WE PROVIDE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES THROUGH THE PRESERVATION OF AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ESHERICK CAMPUS, ART COLLECTION, AND ARCHIVE.IN 2022, WEM INTRODUCED A NEW TOPIC TOUR CALLED THE CAMPUS ARCHITECTURE TOUR, DEVELOPED BY OUR DIRECTOR OF INTERPRETATION. THE TOUR WAS OFFERED PERIODICALLY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO SOLD-OUT AUDIENCES AND EXPLORED THE ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS, COLLABORATIONS, AND PHYSICAL STRUCTURES THAT LEND THEMSELVES TO THE WHARTON ESHERICK MUSEUM'S DESIGNATION AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK FOR ARCHITECTURE. WEM ALSO INTRODUCED THE FIRST SITE INTERVENTION IN OUR 50-YEAR HISTORY, WHICH ENGAGED FOUR CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WHO MADE RESPONSIVE WORK WHICH WAS INSTALLED INSIDE THE STUDIO, ACTIVATING THE SPACE FOR VISITORS. 0 0 680858 97277 2022 MARKED THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WHARTON ESHERICK MUSEUM AND OUR PROGRAMMING AND EXHIBITIONS CENTERED ON THIS MILESTONE. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, A SERIES OF EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS EXPLORED THE IDEA OF "HOME" IN ORDER TO CELEBRATE WEM'S 50-YEAR HISTORY AND TO THINK CREATIVELY ABOUT THE NEXT FIFTY YEARS - AND BEYOND. THE HOME AS SERIES DIVIDED OUR ANNIVERSARY YEAR INTO THREE THEMES: HOME AS SITE, HOME AS SELF, AND HOME AS STAGE. EACH CHAPTER OF THE SERIES FEATURED A NEW INSTALLATION IN THE VISITOR'S CENTER HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANT ROLE THESE CONCEPTS PLAYED IN ESHERICK'S LIFE, PRACTICE, AND WORK, AS WELL AS PROGRAMS EXPLORING THE WEM COLLECTION AND ESHERICK'S IMPACT ON CONTEMPORARY CREATIVES. HOME AS SITE SHOWCASED THE ARCHITECTURE, PROCESS, AND PEOPLE INVOLVED IN CREATING WEM'S CAMPUS AS WE KNOW IT TODAY AND THE FORM IT MAY TAKE IN THE FUTURE. PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE SPRING EXAMINED THE PHYSICAL NATURE OF ESHERICK'S HOME AND STUDIO. HOME AS SELF REFLECTED THE STUDIO AS ESHERICK'S MOST SIGNIFICANT SELF-PORTRAIT, AND IN TURN, OUR 28TH ANNUAL JURIED WOODWORKING EXHIBITION OPENED IN JUNE AND SHOWCASED THE ARTISTS' OWN INTERPRETATIONS OF WHAT A SELF-PORTRAIT IN WOOD CAN LOOK LIKE. FINALLY, HOME AS STAGE OPENED IN THE FALL AND EXPLORED THE IDEA OF THE STUDIO AS A STAGE FOR ESHERICK'S LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS. THE WORK OF SEVERAL CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WAS INSTALLED INSIDE THE STUDIO, ACTIVATING THE SPACE. OUR IN-PERSON TOURS WELCOMED OVER 3,300 VISITORS TO THE SITE AND OUR VIRTUAL PROGRAMS ANOTHER 1,200 ATTENDEES. THESE VIRTUAL PROGRAMS REMAIN A ROBUST SOURCE OF NEW AUDIENCE DUE TO THE PARTNERS WE WORKED WITH, AND BECAUSE ATTENDEES COULD JOIN OUR PROGRAM FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. IN 2022, WE ALSO TACKLED A NUMBER OF PRESERVATION PROJECTS, INCLUDING INSTALLING A WIRELESS INTRUSION AND SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEM IN THE 1956 WORKSHOP BUILDING, WHICH HAD PREVIOUSLY NOT HAD ANY FIRE AND SECURITY MONITORING. THE 1956 WORKSHOP, DESIGNED BY LOUIS KAHN, SERVED AS THE PRIVATE RESIDENCE OF THE MUSEUM CO-FOUNDERS UNTIL THEIR PASSING IN 2020. THE BUILDING WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED AND BUILT