers, se-nior housing, and myriad other locations throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.

Each year the museum makes new strides in commu-nity engagement. We are committed to building and deepening relationships with neighborhood organiza-tions, artists, students, and community residents of all ages and backgrounds. Moreover, each year we learn more about how to listen and respond to the needs of our constituents. Through our partnerships, we seek to

CELEBRATINGParade the CircleIn 1990 the first Parade the Circle was organized in anticipation of the Cleveland Museum of Art’s seven-ty-fiftth anniversary in 1991. It included 125 paraders, all of whom displayed original costumes and floats before a crowd of a few hundred spectators. The next year, the event grew exponentially, attracting over 500 participants and a crowd of over 10,000.

Fast forward to 2014 and Parade the Circle has be-come the signature summer event, not only for the Cleveland Museum of Art but for the city of Cleve-land. Undoubtedly, this year’s twenty-fifth anniversary of the parade was the most spectacular to date. The event featured 1,500 participants belonging to 100 ensembles, which included 80 schools, churches, and community groups. Over 80,000 spectators lined the sidewalks of Wade Oval to witness the stunning array of original, handmade costumes, stilt-walkers, dance troops, vibrant floats, and musical acts.

In the weeks leading up to the parade, participants collaborate with guest artists from around the world who share their skills and traditions to help ensembles achieve remarkable results. These behind-the-scenes workshops are a hallmark of the event, facilitating extraordinary community art making.

Parade the Circle founder Robin VanLear, director of community arts at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the lead organizer of the parade since its inception, reflected on the significance of the anniversary: “In Parade the Circle, professional artists and community members work side by side to create art. How fitting that the Cleveland Museum of Art, long at the fore-front of the nation’s museums in valuing art education and community engagement, should embark upon its second century by leading the way in support of art for, with, and about the community.”

Since October 2012 the museum has welcomed more than 1,500 to each of its first Friday MIX events. Designed to engage an adult audience, MIX parties are themed around a seasonal celebration, an area of the permanent collection, or a special exhibition at the museum.

The series invites local performance artists, dancers, artists, chefs, and fashion designers to showcase their talent and help curate a truly unique and interactive experience. Past events featured a diverse as-sortment of performances and activities ranging from the Rust Belt Monster Collective’s creation of a live art mural to a fashion design

competition of wearable art inspired by Surrealist and modernist photog-raphy. Scavenger hunts, art making, and minitours organized by the mu-seum’s education department offer MIX party-goers a quick art history lesson while they sip a cocktail and mingle with friends.

Night Before 9: Out in Art The Cleveland Museum of Art was proud to be rec-ognized as a community partner of Gay Games 9, an international sporting and cultural event that was held in and around Cleveland and Akron. Since 1982, every four years the Gay Games has welcomed participa-tion from athletes regardless of sexual orientation, race, gender identity, sex, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political beliefs, athletic or artistic ability, age, physical challenge, or health status to compete in athletic events ranging from synchronized swimming to table tennis.

On August 8, the Cleveland Museum of Art hosted Night Before 9: Out in Art, the opening party for the games. More than 1,400 athletes, spectators, and supporters of the event gathered in the Ames Family Atrium to celebrate diversity and competition.

More than 1,400 attended the museum’s welcoming celebration for Gay Games 9.

Winter Lights Lantern Festival The Winter Lights Lantern Festival celebrated its twentieth anniversary in December 2013. Inspired by ancient ceremonial lighting displays, the museum’s festival features artist-made lantern displays inside the museum and the Environment of Lights installation around Wade Oval. Held each year in conjunction with Holiday CircleFest, a free annual Univer-sity Circle–wide celebration presented by University Circle Inc., the Winter Lights Lantern Festival features a variety of activities and entertainment, including workshops for making simple lanterns for the proces-sion. The day culminates in a procession through the Environment of Lights led by illuminated dancers and giant puppets.

Chalk FestivalThe twenty-fifth annual Chalk Festival bookended the museum’s summer season of community arts. Taking place each September, the festival brings artists and community residents together for two days of art making on the sidewalks and pathways surrounding the Fine Arts Garden on the south side of the mu-seum. Launched in 1990, the festival is modeled after a Renaissance tradition from sixteentth-century Italy in which beggars attempted to duplicate Raphael’s paintings of the Madonna on the plazas outside cathe-drals. Today, Chalk Festival artists of all ages and skill levels come together to create spectacular, ephemeral works of public art.

