AnnualReport2013–14

From the Executive DirectorIn this fast-paced world, brevity rules. We expect information to be succinct and quickly delivered. In a departure from recent years, that is our approach for this year’s Annual Report. It contains fewer pages, with content mostly in bullet points for fast, easy reading. The approach was inspired by our Master Plan, which the Museum Board heartily endorsed in July of 2013. Like a disciplined editor condensing text into bullet points, the Master Plan directs us to examine our efforts and target energies on programs that best serve this community’s needs. The Glen Burnie House is an example. It opened this year with a fresh interpretation and accessible, air-conditioned (!) spaces. We broke new ground in the Museum galleries, as well. Safes of the Valley launched a series of Shenandoah Valley exhibitions, and Becoming Patsy Cline proved that popular-culture themes can be both educational and fun. Our first exhibition of contemporary art, Second Time Around: The Hubcap as Art, was in development, as was Face to Face, which will present portraits from the Julian Wood Glass Jr. Collection. Looking ahead to 2015, we scheduled Mort Künstler: The Art of Adventure, which will reveal a lesser-known facet of this popular artist’s work, and CUT! Costume and the Cinema, which will bring a bit of Hollywood to the Valley.

In the Glen Burnie Gardens, the first garden restoration since the site opened is replacing aging plants, restoring sculptures, increasing accessibility, and adding new spaces. The new Spring Garden will open in 2015 as the first major addition to the formal Glen Burnie Gardens, thanks to funding provided by Kathie Werner. In addition, the Rose Garden will be redesigned and augmented with more roses, the Grand Allée will be completely restored, and both, along with the Pleached Allée and Pink Pavilion, will be made accessible, thanks to the support of Beverley and Steven Shoemaker and the Bowman Charitable Trust. This spring we will formally salute these generous benefactors and provide more details about the new and redesigned spaces their generosity is making possible for all to enjoy. It has been gratifying to see the community respond to these changes. In this fiscal year, Membership increased by 15%, to 1,373 Members (which means there are now more Members than can be printed in this Annual Report!). Visitation increased by 27%, to just over 38,000 visitors. Community programming doubled and included 39 programs that attracted around 10,000 people. Nearly 5,500 people of all ages participated in MSV educational programs.

Recently I was asked the question, “Why should I support the MSV?” My short, bullet-point response? Heritage and cultural life are the heartbeat of a community, and as the bullet points of this Annual Report attest, the MSV preserves and enriches both, for all those who call this community home.

Museum of the Shenandoah Valley 1

2 Annual Report 2013–14

In the Galleries The Shenandoah Valley decorative arts space transformed into a changing-exhibition area. This now provides three concurrent exhibition experiences: one presentation in the Changing Exhibitions Gallery and two smaller ones focused on, respectively, the Julian Wood Glass Jr. and Shenandoah Valley Collections. In this outstanding year for MSV exhibitions, four were presented, one was developed, three were scheduled, and work on an exhibition catalogue was underway.

Summary

u Presented four exhibitions

• American Impressionism: The Lure ofthe Artists’ Colony (May 31–August 4, 2013)

• Moveable Feasts: Entertaining at Glen Burnie (March 5, 2013–September 28, 2014)

• Becoming Patsy Cline (August 29, 2013–July 6, 2014)

• Safes of the Valley (May 10, 2014–March 29, 2015)

u Developed one exhibition

• Second Time Around: The Hubcap as Art (September 5, 2014–March 1, 2015)

u Scheduled three exhibitions

• Face to Face: Portraits from the Julian Wood Glass Jr. Collection (opening November 2014)

• Mort Künstler: The Art of Adventure (opening May 2015)

• CUT! Costume and the Cinema (opening October 2015)

u The exhibition catalogue Opening the Door: Food Safes of the Shenandoah Valley was in development



In the Glen Burnie HouseThe Glen Burnie House saw its most significant transformation since the 1960s. Following this extensive preservation process, the house reopened in June as a multi-purposed, relevant space that tells the story of the Glass and Wood families—including that of Julian Wood Glass Jr. and R. Lee Taylor—and hosts a variety of functions, including revenue-producing private rentals. Highly successful opening celebrations proved the house’s versatility as a gathering place for lectures, meetings, performances, exhibits, and more.

