THE TWO-STORY, 28,500-SQUARE-FOOT BUILDING BROKE GROUND IN DECEMBER 2009, CONSTRUCTION WAS COMPLETED IN SEPTEMBER 2011 AND THE MUSEUM OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN NOVEMBER 2011. THE BUILDING, CUSTOM DESIGNED BY BRAD CLOEPFIL OF ALLIED WORKS ARCHITECTURE FOR THE STORAGE AND DISPLAY OF THE STILL COLLECTION, WON THE 2012 HONOR AWARD FROM THE NEW YORK CHAPTER OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS. A CANTILEVERED CANOPY OF CONCRETE LEADS VISITORS INTO THE FIRST-FLOOR LOBBY, AND GLASS WALLS ALLOW VISITORS TO SEE INTO THE CONSERVATION STUDIO AND COLLECTIONS STORAGE. THE MUSEUM'S OPEN DESIGN EMBODIES THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF THE INSTITUTION, THE REVEALING TO THE PUBLIC OF THIS ONCE-PRIVATE AND VERY PERSONAL COLLECTION. THE SECOND FLOOR CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF NINE DISTINCT GALLERIES, HAVING VARYING CEILING HEIGHTS AND PROPORTIONS DESIGNED FOR THE OPTIMAL DISPLAY OF THE DIFFERENT ELEMENTS OF THE STILL COLLECTIONS. ONE OF THE SINGULAR FEATURES OF THE MUSEUM IS ITS DAYLIGHT SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES DIFFUSING SKYLIGHTS AND MOTORIZED SHADES SITUATED ABOVE A CUSTOM-FORMED, PERFORATED CONCRETE CEILING. THE MUSEUM'S STATE-OF-THE-ART MECHANICAL SYSTEMS MAINTAIN THE OPTIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE ARTWORKS. 1750200 169536 EXHIBITIONS AND COLLECTIONS: THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM WAS ESTABLISHED TO SERVE AS A PERMANENT REPOSITORY AND EXHIBITION PLACE FOR THE WORKS OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PAINTERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY, CLYFFORD STILL (1904-1980). CLYFFORD AND PATRICIA STILL'S WILLS DIRECTED THAT THE STILL COLLECTION BE GIVEN TO AN AMERICAN CITY THAT WOULD AGREE TO BUILD AND SUPPORT SUCH A MUSEUM. AFTER THE ARTIST'S DEATH IN 1980, THE CLYFFORD STILL ESTATE WAS SEALED OFF FROM PUBLIC AND SCHOLARLY VIEW. IN 2004-2005, THE ARTIST'S WIDOW PATRICIA SELECTED THE CITY OF DENVER TO RECEIVE THE SUBSTANTIAL STILL COLLECTION, INCLUDING THE ARTIST'S ARCHIVES. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM, AS THE STEWARD OF THIS LEGACY COLLECTION, IS CONTINUING THE LENGTHY PROCESS OF ATTENDING TO THE CONSERVATION OF STILL'S PAINTINGS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ROLLED AND IN STORAGE FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AS WELL AS THE EXTENSIVE WORKS ON PAPER COLLECTION. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO DEVOTING SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO THE INSPECTION AND CATALOGING OF THE COLLECTIONS, THE PREPARATION OF WORKS FOR EXHIBITION, AND TO THE PROPER STORAGE OF THE COLLECTIONS IN THE MUSEUM ITSELF. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION OF APPROXIMATELY 3,200 PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, PRINTS, AND SCULPTURES, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN ON PUBLIC DISPLAY BEFORE, PROVIDES AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE FULL SCOPE OF STILL'S OEUVRE AND HIS PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN ART. THE MUSEUM ANTICIPATES ROTATING EXHIBITIONS AT LEAST TWICE EACH YEAR, WITH SINGLE GALLERY EXHIBITS ROTATING SOMEWHAT MORE FREQUENTLY. 