This year’s Chalk Festival attracted more than 1,500 participants and nearly 14,000 visitors. The Chalk Festival invites everyone in our commu-nity to claim a square of sidewalk and take part in a weekend of collaborative, open-air drawing.

TEDxCLEFor the third straight year, the Cleveland Museum of Art was the host of TEDxCLE, an annual event that brings together some of Cleveland’s most fascinating designers, engineers, artists, chefs, musicians, doctors, and others to talk about how they’ve made a difference in our community. An offshoot of the annual four-day TED conference that has featured speakers such as Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, and Frank Gehry, TEDxCLE is an independently organized event that celebrates local ingenuity and challenges audiences to explore the boundaries of technology, entertainment, and design.

Tickets for the 2014 TEDxCLE sold out in less than a half hour. More than 600 attendees experienced the event live in Gartner Auditorium and simulcast in the lecture and recital halls. The event featured 15 talks that covered topics ranging from Genna Petrolla’s discus-sion of the citizen’s role in the evolution of cities to David Shimotakahara’s dialogue about the connections between uncertainty, dance, and success.

CONNECTINGThe museum’s role as a convening place is exemplified by TEDxCLE, hosted in Gartner Auditorium for the past three years.

Distance LearningIn 2014 the Cleveland Museum of Art’s award-winning Distance Learning program celebrated fifteen years of connecting students and seniors to the museum’s permanent collection and educators through live videoconferencing. Through the museum’s in-house broadcasting station, green-screen technology, and a simple audio-visual setup at the partner location, participants from New South Wales, Australia, to Cleveland, Ohio, can engage in a real-time two-way conversation with specially trained museum educa-tors to discover and engage with works of art from the museum’s permanent collection.

Session topics cover everything from comparing the ritual objects from the Yoruba and Edo peoples of Nigeria to understanding how American painter Chuck Close learned to apply mathematical concepts to transfer photographic images to canvas. Each Dis-tance Learning session is highly tailored to participants’ needs, and while many of the lesson plans are devel-oped for school-age children, rich content for continu-ing education, lifelong learning, and post-secondary audiences is also available.

In total, Distance Learning offers sessions on over fifty topics in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Mandarin. This year, for the eighth consecutive year, the program has been recognized with the high-est awards in its field: the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration Pinnacle Award and the Teachers’ Choice Award.

Cleveland Museum of Art Distance Learning programs reached nearly every state in the Union, plus Canada, Mexico, and Australia.

Conservation in FocusFrom June to September 2014, the Julia and Larry Pollock Focus Gallery was transformed into an exhibi-tion space like no other. Conservation in Focus: Car-avaggio’s “Crucifixion of Saint Andrew” offered museum visitors the unique opportunity to directly observe the conservation of one of the museum’s mas-terpieces, a fifteenth-century work by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the renowned Italian Renais-sance painter.

This exhibition attracted over 32,000 visitors, provid-ing each of them with a rare glimpse into the skill, planning, research, and technical analysis that ac-companies every conservation project. For scheduled times throughout the show, Dean Yoder, the museum’s conservator of paintings, was stationed in the gallery to perform the first phase of conservation, field ques-tions from curious visitors, and explain the application of conservation equipment.

Conservation in Focus offered a rare opportunity for the museum’s visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of one of the museum’s most essential activities: the care and preservation of its renowned permanent collection.

Adding to the interactive nature of the exhibition, visitors were invited to “ask an expert” about the exhibition, conservation treatment, or the work of art itself. For every week of the exhibition, five different questions and answers were featured on the CMA blog.

International Cleveland Community DayNow in its third year, the International Cleveland Community Day has become the museum’s signa-ture celebration of our region’s richly diverse cultural communities. Initially conceived as an opportunity to inaugurate the opening of the Ames Family Atrium and to welcome members of our community into the space, the now annual event strives to highlight the museum’s role as a gathering place for all members of our community throughout the year.

Bringing together nearly fifty groups and organiza-tions for an astonishing display of costumes, music, dance, and performance, the free, all-day celebration attracted more than 3,000 participants and visitors.

“Thank you for starting the conversation.” –Blueprint Roundtable Attendee

Hank Willis ThomasFrom October 2013 through March 2014, the mu-seum mounted a contemporary photography and multimedia exhibition featuring the work of Hank Willis Thomas, a provocative and highly acclaimed contemporary African American artist.

