THANK YOU!I am proud to present the accomplishments and activities of The John & Mable Ringling Museum of Art to our valued supporters. Thank you for your continued commitment to one of the leading cultural organizations in our state. Our 9,500 member households and foundation partners contribute nearly all of the philanthropic dollars that enable us to bring award winning performances, engaging and enlightening exhibitions, and a continuum of educational programs to our community. You do this through your membership dues, but also through program sponsorships, gifts to the collections and capital projects, and establishing named endowments that provide program support in perpetuity. Thank you!

This Annual Review records the activities of The Ringling from July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017. During this time period The Ringling added over 500 new objects to the collection, completed the Nancy L. Ellis Tea House adjacent to the Center for Asian Art, constructed the new Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion, and welcomed over 10,000 children from local schools to tour our grounds and exhibitions. Over 420,000 visitors passed through our John M. McKay Visitors Pavilion to explore the myriad of experiences of art, history, and nature that The Ringling provides. And our exhibitions and collections presented artwork from over 4,000 years of human history.

Thank you for making The Ringling your Museum. I hope you will enjoy reading the accomplishments you made possible and I look forward to seeing you at The Ringling this season.

Phantom Bodies: The Human Aura in ArtJUN 17 – SEP 11, 2016The exhibition considered the relationship between mind, body, and spirit through a selection of paintings, photography, videos, sculpture and installations that are designed to inspire compassion and commemoration. The four thematically distinct sections —”Objects and Absences,” “Violence, Empathy, and Erasure,” “Sublimation,” and “The Mind-Body Problem”— include provocative artworks that address themes of trauma, loss, and transformation, while considering the possibility of an animating spirit that can exist independently of the body. The exhibition included work by 22 compelling artists of our time including Anish Kapoor, Shirin Neshat, Doris Salcedo, and Bill Viola. Organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville, Tennessee, and curated by Mark Scala, chief curator of the Frist.

Graphicstudio: Collaborating Across BordersJUL 8 – OCT 9, 2016Founded in 1968 at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Graphicstudio is an acclaimed workshop dedicated to realizing collaborative projects with contemporary artists. Inspired by the tradition of the printmaker’s atelier, Graphicstudio works in partnership with artists to create art work in editions. What has made Graphicstudio exceptional in its nearly 50 years of operation is the fact that it has been an innovator in both the technical practices of art, and the concept of collaboration. The workshop has pushed the boundaries of the traditional forms of graphic arts, developed new processes, and extended the concept of the auditioned multiple into mixed-media and sculptural forms. Since the 1990s, Graphicstudio has expanded its scope of collaboration in an on-going series of invitations to contemporary artists from across Latin America to work at the studio. These projects have resulted in provocative new artworks while creating meaningful connections between artists and new audiences across cultures.

Asia Under the Big TopOCT 14, 2016 – FEB 13, 2017Fantasies of the exotic Far East have shaped the performing and visual arts of America from the beginning of the country. Traveling circuses, exotic travelers in their own right, embraced the undeniable draw of the people and cultures of Asia, including exotic “Oriental” attractions and spectacles by the mid-nineteenth century.

Hindu snake charmers, Japanese strongmen, and Chinese strongmen were among the types of performers imported to entertain American audiences with both their skill and their foreignness. In addition to the performers, many circuses created productions around tales of the “Far East” like the Arabian Nights and Aladdin. The shows capitalized on every opportunity to promote the exotic quality of Asia. The exhibition explored how stereotypes and fantasies of Asia played to American audiences under the big top through lithographs printed to advertise American circuses from the last quarter of the 19th century through the first half of the 20th century.

Pathless Woods: An Installation by Anne PattersonNOV 4, 2016 – APR 26, 2017In November 2016, the new Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art opened with the site-specific installation by American artist Anne Patterson. Pathless Woods is an interactive, multi-media installation in which the visitor is invited to walk through a forest of ribbons—sometimes the path is very clear and at other times it is not. The title is taken from a line of Byron’s poetry, “There is a pleasure in the pathless woods” and references that the visitor can find his or her own path through the installation with each choice determining outcome. Pathless Woods continued Patterson’s exploration into creating synesthetic environments begun with the 2013 project Graced With Light installed to great acclaim at Grace Cathedral, San Francisco.

A Feast for the Senses: Art and Experience in Medieval EuropeFEB 4 – APR 30, 2017Organized by The Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, in partnership with The Ringling, this major exhibition featured more than 80 objects, many on loan from prestigious institutions across the US and Europe including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Louvre.

