I am pleased to report that in addition to the many accomplishments outlined in the following report, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) made robust progress in Fiscal Year 2016 toward the future expansion of our La Jolla campus. The Board of Directors, led by President Matthew Strauss and 75th Anniversary Campaign Chair Maryanne Pfister, moved the Museum steadily toward its $75 million fundraising goal and the public announcement of this aspirational plan to quadruple gallery space in La Jolla from 10,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet.

As we worked toward the future, the Museum’s exhibitions paid tribute to long-standing relationships with both artists and community members. Highlights included San Diego Collects, an exhibition which demonstrated the fullness of our community’s collecting spirit. Anchored by MCASD’s 1962 canvas Ace, Ed Ruscha Then & Now: Paintings from the 1960s and 2000s celebrated this iconic artist’s long and influential career. Both of the exhibitions Alvaro Blancarte: Marking the Present and Papel Chicano Dos: Works on Paper from the Collection of Cheech Marin honored relationships between the Museum and prominent figures in Latin American Art, and renewed MCASD’s commitment to presenting work from the greater San Diego-Tijuana region.

The Museum hosted several successful fundraising events, most notably Monte Carlo: Glamping, skillfully chaired by Melissa Garfield Bartell, Rusti Bartell, and Helene Ziman; and the tenth Biennial Art Auction, which featured a live and silent auction of artworks donated by internationally recognized artists and emerging contemporary artists. These events provided key support for MCASD’s art acquisitions, exhibitions, and education programs.

MCASD was proud to receive a prestigious Museums Connect grant through the American Alliance of Museums for the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Through this grant MCASD’s Teen Advisory Group (TAG) participated in a year-long international exchange project in partnership with Mexico City’s Museo Tamayo. The project FOCUS: Youth Empowerment through Social Practice Art: Strategies for Coping with Violence and Trauma was ground-breaking and had far-reaching effects on the participants, their families, the educators involved, and the many members of the San Diego and Mexico City communities who experienced the resulting showcase exhibition.

Throughout Fiscal Year 2016 MCASD endeavored to bring top-quality exhibitions, education programs, events, and community activities to both of our locations to fulfill the Museum’s mission to serve as a forum for the exploration and understanding of contemporary art and ideas. Our success would not have been possible without the collaborative effort and creative energies of numerous artists, loyal donors, and a dedicated staff. On behalf of the Museum’s Trustees, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who made Fiscal Year 2016 a remarkable

year at MCASD.

< MCASD ANNUAL REPORT > EDUCATION / PUBLIC PROGRAMS

EDUCATION

MCASD provides public access to contemporary art, artists, and

the creative process. The Education Department supports the

institutional mission by offering resources that lead to further

exploration and experimentation, knowledge building, and

engagement for all visitors.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS

MCASD’s public programs support and amplify the content of

exhibitions and invite public interaction with contemporary art.

We offer a diverse range of lectures, artist talks, field trips, public

tours, film screenings, and art-making workshops for families

that offer audiences the opportunity to engage with artwork and

exhibitions beyond the gallery.

During Fiscal Year 2016, the Museum presented 81 public

programs. From sunsets enjoyed with the community at our

free, weekly Shore Thing program, to the launch of Downtown

at Sundown, here’s a look at the contributions that enriched our

community in Fiscal Year 2016.

SESSIONS IN CONTEMPORARY ART

Sessions in Contemporary Art is designed to expand your

knowledge of today’s art world. In Fiscal Year 2016, this seminar-

style course was led by Deputy Director, Art and Programs

Kathryn Kanjo, Associate Curator Jill Dawsey, Assistant Curator

Anthony Graham, and Education Curator Cris Scorza. Sessions

examined 40 contemporary artists whose work has emerged

or become prominent in the last decade. From artists changing

perspectives on medium, to those with close ties to our region

and beyond, each week participants explored the artists shaping

the art world of today.

PERSPECTIVES

Perspectives is a series that invites the public to take a seat at

the table with artists, curators, and specialists in various fields

of knowledge and enjoy enriched discussions about works of art

or exhibitions.