Summary

u Installed new restroom, chairlift, accessible outdoor paths, and other measures to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

u Installed new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems

u Installed new catering kitchen to increase the house’s viability as a rental space

u Revised interpretive approach to freshly tell the story of the families who have lived here

u Installed new exhibition lighting and casework

u Opened house with a successful series of events—The Sixties Summer Soirée, The Hollow Crown, and Members’ Preview—that set the stage for future events



In the GardensThe MSV embarked on the first major effort to restore the Glen Burnie Gardens since the site opened in 1997, and changes in the use of garden spaces provided more efficient use of this community treasure. Planning for additional garden spaces also was completed, with the new Spring Garden slated to open in spring of 2015. Garden-based programming and outreach efforts ramped up in significant fashion and resulted in the most ambitious year to date in terms of visitor engagement in the gardens.

Summary

u Restored the Knot Garden and Parterre Garden

u Improved functionality of the Terrace and restored its Neptune fountain

u Researched and began restoration of the Greenhouse

u Presented wide variety of garden-focused programming

u Began renovation to transform the Carriage House into a versatile education space


Educational ProgramsThe MSV refined educational programs to build larger audiences and serve them more effectively. Group tours and special programs for both youth and adults—including a seminar, workshops, lectures, youth camps, and more—served nearly 5,500 people. In the galleries, 279 tours helped visitors fully engage with the exhibits. These accomplishments owed much to the volunteers who provided more than 6,000 hours of service to help our visitors learn something new at the MSV.

Summary

u Presented a furniture seminar in conjunction with the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts

u Presented workshops on painting, basket-making, fraktur, and needlework

u Presented the twice-yearly Valley Crafters series

u Presented a variety of youth programs, such as Teen Art Camp and Camp MSV

Collections Thirty-five objects entered the MSV Collection, which now numbers more than 10,000 objects, to strengthen our ability to tell the story of the Shenandoah Valley. Additions included such notable objects as a desk by John Shearer, a pair of pottery whippet figures made by Samuel Bell, a food safe made by the firm Kahle-Henson, and the only known candlestick made by Valley potter Anthony W. Bacher. Conservation of several objects began or continued, and greater access to the Collection was provided through new online capabilities.

Summary

u Acquired 35 objects, including pottery, portraits, silver, furniture, quilts, wooden carvings, and more

u Received gifts from noted Valley collectors David Maxfield (40 Valley artifacts) and Dolores Bausum (12 Mennonite quilts)

u Stabilized the wallpaper in the Glen Burnie House Breakfast Room

u Began conservation of the Glen Burnie House Broadwood piano

u Installed new display of pottery in the Shenandoah Valley Gallery

Community ProgramsThe MSV has become to place to be. In this fiscal year, 9,667 people flocked to 39 MSV community programs. These included Gardens at Night, a variety of free, family-oriented events—such as MSV Day and the Tomato & Garlic TasteFest—and activities such as movie nights, holiday teas, concerts, and more. These events, which are specifically designed to serve the local community, accounted for more than 25% of the MSV’s total visitation in this fiscal year.