1798343 EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS: AS PART OF THE MUSEUM'S VISION TO OFFER QUALITY PROGRAMS AND CONDUCT SCHOLARLY RESEARCH RELATING TO THE ART AND LIFE OF CLYFFORD STILL, THE MUSEUM ENGAGES OUR AUDIENCES THROUGH PROGRAMS AND EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS THAT BOTH ENLIVEN MUSEUM SPACES AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDITATION - IN SINGLE EVENTS AND LONGER TERM COLLABORATIONS. PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO FOSTER A DIALOGUE ABOUT STILL'S WORK AND ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE RELEVANCE. USING THE WORK OF CLYFFORD STILL AS A POINT OF DEPARTURE, THE MUSEUM'S PROGRAMS CREATE A UNIQUE PLATFORM FOR EXPLORING THE CONCERNS OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART THROUGH MULTIPLE VOICES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM OFFERS LECTURES, FILMS, PRODUCTIONS, TOURS AND INTERPRETIVE MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT AND ENGAGE VISITORS' UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE WORK OF CLYFFORD STILL, HIS LIFE, AND SIGNIFICANCE TO MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART. PROGRAMS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKERS AND PARTNERS. THE MUSEUM DEVELOPED THE INSTILL GALLERY VISIT PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL GROUPS IN GRADES 4-12 THROUGH WHICH TRAINED GALLERY INSTRUCTORS PROVIDE THEMATICALLY INTEGRATED, STANDARDS-ALIGNED LESSONS RELATING TO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM HAS BEGUN TO DIGITIZE AND CATALOG CLYFFORD STILL'S ARCHIVES WHICH, WHEN AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS, WILL PROVIDE A RICH BODY OF MATERIALS THAT WILL ENLARGE THE UNDERSTANDING OF STILL'S WORKS AND HIS PLACE IN 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN ART. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM HAS OTHER INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO MAKE THE STILL COLLECTIONS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES. IN 2013, THE MUSEUM FORMED A RESEARCH CENTER AND HELD ITS FIRST SCHOLARLY SYMPOSIUM IN NEW YORK. THE RESEARCH CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS THAT FOSTER RESEARCH AND WRITING ABOUT CLYFFORD STILL, HIS TIME AND HIS WORK. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO PUBLISHING BOOKS THAT CONTAIN REPRODUCTIONS OF STILL'S WORKS AND SCHOLARLY AND HISTORIC ARTICLES ABOUT THE ARTIST. THE MUSEUM IS CONTINUALLY DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS TO REACH INCREASINGLY BROAD AUDIENCES. 4718744 true true false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true false false true 48 0 true 56 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 20 20 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X ANNA BOATWRIGHT 7203544870 1250 BANNOCK STREET DENVER CO 80204 JOYCE TSAI MUSEUM DIREC 40.00 0.25 X 297974 0 37700 ANNA BOATWRIGHT DEPUTY DIREC 40.00 0.25 X 204769 0 9284 BARBARA RUSSELL DIRECTOR DEV 40.00 X 143441 0 18381 KATHERINE WILSON DIRECTOR COL 40.00 X 116287 0 18708 SANYA ANDERSEN-VIE DIRECTOR EDU 40.00 X 108012 0 16975 SUSANNAH DRAKE PRESIDENT 0.25 0.25 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER SMITH TREASURER 0.25 0.25 X X 0 0 0 DANIEL BENEL TREASURER TH 0.25 0.25 X X 0 0 0 NANCY REYNOLDS VP/SECRETARY 0.25 X X 0 0 0 VINCENT ABRUE DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 CHANNING EVANS DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 ELAINE BOLTZ DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 CURT FREED MD DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 SARA CANEPA DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 ANDREW