nearly 4,000 works spans centuries and consists of paintings, drawings, graphics, sculpture,
furniture, and decorative arts. The core collection, acquired by Museum founders Louis and
Charlotte Hyde, includes works by such artists as Sandro Botticelli, El Greco, Rembrandt, Peter

American artists Thomas Eakins, Childe Hassam,Winslow Homer, and James McNeill Whistler.

Josef Albers, Dorothy Dehner,Sam Gilliam, Adolph Gottlieb, Grace Hartigan, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol
LeWitt, George McNeil, Robert Motherwell, Ben Nicholson, Robert Rauschenberg, and Bridget
Riley.The Hyde is among a handful of art museums in New England and northern New York that
are nationally recognized for their excellence and for their cultural and economic impact. To
fulfill its mission, the Museum offers an active schedule of exhibitions, educational programs,
and special events. The Hyde strives to make learning about art exhilarating, relevant, and fun,
and it seeks to demonstrate that museums can be (and should be) welcoming and enriching
cultural resources dedicated to the betterment of their communities.

6. Describe your event:

2
The Hyde is the premier visual arts institution in the region, and it is working now, under Erin
Coe's leadership,to position itself as an arts destination for arts lovers throughout the
Northeast and beyond. It is not just a gem that a day-trippers find by accident, it is a year-
round anchor for thousands of would-be cultural tourists (day-trippers and overnighters)—the
new Feibes &Schmitt Gallery (which has already made national and international news) and
the annual exhibition schedule are designed to attract visitors from far and wide, and bolster
economic activity. Each of the exhibitions is accompanied by a dynamic sets of programs
(lectures, activities, concerts, art tours), and each exhibition puts heads into beds and people
into restaurants seats. This year,the economic argument is especially on point, given three
main events:the opening of the Feibes&Schmitt Gallery; a blockbuster Ellsworth Kelly
exhibition on loan from Portland, OR; and a nationally-travelling exhibition on Folk Art in
America. If awarded funds,The Hyde would promote the following events/exhibitions:
To Distribute and Multiply:The Feibes&Schmitt Gift
(Expected: 10,000—15,000)
With this inaugural exhibition in the new Feibes &Schmitt Gallery, The Hyde Collection
establishes itself as a major museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in upstate New York.
The exhibition will include around 40 works by such iconic artists as Josef Albers, Ellsworth
Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Louise Nevelson, Bridget Riley, and Andy Warhol. The opening of the gallery
will make national arts news and draw visitors from around the world —it's already been
mentioned by the New York Times,Art in America,Art News, all of our local television and print
media, and many others. It is expected to draw thousands of additional visitors to the region
each year.The extra gallery space also aims to extend the typical visitor's stay at The Hyde
Collection by 60 minutes, which in turn,will push more Museum visitors to area shops and
eateries.
Ellsworth Kelly:Slow Curve/Fruits&Flowers
(Expected: 7,500 during the summer.)
Ellsworth Kelly created Diagonal with Curve XII, Blue#611 for his friends,Werner Feibes and
James Schmitt. In conjunction with the opening of the Feibes&Schmitt Gallery,this exhibition
of more than 70 prints examines Kelly's experimentation with curved fields of color,from tight
ellipses and shapes with rounded corners to broad arcs and segments. Many of these geometric
shapes derived from his simple line-drawn images of nature.Twenty-six prints from his Plant
Series will form a small companion exhibition in the Whitney-Renz Gallery. All of the works
come from the extensive collection of Ellsworth Kelly prints belonging to the Jordan Schnitzer
Family Foundation in Portland, Oregon.
The Nuremberg Chronicle
(during same time as A Shared Legacy)
The Nuremberg Chronicle is one of the most important books in history, and The Hyde has one
in its collection. The illustrated book follows the story of human history related in the Bible; it
2
3
includes the histories of a number of important Western cities.The Hyde's will be on display in
the Hoopes Gallery this fall, along with similar illustrated manuscripts. Details to follow.
A Shared Legacy:Folk Art in America
(Expected: 5,000—8,000)
Until the late nineteenth century, American homes were decorated with paintings,furniture,
and decorative pieces made by regional artists, few of whom had received any formal artistic
training. Their work was colorful and creative, and often combined traditional forms and motifs
with innovative materials and functions. Communities like the Pennsylvania Germans
celebrated their European origins by perpetuating Old Country types of furniture and
decoration.This exhibition celebrates the nation's vibrant folk art traditions in the era before
the rise of the professionally trained artist.The exhibition is drawn from the Barbara L. Gordon
Collection and is organized and circulated by Art Services International,Alexandria,Virginia, and
it will be a blockbuster, drawing many visitors from central New York, Canada, and New
England.