An Artist’s Perspective offers a deeper understanding of works

on view by hearing directly from the artists themselves. Using

a featured artist’s work as a launch pad to explore broad topics

in contemporary art, this conversation invites participants to be

challenged and inspired.

Led by an MCASD curator, A Curator’s Perspective provides

an opportunity for visitors to ask questions and learn about

exhibitions, artists’ processes, or particular works of art. This

program takes place soon after an exhibition opens and offers

first-hand knowledge about the installation and curatorial

process directly from the curator.

There are multiple entry points into the world of contemporary

art, and An Outside Perspective invites visitors to explore issues

emerging from exhibitions by hearing from a specialist in another

field of knowledge: music, film, architecture, and even science.

In Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD’s Perspectives program served

262 visitors.

AXLINE LECTURE

Since 2000, MCASD and The San Diego Museum of Art have

partnered to present the annual Axline Lecture in honor of

Jackie and Rea Axline, long-time trustees and supporters of

both museums who bequeathed generous endowments to both

institutions in 1999. Hosted in alternate years by each museum,

this annual event offers an opportunity to thank current museum

Members and donors for their support throughout the year.

EDUCATION

In Fiscal Year 2016, the Axline lecture featured internationally

renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado. The Brazilian-

born artist’s black-and-white photographs are among the most

influential images of our time—capturing the grim realities of

industrialization in developing countries, the toll of warfare,

and the degradation of the natural environment. Salgado was

the subject of the Oscar-nominated 2014 documentary The

Salt of the Earth, directed by acclaimed German filmmaker Wim

Wenders and the artist’s son, Juliano Riviera Salgado.

FILM PROGRAMS

Film continues to be a relevant part of MCASD’s programming. In

Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD presented The Impossible Railroad. The

documentary tells the dramatic story of the 13 year-long struggle

to build the San Diego and Arizona Railway from San Diego to

Yuma. Guests were treated to an introduction by the filmmakers,

Marianne and Michael Gerdes.

DOWNTOWN AT SUNDOWN

In Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD launched Downtown at Sundown.

Activating the Museum’s Core Columbia neighborhood, this after-

hours program series offers free admission and programming

from 5 to 8 PM on the third Thursday of each month. Visitors

enjoy complimentary exhibition tours, DJ-spun tunes, free entry

at the SDSU Downtown Gallery, drink specials at the adjacent

Stone Brewing Company Store, food trucks, and more.

In Fiscal Year 2016, more than 4,500 people attended

Downtown at Sundown. Successful collaborations with

local performing arts organizations including Art of Elan,

TranscenDANCE, San Diego International Film Festival, Intrepid

Theatre Company, Villa Musica, City Ballet, and more. These

partnerships resulted in enriching performances at Downtown

at Sundown events.

SHORE THING

This popular free series continued to offer late hours in the

galleries every Thursday night throughout the summer. Guests

enjoyed tours of exhibitions, live music, a cash bar, and the

chance to mingle with old friends and new on the greens of the

seaside Edwards Family Sculpture Garden. In Fiscal Year 2016,

more than 3,400 visitors attended this program.

KIDS AND FAMILY PROGRAMS

SUMMER C.A.M.P. (CONTEMPORARY ART, MEDIA &

PROCESS)

MCASD successfully welcomed 260 students age 5 to 15 for

three weeks of art-making workshops led by local artists.

C.A.M.P.ers discovered out-of-the ordinary materials and

learned about artists’ processes as they discussed artwork in

the Museum’s galleries.

FAMILY ARTLAB

Family ArtLAB combines an in-gallery conversation and hands-on

art-making experience to allow families with 5- to 11-year-old

children to further explore processes and materials inspired by

the works on view.

In Fiscal Year 2016, five Family ArtLAB programs welcomed 200

participants who explored the exhibitions Ed Ruscha Then &

Now: Paintings from the 1960s and 2000s, San Diego Collects,

and Do Ho Suh.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS

School programs at MCASD served students and educators in

public, charter, and independent schools, as well as professors

teaching at higher education institutions and out-of-school

time programs. These audiences were served through a robust

offering of tour experiences, the Extended School Partnership

(ESP) program, and many other Educator programs.