FREYER DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 CAREY LEIGH CREWS DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 SHANNA HENNIG DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 DAVID HOLLAND DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 GRETCHEN HOLLRAH DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 JULIA MILLER SHEPHERD DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 CHRIS HINDS DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 MARUCA SALAZAR DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS KACENA DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 GABRIELLE AIMEE SCHULLER DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 JULIE KENT DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 NICK KONCILJA DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 JEFF SUSMAN DIRECTOR 0.25 X 0 0 0 ROBERT MCDANIEL DIRECTOR THR 0.25 X 0 0 0 SANDRA STILL CAMPBELL DIRECTOR THR 0.25 X 0 0 0 870483 101048 5 false true false 84467 4833104 404972 846465 57752 6169008 ADMISSIONS REVENUE 900099 169536 169536 FACILITY RENTAL 900099 61893 61893 231429 16838 16838 25541 25541 140257 59837 80420 80420 6523236 311849 42379 326545 111025 107760 107760 2304683 1382203 838625 83855 99282 58647 36010 4625 431697 250584 155999 25114 183875 104809 66195 12871 290190 290190 265447 110822 154625 252474 174333 64914 13227 157333 89680 56640 11013 388549 272547 92209 23793 172620 98393 62143 12084 566604 498612 62326 5666 47800 27246 17208 3346 SECURITY 747377 747377 CONTRACT LABOR 297892 214482 65536 17874 CONSULTANTS 258563 186165 56884 15514 COLLECTION RELATED 57984 57984 47668 43645 3688 335 6896583 4718744 1840762 337077 23488 11956 218301 143974 266567 209598 151060 139252 22215 60598 28605935 10800647 17907542 17805288 556086 583613 19145259 18954279 254647 437014 790000 790000 1044647 1227014 X 17975612 17702217 125000 25048 18100612 17727265 19145259 18954279 -373347 X X false true X true false X 3879822 3634704 4318844 5783308 5764036 23380714 334355 373812 307923 335203 404972 1756265 4214177 4008516 4626767 6118511 6169008 25136979 19569748 5567231 1150 8069 9367 28362 25541 72489 25209468 1303702 0.22080 0.22850 X CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM ("CSM") MAINTAINS A CONTINUOUS AND BONA FIDE PROGRAM FOR SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, COMMUNITY, MEMBERS, GOVERNMENT UNITS, AND OTHER PUBLIC CHARITIES. CSM MAINTAINS CONSISTENT AND SIGNIFICANT LEVELS OF SUPPORT FROM INDIVIDUAL DONORS, GOVERNMENT UNITS, AND PUBLIC CHARITIES, IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING MEMBERSHIP REVENUE. CSM ANNUALLY PROCESSED DONATIONS FROM AN AVERAGE OF MORE THAN 1,700 DIFFERENT DONORS IN ITS FIVE MOST RECENT TAX YEARS, AND AVERAGED MORE THAN 950 MEMBERSHIP TRANSACTIONS EACH YEAR SINCE THE MUSEUM OPENED IN 2011. IN THE FIVE MOST RECENT TAX YEARS, CSM'S REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENT UNITS HAS AVERAGED 479,403 ANNUALLY. THE MUSEUM HAS MAINTAINED A CONTINUOUS PROGRAM OF SOLICITING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC, BOTH FROM MEMBERSHIPS AND CONTRIBUTED REVENUE. THE MUSEUM HAS STAFF DEDICATED TO MEMBERSHIP AND DEVELOPMENT, AND THESE STAFF MEMBERS ACTIVELY SEEK MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS AND NEW MEMBERSHIPS, AND THEY PURSUE CONTRIBUTED REVENUE FROM GOVERNMENTAL SOURCES, FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS, AND INDIVIDUALS. THE MUSEUM AUGMENTED THIS STAFF IN 2022 WITH THE