The exhibition focused on the late medieval and early Renaissance period in Europe (roughly 1300–1500), a time in which societal changes prompted a new interest in human experience, the enjoyment of nature and the pursuit of pleasure. As a result, the art of this period functioned in a rich sensory world that was integral to its appreciation. These works were not only seen, but also touched, smelled and heard. The exhibition brought together sacred and secular art—including paintings, tapestries, metalwork, and manuscripts—to reveal the role of the senses in courtly ritual and religious practice.

Territories: Photography, Space, and PowerFEB 10 – MAY 14, 2017Territories: Photography, Space, and Power explored the myriad ways in which spaces are organized by cultural forces and political power. Visitors are able to study the ways in which the camera can reveal how humans organize and encode the space they inhabit but also how the camera itself organizes the space into its own logic. Several large format works from The Ringling’s collection, rarely on display, were on view, such as works by Thomas Struth and Lewis Baltz. Territories featured a wide assortment of approaches to and uses of photography in apprehending the spaces we inhabit, from military and aerial photography to contemporary fine art practice.

EXHIBITIONS

The Ringling International Arts Festival presented 21 performances of eight stage productions. We intensified our engagement with “New Circus” by presenting The Pianist by Circo Aereo of Finland and the Australian troupe, Gravity and Other Myths. Both were received with great enthusiasm, and many performances were sold out. The Israeli cellist, Matt Haimovitz provided a Baroque/New Music conversation with performances in the Ca’ d’Zan, Museum of Art, and Historic Asolo Theater; and the Grammy-award-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird attracted large audiences for their compelling program entitled Hand Eye. Genre-bending performances drew cheers from audiences that included many “younger people;” both 17 Border Crossings by conceptual artist, Thaddeus Phillips, and the LMnO3 creation, B.A.N.G.S.: made in america added bursts of creative energies in unconventional ways. Finally, RIAF’s ENCORE engagement of doug elkins choreography, etc. did not fail to please as Ringling audiences embraced the performances of this winning ensemble.

At the end of the calendar year, the Historic Asolo Theater was closed in order to facilitate five months of renovation, conservation, and maintenance done in conjunction with the construction of the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion. The closure both necessitated and accommodated an innovative three-part exploration of performance in alternative spaces. Presented under the rubric New Stages: New Sincerity, the series marked the curatorial debut of Sonja Shea, who developed the project as a Fellow at the Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance at Wesleyan University. The outdoor performance spectacle of SEESAW by Wise Fool New Mexico opened the series. It was followed with the idiosyncratic and intimate EXPERIMENT #42.000 (RINGLING) as conceived by the Institute for Psychogeographic Adventure. The series concluded with the powerful and wildly popular presentation of CAPTIVE by the British acrobatic ensemble, Motionhouse.

A final tabulation: more than 50 guest artists from seven nations were presented in eleven genre-defying productions. Additionally, a large number of performances and programs were staged in conjunction with Curators of the Circus Museum and Education, Volunteer Services, and Artist Series Concerts of Sarasota. In total, 126 performances of 32 productions were staged for 30,000+ ticket holders.

The Ringling’s docent program remains one of the most active in the country, serving 72,484 visitors this past year. Since many of the Ringling’s visitors rely on docent tours to access the estate, we continually strive to improve the program to offer the best possible visitor experience. To this end, twenty-five new docents were recruited to begin a year-long Museum of Art training. The curriculum and format for this training was completely redesigned to better reflect our goal of increased visitor engagement. Laura Steefel-Moore, Museum Training Specialist, and Maureen Zaremba, Curator of Education, co-presented a workshop on The Ringling’s innovative programs at the Florida Association of Museum conference in Pensacola in September 2016 and Laura Steefel-Moore co-presented in a docent training workshop at the American Alliance of Museums annual conference in St. Louis in May of 2017.

