MAINTAIN AND RAISES FUNDS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART, INC.

THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART FOUNDATION (FOUNDATION) IS A SUPPORT 501C3 ORGANIZATION FOR THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART (TMA), A CULTURAL INSTITUTE THAT ADDS MEASURABLE VALUE TO PEOPLE'S LIVES. THE TMA IS A PLACE TO CELEBRATE ICONIC WORKS OF ART IN EXHIBITIONS FEATURING BREAKTHROUGHS IN ARTISTIC DIRECTIONS AND WE ARE A VENUE FOR COMMUNITY FORUMS AND DIALOGUES WITH INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ART AND SCHOLARS. THE TMA IS ALSO A REPOSITORY OF ART FOR CURRENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS, AS WE PROVIDE STUDIO ART PROGRAMS, SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS FOR STUDENTS AND TOURS FOR ADULTS, AND OFFER OVER SIXTEEN DIFFERENT ART EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND WORKSHOPS FOCUSED ON ANCIENT, MODERN, AND CONTEMPORARY ART. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)THE FOUNDATION SUPPORTS THE TMA IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THE FOUNDATION BOARD OVERSEES AND MANAGES THE SECURITY OF THE MUSEUM'S ENDOWMENT PORTFOLIO AND THROUGH COMMITTEE ACTION MANAGES THE INVESTMENT MANAGERS (INVESTMENT COMMITTEE), BEQUEST AND TRUST SOLICITATION AND PROGRAM OVERSIGHT (NEW CENTURY LEGACY SOCIETY COMMITTEE) AND LARGE GIFTS AND GRANTS FOR THE ENDOWMENT AND FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH (CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE).THE NEW CENTURY LEGACY SOCIETY COMMITTEE (NCLS) LAUNCHED AND SUPPORTED A LEGACY PROGRAM FOR THE MUSEUM THAT INCLUDES CONVENING THOSE WHO HAVE PLEDGED LEGACY GIFTS AND THOSE THAT INTEND TO LEAVE A BEQUEST TO THE TMA THROUGH THE FOUNDATION. IN 2020, NEW LEGACY BROCHURES WERE DEVELOPED AND PLANNING FOR PROGRAMMING IN 2021 WERE STRATEGIZED SO THAT WHEN THE PANDEMIC SUBSIDED AND CONVENING WAS ACCEPTABLE, THE FOUNDATION WOULD HOST A SERIES OF PROGRAMS AND EVENTS IN 2022.THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE LAUNCHED A FUNDRAISING PROGRAM IN 2019 THAT CONTINUED THROUGH 2021 TO FUND THE REALLOCATION OF BACK-OF-THE-HOUSE GROSS SQUARE FEET TO PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PROGRAM SPACE WITH THE INTENTION OF REALIGNING APPROXIMATELY 14,000 NET SQUARE FEET OF EXISTING SPACE FOR EXHIBITIONS AND 7,000 NET SQUARE FEET OF EXISTING SPACE FOR EDUCATION PROGRAM ACTIVITIES. AS THE MUSEUM PLANS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE, THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUED AND WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THE NEEDED FUNDS TO EXPAND THE MUSEUM'S FOOTPRINT TO BETTER ACCOMMODATE THE INTERESTS OF OUR TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY IN EXPERIENCING MORE VISUAL ART PROGRAM SERVICES. WORKING IN TANDEM WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE TMA BOARD OF TRUSTEES, THE REALLOCATION OF SPACE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM EXCEEDED ALL EXPECTATIONS AND RENOVATION COMMENCED IN JUNE OF 2021. IN 2021, THE MUSEUM MOVED FORWARD WITH ITS ARCHITECTS WEISS MANFREDI TO EXECUTE AND COMPLETE DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR A 51,000 SQUARE FOOT EXPANSION WHILE THE RENOVATION FOR REALIGNMENT OF BACK-OF-THE-HOUSE SPACE TO PUBLIC PROGRAMMABLE SPACE WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THOSE DOCUMENTS WERE COMPLETED IN JANUARY OF 2022.THE INVESTMENT COMMITTEE MANAGES THE INVESTMENTS AND DISTRIBUTION RECOMMENDATIONS OF TWO FUNDS: "FUND A," WHOSE PRINCIPAL OTHER THAN THREE SMALL DONOR RESTRICTED FUNDS, IS RESTRICTED BY INTERNAL POLICY TO PROTECT THE PRINCIPAL AND PROVIDES FOR AN ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION NOT TO EXCEED 5% OF A FIVE-YEAR ROLLING BALANCE AVERAGE TO TMA, INC.

