LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
On the occasion of our Annual Meeting this October
30, I am pleased to continue the tradition of presenting
the Annual Report for The Arts Club of Chicago’s
2013–2014 fiscal year. This report will provide you with
a clear and complete picture of The Arts Club’s exciting
accomplishments over this past year.
This year’s number of new members is quite impressive,
as is the record number of programs and exhibitions. An
overview of our finances highlights our successes and a
balanced budget. This is a moment to truly celebrate our
vibrant Club and our important participation in its future.
Club, valuing this unique place where we can all enjoy and
share transformative art. Please accept my sincere thanks
for all you do to make the Club one of the most special
organizations of its kind anywhere in the world. I am
grateful for this opportunity to help lead this institution
towards its 100th Anniversary in 2016 and beyond. Please
join me in thanking The Arts Club’s Board of Directors
for their volunteer service and in recognizing all of our
remarkable staff, led by Janine Mileaf, Executive Director,
for an outstanding year.

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The past year at The Arts Club has been a whirlwind of
activity. Our programs and exhibitions signaled a renewed
engagement with Chicago and its artistic communities,
while also initiating a conversation with the past that will
lead to our 100th Anniversary in 2016. We opened our
exhibition season with a landmark commission by Josiah
McElheny that included performance, film, and installation.
In collaboration with John Vinci, McElheny designed a glass
pavilion in the mode of Mies van der Rohe. Entitled The
Club for Modern Fashions, it became home for an opening
night in which performers dressed in attire spanning from
the 1920s through the 1970s. That event set the stage for an
interactive exhibition that brought in a wide audience and
participants, as well as critical praise to the Club. Volunteers,
who ranged from art students to actors, Arts Club members
to writers, came to The Arts Club each day in self-styled
fashions of the twentieth century.
The exhibition season continued with a stunning group of
oil paintings by Émilie Charmy that harkened back to the
founding moments of the Club. Charmy participated in
the Armory Show, an extravaganza of modernism that came
to Chicago in 1913, and inspired a group of city leaders to
establish a home for modern art that would become The
Arts Club of Chicago in 1916. Charmy, a French painter
whose extraordinary output has been overlooked for decades,
is now being acknowledged for her confident palette and
brushstrokes in daring self-portrayals and female nudes. This
exhibition, which originated at the University of Virginia, is
her first U.S. retrospective.
The final exhibition of the season again turned to the
legacy of The Arts Club to generate phenomenal new
work. Simon Starling, winner of the 2005 Turner
Prize, produced an original series of photographs that
trace eighteen Brancusi sculptures from an exhibition
organized by Marcel Duchamp at The Arts Club in 1927.
Unearthing the provenance of Brancusi’s sculptures, Starling
rephotographed each one in its current location. This
exhibition coincided with a survey of Starling’s work at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago—marking the first
such collaboration between these two institutions and once
again working to open our doors to a broader audience.
The Arts Club was also pleased to present its first garden
installation with Chicago artists Joseph and Sarah Belknap,
who imagined the arrested movement of meteorites in six
large-scale rocks suspended above the garden space. The
installation was visible to street traffic, as well as to diners
inside The Arts Club.
Last fall, The Arts Club was honored to welcome esteemed
architect Billie Tsien to reestablish the annual Rue Shaw
lecture. In June, we inaugurated a new annual event in
honor of past presidents Stanley Freehling and Marilynn
Alsdorf. Artist, curator, and critic Robert Storr, current Dean
of the Yale University School of Art, spoke about conceptual
art and provided a context for the Simon Starling exhibition.
Our members further enjoyed concerts, performances, and
presentations that ranged from former ice skating champion
Dick Button to young award-winning filmmaker Anahita
Zadeh; from artist Theaster Gates discussing philosophy
with UIC Art School Director Lisa Yun Lee to British art
critic Martin Gayford reminiscing on his portrait sittings
with Lucien Freud; or Spektral Quartet’s interpretations of
George Crumb’s Black Angels to a series of paper-inspired
performances by Alison Knowles in honor of the 50th
anniversary of Fluxus.
The Arts Club expanded its public mission this year in
an effort to fulfill our founding intention to educate the
Chicago public about the arts. We did this initially through
a new series of free Saturday talks entitled CASES, which
addressed the speaker’s passion for a particularly thorny art
form. Composer Marcos Balter explained his love of new
music, while Joseph Ravens presented a case for performance
art. The public was also welcome to experience live
performance during Arts Club et al., an evening of pop-up
performances of music, dance, and theater that took place
in the galleries. It has been a pleasure to be able to stimulate
conversation about the arts in this city and we are grateful
to you, our members, for the dues that support such efforts.
We look forward to continuing to expand our reach into the
arts and cultural communities, while providing first-class
events for our membership.