Accessibility for all visitors was a focus for Education in 2016–17. Education commissioned a museum-wide accessibility survey to determine priorities for staff training as well as facility upgrades that would create greater access for visitors. Using the results of the survey, The Ringling has begun identifying priorities. To this end, Education formed an Accessibility Task Force with staff and volunteers to assist with implementation of these recommendations. Staff and volunteer training sessions were initiated to provide the Ringling community with the opportunities to better understand the needs of our visitors with disabilities.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Docent-led Tour of Ca' d'Zan

Education facilitated the second year of the FSU Museum Education and Visitor Centered FSU graduate program. While in residence and with the support of Education, their accomplishments included creating a video of Ca’ d’Zan tours to be used for docent and security training and for visitors with accessibility challenges; designing a sensory map and social narratives for visitors on the autism spectrum; conducting and preparing a visitor experience survey in the Center for Asian Art. Maureen Zaremba and Matthew McLendon co-authored an essay, Beyond the Gate: Collaborating with Living Artists to Bring Communities into the Museum and the Museum into Communities for the publication Visitor-Centered Exhibitions and Edu-Curation in Art Museums, Rowman & Littlefield, 2017.

Scholastic Programs continued to grow. In partnership with The Circus Arts Conservatory, Education created a second grade program that combined a classroom visit by CAC education staff with a field trip to The Ringling. Though the summer is normally a quiet time for scholastic programs, Education staff provided guided visits to The Ringling for pre-K students enrolled in school board sponsored Summer Learning Academies. The purpose of SLA is to prevent summer learning loss and help at-risk students transition to a formal school environment.

Youth and Family programs experienced unprecedented growth this past year, doubling participation from last year. Under the direction of Angelica Bradley, the popular early literacy project, ROAR (Ringling Order of Art Readers) moved from a monthly to a weekly program. Open art making during Art After 5 and on Saturdays drew an intergenerational audience and a new program Museum Mondays, delighted families visiting on Legacy Day. Family visits to The Ringling have been enhanced with the publication of new family guides for the Museum of Art, the Circus Museum, and the Center for Asian Art.

Building on a strong foundation, Education programs for all audiences continued to grow and expand in 2016–17.

Community Engagement remained a top priority for The Ringling. Under the guidance of the Ringling Foundation Board’s Community Engagement Task Force, museum staff partnered with several non-profits and received generous support from donors to expand our programming and impact. Access was the focus.

With the support and guidance of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, The Ringling initiated a pilot program, Artful Families. Utilizing non-profit partnerships, like Forty Carrots Partners in Play, as well as Title 1 schools, museum staff created opportunities for children and their adult care givers to engage with the museum. Educators met families off-site and then held hands-on art making programs for families at the museum. Following the museum program, families were provided complimentary museum memberships. More than 60 families were provided complimentary memberships throughout the pilot program. This pilot program and the lessons learned created the platform for the creation of a larger program, The Ringling WEB: Where Everyone Belongs.

Generous funding by the Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation and continued support by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County enabled the museum to hire a full-time Community Engagement Officer, Ana Juarez. She will direct The Ringling WEB, a new model for engaging at-risk families with the museum. We anticipate serving more than 200 at-risk families annually through this exciting new program. In addition to the launch of The Ringling WEB and continued success with programs like Partners in Play, Education has also become a partner in Easter Seals Kids Night Out program which takes place once a month. This event provides a respite for care-givers as well as a fun, creative experience for Easter Seals clients who represent a broad spectrum of both physical and emotional disabilities. Southeastern Guide Dogs and Lighthouse for the Blind are other outreach partners. A visit to The Ringling represents an opportunity for individuals who have lost their sight or have low-vision to enjoy the visual arts. We have also become a welcoming destination for Southeastern students who are learning to work with their guide dogs.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The Ringling opened its first permanent gallery devoted to modern and contemporary art in November 2016. The Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Gallery for Contemporary Art in the west wing of the Museum of Art is intended to provide The Ringling with an adaptable and experimental environment, particularly suited to innovative artistic expression. With a focus on living artists in single and small group exhibitions, the Monda Gallery opened to the public with the immersive, multisensory installation by

American artist Anne Patterson, Pathless Woods.

November 2016 marked the final phase of the Center for Asian Art with the completion of the Nancy L. Ellis Tea House made possible by a donation from George Ellis in honor of his late wife. The Tea House was designed to marry the tradition of the historical tea house with local heritage and this coupling is evident in its construction. Inspired by Sarasota’s School of Modernism, the Tea House’s clean lines and contemporary materials provide a lasting reflection of Ringling’s commitment to the region’s cultural history.

Major construction on the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion occurred late 2016 through early 2017 culminating with the receipt of certificate of occupancy in June 2017. A showcase for The Ringling’s growing studio glass collection, the Kotler-Coville Glass Pavilion will also provide for a new entrance for the Historic Asolo Theater, an accessible dressing room, and is home to the Charlotte and Charles Perret Performance Studio. The public launch of the Glass Pavilion is scheduled for January 2018.