Summary

u Doubled community programs to offer 39 programs

u Presented five Gardens at Night events

u Presented six free events for families—including MSV Day, National Public Gardens Day, The Tomato & Garlic TasteFest, Glen Burnie Day, Smithsonian Museum Day Live!, and First Night Winchester—that attracted a total of nearly 4,000 people

u Presented 28 events for adults (movie nights, holiday teas, concerts, etc.) that attracted 3,131 people


Giving Back to Our CommunityIn its mission to preserve and enrich the cultural life and heritage of the Valley, the MSV’s most important goal is to “give back” to its community. The MSV did this broadly by preserving, caring for, and exhibiting objects that tell the Valley story and providing an array of educating, engaging, and fun experiences for people of all ages. The MSV also gave back in specific ways, such as providing use of Museum spaces free of charge to community non-profit groups, offering free-admission opportunities so all residents may enjoy this wonderful resource, and partnering with community groups.

Summary

u Formalized partnership with Frederick County Parks and Recreation to develop walking trails and recreational opportunities at Rose Hill Farm

u Served Orchard Ridge retirement community, Handley and Bowman Regional Libraries, Godfrey Miller Home, and NW Works with special off-site programming

u Provided nearly 30 non-profit groups free or reduced-cost use of MSV space

u Art in the Halls presented the works of 10 contemporary Valley artists

u Provided Preservation of Historic Winchester, Inc. (PHW) rent-free usage of the Hexagon House as its headquarters

u Provided complimentary collections-storage space to Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc.



Receiving Community SupportFinancial support of the community allows the MSV to provide all programs detailed on the pages of this report. This fiscal year the MSV increased its ability to identify potential financial donors, communicate more effectively with them, and efficiently track contributions. Sponsors provided major financial support of MSV programs as well as crucial in-kind media support.

A complete listing of financial gifts and grants during Fiscal Year 2013–14 is included on pages 15–16.


Management’s Report Fiscal Year 2013–14 witnessed completion of major capital projects, most notably preservation and improvements in the Glen Burnie House. The investment of $1.7 million allowed for improvements to the house and Glen Burnie’s new interpretive approach; another $60,000 was spent on related gardens and grounds improvements. These investments have transformed the house into a preserved, climate-controlled, accessible space that now serves a variety of Museum needs and provides a new earned-revenue source through rentals.

Other capital improvements included renovations to the tenant house at Rose Hill Farm, which now serves as staff lodging, providing needed security and oversight as we begin working with Frederick County Parks and Recreation to develop walking trails and recreational opportunities on this site. Among other construction projects in progress were security upgrades in Glen Burnie House, restoration and expansion of the gardens, renovations to the Carriage House, provision of a research library for use by staff and visiting scholars, and a garden center to serve education purposes, for a total of $1.3 million in capitalized construction in progress.

The fiscal year’s rate of return on Collections and General Operating Endowments averaged 16.7%. Spending from these sources supported Collection acquisitions ($662,325) and exhibitions ($157, 197), with four exhibitions presented this fiscal year and two more in development. Even with a 70% increase in spending for exhibitions over the previous fiscal year, our investment is modest in proportion to the quantity and quality of exhibitions presented and their success in increasing visitation, keeping Members and the community engaged, and attracting underwriting from Donors, as noted on page 12.

Notable trends in spending this year included a predicted increase in expenses due to necessary hiring of consultants for professional services and a significant decrease in the costs of facilities and landscape maintenance due to the transfer of most maintenance responsibilities to staff. In addition, the MSV outsourced its food service to Bonnie Blue Southern Market and Bakery.

An effort to reverse a trend of flat earned income from Membership saw some positive results this year, including a 15% increase in the number of Museum Members. The planned addition of new Membership categories is designed to increase future Membership revenue. Revenues from admissions rebounded to $100,000 this fiscal year after a two-year downtrend due to renovations and closings in the galleries and Glen Burnie House. Museum Store revenues increased by $10,000, reversing a trend of flat growth from that source, and revenues from ticketed events also increased, with programs like Gardens at Night growing in popularity. We noted a trend towards increased gifts in kind, corporate sponsorship of exhibitions and events, and restricted giving for specific projects. Annual giving, however, remained flat this fiscal year; this has influenced current efforts, now underway, to more fully segment and expand our appeals, and presents growth opportunities for the coming year.