HIRING OF A NEW SENIOR LEADERSHIP POSITION, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT, AND HAS CONTINUED TO BUILD THE DEPARTMENT WITH A DEDICATED MEMBERSHIP MANAGER ADDED IN 2023 AND A DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE ADDED IN 2024. THESE STRATEGIC HIRES PLAY LEAD ROLES IN HELPING THE MUSEUM ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN INCREASING PUBLIC SUPPORT. IN 2025, THE MUSEUM WROTE A NEW STRATEGIC PLAN FOR 2026-2030, WHICH INCLUDES A FOCUS ON CONTINUED GROWTH AND DIVERSIFICATION OF PHILANTHROPIC PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR THE MUSEUM ALONGSIDE MAJOR PROJECTS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO STILL'S WORK TO THE PUBLIC. COVID IMPLICATIONS LIKE MOST ARTS ORGANIZATIONS, CSM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT LEVELS WERE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN 2020 AND 2021 DUE TO REDUCED MUSEUM ATTENDANCE AND MEMBERSHIP (DRIVEN IN PART BY MANDATORY CLOSURES), AS WELL AS MORE LIMITED DONATIONS FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ACCORDINGLY, CSM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT LEVELS DROPPED BELOW 33 1/3% FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE 2021 TAX YEAR. FOUNDATION CONTRIBUTIONS AND PUBLIC PURPOSE FROM 2015 TO PRESENT, THE MUSEUM HAS RECEIVED AND RELIED UPON INCREASED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM FOUNDATION (THE "FOUNDATION") TO HELP COVER CSM'S OPERATING EXPENSES. BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION CONVERTED TO AN INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 509(A)(3) SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE FOUNDATION'S CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOW EXCLUDED FROM CSM'S PUBLIC SUPPORT BECAUSE OF THE 2% LIMITATION (PRIOR TO THE CONVERSION, THE FOUNDATION WAS A CODE SECTION 170(B)(1)(A)(VI) PUBLICLY SUPPORTED CHARITY, CONTRIBUTIONS FROM WHICH COUNTED 100% TOWARDS PUBLIC SUPPORT). IT IS WORTH NOTING, HOWEVER, THAT THE ORIGINAL SOURCE OF THE CORPUS OF THE FOUNDATION'S ENDOWMENT ASSETS WAS GOVERNMENTAL-I.E., A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER. IN 2011, THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER PETITIONED THE MARYLAND COURTS FOR THE REFORMATION OF PATRICIA STILL'S WILL, SEEKING THE RELEASE OF FOUR PAINTINGS FROM THAT ESTATE'S ASSETS FOR PURPOSES OF SALE TO GENERATE AN ENDOWMENT FOR THE MUSEUM. THIS PETITION WAS GRANTED, AND THE CITY TRANSFERRED THE PROCEEDS FROM ITS SALE OF THESE FOUR PAINTINGS TO CSM, WHICH IN TURN ESTABLISHED THE FOUNDATION TO HOLD AND MANAGE THESE INVESTMENT FUNDS. THE ORIGINAL GOVERNMENTAL SOURCE OF CSM'S INVESTMENT ASSETS (WHICH ARE HELD BY THE SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION FOUNDATION) HELPS DEMONSTRATE THAT CSM IS SERVING A PUBLIC PURPOSE. IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING THE SOURCE OF THE INITIAL FUNDING FOR THE FOUNDATION, CSM'S ART COLLECTION CONTINUES TO BE OWNED BY THE CITY AND COUNTY OF DENVER, THE CITY HAVING RECEIVED THE ARTWORK FROM THE ARTIST'S AND HIS WIDOW'S ESTATES.