conventions, trade shows, special events and other directly related and supported
activities. Promotion or promoting is defined as furthering the growth of,establishment of,sales,
and/or contributing to the growth,enlargement,or prosperity of and/or to forward or to encourage or to

The Hyde Collection's extensive exhibition schedule drives visitors to Queensbury, Glens
Falls, and Warren County all year long—it is not a one-off event, it is a consistent, sustained
effort to bring visitors to the area from all over the country(as well as international,which
accounts for 2%of our visitorship). Besides the exceptional, high-quality art itself—art not
otherwise available to residents of Queensbury without a trip to New York or Boston —the
exhibitions listed above will also be major cultural tourism drivers. All funds received from
the Town of Queensbury will be expended to promote the exhibitions above, which will
bring thousands to the Queensbury area between July and December 2017.
10. Do you have empirical data that supports your request? If so please describe:
Yes. The Hyde tracks visitor statistics, including attendance,zip codes, and countries.
Analysis of the last eight years of data shows an average of 30,000 visitors per year(2013—
a banner year—delivered 52,050 visitors). (Additional note: Queensbury residents are
served by The Hyde as well, accounting for more than 12%of our total annual visitors.)
According to zip code analysis, 24.5%of visitors in 2016 travelled to The Hyde from outside
a three-hour radius of Queensbury, NY(10.3%are outside the Northeast and 1.8%are
international travelers). In other words,these visitors are beyond an area that would
typically be classified as day-trip territory. This reinforces survey data collected by The
Hyde, which indicated that 25%of visitors have stayed in local hotels, inns, or cottages
during their visit to the Museum. Given that The Hyde expects 18,000—20,000 visitors
between July 1 and December 31 of this year,the Museum believes it will convert 4,410
overnighters (18,000 x 24.5%) in the second half of this year.Accounting for doubling up on
rooms,The Hyde split the 4,410 in half to project 2,205 rooms during this period. Most of
these rooms are booked in Queensbury-based lodging options.
11. Does your organization receive support from any other municipality? Is so, please
describe:
We receive support from Warren County, but that amount has been decreased since the
County is urging organization to apply to specific municipalities. We were allocated $10,000
for this year, down from $17,500 in 2016.
12. *Specific to the funds you are requesting, please detail below how this money will be
spent:
The Hyde employees a mix of local and regional advertising and public relations strategies
as well as traditional and digital advertising, including IP retargeting. Specific markets will be
targeted based on each exhibition and anticipated interest. Beyond the northeast and mid-
Atlantic markets,The Hyde's summer cycle reaches into Montreal and down to NYC metro.
The Hyde advertises in fine arts/trade magazines, radio, and print.Specifically, if awarded
funds, The Hyde will use the support for print advertising in Hudson Valley and New England
to pull people to Queensbury/Glens Falls, as well as a digital advertising and IP retargeting
efforts to attach visitors from Albany south who are interested in art, fine arts, visual arts,
4
5
etc. (Targeted ads based on geography, interest, and context.) We estimate 60%of funds
(6,000) will be used for print advertising and 40% (4,000) will be used for digital strategies.
As always,The Hyde Collection will proudly display the Town's logo on all print ads and
promotional products purchased with awarded funds;The Hyde will list the Town of
Queensbury in its quarterly newsletter to members and on its website;the Town of
Queensbury will be prominently displayed on the Museum's website for recognition during
click-through digital ads; and the Town's logo will appear on exhibition wall text, banners,
and circulate on Hyde TV(which runs in the lobby).
*Note 1:You will be reimbursed based on actual expenses and based on the receipts you submit. You will
only receive that amount approved by the Town Board.
*Note 2:If the occupancy tax you are requesting will be spent on the purchase of promotion products, like
media ads,coffee mugs,handouts, etc.,those products must include the Town's logo. TV or radio
advertising would have to include recognition of the Town of Queensbury.
13. If applicable, explain how you have used the town's occupancy tax distribution(s) in the
past 5 years:
The Town of Queensbury has provided generous support to The Hyde collection for more
than 16 years, recognizing the Museum's role as an important cultural and education
resource and tourism attraction in our region.
In 2016,The Hyde Collection was allocated $7,500 to support marketing efforts related to
the major exhibitions (thank you!). Prior years,we were awarded $8,000(2015) or$10,000
in funding(2014—promotion and advertising; 2013 for general operations during its major
exhibition,Modern Nature: Georgia O'Keeffe and Lake George, which reached over 40,000).
In 2012,The Hyde received $7,000 for general operating, and in 2011,The Hyde received
$8,000.Thank you for the continued support!