TOUR EXPERIENCES

MCASD continued to play a critical role in the cultural

development of our community during Fiscal Year 2016, focusing

on tour experiences designed to serve the public, 6 to 12th grade

school groups, higher education students, community groups,

and adult groups. These experiences served a diverse population

that included audiences as far south as San Ysidro, and as far

east as Poway.

Types of tours offered in Fiscal Year 2016:

• LOOK/ EXPLORE TOURS are hour-long, student-centered

dialogues in which students gain a greater understanding of the

works on view through visual inquiry and in-gallery activities.

• ArtLAB WORKSHOPS build on the Look/Explore Tour with an

additional hour of hands-on art making experience in which

students further explore process and materials.

• SELF-GUIDED TOURS give higher education professors and

instructors the ability to reserve space for their class to visit

the Museum as a group at a particular time.

• FOCUS TOURS are one-hour, dialogue-based tours for adult

and higher education groups focused on one of the Museum’s

special exhibitions.

MCASD continued to demonstrate a commitment to equitable

access through free-of-cost guided tours for public school groups

and select community groups, needs-based MCASD transit

scholarship for Title 1 schools, free-of-cost self-guided tours for

higher education groups, and free admission to visiting school

groups and higher education group members age 25 and younger.

EXTENDED SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP (ESP) PROGRAM

MCASD’s Extended School Partnership (ESP) program empowers

teachers to use the Museum as an extension of the classroom.

By developing the teacher’s ability to incorporate contemporary

art into their curriculum, MCASD provides a way to reinstate

arts-based learning in the classroom. The program consists of

professional learning opportunities for the classroom teacher,

a pre-visit session in the school, multiple weeks of class visits to

the Museum, and mid-term critic sessions at the school. At the

end of the program, MCASD hosts a culminating event inviting

the school’s community, as well as students’ families and friends,

to celebrate their accomplishments and showcase their artwork

at the Museum.

During Fiscal Year 2016, the Museum collaborated with 42

teachers, serving 1,660 students and hosting 13 showcases

with partnering schools. This year’s partners include Chula

Vista High School; The Bishop’s School; ArtsTECH High School

(University City High School); Kearny High School-Engineering,

Innovation & Design; La Jolla Country Day; Mt. Miguel High

School; San Diego School of Creative & Performing Arts;

Kearny High School-Digital Media Design; Old Town Academy;

The Charter School of San Diego; San Diego High School of

International Studies; Knox Middle School; Hoover High School;

and Hilltop High School.

EDUCATOR PROGRAMS

MCASD believes in the value of professional development for

educators and continued to offer programs to help develop their

capacity to integrate the arts into their classrooms.

In Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD kicked off the academic year with

a professional development session for educators. Attendees

learned how to incorporate contemporary art and in-gallery

teaching techniques into curricula across various content areas.

32

< MCASD ANNUAL REPORT > EDUCATION

MCASD partner teachers and Gallery Educators led break-out

sessions followed by a brown bag lunch. The event featured a talk

by Bruce Semelsberger, Historian and volunteer librarian at the

Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in Campo.

TEEN PROGRAMS

TEEN ADVISORY GROUP (TAG)

Composed of 15 diverse teens representing high schools from

across San Diego, MCASD’s Teen Advisory Group (TAG) explores

contemporary art by meeting with local artists and discussing

art in the Museum’s galleries. TAG also imagines, develops, and

realizes projects designed to reach the wider Museum audience.

In the beginning of Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD received one of

seven grants awarded by Museums Connect, a joint initiative

of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and

Cultural Affairs and the American Alliance of Museums (AAM).

Museums Connect pairs museums in the United States with

museums abroad for a cross-cultural exchange that brings

people, especially youth, together through community projects

that address topics of local relevance. Since its inception,

Museums Connect has linked American museums in 27 states

and the District of Columbia with partners in 49 countries,

including Afghanistan, Brazil, China, Honduras, India, Kenya,

Morocco, Nigeria, and Ukraine, among others.

As a part of this grant, MCASD’s Teen Advisory Group (TAG)

embarked on a yearlong program, Youth Empowerment through

Social Practice Art: Strategies for coping with violence and trauma.

MCASD selected TAG Members to serve as the teen participants in

the Museums Connect cultural exchange.

