FROM THE 2014 PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

It’s always difficult to sum a year’s activities and successes, and NOMA had a particularly tremendous year in 2014. In my final year as board president, I witnessed the museum successfully complete an ambitious exhibition schedule that included Mel Chin: Rematch, Photography and the American Civil War, Rising Up: Hale Woodruff’s Murals at Talladega College, and Behind Closed Doors: Art in the Spanish-American Home, 1492-1898. The year was capped with the marvelous photorealism exhibition from one of the finest collections in the world, held by Sydney and Walda Besthoff. Our budget increased nearly 15%, which has allowed staff to continue to develop new exhibitions and initiatives, and strengthen existing programs. The museum initiated and completed an ambitious strategic plan to set the museum up for long-term success. This plan, the result of a yearlong intensive series of sessions within the board and with assistance from NOMA staff, uses a five-pillar strategy: enriched collections, enhanced arts education, expanded demographic reach, upgraded technology, and ensured financial stability. NOMA certainly enriched its collection in 2014, with the installation of a superb sculpture by the late Roy Lichtenstein. The prominent placement of Five Brushstrokes in the reflection pool in front of the museum has been a warm welcome to visitors ever since. The year concluded with the election of a strong slate of new trustees, a group of civic-minded business and community leaders who have led the museum into an energetic 2015. I am confident that with this talented board of trustees and a capable staff, NOMA will continue to be the premier arts organization of the Gulf South. It was a singular personal privilege to serve such a fine board as its president and to support the museum’s extraordinarily dedicated and professional staff at every level.

David F. Edwards2014 President of the Board of Trustees



FROM THE DIRECTOR

In 2014, NOMA took a deliberate, focused approach to the ongoing implementation of the museum’s strategic plan. Significant additions to the collection, new education initiatives, expanded programs, broader audiences, and critical financial support underscore some of NOMA’s milestones. NOMA’s collection grew with acquisitions spanning every genre and time period, from photographs by Brett Weston and Carrie Mae Weems to a sixth century Buddhist carving. NOMA’s permanent collection—its greatest resource—continues to provide opportunities for scholarship and interpretation, as evident in a new exhibition model dedicated to highlighting singular objects of importance. Inaugurated with Little Dancer Aged Fourteen by Edgar Degas, on loan from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this focus gallery presented the sculpture in context with impressionist works from NOMA’s collection. The museum’s wide-ranging exhibition schedule also included a major retrospective of Mel Chin, an artist whose oeuvre delves into the provocative realms of conceptual, activist, environmental, and political art; a presentation of Hale Woodruff ’s murals, never seen outside of Talladega College; and Behind Closed Doors, which placed some of NOMA’s Spanish Colonial works alongside those from the Brooklyn Museum. Photography and the American Civil War, an exhibition from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York offered an examination of the camera’s evolving role during this devastating war. NOMA’s strong traveling exhibition program introduced national audiences to Edward Burtynsky: Water and Gordon Parks: The Making of an Argument. Those exhibitions, previously exhibited in New Orleans, continue to educate and inform as they tour nationally. Dr. Fari Nzinga, new to the NOMA staff in 2014, also focused on expanding audience engagement and building diversity. Nzinga, NOMA’s first public policy officer, came to the museum as a fellow from the National Council of Learned Societies Public Fellows program. Out of twenty non-profits and government agencies, NOMA is the only art museum chosen to participate in this program. Transformative philanthropic support allowed NOMA to enhance newly launched programs, like Mini Masters. A generous gift from the Ford Foundation gave this innovative early learning program the opportunity to expand in New Orleans with positive results. Meaningful collaborations with local organizations cultivated the development of new programs and interpretive tools for the galleries, like the NOMA Mobile Guide. The first guide allowed visitors to take a tour of the Besthoff Sculpture Garden with their mobile devices, and today we’ve expanded with other collection highlights tours and in-depth object exploration. In 2014, 230,000 visitors traveled from 64 countries to experience NOMA’s cultural offerings. Through calculated marketing strategies, we will continue to expand our reach to local and global audiences. With each step forward, NOMA is an institution committed to the present as well as the past, while remaining engaged with crucial conversations about the future.

EXHIBITIONS AND COLLECTIONSThe special exhibitions

presented at NOMA served as both complement and context for many of the museum’s strongest collections.