AS A WORKSHOP FOR WHARTON ESHERICK IN 1956 WHICH HE USED FOR 14 YEARS UNTIL HIS PASSING IN 1970. THE MUSEUM CO-FOUNDERS, WHARTON'S DAUGHTER AND SON-IN-LAW, RENOVATED THE STRUCTURE INTO A RESIDENCE AND LIVED IN THE SPACE FOR 50 YEARS. NOW SERVING AS OFFICE SPACE UNTIL THE CAMPUS EXPANSION PROJECT AFFORDS AN ALTERNATIVE SPACE FOR ADMINISTRATION, THE FUTURE GOALS FOR THE BUILDING ARE TO OPEN IT TO THE PUBLIC ON A REGULAR BASIS AND INTERPRET IT AS ESHERICK'S WORKSPACE. IN ADDITION TO THE FIRE AND SECURITY MONITORING, WE GLAZED AND REPAINTED SEVERAL WINDOWS ON THE STUDIO BUILDING, REPLACED A SECTION OF THE SUNEKREST ROOF, REPOINTED THE CHIMNEY ON BOTH SUNEKREST AND THE 1956 WORKSHOP, AND REPAIRED AND REPAINTED FASCIA ON THE WORKSHOP. 680858 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 PA X THE ORGANIZATION 6106445822 PO BOX 595 PAOLI PA 193010595 NICOLE RIEGL PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GARY BAUM TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 RON MCCOLL SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY BERWIN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JASPER BRINTON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARC COOPER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 KATE QUINN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL SAVIDGE BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JULIE SIGLIN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 90017 0 10629 90017 0 10629 0 0 0 0 0 15322 197036 116030 328388 ADMISSION 713990 68994 68994 68994 58688 58688 7200 0 7200 7200 7200 35859 34589 1270 1270 1270 7850 8509 -659 -659 29863 10522 19341 19341 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 472 472 472 483694 97277 0 58029 X 95000 87384 3213 4403 349976 321918 11838 16220 20469 18827 693 949 34310 31559 1161 1590 15899 6489 4194 5216 115964 33542 36734 45688 15573 13841 1732 14410 13851 336 223 3420 3146 116 158 45862 44197 920 745 2120 602 1518 18068 18068 49937 45934 1689 2314 13412 12336 454 622 PRINTING 17997 9654 149 8194 EXHIBITION EXPENSE 13936 13936 REAL ESTATE TAX 13288 10800 2488 HONORARIA 6440 6440 8537 6402 1635 500 854618 680858 86938 86822 284775 247931 183802 184873 0 130657 11686 10174 7931 8693 2050742 565141 1470356 1485601 966091 757691 13468879 11107801 16393520 13933421 26128 42288 346759 330036 83480 35300 456367 407624 X 2353834 2213899 13583319 11311898 15937153 13525797 16393520 13933421 X -370924 -232499 -1807933 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 405539 253635 494867 486289 328388 1968718 405539 253635 494867 486289 328388 1968718 1968718 47935 70980 75705 61029 65888 321537 45105 1989 3077 138 472 50781 2341036 88335 0.84100 0.74000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X X 0 13339270 -1862120 498958 10978192 12032863 1637345 330938 13339270 1037218 10000 1045015 49370 2042863 919488 111731 1031219 1024549 -55855 49206 919488 1.00000 1 0 870000 870000 1180742 565141 615601 1485601 PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT COST 129609 BENEFICIAL INTEREST 10978192 11107801 274491 -232499 23296 -209203 483694 0 483694 877914 23296 23296 854618 0 854618 PART III, LINE 1A: THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS ARE ITEMS MADE UP OF ART AND CRAFT OBJECTS HELD FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND PUBLIC VIEWING.