This program enabled youth to find meaning and expression

through the power of the arts and empowered them to envision

solutions through creative interventions. The projects the youth

produced examined the impact of violence on teen lives. The

teens themselves focused on a topic within violence, such as

intra-familial violence, dating violence, gangs and cartels, or gun

use as the focus of their artistic work.

Teens (20 in each country) from underserved areas around San

Diego and Mexico City connected with social practice artists

who specialize in film and photography and have experience

working with teens while addressing issues of social and

political violence. The initiative culminated in a public exhibition

presented in both countries.

ART OASIS

For the second consecutive year, MCASD worked in partnership

with Combat Arts, a local nonprofit organization that provides art

experiences for combat troops, to offer ArtOASIS—an arts-based

program to support the recovery of active duty military personnel

overcoming Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Through the

ArtOASIS program, the Museum offered a series of private gallery

tours and weekly art-making workshops that culminated in a

publicly presented and celebrated showcase of the participants’

artworks at MCASD La Jolla.

In Fiscal Year 2016, MCASD’s Education Curator Cris Scorza,

local artist Perry Vasquez, and artist and Combat Arts Founder

Elizabeth Washburn worked with military psychologists and

recreational therapists to establish constructive dialogs through

process-oriented art workshops with PTSD patients.

ArtOASIS served more than 75 active duty troops during Fiscal

Year 2016. A culminating ArtOASIS Showcase, on view at MCASD

La Jolla from July 29 through September 4, 2016, featured

original works of art created by participants. The opening

celebration included brunch followed by a panel discussion

where program participants shared their stories about the

impact the program had on their lives.

GALLERY EDUCATORS

MCASD Gallery Educators have been an incredible asset to our programming, building relationships with our audiences and partnering

with school teachers and administrators to develop comprehensive curriculum rooted in contemporary art. In Fiscal Year 2016,

MCASD employed 10 Gallery Educators. With a focus on the educational role of their position, Gallery Educators offered inquiry-based

discussions for visiting schools, higher education, and school groups. Gallery Educators are trained in both exhibition content and

gallery teaching pedagogy on a regular basis to ensure that MCASD offers its visitors the highest quality experience possible.

< MCASD ANNUAL REPORT >CONTRIBUTIONS

MEMBERSHIP

MCASD saw another year of growth in Membership with an

almost 15% increase over the previous fiscal year, offering

Members between 50 and 65 events, lectures, parties, and

programs that invited them to explore contemporary art and

engage with like-minded people. Highlights include The Opening

Night celebrations for both San Diego Collects and Ed Ruscha:

Then and Now: Paintings from the 1960s to 2000s, as well as five

sold-out Field Trips to Tijuana, Tecate, and Los Angeles.

The Museum continued to offer a robust line-up of programs for

Members at every level. The Avant Garde group’s Contemporary

Art Thing (C.A.T.) series included visits to the private home and

studios of artists Jon Brinton Hogan and Jennifer Bennett,

Andrea Chung, and Joe Yorty, as well as a private tour of Avant

Garde Member Ryan Jeffries’s impressive collection.

The Architecture + Design: Meet the New San Diego program

for the Museums’ Donor and Benefactor Circle Members

continued to experience growth with exclusive programing that

included a tour of the private Nissan campus and a look at the

work LUCE et studio completed there, followed by a reception

with Principle Architect Jennifer Luce. Circle Members also

enjoyed an evening in the home of Members Steve Eilenberg

and Marie Tartar, where they toured the Aperture House with

architect Wallace Cunningham.

INTERNATIONAL AND CONTEMPORARY COLLECTORS

The Collectors Circle, comprised of MCA’s International and

Contemporary Collectors Membership Groups, continued to grow

and make a substantial impact on the success of Fiscal Year 2016,

raising funds which directly contributed to the Museum’s diverse

exhibitions and programs.

A highlight of the year, as always, was the Annual Selection

Dinner. The event celebrated 31 years on June 8 and was

sponsored by Northern Trust. Over 100 Members joined and

cast their votes to acquire five new works for the permanent

collection: Ellsworth Kelly’s Trapeze Swings, Meschers, (1950),

Hayv Kahraman’s House in Kathemiya, (2013), Kim Jones’s

Marine Jacket, (2014), and Gillian Wearing’s Rock ‘n’ Roll 70,

(1950) and Wallpaper, (2015).

