MISSION AND PROGRAMS

Mission

The primary mission of the Denver Art Museum is to build and enhance the public's awareness of and appreciation for the visual and related arts through the acquisition, preservation, and presentation of art works in both permanent collections and temporary exhibitions, and by supporting these works with exemplary educational and scholarly programs.

Programs

Exhibitions and Collections & Collections Management - Two major exhibitions were on view during the year: Bonnard and Sargent & Italy. Bonnard was organized by the museum in conjunction with the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. Education Programs - Programs interpreting exhibition and the permanent collection were presented throughout the year, including family, school and teacher, adult and community outreach, as well as theme tours in the galleries.

GOALS AND RESULTS

2. Education Programs - The Denver Art Museum has been recognized as the most "family friendly" museum in the U.S. Our current programs continue to be updated, and the museum will introduce new programs in 2006 when our expansion project is completed.

Objectives for Fiscal Year Beginning September 1, 2005

1. The Denver Art Museum will celebrate the opening of the addition of the Frederic C. Hamilton Building, a geometric explosion of glass and titanium designed by Daniel Libeskind. The 146,000-square-foot Hamilton Building will nearly double the size of the museum. It will house several collections that have never been on permanent display. Three new state-of-the-art special exhibition galleries will allow the museum to bring unprecedented exhibitions to the region. When it opens in fall of 2006, it will be an internationally significant work of architecture and a signature landmark for the city of Denver.

FINANCIAL DATA

Revenues and Expenses: Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2008

Balance Sheet: Fiscal Year Ending September 30, 2008

Note: The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot long survive, but the types of assets and liabilities also must be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
