FROM THE CHAIRMAN
AND DIRECTOR

Dear Supporter,

Manifesting myriad emotions, a painting can move and inspire people of
different cultures, races, and generations, transcending language, geopolitical
boundaries—even eras in time.Art holds an increasingly powerful and
venerable position in modern culture, especially as our 21st-century world of
smartphones and social media makes meaningful human connections and
mutual understanding seem like scarce treasures. With that in mind, we at The
Phillips Collection continue to harness the might of our world-class collection
to foster global conversations about art but also well-being, creativity, and civic
responsibility.

These are connections that may not seem linear to those who are unfamiliar
with the Phillips,though they certainly carry on founder Duncan Phillips’s
legacy.It was his desire for the museum to become,in his words,“an experiment
station,” and over the past year we have boldly forged new ideas and arranged
novel juxtapositions of painting,dance,and music.

Our educational initiatives in the galleries and in DC public schools have
catalyzed learning across seemingly disparate disciplines such as the sciences
and humanities; and our work with Georgetown University’s School of Foreign
Service reveals new opportunities for cultural exchange and diplomacy.

We continue to expand Duncan Phillips's vision of “creative conversations”
today through our international exhibitions, vibrant programs, and an
increasingly diverse range of disciplines and partnerships.

Now is a wonderfully exciting time in the history of The Phillips

Collection, proven in numbers by the record-breaking attendance to

Van Gogh Repetitions and worldwide media buzz about our research on

Picasso’s Blue Room. Our long-held values of innovation and originality

align perfectly with today’s tech-savvy and entrepreneurial world.

Your support is the fuel that powers the creative engine that is The Phillips
Collection, and for this we are very grateful. We know you have choices when it
comes to your philanthropy and we value and appreciate that you have chosen
to consider the Phillips among your top priorities. We are resolute in our
commitment to be good stewards of your investments and hope that you will
continue to entrust us with your generosity now and for years to come.

With all best regards,

GEORGE VRADENBURG DOROTHY KOSINSKI
