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. TO FURTHER THOSE EFFORTS, IN 2022 ALL MARKETING MATERIALS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MUSEUM PROGRAMS THAT REQUIRED RECOGNITION AND WELCOME REMARKS INCLUDED REFERENCES TO THE TMA LEGACY PROGRAM. THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE LAUNCHED A FUNDRAISING PROGRAM IN 2019 THAT CONTINUED THROUGH 2022 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. THE CAMPAIGN CONTINUED WELL INTO 2022 AND WILL 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 AND CONTINUED INTO 2022. IN 2022, THE MUSEUM MOVED FORWARD WITH ITS ARCHITECTS WIESS MANFREDI TO EXECUTE AND COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION 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. THESE DOCUMENTS ARE PROJECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN JUNE OF 2023. 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.

THE MUSEUM COLLECTS WORKS BY NATIONALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ARTISTS IN A RANGE OF TECHNIQUES AND MEDIUMS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE TIES TO FLORIDA AND THE TAMPA BAY REGION. THE MUSEUM RECOGNIZES THAT ITS ACQUISITIONS TODAY ARE SETTING STANDARDS FOR FUTURE COLLECTING ACTIVITY AND BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR EXHIBITIONS AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. ALTHOUGH THE FOUNDATION WAS A FLEDGLING OF ONLY 24 YEARS OLD IN 2022 (HAVING BEEN INCORPORATED IN 1998) IN COMPARISON TO THE 102 YEAR-OLD TMA, ITS DISTRIBUTIONS OF FUNDS IN 2022 HELPED SUPPORT ALL MUSEUM OPERATIONS AND PROGRAMMING AS SCHEDULED AND RECONSIDERED AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC. THE FOLLOWING IS A SNAPSHOT OF THE 2022 ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED BY THE FOUNDATION. IN 2022, THE TAMPA MUSEUM OF ART'S PERMANENT COLLECTION COMPRISED OVER 7,541 OBJECTS. THE MUSEUM PRIMARILY COLLECTS CLASSICAL ANTIQUITIES (625 OBJECTS), 19TH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY AND PRINTS EMPHASIZING WORKS THAT RELATE TO THE CLASSICAL COLLECTION (APPROXIMATELY 1,300 OBJECTS), MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART IN A VARIETY OF MEDIA (OVER 5,615 OBJECTS), WITH AN EMPHASIS ON PHOTOGRAPHY, ART CREATED AFTER 1970, AND NEW MEDIA.

THE MUSEUM RECOGNIZES THAT ITS ACQUISITIONS TODAY ARE SETTING STANDARDS FOR FUTURE COLLECTING ACTIVITY AND BUILDING A FOUNDATION FOR EXHIBITIONS AND EDUCATION PROGRAMMING. THE MUSEUM CELEBRATED ITS 102ND ANNIVERSARY IN 2022 AND OPENED ITS NEW VINIK EDUCATION CENTER, 8,000 SQUARE FEET OF ADDITIONAL EDUCATION PROGRAM SPACE REDESIGNED FROM BACK-OF-THE-HOUSE DRY STORAGE SPACE IN MAY. A NEW GRAND EDUCATION LOBBY ACCOMMODATING GENERAL VISITORS ENTERING THE MUSEUM ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE BUILDING WAS DESIGNED TO WELCOME TWO- TO THREE- SCHOOL BUSLOADS OF STUDENTS ON TOUR AT THE MUSEUM AND PROVIDE FOR OFFERING SEQUESTERED ENTRANCE TO CLASSES WHILE THE GALLERIES ARE CLOSED POST-5:00 PM. THE CENTER NOW BOASTS OF TWO NEW CLASSROOM FACILITIES DEDICATED TO TWO- AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL ART WITH A FOCUS ON ASSEMBLAGE, COLLAGE, LIFE-DRAWING, AND PAINTING AS WELL AS WHEEL-THROWING, COIL BUILDING AND SLAB ROLLING CLASSES. A DOCENT/VOLUNTEER LOUNGE WAS DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE RESOURCES AND CONFERENCE AREA FOR OUR TOUR GUIDES AND A NEW ROOM DESIGNED FOR A KILN WAS OPENED. THE ONLY EXISTING CLASSROOM PRIOR TO REDESIGN WAS RENOVATED TO OFFER TECH-CLASSES IN GRAPHIC DESIGN, DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, AND MULTI-MEDIA EDITING AND PRODUCING AND THE FLAT FLOOR LECTURE HALL WAS REDESIGNED TO ALSO OFFER REGIONAL ART EXHIBITIONS AND FAMILY EDUCATION PROGRAMS. THE RESULTS WERE IMMEDIATE. THE MUSEUM QUADRUPLED ITS CAMPS AND CLASSES AND STARTED OFFERING STUDENT CLASSES YEAR-ROUND. IN 2022, THE MUSEUM SAW CLOSE TO 10,000 EDUCATION PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS.

AS A RESULT OF COMPLETING THE RENOVATION OF THE WEST LOBBY TO THE MUSEUM, INCREASING OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE STORE, AND REDESIGNING THE FIRST-FLOOR ATRIUM INTO A SCULPTURE GALLERY WE COMPLETED THE TRANSFORMATION OF 6,000 SQUARE FEET OF REDESIGNED PUBLIC SPACES ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF THE MUSEUM. ADDITIONALLY, THE MUSEUM ONBOARDED A NEW 3,000 SQUARE FOOT GALLERY ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND RELOCATED THE STORAGE OF THE PERMANENT COLLECTION INTO A NEW 4,000 SQUARE FOOT STORAGE ROOM. THIS ALLOWED US TO EXTEND THREE EXHIBITIONS INTO 2022 AND FEATURE AN ADDITIONAL TEN IMPORTANT TRAVELING AND IN-HOUSE CURATED EXHIBITIONS FOR THE TAMPA BAY COMMUNITY AND BEYOND, EACH OUTLINED BRIEFLY BELOW.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$687.4K