Designed to be an interactive, city-wide exhibition, Hank Willis Thomas activated Cleveland audiences and neighborhood communities in an extraordinary way.

Recognizing the exhibition’s engagement poten-tial across communities, representatives from nearly forty organizations played a leading role in spreading the word about dialogues, tours, lectures, and other events related to Hank Willis Thomas. In total, more than 500 people from 19 different schools, churches, and community organizations took part in 25 guided tours of the exhibition.

The Blueprint Roundtable was another centerpiece of these collaborative efforts. The museum, Cleveland Clinic, and Cleveland Central Promise Neighbor-hood each hosted a panel discussion that featured local African American businessmen, professors, art-ists, and religious leaders. Panelists explored issues of mentorship, race, and the future of African American

neighborhoods. Thanks to the outreach efforts of our community partners, the series attracted a total audi-ence of more than 1,200.

In Search of the Truth (The Truth Booth), a colossal inflat-able walk-in cartoon speech bubble with the word Trut printed on the side, proved to be a popular and highly interactive element of the exhibition. Par-ticipants were encouraged to enter the booth and complete the statement, “The truth is . . .” As a dy-namic and moveable exhibition, The Truth Booth had previously traveled around the world, from Ireland to Afghanistan. In Cleveland, the exhibition was staged at nine locations including Cuyahoga Community Col-lege’s East, West, and Metro campuses, Facing History New Tech, the Word Church, the Transformer Station, Central Promise Neighborhood, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Distinguished Gentlemen of Spoken Word perform at the Blueprint Roundtable.

Ai Weiwei, Circle of Animals/Zodiac HeadsFrom July 2013 through March 2014, Chinese con-temporary artist Ai Weiwei’s installation of twelve bronze sculptures representing the animals of the Chinese zodiac was exhibited in the Ames Family Atrium. As a political activist and dissident of the Chinese government, Ai Weiwei’s work is charged with issues of cultural patrimony, national pride, and China’s ongoing relationship with its own history.

The larger-than-life works proved to be remark-ably interactive and engaging, often eliciting a playful response from visitors of all ages. As the first major exhibition in the Ames Family Atrium, the installation activated the space in a new and exciting way.

ArtLensArtLens, the museum’s free app, originally premiered in January 2013 in conjunction with the opening of Gallery One. Designed to provide access to the mu-seum’s world-class permanent collection whether in the galleries or at home, ArtLens includes video inter-views with curators, artists’ biographies, and descrip-tions of the techniques employed in creating works of art. By scanning selected works on display, visitors can reveal additional information and invites them to take a closer look.

In an unprecedented combination of technology interfaces, rented or visitor-owned devices can be docked at the Collection Wall, where visitors can save objects from the wall to their device, creating a play-list of favorites. Visitors can then author a custom tour from their list of favorites, saving their tour in their mobile devices and on the Collection Wall for other visitors to discover. Through this feature, ArtLens provides a a mobile experience that allows visitors to navigate throughout the entire museum, both physically and virtually from off site, providing far-reaching access to media-rich stories for the museum’s treasured works of art.

Just over one year after its debut, ArtLens was en-hanced to accomodate multiple operating systems and upgraded to include full search capabilities as well as the most accurate way-finding and proximity capabili-ties—within one meter of the visitor’s location—of any comparable museum app.

COLLABORATINGAcademic Collaborations For the fourth straight season, the museum welcomed young musicians from the Cleveland Institute of Music and the joint program with Case Western Reserve University’s early and baroque music pro-grams to perform a series of free monthly Gallery Concerts in the museum.

Offering a unique blend of well-known chamber mu-sic favorites as well as rare selections, these outstanding artists performed against the backdrop of the mu-seum’s permanent collection, creating a wholly unique and intimate experience for visitors.

The museum’s commitment to scholarship and artistic excellence is also manifested in its partnership with Case Western Reserve University through the creation of the Nancy and Joseph Keithley Institute for Art History, which will help both institutions real-ize the ideal of a joint doctoral program that advances both institutions and prepares future curators, scholars, museum directors, and academic leaders.

The museum’s collaboration with the Bidwell Foundation at the Transformer Station has helped transform the Hingetown neighborhood..

Transformer StationThe Cleveland Museum of Art presented three van-guard exhibitions at the Transformer Station in 2014. Hank Willis Thomas was on view December 14, 2013, to March 8, 2014, and two concurrent exhibitions, Anicka Yi: Death and Julia Wachtel are scheduled for October 11, 2014, through January 17, 2015.