The Museum’s Travel Committee continued to plan outstanding

domestic and international art-focused trips. The group

travelled internationally to London and Venice where they

enjoyed behind-the-scenes access to private collections, artists’

studios, and contemporary art fairs. The trip began with a tour

of Frieze, London’s contemporary art fair; visits to the private

collections of Jessica McCormack and Michael Rosenfeld,

Sarah Elson, and MCASD Trustee Margaret Jackson; and

intimate studio tours with some of MCASD’s favorites artists

including, Isaac Julian, Yinka Shonibane, and Helen Marten. The

group then travelled to Venice where they toured the Venice

Biennale, one of the world’s premiere festivals of contemporary

and avant-garde art. At All the World’s Future, International

Collectors visited Palazzo Grassi to see Marital Raysse, an

extensive monographic exhibition dedicated to the work of

Raysse, and Punta della Dogana to see Caroline Bourgeois and

Danh Vo’s collaborative exhibition Slip of the Tongue.

Domestically, the group enjoyed traveling to Austin, Texas.

There, Collectors enjoyed private tours of The Contemporary

Austin’s two sites, Laguna Gloria and Jones Center, followed by

visits to the impeccable collections of Deborah Green and Chris

Mattsson. They also visited the renowned Harry Ransom Center,

an internationally recognized humanities research library, to

view selections from the Ed Ruscha Archive and tour Look Inside:

New Photography Acquisitions with Photography Curator Jessica

McDonald. Finally, the group visited the collections of art patrons

Suzanne Deal Booth and Jeanne and Michael Klein.

INSTITUTIONAL GIVING

We are deeply appreciative to the government agencies,

foundations, and corporations that invest in our mission. In Fiscal

Year 2016, grant funding helped to advance key initiatives and

launch exciting new projects.

MCASD was thrilled to be selected to participate in the Getty

Foundation’s 2017 Pacific Standard Time: L.A./L.A. Grants

from the Getty Foundation supported the research and

development of Memories of Underdevelopment, an original,

touring exhibition and publication. The curatorial program was

also strengthened with a grant from The National Endowment

for the Arts towards The Uses of Photography: Art, Politics,

and the Reinvention of a Medium. Additional grant support for

The Uses of Photography came from The Robert Mapplethorpe

Foundation and the LLWW Foundation.

MCASD received an Exploring Engagement Fund award from the

James Irvine Foundation. With this two-year award, the Museum

will be working with local artists to test new ideas for engaging

millennial audiences ages 18 to 26.

MCASD was extremely proud that the Teen Advisory Group (TAG)

program was one of seven international recipients of a Museums

Connect grant award, a joint initiative of the U.S. Department

of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and the

American Alliance of Museums. With this funding, TAG was able

to engage in a year-long collaboration with the Museo Tamayo in

Mexico City, Mexico.

Two grants contributed towards capital improvement projects.

The Museum was awarded a grant from the California Museum

Grant Program (funded through State Proposition 40) to install

additional painting racks at the Foster Family Art Storage

Building. The racks will be essential to the preparations to

consolidate the permanent collection storage during the La Jolla

expansion. The Museum also received $6,250 from County of San

Diego Supervisor Ron Roberts to upgrade the security system at

our Downtown location.

Programs for schools were generously supported by grants from

the Resmed Foundation, Farrell Family Foundation, US Bank,

and Price Philanthropies. The California Arts Council and The

Seeley Foundation continued their grant funding for ArtOASIS, a

program that facilitates arts experiences for active duty military

personnel in residential treatment for combat related stress. The

Mandel Weiss Charitable Trust awarded a grant towards general

operating support.

MCASD remains immensely grateful to the City of San Diego

Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego

Community Enhancement Fund for their outstanding financial

support and advocacy for the arts.

Our 39th annual benefit, Monte Carlo: Glamping, was presented

by San Diego County BMW and sponsored by Shubach Aviation,

Cooley LLP, Riviera, and Rancho Valencia.
