Overview
Founded in 1935 as the Western United States' first modern art museum, SFMOMA has become one of the world's most innovative centers for modern and contemporary art. The museum was among the first to include photography, film, media art, architecture, and design alongside painting and sculpture. International in scope, while reflecting the Bay Area's distinctive character, the museum engages and inspires diverse audiences with over twenty exhibitions and 300 public programs annually. The museum faces an exciting challenge in the next few years - a major facility expansion to house the renowned Fisher Collection which will double the museum's gallery space, announced in September 2009. The institution recognizes the need, as it reaches the objectives in its 2004-2010 strategic plan, to have sound, innovative, and strategic guidance going forward at this extraordinary time. A business plan to address the impact and capital finance needs of the enlarged facility, increased operations and enhanced programming will be completed in December 2009 by Bain & Co., and will lead the way to the strategic planning process. Support for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of a strategic planning process will help SFMOMA develop a five-year plan as it builds on 75 years of growth and continues to strengthen its foundations to continue to serve a local, national and international audience in light of the facility expansion. The planning process will be divided into three phases that integrate the business plan and financing strategy developed by Bain & Co., with the architectural concept and phased building plans. The timeframe for the planning process is January 1 through September 30, 2010. Phase 1 will involve an internal and external assessment of the institution to include board, staff and stakeholder input, and Phase 2 will use the research generated in Phase 1 to identify critical issues and strategies to ensure the success of SFMOMA's vision, and will heavily involved board and staff and develop an action plan. (New, $40,000/1; 28% of project budget - Phase 1 and 2)
