THE MUNSON-WILLIAMS-PROCTOR ARTS INSTITUTE’S MISSION IS— to serve diverse audiences by advancing the appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of the arts— to promote interest and participation in the arts— to engender artistic self-expression and personal creativity— to assume a leadership and advocacy role for the arts

Message from the Acting PresidentIt has been my privilege to serve as the Acting President of theContents3Museum of Art6Performing Arts9School of ArtMunson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute during this, our 75thAnniversary year. While our celebration of this milestone eventwould no doubt please our Founding Families, it is by no meansthe culmination of their vision. The legacy that the Munson,Williams, and Proctor families intended was far broader than justa peerless collection of art. They knew that an appreciation offine art and music, and a sound art education were important to12Supporters16Annual Operating Fund18Annual Attendance19Sponsorscitizens of a modern, progressive society. Their vision of a thrivingcity and region depended upon an institution, such as ours,emerging as a social, cultural and educational center.We are proud that for 75 years we have developed, enhanced,and embraced that vision. We continue to do so today, despiteeconomic and demographic pressures. The national economicrecession has challenged many not-for-profit organizations, particularly those, like us, that rely heavily upon endowmentincome. A diminished market value of the underlying assets anda historically low return on the remaining investments confrontsour governing body with the need to budget carefully in order topreserve the endowment for future generations. This, in turn,requires careful management and more aggressive efforts to seekother streams of revenue to finance our annual operating costs.Despite this environment, the Institute remains committed toproviding the programming and access that our community hasenjoyed and embraced for these 75 years.Demographically, we are in a region that is less populated thanin prior decades and has experienced a dramatic change in thenature of that population. The departure of major employers andthe influx of new arrivals from around the world have combinedto substantially alter the audience we are tasked to serve. WeBoard of TrusteesWilliam L. Boyle, Jr., Ed.D.strive to imagine, develop, and present the programming, exhibitions, and educational opportunities that will be relevant to ourcommunity and remain true to the Proctor’s vision.We celebrate that vision, and share their belief that the InstituteJoseph S.

I ask that we dedicate ourselvesMichael D. Damskyto enhancing their legacy, to building upon this magnificentRev. Paul J. Drobinfoundation while facing the challenges of today and the next75 years.
