Annual Reports

Each annual report covers the museum's fiscal year, which starts on July 1 and ends June 30. Included in the annual report are educational activities, the yearly financial report and lists of the year's art acquisitions, exhibitions, publications, the Board of Trustees and supporters.

Annual report production was deferred during SAM's recent expansion and capital campaign project. Earlier versions of SAM annual reports are available for consultation at the Dorthy Stimson Bullitt Library.