Mel Chin: Rematch, an expansive retrospective of this Houston-born conceptual artist’s work launched the spring season. Behind Closed Doors: Art in the Spanish Colonial Home, 1492-1898 allowed for the presentation of selected NOMA collection treasures within the context of this summer exhibition organized by the Brooklyn Museum. Closing out the year was Photorealism: The Sydney and Walda Besthoff Collection, which highlighted over seventy works from one of the premiere collections in the United States of this genre.

Significant photography projects were presented throughout the year, including the traveling exhibition Photography and the American Civil War, organized by The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Three other exhibitions were drawn primarily from NOMA’s extensive collection: Photo-Unrealism, presented in the Templeman galleries coincident with Photorealism, and two exhibitions in the A. Charlotte Mann and Joshua Mann Pailet Gallery, Sphere of Influence and Emmet Gowin: Concerning America and Alfred Stieglitz, and Myself.

The continued generosity of The Helis Foundation resulted in the naming of a new gallery for modern and contemporary art. Aptly, the naming coincided with

the exhibition Robert Rauschenberg and the Five from Louisiana, which featured Rauschenberg’s Melic Meeting (Spread), 1979, an important work secured in 2013 with support from The Helis Foundation.

The loan of Portrait of Estelle Musson Degas, 1872 by Edgar Degas engendered a reciprocal loan program with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and the inauguration of the Stafford Focus Gallery. This gallery is envisioned as a space where extraordinary collection works or special loans to the museum may be presented. The first of these exhibitions was Degas’ Little Dancer, Aged Fourteen; accompanying the sculpture were works from NOMA’s collection that illuminated the artist’s fascination with ballet.

Traveling exhibitions organized by NOMA expanded the permanent collection’s reach and brought important works of art to a broader community. The loan of individual works to internationally significant exhibitions also reached a high point; objects from NOMA’s collections were seen in major European, Mexican and American venues.

Important works of art were brought into the collection, including two major works for the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. Mimmo Paladino’s Caduto a ragione, 2008 and Yinka Shonibare’s Wind Sculpture V, 2013 were installed late in the year. In the field of Asian art, the sixth-century Buddhist Votive Stele was a major addition to the Chinese collection; and the sixteenth-century Dvarapala enhanced the collection of Indian sculpture.

The parlor suite from the Butler Greenwood Plantation in St. Francisville, Louisiana was a transformative acquisition. This fully intact rococo revival parlor allows NOMA to present and contextualize a complete mid-nineteenth century parlor setting.

Gifts from foundations continued to enhance our collections, notably Thornton Dial’s Ninth Ward, 2011, from the Souls Grown Deep Foundation, Sam Francis’s Untitled, 1984, from the Sam Francis Foundation, and Andy Warhol’s Little Red Book, 17, 1972, a gift of the Andy Warhol Foundation.

INTERPRETATION AND AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT

All of the proceeds from the 2014 Odyssey presented by IBERIABANK supported the continued development of education programs and expansion of access to the museum.

Increasing AccessThe museum encourages the

use of the permanent collection as a rich teaching tool. To expand access, NOMA launched its Educator Toolbox, an online resource for teachers to share lesson plans that use works from NOMA’s collection, upload student artwork, and download teaching guides.

NOMA also released Teaching Posters Set 1, which featured six highlights from the permanent collection. These informative teaching tools offer in-depth information on each work of art, in addition to corresponding lessons and activities that can be used in the classroom.

Early LearningMini Masters, NOMA’s arts

integrated education program for three- and four-year olds, continued to flourish in 2014 with critical support from funders such as the Ford Foundation and Chevron.

In a 2014 study of the program’s second pilot year, students were interviewed at their schools before and after the program. The interviews consisted of viewing and discussing a reproduction of a work of art from

NOMA’s collection. All interviews were videotaped and transcribed, and compared for vocabulary usage.

Mini Masters participants had longer interviews with less need for adult support, and they used more complex vocabulary than they had before.

This shows an increase in higher order thinking skills, and indicates that the program’s goals are being met. The various components of Mini Masters (in-class lessons by a museum educator, multiple museum visits, teacher professional development, free

family museum memberships, and a student art showcase) work together to effectively change developmental environments to support art engagement for preschoolers.

Expanding Literary Connections

Continuing to build on its literary initiatives, the museum partnered with the Mayor’s office and a number of local organizations to present and participate in the New Orleans Book Festival on November 15. NOMA offered

StoryQuest readings in City Park and hosted several author panels in the Stern Auditorium.

In celebration of National Poetry Month, NOMA invited local poet Brod Bagert to give a lecture to the public at the museum.

