FY 2010 was a productive year for BAM! The Museum presented 13 exhibitions, ofwhich all but one were organized by our curatorial staff, accessioned 184 artworksinto the permanent collection, and reached more than 25,000 people througheducational programs. Of BAM’s many accomplishments, I am particularly proud of our efforts to expandthe Museum’s relevance for audiences and engage our community in new and interesting ways.

For example, we complemented the exhibition, Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon, with a concurrentdisplay of working robots created by the Boise, Meridian and Nampa High School FIRST Robotics teams. Thecollaboration with FIRST Robotics teams demonstrated the links between art and science and connectedviewers with young robotics entrepreneurs in our community. These exhibitions served as the backdrop forour inaugural Family Day, during which more than 1,000 visitors drew robots, participated in guided tours ofthe exhibitions and watched robotics demonstrations, resulting in the highest single day admission revenuefor BAM since 2006. The Museum also offered unique opportunities for audiences to connect with theexhibition, A Survey of Gee’s Bend Quilts. BAM brought Gee’s Bend artists China Pettway and LouisianaBendolph to Boise for several educational programs including a quilting demonstration, a panel discussionabout the exhibition, an in-gallery art talk and a special quilting workshop for students from a local middleschool. These programs brought new audiences, new members and new life to the Museum.

Over the past decade, BAM has been one of the most important visual art education resources in theTreasure Valley, and FY 2010 was no different. More than 11,800 students visited the Museum to participatein the Free School Tour Program, and the ArtReach outreach program served a record 6,570 students inrural classrooms, thanks in part to continued funding from the Institute for Museum and Library Services anda $45,000, two-year grant from the MetLife Foundation. Teen Nights and a Portfolio Review Workshop forhigh school students, coordinated by BAM’s new volunteer Teen Advisory Committee, attracted a typicallyhard-to-reach teen audience. Another 7,000 toddlers, families, adults and seniors enjoyed guided tours,hands-on art activities, workshops, camps and classes. These arts experiences equip participants with theessential lifelong skills of critical thinking, communication, imagination and creativity.

BAM also reached out to audiences through exciting new events and programs. The Museum launchedthe dynamic More Than a Pretty Face program and fundraiser, designed to benefit both BAM and Boise’svibrant artist community. For the program, arts patrons and BAM members commissioned local artists tocreate new works of art, which were unveiled at an annual gala attended by 250 people and thenexhibited in the Museum. More Than a Pretty Face will become an annual event at BAM, helping to fosterrelationships among artists, patrons and the Museum, and encouraging art enthusiasts to learn about thebroad and creative pool of contemporary artists working in Boise. BAM members also added to theirpersonal art collections by purchasing artworks at the New 2U Art Sale and 55th annual Art in the Park.New Museum benefits, such as discounted movie tickets to the Flicks and reduced admission to the IdahoBotanical Garden, provided extra value for our members.

To reflect our renewed commitment to our public service role, BAM updated its mission statement in FY2010. The new mission statement, to create visual arts experiences, engage people, and inspire learningthrough exceptional exhibitions, collections, and educational programs, will act as a starting point for allMuseum communications, increasing audience awareness of our services, roles and responsibilities.

BAM will continue to explore the new ideas that characterized our exhibitions, programs and events in FY2010. We are committed to building on these accomplishments and creating new visual arts experiencesthat will exhilarate and enrich the lives of people throughout our community. I am grateful to the trustees,staff, volunteers, members, artists, sponsors, donors, contributors and community members whoparticipated at BAM throughout the last year.

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

For more than a decade, I have been involved with the Boise Art Museum as amember, education docent, donor and patron. I was honored to serve as thePresident of BAM’s Board of Trustees over the past year, a role which allowed me towork closely with the exceptional staff, trustees and volunteers whose commitment to the arts is unrivaled.Year after year, they produce and present among the most exciting, thought-provoking and outstandingexhibitions, educational programs and events that our community has to offer.

BAM has always been a place for reflection, creativity and dialogue about issues of importance in ourdaily lives. The exhibitions Gee’s Bend Quilts and Patchwork: Historical Quilts explored themes of race andgender, while Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon and Devorah Sperber: Threads of Perception promotedan understanding of the ways in which technology have impacted society and art. Idea as Art and TheHerbert and Dorothy Vogel Collection: 50 Works for 50 States provided audiences with an opportunity tolearn about some of the nation’s most significant contemporary conceptual and minimalist artists, whilethe exhibition Corrugated invited viewers to experience the fantastical and whimsical large-scalecardboard sculptures of California artist Ann Weber. Several exhibitions, including James Castle, Kid Stuffand Full Circle, offered an in-depth look at the Museum’s permanent collection, which now holds morethan 3,000 works of art.

As a BAM docent, I am especially proud of the Museum’s work to educate children in our communityabout the visual arts. Over the past year, nearly 12,000 Idaho students participated in a free docent-guided tour at BAM, followed by an art making activity in the Museum’s education studios. On docenttours it was gratifying to see the students’ enthusiasm to view original artworks and experiment with artmaterials and techniques. Many of these students had never been to an art museum before, and theirexperiences at BAM invariably opened the door to a world of creativity and discovery that is notuniversally available in our public schools.

