The journey deeply affected his sensibilities, and Phillips purchased several prints by a Japanese artist before returning to the States. His admiration of such works led to a greater appreciation for Japanese aesthetics, composition and color choice; and ultimately the trip proved instrumental in forming his ideas of collecting throughout his life. The Phillips Collection will pay homage to this connection in spring 2015 with a series of exhibitions, special programs and anniversary celebrations dedicated to cultural diplomacy between Japan and the United States. GALA HOST Lockheed Martin DIPLOMATIC CHAIR His Excellency Kenichiro Sasae, the Ambassador of Japan, and Mrs. Nobuko Sasae GALA CHAIR The Honorable Ann Stock AUCTION CO-CHAIRS Laura Deming and Paige Speyer Featuring approximately 10 photographs and 3 sculptures, EXHIBITION Hiroshi Sugimoto: Conceptual Forms / Mathematical Models highlights the work of one of Japan’s most important contemporary artists. The exhibition is on view at the Phillips February 7–May 10, 2015. In 2015, the Phillips will celebrate the 25th anniversary of ANNIVERSARY the renovation and expansion of its 1960s modernist wing, now called the Goh Annex, which was made possible by the generous support of Japanese businessman Yasuhiro Goh. CHERRY BLOSSOMThis spring marks the 5th year of partnership between The Phillips Collection and the National Cherry Blossom Festival. FESTIVAL In conjunction with the Festival, the Phillips will host an “Art in Springtime” weekend, with a focus on festival-themed gallery tours and public programs. SUPPORTING K–12 ARTS EDUCATION The Annual Gala raises critical resources for the museum’s award-winning education programs that inspire creativity, foster a greater understanding of our world, and provide lifelong learning experiences for more than 48,000 children, teachers, and families in the Washington, DC, community and across the country annually. The Phillips Collection pushes the boundaries of K–12 education with Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series teaching kit and the development of the Prism of Arts Integration teaching framework, a program to support teachers of any subject as they develop arts-integrated lessons and curricula. Arts integration is a nationally-recognized educational approach that is cited by the President’s Commission on the Arts and Humanities as having been used “in a number of very successful long-term programs to expand arts opportunities, engage students more deeply in learning content, and as an effective school reform strategy.” Programs provide teachers and students with high-quality, in-depth training, resources, classroom workshops, museum tours, transportation, and Young Artists Exhibitions designed to foster self-expression and empowerment. Arts are used as a “learning bridge,” linking to core curriculum subjects such as science, math, social studies, and language arts. The Phillips Collection is expanding this award-winning program nationally, embarking on a focused, rigorous study that will produce and disseminate an innovative educational tool and suite of arts integration resources that can be used easily by any teacher in any subject area, thereby promoting widespread and effective arts integration practices in K–12 schools and curricula nationwide. Proceeds from the Annual Gala support these efforts. Visit PhillipsCollection.org/learn/k-12-education for more about the Phillips’s education programs. PRISM.K.12 A TEACHING FRAMEWORK FOR K–12 TEACHERS OF ANY SUBJECT TO CREATE RICH ARTS-INTEGRATED CURRICULA I have loved using the Prism.K12 framework for teaching arts integration for the past three years. As we plan our arts integration projects for the year, we are collaborating with our art teacher to use the Prism.12 ray “connect” to link empathy in writing to empathy to figures in art. I am excited to see what is to come! Benjamin Frazell, Third Grade Teacher The Inspired Teaching School As a first grade teacher who is passionate about art, I like how one activity in my classroom includes so many facets of Prism.K12 to help students connect content areas through art and vice versa. We used the ray “connect” to explore van Gogh as a storyteller while learning about narrative structure in language arts, weaving together the artist’s portraiture (characters), landscapes (settings), and movement/action (plot). This work will lead into the “synthesize” ray, as the students prepare to write and produce a play in the spring.
