This program was developed to share Carlo Pittore's artwork and ephemera with the general public. IAM worked collaboratively with a local gallery to mount an epic retrospective exhibition focused on Pittore's exploration of identity as medium. We hosted a public dinner to celebrate the artist and to welcome the local community into our space. We also exhibited video footage of Pittore that hadn't been seen since the 1970s. The exhibit was covered in the press and generated rave reviews from professionals, scholars, artists, and the general public. 23432 0 0 Exhibition - Josefina Auslender - Public education. This program was developed to pair the work of Josefina Auslender with a local contemporary artist from a much younger generation - cementing the connection between her work and the current generation. The selected works focused on loss, memory and the processing of tragedy. IAM worked collaboratively with a local gallery to mount a two-person exhibition of the artists' work, inviting curators, scholars, and the general public. Sadly, this exhibition coincided with a terrible shooting here in our Maine community. IAM was able to extend the duration of the exhibition to offer a space of solace for those folks in the grieving process. 11247 0 0 Archiving Project: Carlo Pittore - Public Education. This program was developed to inventory, document and preserve the life's work of Carlo Pittore, a male, Jewish, gay artist who was instrumental in the fight for artists' rights. Pittore was a significant figure in the mail art movement, an influential teacher, activist, and painter. IAM is working to ensure his life's work is properly documented and digitized, offering the public unprecedented access to his collection. Pittore maintained correspondence with hundreds of active artists during his lifetime, including Keith Haring, E.F. Higgins, Buster Cleveland, John Held, Jr., Lucy Lippard, Coco Gordon and more. This program will result in an updated appraisal of Pittore's collection, a digitized archive of his most significant artworks and correspondences, and a full inventory of the collection. This year we documented and archived 1,000 works on paper, adding them to our online database. 3789 0 0 Part III.4d: Our other program services include a documentary film project developed to educate the public about the life and work of Josefina Auslender, a female, Jewish, Latin American artist who immigrated to Cape Elizabeth, Maine from Argentina. Auslender was a significant figure in Argentina in the 80s and 90s, before relocating to the United States. This program will result in a full-length documentary film to be promoted at film festivals, on local television, and at various arts events around the world. 2392 0 0 Online Archive: Josefina Auslender - Public Education. Our other program services include the research and development of an online archive to showcase the work of IAM artists. This program will enable curators, scholars, and other interested parties to study our collections off-site. It includes the maintenance of a website and the build-out of an online database system. The goal of this project is to create a digitally accessible archive of all of the works in IAM's collection, publicly available through our website. 6181 0 0 83038 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 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 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 4 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 ME X Sarah Bouchard 2078099670 13 Nequasset Pines Rd Woolwich ME 04579 Sarah Bouchard President and Secretary 3 0 X 0 0 0 Kent Gordon Treasurer 2 4 X 0 0 0 Andrew Graham Officer 1 10 X 0 0 0 Heather Chontos Officer 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85050 70689 85050 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 85050 0 0 0 X 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 0 0 40800 36720 3080 1000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3789 3789 0 0 1124 1124 0 0 1663 750 329 584 780 500 280 0 0 0 0 0 4566 4566 0 0 869 572 297 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1216 0 1216 0 Exhibitions 15647 15647 0 0 Framing 10978 10978 0 0 Special Projects 8392 8392 0 0 Postage, Printing and Copying 2504 0 0 2504 1401 901 500 93729 83038 6103 4588 17123 8444 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 965400 965400 982523 973844 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17123 8444 0 0 965400 965400 982523 973844 982523 973844 -8679 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 66907 58325 83018 83439 85050 376739 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 66907 58325 83018 83439 85050 376739 68988 307751 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 376739 0 0.81688 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 965400 0 965400 X X X X X Education 0 Artwork 965400 965400 Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 Schedule D, Part III, Line 4 - One of the core exempt purposes of our organization is the care and preservation of the collections of under-represented artists to educate the public on the works of brilliant, relatively unknown artists. In caring for the collection of late artist Carlo Pittore, currently valued at $955,400.00, IAM is committed to documenting, inventorying, and creating a digital archive of Pittore's work to be accessed by scholars, artists, curators, and members of the general public. We are also invested in loaning works for public exhibition, creating publications on the artist and his work, and preserving the work for future generations. A second gift of portraits of Pittore, valued at $10,000, was donated by acclaimed photographer Judy Glickman Lauder in 2019.
