Committed to welcoming all people, the Hunter is very intentional about including under-represented artists and audiences in both the artwork it presents and the visitors and communities it engages. The Hunter Museum has been continuously accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 1982. 1922404 The Hunters permanent collection includes nearly 3,000 works of American art, all of which are accessible through the museums website, spanning the early 1700s to today, presented across 20 galleries within the museum. The museums three strategic collecting priorities are works by female artists, both historic and contemporary, works by artists of color, both historic and contemporary, and technology-based works, including photography, video, and new media. Making artwork available outside the walls of the museum, the Hunter has over 20 sculptures installed throughout the city and regularly loans artwork to other institutions around the country, furthering the museums accessibility to a wider audience. The museum presents 4 to 6 special exhibitions each year, many of which are organized internally. Accompanying the artwork on display are multiple interactive spaces, offering guests the opportunity to become creators themselves. 307636 79738 The museum is a leader in youth and adult educational experiences, partnering with area organizations and community members to create customized experiences for a range of audiences, such as Black professionals, teenagers, Title 1 school students, Spanish speaking students and adults, area educators, and prison inmates. Public programs engage with community issues and many feature BIPOC creatives and local leaders, all paid for their participation. Recognizing that affordability can be a barrier to access, the museum offers free admission for youth 17 and under, military families, and social service groups, multiple free programs, and free admission on the first Thursday afternoon of every month. A partnership with Museums for All offers EBT cardholders and their guests deeply discounted admission year-round. Fully ADA compliant, the museum has developed hands-on tools to offer additional avenues of access for low vision guests and those on the autism spectrum and continually seeks to meet audiences where they are. 4141296 true true false false false false false true false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false false true true true true true false false false false false false false true 44 0 96 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false X 27 27 false true false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X X X Gordon Stalans 4237852054 One Broad Street PO Box 11048 Chattanooga TN 37402 Virginia Anne Sharber Executive Director 040.00 X 218299 0 27792 Robert Majors Director of Internal Operations 040.00 X 114890 0 14691 Cara McGowan Director of Institutional Advancement 040.00 X 110092 0 18351 Todd Womack Board Chair 004.00 X X 0 0 0 Andrea Crouch Past Board Chair 004.00 X X 0 0 0 Dan Norton Treasurer 004.00 X X 0 0 0 BettyeLynn Smith Secretary 004.00 X X 0 0 0 John Bode Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Gavin Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Terri Holley Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 John Shearburn Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Reese Veltenaar Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Angie Supan Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Quintin Alford Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Carley Boehm Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Chanda Chambers Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Amanda Jackson Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Daniela Peterson Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Julie Stowe Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Janelle Reilly Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Johnny O'Brien Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Zabel Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Ward Davenport Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Kelly Arnold Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Dan Pratt Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Dakasha Winton Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Berry Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Allison Cromie Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Dana Perry Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 Harolda Bryson Trustee 002.00 X 0 0 0 443281 60834 3 false true false Tennessee Aquarium One Broad St PO Box 11048 Chattanooga TN 37402 Management Services 169997 1 94000 433198 272990 1251152 588548 2051340 General Admission Revenue 712110 388404 388404 Education Program Revenue 712110 79738 79738 468142 434697 434697 694113 337666 356447 356447 356447 1244462 1092734 1244462 1092734 2337196 2337196 869873 461344 408529 408529 106721 50609 56112 56112 Other Income 712110 21416 21416 21416 6133879 902117 3180422 0 0 0 0 258262 64565 116218 77479 0 1729531 1115136 386779 227616 87699 60471 15598 11630 182195 123896 44424 13875 137642 85155 36827 15660 87250 87250 0 19750 19750 0 122160 122160 105064 39082 65982 116698 808 106913 8977 29009 6568 22441 128228 128228 0 158704 111093 31741 15870 12268 6301 5967 0 44172 6792 3793 33587 59616 59616 0 1106068 774247 221214 110607 89366 62556 17873 8937 Program Supplies 14928 14928 Exhibition Fees 152616 152616 Art Acquisition Conservation 1323335 1323335 Repairs Maintenance 168256 168256 90732 25491 64774 467 6223549 4141296 1557548 524705 4420 4420 1165496 1968901 90868 52664 117998 59838 19479 20752 340404 138813 32398553 18835696 14503951 13562857 16382184 17130400 12009952 11982111 44634752 44920756 431498 413639 197138 182464 1030649 1029436 1659285 1625539 X 27834952 27344204 15140515 15951013 42975467 43295217 44634752 44920756 -89670 409420 X false true X true false X 2699034 3970843 1363326 2504041 2051340 12588584 2699034 3970843 1363326 2504041 2051340 12588584 12588584 385805 745283 917762 855432 1128810 4033092 1064 10052 13060 9744 21416 55336 16677012 13273012 0.75480 0.75310 X Part II Section B Line 10 Other income is parking revenue charged to park in the museums lot.