FROM A HISTORIC 80% DROP IN ATTENDANCE, GENERAL ADMISSION, STORE SALES, AND COMMISSIONS FROM FOOD AND BEVERAGE SALES, THE MUSEUM REGAINED SOME GROUND BY THE END OF THE YEAR WITH AN INCREASE OF 50% OF THOSE LOSSES, CLOSING AT 30% BELOW HISTORIC AVERAGES.

AND, WE FEATURED NINE IMPORTANT TRAVELING AND IN-HOUSE CURATED EXHIBITIONS FOR THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY AND BEYOND, EACH OUTLINED BRIEFLY BELOW.AIR FER MER: DOMINIQUE LABAUVIE ON VIEW THROUGH 2021ARTIST DOMINIQUE LABAUVIE (FRENCH, B. 1948) UNITES LANGUAGE, BOTH HIS NATIVE FRENCH AND ENGLISH, WITH IMAGE IN HIS ARCHITECTONIC STEEL SCULPTURES.AIR FER MER, THE TITLE OF THE OUTDOOR INSTALLATION ON THE SULLIVAN TERRACE, AS WELL AS THE TITLE OF ONE THE SCULPTURES ON VIEW, REFLECTS THE ARTIST'S PLAY ON LANGUAGE- "AIR FER MER" SPOKEN ALOUD SOUNDS LIKE "PHMRE," THE FRENCH WORD FOR "EPHEMERAL." EPHEMERALITY EMBODIES THE ESSENCE OF LABAUVIE'S ART. ALTHOUGH HIS MEDIUM OF INDUSTRIAL STEEL SUGGESTS A SENSE OF PERMANENCE, LABAUVIE AIMS TO CAPTURE FLEETING MOMENTS IN HIS SCULPTURE-FROM THE MOVEMENT OF LIGHT AND SHADOWS, TO THE PASSAGE OF TIME AND LIFE UNFOLDING AROUND US. "AIR FER MER" ALSO TRANSLATES TO IRON, AIR, SEA-A FITTING DESCRIPTION OF THE OBJECTS' RELATIONSHIP TO THE NATURAL WORLD. IN THIS UNIQUE SETTING, FOUR OF LABAUVIE'S SCULPTURES EXIST IN HARMONY WITH THE HILLSBOROUGH RIVER AND TAMPA SKYLINE.ELENA DEL RIVERO: HOME ADDRESSON VIEW THROUGH MARCH 31, 2021ELENA DEL RIVERO: HOME ADDRESS IS A MULTI-VENUE PROJECT COMMEMORATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT AND WOMEN'S RIGHT TO VOTE. IN HONOR OF THIS MILESTONE, ARTIST ELENA DEL RIVERO (SPANISH,B. 1949) CREATED 19 FLAGS TO BE HOISTED AT 19 ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN 2020 AND 2021.THE FLAGS, REMINISCENT OF EVERYDAY STAINED CLOTH TOWELS, PROMPT REFERENCES TO THE KITCHEN AS BOTH A DOMESTIC AND POLITICAL SPACE FOR FEMALE EMPOWERMENT. ON VIEW ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, THE PROJECT HOME ADDRESS AIMS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE LOCAL HISTORIES THAT SHAPED THE BROADER NATIONAL FIGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS.THE ARTIST, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE HOST INSTITUTION, DEDICATES THE FLAG TO AN IMPORTANT WOMAN OF COLOR IN EACH COMMUNITY WHERE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO VOTING MAY NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE AFTER PASSAGE OF THE 19TH AMENDMENT.
