Enhancing
the Power of Art and Artists with a Renewed Focus on the Community in Which We
Live
BOSTON
(September 12, 2019)—The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), announced today a
slate of initiatives for its 150th anniversary in 2020, driven by a deepened
commitment to inclusion, community and generosity. The yearlong celebration
aims to bring more people closer to art and the MFA—signaling aspirations for
the Museum’s future.
“The
MFA’s 150th anniversary is a moment to honor our past and, more critically,
anticipate our future. The Museum was founded with a spirit of generosity and
belief in the power of art and artists—values that remain among the pillars of
today’s MFA,” said Matthew Teitelbaum, Ann and Graham Gund Director. “As we
look ahead, we must also address the changing role of museums in society,
amplifying our efforts toward becoming a truly inclusive institution and
committing to a new sense of urgency in engaging with the issues of our time.”
A group
of Boston’s civic leaders created the Museum in 1870 as a public place for
discovery, the enjoyment of art and celebration of artists. Since then, the MFA
has grown to house a global collection, which will be highlighted during the
150th anniversary year in exhibitions ranging from Ancient Nubia Now,
shining a light on the powerful, yet historically misinterpreted kingdoms on
the Nile, to the Weng Family Collection of Chinese Painting: Family and
Friends, featuring works by some of the greatest masters from the Ming
(1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) dynasties, to Lucian Freud: The Self-Portraits,
organized in partnership with the Royal Academy of Arts in London. In its 150th
year, the Museum will also forge deeper connections with the local community,
launching a free first-year membership program—an invitation to everyone to
make the MFA their own. Throughout 2020, the Museum will engage community
members and local artists as co-creators on various opportunities for convening
and celebration, from a teen-curated exhibition of 20th-century art by artists
of color from the Americas to a community mural project—initiatives that lay
foundations for future ambitions.
The 150th
Anniversary Celebration is sponsored by Bank of America.
Free
Memberships for Community Members and Artists
The MFA
will introduce a variety of membership initiatives during its anniversary year,
in an effort to invite and engage a wide range of audiences to build deeper
relationships with the Museum:
·
Signup opportunities for free first-year memberships will be
offered to visitors at 11 annual community celebrations and three seasonal MFA
Late Nites taking place in 2020. These memberships will allow access to the
Museum for a full year.
·
The MFA will inaugurate an ongoing program of lifetime admission
benefits for all living artists represented in its collection, as well as gift
one-year memberships to artists who partner with the Museum on exhibitions,
programs and events during the anniversary year.
·
Additional benefits will be offered throughout the year to
existing members in appreciation of their ongoing support—such as allowing them
to bring more friends and family to the MFA—further empowering these longtime
supporters as ambassadors for the Museum in their own communities.
For
nearly two decades, the MFA’s annual community celebrations—expanded in the
fall of 2019 to include Latinx Heritage Night and Indigenous Peoples’ Day—have
featured activities and performances that represent the art, history and global
influences throughout Greater Boston. All of the community celebrations, as
well as the MFA Late Nites—seasonal after-hours celebrations introduced in the
fall of 2017—are co-created with valued community partners, artists and
performers, highlighting external perspectives and local expertise. The free
first-year membership initiative will invite all attendees of these popular
events to return to the MFA often and with others, with the goal of fostering a
sense of belonging at the Museum year-round. The full schedule of signup
opportunities in 2020 includes:
