Mission

THE MUSEUM'S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE ALL CALIFORNIANS TO CREATE A MORE VIBRANT FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. THROUGH COLLECTIONS, EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND PUBLIC DIALOGUE, WE INSPIRE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND BACKGROUNDS TO THINK (CONT. ON SCH. O) CREATIVELY AND CRITICALLY ABOUT THE NATURAL, ARTISTIC, AND SOCIAL FORCES THAT CHARACTERIZE OUR STATE AND INFLUENCE ITS RELATIONSHIP TO THE WORLD.

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO INSPIRE ALL CALIFORNIANS TO CREATE A MORE VIBRANT FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES.

CORE GALLERIES AND SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS:IN TOTAL, THE MUSEUM SERVED 142,010 VISITORS THIS YEAR, AND A MEMBERSHIP OF NEARLY 9,000 HOUSEHOLDS. APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE MUSEUM'S VISITORS ARE RESIDENTS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, WITH 38% IDENTIFYING AS PEOPLE OF COLOR.THE MUSEUM HAS GALLERIES OF CALIFORNIA HISTORY, ART, AND NATURAL SCIENCES TO DISPLAY THE CORE COLLECTION, AS WELL AS TWO SPACES FOR TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS. THE MUSEUM IS CONTINUALLY ROTATING OBJECTS IN ITS THREE CORE COLLECTIONS GALLERIES AND TYPICALLY HOSTS TWO TO THREE TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS PER YEAR. INTERDISCIPLINARY (CONT. ON SCH. O) INTERPRETATION IS PROVIDED BY OBJECT AND THEMATIC LABELS, AUDIOVISUAL PRESENTATIONS, INTERACTIVE COMPUTER AND VIDEO TERMINALS, SELF-GUIDING BROCHURES, AND FACILITATED EXPERIENCES.THE GALLERY OF CALIFORNIA NATURAL SCIENCES FEATURES SEVEN PLACES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA THAT DEPICT THE STATE'S DIVERSITY OF CLIMATE, GEOLOGY, HABITATS, ECOSYSTEMS, AND WILDLIFE, WHILE EXPLORING CURRENT RESEARCH, CONTEMPORARY ISSUES OF LAND USE, ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICT, AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS. THE GALLERY OF CALIFORNIA ART EXHIBITS WORKS OF ALL DISCIPLINES, INCLUDING PAINTING, SCULPTURE, PHOTOGRAPHY, CRAFT, CONCEPTUAL WORK, AND NEW MEDIA, AS WELL AS DOCUMENTARY MATERIALS SUCH AS ARTISTS' TOOLS, SKETCHBOOKS, SCRAPBOOKS, AND OTHER EPHEMERA. ORGANIZED THEMATICALLY, THE GALLERY HIGHLIGHTS CALIFORNIA LAND, CALIFORNIA PEOPLE, AND CALIFORNIA CREATIVITY SUCH THAT VISITORS SEE WORKS IN DIFFERENT MEDIA AND FROM DIFFERENT PERIODS SIDE BY SIDE, INSPIRING NEW WAYS OF LOOKING AT CALIFORNIA'S VISUAL EXPRESSION. THE GALLERY OF CALIFORNIA HISTORY PRESENTS THE THEME "BECOMING CALIFORNIA" TO EMPHASIZE THE PROFOUND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT OF THOSE WHO LIVE HERE, BEGINNING WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. VISITORS TRACE THE WAYS CALIFORNIANS HAVE FORGED RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND THE WORLD THROUGH ARTIFACTS AND STORIES. IN FY24, OMCA DEVELOPED THE EXHIBITION INTO THE BRIGHTNESS: ARTISTS FROM CREATIVITY EXPLORED, CREATIVE GROWTH, & NIAD. THIS MAJOR EXHIBITION OPENED ON MAY 13, 2023 AND WAS ON VIEW UNTIL JANUARY 26, 2024. INTO THE BRIGHTNESS: ARTISTS FROM CREATIVITY EXPLORED, CREATIVE GROWTH & NIAD CELEBRATED THE MYRIAD WORKS OF WORLD-RENOWNED CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES. ROOTED IN THE IDEA THAT MAKING ART IS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN PRACTICE AND FORM OF COMMUNICATION THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO, INTO THE BRIGHTNESS INVITED VISITORS TO CONSIDER THESE ARTISTS' PERSPECTIVES ON THE WORLD THROUGH THEIR POWERFUL WORK ACROSS MULTIPLE ARTISTIC DISCIPLINES.POR EL PUEBLO: THE LEGACY AND INFLUENCE OF MALAQUAS MONTOYA WAS A POWERFUL FY24 EXHIBITION THAT EXPLORED MONTOYA'S LEGACY AS A PUBLIC-SERVING ARTIST, ACTIVIST, AND COMMUNITY LEADER. THE SHOW HIGHLIGHTED MONTOYA'S CONTRIBUTIONS AS A FOUNDER AND LEADER OF THE CHICANO ARTS MOVEMENT IN THE 1960S AND 70S AND SHOWCASED HOW CONTEMPORARY ACTIVIST-ARTISTS CONTINUE TO LIVE OUT THE THEMES OF HIS WORK TODAY. MANY OF THESE ACTIVIST-ARTISTS STILL FACE MARGINALIZATION FROM THE MAINSTREAM DUE TO THEIR COMMITMENT TO SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER IN THEIR WORKS, MUCH LIKE MONTOYA HAS DONE THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER AND ESPECIALLY IN HIS WELL-KNOWN SILKSCREEN PRINT POSTERS THAT INCORPORATE SOCIAL JUSTICE THEMES.DURING FY24, OMCA DEVELOPED CALLI: THE ART OF XICANX PEOPLES, WHICH OPENED ON JUNE 14, 2024. THIS MAJOR EXHIBITION COMBINES PHOTOGRAPHY, SCULPTURE, PAINTING, INSTALLATION, POETRY, AND MORE TO COLLECTIVELY CONSTRUCT A CALLI, OR "XICANX HOME" THAT HOLDS THE SACRED STORIES OF XICANX PEOPLES FROM PAST TO PRESENT DAY. OMCA WORKED CLOSELY WITH SEVERAL CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS TO CREATE SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATIONS FOR THE EXHIBITION, INCLUDING CONSUELO JIMENEZ UNDERWOOD AND RAFA ESPARZA. THESE WORKS ARE PRESENTED ALONGSIDE POSTERS FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF LATE QUEER CHICANA ACTIVIST AND PROFESSOR MARGARET "MARGIE" TERRAZAS-SANTOS. OMCA ACQUIRED SANTOS' POSTER COLLECTION, TITLED CALLI AMERICAS, IN 2022. CALLI WILL BE ON VIEW THROUGH JANUARY 26, 2025.OMCA MEASURES ITS SUCCESS IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF VISITORS AND MEMBERS; CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE MUSEUM FIELD; CRITICAL AND MEDIA RESPONSE TO EXHIBITIONS; AND VISITOR COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK. OMCA UNDERTAKES EXTENSIVE VISITOR EVALUATION TO MEASURE THE IMPACT OF ITS PROGRAMMING ON BOTH INDIVIDUAL AUDIENCE MEMBERS AND ON THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. WHEN SURVEYED, VISITORS RESPOND POSITIVELY BOTH TO THE MUSEUM'S IMPACT ON THEIR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THEIR SENSE OF SOCIAL COHESION WHILE VISITING.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
