Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

MUSEUM OF ART - THE 2021-22 FISCAL YEAR WAS FULL OF EXCITING EXHIBITIONS, DYNAMIC ACQUISITIONS AND THOUSANDS OF NEW VISITORS TO OUR GALLERIES DESPITE HAVING THE DIFFICULTIES AND CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. MUSEUM EXHIBITIONS EXPLORED VARIOUS SUBJECTS, PERIODS AND MATERIALS. EMMA AMOS: COLOR ODYSSEY (JUNE-SEPT 2021), THE MUSEUM'S FEATURED SUMMER EXHIBITION, PRESENTED POWERFUL WORKS BY THIS IMPORTANT FEMALE ACTIVIST AND ARTIST. THE EXHIBITION EXPLORED AMOS'S TECHNIQUES, ACTIVISM AND CULTURAL AWARENESS IN A LANDMARK EXHIBITION ORGANIZED BY THE GEORGIA MUSEUM OF ART. THE EXHIBITION WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LARGE PRESENTATION ON THE SCULPTURAL WORK OF ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE (OCTOBER 2021-JANUARY 2022), WHICH WAS A RETROSPECTIVE OF HER MANY YEARS OF DESIGNING DRESSES FROM PAPER. THE SPRING SAW THE SECOND ITERATION OF A SERIES OF THREE EXHIBITIONS SPONSORED BY THE ARTBRIDGES FOUNDATION TO PROMOTE COLLABORATION BETWEEN MUNSON-WILLIAMS AND OTHER MUSEUMS. IN THIS SECOND INSTALLMENT, THE WORK OF ALAN ROHAN CRITE, AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PAINTER FROM BOSTON, WAS FEATURED (FEBRUARY-MAY 2022), MAINLY DRAWN FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, AS WELL AS OTHER PRIVATEAND INSTITUTIONAL LENDERS.ADDITIONAL EXHIBITIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART WERE FEATURED IN THE PRATTMWP GALLERY WITHIN THE MUSEUM, INLUDING A 20TH ANNIVERSARY RETROSPECTIVE CALLED 20: CELEBRATING TWENTY YEARS OF PRATTMWP AND INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITIONS OF THE WORK OF ARTISTS MELANIE CREE AND SHAUN LEONDARDO. THE MUSEUM ALSO BEGAN A COMPLETE REINSTALLATION OF ITS PERMANENT COLLECTION WITH A GALLERY DEVOTED TO THE LANDMARK QUARTET OF PAINTINGS BY THOMAS COLE, ENTITLED THE VOYAGE OF LIFE. OTHER 19TH CENTURY MASTERWORKS WERE PUT ON VIEW IN A PENDANT GALLERY TO AWAIT THEIR FINAL PLACEMENT IN THE COMING YEAR. ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE MUSEUM, THE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY COLLECTIONS WERE ALSO REINSTALLED DURING THE SPRING. THE FINAL PHASE, THE REINSTALLATION OF THE 19TH CENTURY GALLERY WILL LIKELY TAKE PLACE IN THE SPRING OF 2023. THE RICH ARRAY OF PROGRAMS OFFERED BY THE MUSEUM EDUCATION DEPARTMENT REACHED THOUSANDS AND DEEPENED OUR AUDIENCE'S UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION FOR ARTWORK. THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT HAS FOUR FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND 30 VOLUNTEER DOCENTS. THERE IS A PRATTMWP DOCENT CORPS, AS WELL, CALLED THE MUSEUM RENEGADES.

THE MUSEUM ALSO PURCHASED A GROUP OF IMPORTANT 19TH CENTURY AMERICAN SILVER OBJECTS. A NEW ACQUISITION FUND, CALLED "THE HELEN MUNSON WILLIAMS FUND" WAS ESTABLISHED WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF A MAJOR WORK OF CHINESE IMPERIAL PORCELAIN. THE WORK DID NOT FIT THE COLLECTING PROFILE OF THE MUSEUM AND HAD BEEN DESIGNATED FOR DEACCESSION FOR MANY YEARS.
