North Dakota Museum of ArtAUTUMN ART AUCTION

EXHIBITION OCTOBER 18 - November 7, 2009

LIVE AUCTION NOVEMBER 7 IN THE MUSEUM GALLERIES

Ten years ago the Museum established its first live auction. Thegoal was to build a buying audience for artists who live in ourregion—maybe we could keep a few closer to home to enrichour own cultural life. Museum Director Laurel Reuter decidedto chose the work herself as a nudge to visit artists’ studios—asummer activity. She also decided to put time and money intoproducing a serious catalog as a way of tracing the history of ourown artists. NDMOA defines the region to include all of NorthDakota, Minnesota, and Manitoba, plus artists who have ongo-ing relationships with the Museum.

Artists are never asked to donate their work, although some do.Rather they set their minimum price and only after that isreached does the Museum begin to share proceeds 50/50.

Unable to come? Bid by phone or place your bids in advance.The evening begins at 6:30 with wine and hors d’oeuvres do-nated by local restaurants. At 8 pm Ross Rolshoven opens thelive auction. Tickets cost $25 in advance, $30 at the door.

The catalog is funded by Museum patrons, supporters, contrib-utors, and advertisers. Contact us if you wish to receive a catalog.And remember, buy local. Read the sponsor pages to learn aboutthose who invest in the Museum and in our community. This pastyear a Museum supporter looked up a realtor in the catalog andasked him to handle a property sale.

Keep the Museum Lights Bright

MUSEUM FINISHES FISCAL YEAR IN THE BLACK

Thanks to the generosity of many, the North Dakota Museum ofArt finished the current fiscal year on June 30, 2009, in the blackand with adequate resources to move into the next season, thatis, to pay salaries for the first two months. This is in marked con-trast to cultural institutions throughout the United States whohave been forced to cut programs and staff. For years, NDMOAhas maintained a slim but highly skilled staff. Our goal was tokeep our core crew intact, which we did. During the Museum’sKeep the Lights Bright Campaign, $74,653 came, mostly desig-nated for general operating. Total individual gifts came to$203,716 during the year. The Trustees and the Staff of the NorthDakota Museum of Art thank you for your essential and deeplyappreciated on-going support.

FEDERAL STIMULUS PROGRAM: Other good news bodes well

for the coming seasons. The Museum was one of only two NorthDakota cultural entities to receive Federal Stimulus money forsalaries in 2009-2010. The National Endowment for the Arts con-sidered over 2,400 requests for grants of either $50,000 or$25,000 and awarded 617 including sixty-three to museums.The Museum will receive $50,000.

RURAL ARTS PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO FLOURISH: The bright

spot is increased funding from the State of North Dakota for theMuseum’s Rural Arts Initiative. This season we are adding week-long ceramic workshops and that will be conducted by Peruvianartist Guillermo (Memo) Guardia, the newest member of the Mu-seum Staff.

BUSH FOUNDATION SUPPORT AT $100,000 ANNUALLY: The

Museum has completed its eleventh year in the Bush Founda-tion’s Regional Arts Development Program. Subsequently, theMuseum will launch the Rural Arts Institute with an Interna-tional Summit held in Grand Forks to explore new methods ofarts delivery for rural communities in the twenty-first century.

MARGARET CARGILL FOUNDATION invited five-hundred entities

from across the U.S. into its inaugural Foundation Charitable Com-munity, each receiving the same $50,000 over five years plusstock, or an equivalent stock gift. NDMOA is the State’s sole invi-tee. The Foundation, which does not accept unsolicited requestsfor support, is responsible for identifying appropriate charitable or-ganizations and making grants in the areas of arts, environment,humane treatment of animals, and quality of life.