Built in 1924 to convert power for the Detroit Av-enue streetcar line, the Transformer Station, located at 1460 West 29th Street in Ohio City, was purchased by art collectors Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell in 2011. After undergoing an extensive restoration and ex-pansion, the space opened in early 2013. Through an innovative collaboration with the Bidwell Foundation, the Cleveland Museum of Art is able to program exhibitions at the Transformer Station for six months each year.

This unique partnership has allowed the museum to showcase cutting-edge exhibitions and present special programming such as Ohio City Stages, a series of global music block parties that took place every Wednesday in July outside the Transformer Station. As a west-side satellite, the Transformer Station provides a gateway to new audiences for the museum.

Teen ProgramsEach year, the museum offers a number of ongoing programs aimed exclusively at engaging local teenag-ers. Over the span of two years, participants in Museum Ambassadors have engaged in hands-on projects inspired by the work of museum profession-als to develop the students’ twenty-first-century skills. In the 2013–14 school year, the Museum Ambassadors program served approximately sixty students from eight schools around northeast Ohio.

Outside the school day, ten students participated in the intensive Teen CO-OP program. After a rigorous se-lection process, students trained to work with visitors and created museum programming for their peers. The CO-OP produced a Teen Guide for the permanent collection, created videos about artworks, and facili-tated projects during monthly Second Sundays Family Days. Throughout the year, participants planned and executed art-making events for their peers, culminat-ing in Teen Night at the museum. The first Teen Night exceeded student attendance goals threefold. Through both Museum Ambassadors and the Teen CO-OP, the museum hopes to empower teens to take owner-ship of the museum and learn to work collaboratively toward shared goals.

295,021 participants in community engagement activities

. = 100 PARTICIPANTS

Neighborhood Partnerships Together with our community partners, the museum continued to explore collaborations with residents, community organizations, churches, and Boys and Girls Clubs in three neighboring communities on Cleveland’s east side: Collinwood, Glenville, and Hough.

In each of these neighborhoods, the museum invited residents to take part in a series of dialogues that examined how arts and culture could address specific needs in their communities. Ultimately, these community conversations yielded an action plan for broadening the museum’s arts programming and accessibility to residents of all backgrounds.

Following the community conversations, individual communi-ty partners ensured the implementation of the resulting collaborative projects. Thanks to their leadership, a number of new educational programs were delivered to nearly 3,500 school children over the course of the year. Participants took part in activities ranging from museum educator-led art instruction to summer literacy programs that incorporated the museum’s app, ArtLens.

To maintain and grow these partnerships, the museum organized a series of meetings throughout the year during which museum and community partners reported on the progress of current and future projects. Ongoing dialogues and programming with our community partners remain a priority for the museum. By continuing to develop relationships with residents and local leaders, the museum hopes to better serve the neighborhoods surrounding the museum and those of all of Greater Cleveland.

John Luther AdamsAs part of the museum’s Performing Arts Series, the Pulitzer Prize–winning composer John Luther Adams performed Inuksuit at Lake View Cemetery on Sep-tember 21. Scored for up to ninety-nine percussion-ists meant to be widely dispersed in an outdoor area, Inuksuit has been performed around the world and is a remarkable environmental piece during which the listener is attuned to music and the sounds of the natural world. The Cleveland performance brought together musicians from six states and attracted nearly 1,000 attendees for the day-long musical experience.

As companion pieces, Adams’s Veils and Vesper was mounted in St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ohio City from September 21 through November 8. The six-hour, ten-speaker immersive sound installation fea-tured different electronic compositions that could be heard successively or concurrently as visitors moved throughout the church. In collaboration with the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, the recently restored St. John’s Church was transformed into a place of contemplation and meditation.

“Listeners are free to discover their own individual listening points, which actively shapes their experience.”

Second Sundays: Family DaysSince January 2013 the museum’s Second Sundays Family Days has engaged families with the perma-nent collection and special exhibitions through fun and interactive art-making activities that are enjoyable for people of all ages. Over the past year, visitors to Second Sundays re-created the city of Cleveland with cardboard boxes in the Ames Family Atrium, created their own family coat of arms, and used LEDs to make magical, mythical underground animals. Art Stories, an experience that blends children’s literature and art history, and the Art Cart, which allows visitors to handle real objects from the museum’s permanent col-lection, are regularly offered during Second Sundays.

Last year’s Second Sundays Family Days attracted more than 36,000 participants.