Building CommunityExhibitions such as

Photography and the American Civil War, Rising Up: Hale Woodruff’s Murals at Talladega College, and Behind Closed Doors: Art in the Spanish American Home, 1492-1898 offered ideal opportunities for robust programs that engaged a cross-section of the community.

Artist Perspective talks given by Ayo Scott, and lectures by noted scholars and writers such as Rebecca Lee Reynolds, PhD, Dr. Sara Hollis of Southern University New Orleans, and Keith Weldon Medley offered insightful discussions around these exhibitions.

In coordination with the closing week of Behind Closed Doors, NOMA held ¡Celebración! on September 12, 2014. This after-hours night of programming, attended by 900 visitors, featured live music and performances, lectures, gallery talks, film screenings, dance demonstrations and more until midnight, all in celebration of Latin culture.

Family Day“Family Day: NOMA

Unleaded” on May 24 celebrated the exhibition Mel Chin: Rematch.

Mel Chin led visitors in creating hand drawn interpretations of $100 bills that represent the funding required to remediate and prevent lead poisoning. Chin’s Fundred Dollar Bill Project was inspired by a visit to post-Katrina New Orleans, where he discovered that a large percentage of inner-city children were affected by elevated levels of lead.

Chin also gave a gallery talk and Q&A discussion with local lead experts, and gave visitors the opportunity to participate in a performance as a screen test for the original hip-hop music video production, “Neurotoxic Element.”

Research and DevelopmentIncreasing technology in the galleries

is a cornerstone of NOMA’s strategic plan. Partnering with local technology group CultureConnect, staff planned several new digital interpretive initiatives that will offer extended information on works of art in the collection. These are scheduled to launch in 2015.

As an institution that aims to cultivate lifelong learning, NOMA seeks to engage community members of all ages. In 2014, NOMA began to develop a suite of new programs for families. NOMA collaborated with Young Audiences and the Wolf Trap Institute to develop Baby Arts Play! at NOMA, a program that aims to instill a love of art in one- and two-year-olds by integrating music, movement, and drama into everyday playtime. Additionally, NOMA initiated the development of a program for those with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, which entered its pilot stage in 2015.

DEVELOPMENT AND EXTERNAL AFFAIRS

In 2014, NOMA further cultivated partnerships with donors and organizations to secure support for program development and sustainment. With several key gifts, the museum was able to increase the capacity and scale of existing programs and continue developing future initiatives.

Mini Masters, NOMA’s early learning program for three- and four-year-olds, continues to grow thanks to vital support in 2014 from the Ford Foundation, the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation, Chevron, and Capital One Bank.

A continued partnership with the Harry T. Howard, III Foundation has resulted in the research and development of an arts-focused after school program that will debut in 2016.

Funding from the New Orleans Theatre Association amplified an already successful collaboration

with local theater group The NOLA Project, which co-produces with NOMA several site-specific theatrical productions in the museum’s Great Hall and Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden.

The Elise M. Besthoff Charitable Foundation also set up a new endowment fund at NOMA. In her bequest, Miss Besthoff established an endowment for NOMA to purchase fine Chinese Export porcelain. The foundation continued her legacy at NOMA with another endowment for the naming of a gallery. The Elise Mayer Besthoff Foundation Gallery, which will be located in the Lupin Foundation Center for the Decorative Arts on the second floor, will feature rotating exhibitions of decorative arts and design in the years to come.

Overall, NOMA has engaged local and national foundation support to increase the scale and outreach of its programs. NOMA also identified new sources of funds and wrote proposals that aligned

The dedicated members of the NOMA Volunteer Committee hit a new

fundraising milestone in 2014; NOMA’s annual Odyssey gala brought in

with funders’ visions and NOMA priorities. As a result, the museum received more recognition for its programs and initiatives for all ages.

The second year of support from the Gulf Tourism and Seafood Promotional Fund came to completion. With the help of this grant, NOMA bolstered its marketing and increased its visibility, reaching visitors across the Gulf South and beyond.

NOMA launched a brand awareness campaign in 2014. The “Art Makes Me…” campaign—which spanned print, digital, and social media—invited friends, fans, and followers to fill in the blank and consider the role that art plays in their lives. An extension of the museum’s continuing rebranding process, “Art Makes Me…” underscored NOMA’s education-based mission.

NOMA Young FellowsNOMA Young Fellows is a community of young professionals,

ages 21-45, who are interested in learning about and engaging with the arts in the New Orleans region, and meeting people with similar interests.

Launched in April 2014, the NOMA Young Fellows, led by a robust steering committee, spent their inaugural year cultivating new members and establishing events and programs.