IN 2004-2005, THE ARTIST'S WIDOW PATRICIA SELECTED THE CITY OF DENVER TO RECEIVE THE SUBSTANTIAL STILL COLLECTION, INCLUDING THE ARTIST'S ARCHIVES. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM, AS THE STEWARD OF THIS LEGACY COLLECTION, IS CONTINUING THE LENGTHY PROCESS OF ATTENDING TO THE CONSERVATION OF STILL'S PAINTINGS, MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ROLLED AND IN STORAGE FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AS WELL AS THE EXTENSIVE WORKS ON PAPER COLLECTION. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO DEVOTING SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES TO THE INSPECTION AND CATALOGING OF THE COLLECTIONS, THE PREPARATION OF WORKS FOR EXHIBITION, AND TO THE PROPER STORAGE OF THE COLLECTIONS IN THE MUSEUM ITSELF. THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTION OF APPROXIMATELY 3,200 PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS, PRINTS, AND SCULPTURES, THE MAJORITY OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN ON PUBLIC DISPLAY BEFORE, PROVIDES AN UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT ON THE FULL SCOPE OF STILL'S OEUVRE AND HIS PROFOUND INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN ART. THE MUSEUM ANTICIPATES ROTATING EXHIBITIONS AT LEAST TWICE EACH YEAR, WITH SINGLE GALLERY EXHIBITS ROTATING SOMEWHAT MORE FREQUENTLY. FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C EDUCATION AND PROGRAMS: AS PART OF THE MUSEUM'S VISION TO OFFER QUALITY PROGRAMS AND CONDUCT SCHOLARLY RESEARCH RELATING TO THE ART AND LIFE OF CLYFFORD STILL, THE MUSEUM ENGAGES OUR AUDIENCES THROUGH PROGRAMS AND EDUCATIONAL OFFERINGS THAT BOTH ENLIVEN MUSEUM SPACES AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDITATION - IN SINGLE EVENTS AND LONGER TERM COLLABORATIONS. PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO FOSTER A DIALOGUE ABOUT STILL'S WORK AND ITS CURRENT AND FUTURE RELEVANCE. USING THE WORK OF CLYFFORD STILL AS A POINT OF DEPARTURE, THE MUSEUM'S PROGRAMS CREATE A UNIQUE PLATFORM FOR EXPLORING THE CONCERNS OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART THROUGH MULTIPLE VOICES AND INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM OFFERS LECTURES, FILMS, PRODUCTIONS, TOURS AND INTERPRETIVE MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT AND ENGAGE VISITORS' UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE WORK OF CLYFFORD STILL, HIS LIFE, AND SIGNIFICANCE TO MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART. PROGRAMS INCLUDE A VARIETY OF LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKERS AND PARTNERS. THE MUSEUM DEVELOPED THE INSTILL GALLERY VISIT PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL GROUPS IN GRADES 4-12 THROUGH WHICH TRAINED GALLERY INSTRUCTORS PROVIDE THEMATICALLY INTEGRATED, STANDARDS-ALIGNED LESSONS RELATING TO THE MUSEUM'S COLLECTIONS. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM HAS BEGUN TO DIGITIZE AND CATALOG CLYFFORD STILL'S ARCHIVES WHICH, WHEN AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS AND SCHOLARS, WILL PROVIDE A RICH BODY OF MATERIALS THAT WILL ENLARGE THE UNDERSTANDING OF STILL'S WORKS AND HIS PLACE IN 20TH CENTURY AMERICAN ART. THE CLYFFORD STILL MUSEUM HAS OTHER INITIATIVES DESIGNED TO MAKE THE STILL COLLECTIONS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO A VARIETY OF AUDIENCES. IN 2013, THE MUSEUM FORMED A RESEARCH CENTER AND HELD ITS FIRST SCHOLARLY SYMPOSIUM IN NEW YORK. THE RESEARCH CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP PROGRAMS THAT FOSTER RESEARCH AND WRITING ABOUT CLYFFORD STILL, HIS TIME AND HIS WORK. THE MUSEUM IS ALSO PUBLISHING BOOKS THAT CONTAIN REPRODUCTIONS OF STILL'S WORKS AND SCHOLARLY AND HISTORIC ARTICLES ABOUT THE ARTIST. THE MUSEUM IS CONTINUALLY DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS TO REACH INCREASINGLY BROAD AUDIENCES.