There are countless other ways in which BAM positively impacts our community. Events such as Art in thePark stimulate the local economy and help local artists and craftspeople. Lectures by artists, workshops,classes and free admission days allow people from all walks of life to learn about art in a welcoming,stimulating environment. Outreach to rural schools ensures that underserved students have access to thearts, and special programs for seniors and veterans provide art experiences to those who may nototherwise be able to visit the Museum.

Looking back, I am pleased at how much BAM has achieved in one year, and I know that more is tocome. None of this would be possible without the support of our donors, members and visitors. Weappreciate all of you who come to the Museum again and again, bringing open minds through our opendoors. We know that you, our friends and supporters, share our passion and determination to ensure ourcommunity’s active engagement in the art available through BAM.

Raised in Garden Valley, Idaho, Castle wasborn deaf and never learned to read, write oruse sign language. However, he developed asophisticated means of communicationthrough drawing and devoted a lifetime to thecreation of his own images. Castle ignoredtraditional drawing materials in favor ofdiscarded cardboard, paper scraps andhomemade charcoal dyes. Using these materi-als, he produced drawings, assemblages andbooks illustrating his rural Idaho environment,including landscapes, buildings, self-portraits,family pictures and fantasy forms. The exhibi-tion celebrated Castle’s growing nationalrenown and showcased a representativeselection of BAM’s Castle holdings, the largestmuseum collection of his works.

Devorah SperberThreads of PerceptionJune 20 – September 20, 2009

The second exhibition in BAM’s Threads ofPerception series, New York artist DevorahSperber combined commonplace materialswith simple optical devices to investigate theconnections among art, perception and tech-nology. Her works address the complexrelationship between the way we think we seeand the way the brain actually processesimages. Her most recent works examinefamous paintings from art history. Sperber usesthe computer to pixilate the images and thenreproduces the pixilations with thousands ofspools of colored thread. She then inverts thespool-constructed pictures so that the image isviewed up side down and recognizable onlywhen viewed through an acrylic sphere. To thenaked-eye the thread spool sculpure appearsas patterns of color, but when viewed throughthe specially designed acrylic sphere, theimages spring into focus. Sperber's works wererecently presented at the John Michael KohlerArts Center and the Brooklyn Museum and infeatured in articles in the New Yorker, the NewYork Times and Sculpture Magazine.

A Survey of Gee’s Bend Quilts October 10, 2009 – January 17, 2010

Hailed by the New York Times as “some of themost miraculous works of modern art Americahas produced,” the abstract quilts from the tiny,isolated African-American community of Gee’sBend, Alabama, prompted a rethinking ofcommonly accepted artistic categories.Throughout much of the twentieth century,making quilts was considered a domesticresponsibility for the African-American women inGee’s Bend, an area of Rehoboth and Boykin,Alabama. As young girls, many of the womentrained or apprenticed in their craft with theirmothers, female relatives, or friends. Women withlarge families often made dozens upon dozensof quilts over the course of their lives. Theexhibition featured 25 quilts created between1940 – 2007, as well as 20 contemporary prints,inspired by the quilts, created by several of theGee’s Bend artists.Organized by Tinwood Media and the Boise Art MuseumSponsored by the J.

Robots: Evolution of a Cultural IconFebruary 6 – May 16, 2010Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon examinedthe development of robot iconography in fineart over the past 50 years. In 1920, the termrobot was coined from a Czech word robota,which means tedious labor. Since then, theimage and the idea of a robot have evolvedremarkably from an awkward, mechanicalcreature to a sophisticated android with artifi-cial intelligence and the potential forhuman-like consciousness. As robotic technol-ogy catches up with the wild imagination ofscience fiction novels, movies, and animation,dreams and fears anticipated in these storiesmay also become reality. Artists included inthe exhibition have responded to the techno-logical innovation with optimism, pessimism,and humor, presenting work that ultimatelyexplored our attitudes toward robots.Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon was organized by theSan Jose Museum of Art.

More Than aPretty FaceApril 27 – June 13, 2010

This was the first yearfor More Than a PrettyFace, an event thatpromises to becomean exciting annual tradition at the Boise ArtMuseum.

Modeled after a dynamic program developed at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, More Thana Pretty Face encourages a new, diverse group ofpeople to envision themselves as patrons ofcontemporary art, while cultivating lasting relation-ships between artists and patrons.

As part of the More Than a Pretty Face program,patrons can meet the artists, visit their studios,commission new artworks, and garner inspirationfrom their creative insights, ideas and art-makingprocesses. It is through this personal relationship thatMore Than a Pretty Face encourages active andenthusiastic patronage.

During the fall and winter 2009, friends of the BoiseArt Museum attended a series of seven Salons heldin private residences. During the Salons, the BoiseArt Museum showcased the extraordinary talent of42 Idaho artists working in a variety of styles andmedia. In the beautiful homes so generouslyoffered by the hosts and hostesses, friends excitedlyshared their first impressions of the artists and inter-est in the commission process.

The 16 artists who received commissions workedcollaboratively with patrons. While the programtitle, More Than a Pretty Face, implies portraiture asthe subject, artists and patrons were encouragedto consider both traditional representation andartworks that push past conventional forms andalso to consider how art could become a shared vision.

Proceeds from the 17 commissioned artworks,unveiled April 24, 2010, as the centerpiece of theBoise Art Museum’s Annual Benefit Gala, supportedboth the local artists and the Boise Art Museum’sexhibition and education programs. More Than aPretty Face has been an inspiring endeavor for theMuseum. We hope the contemporary art createdthrough this project encourages even more artisticjourneys.
