Letter from the Chair

Dear friends,

The 2007–8 academic year is drawing to a close and, by all accounts, it has been filled with

numerous accomplishments and successes. I would like to draw your attention to just a few

highlights that are featured in this issue of Glance.

CCA’s yearlong centennial celebration culminated in October with the alumni reunion

weekend, which greatly surpassed our goals with double the expected attendance—nearly

600! Read more about it starting on page 30. Many thanks go out to the dynamic all-alumni

committee that orchestrated a host of receptions, workshops, and other events on both

campuses. Now that we’ve reconnected with so many of you, I hope you will keep us posted on

your activities and achievements. Instructions for submitting alumni and faculty notes appear

on page 47.

The Centennial Campaign (page 28) is also exceeding expectations. Thanks to the generosity

of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and other donors, we are closing in on our ambitious goal

of $27.5 million, which will provide critical funding for scholarships, facilities, and academic

programs. Numerous scholarship students are already benefiting from campaign funds, and a

few of their inspiring stories appear on page 16.

In this issue you will also read about the expansion of the Graduate Center (page 26) and

exciting new design studios sponsored by the French company PPR in which students have the

opportunity to work on projects for the international brands Gucci, Puma, and Redcats (page

29). Our students are also gaining valuable experience outside the studio, engaging with the

world through CCA’s first-ever study-abroad program in China (page 2) and the Sustainable

Cotton Project farm tour (page 6).

Interest in the college continues to be strong; applications for fall 2008 have increased

substantially from last year at this time. We are looking forward to launching our new MBA

in Design Strategy this fall. We have received tremendous response to the program and are

expecting very robust enrollment.

We are so pleased with the progress we have made this year toward improving the educational

experience CCA offers its students. Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Sincerely,

Ann Hatch

CCA in China by Kim Lessard

The group was granted special entrée into private openings at

art spaces both mainstream and off the beaten path. At the

China Academy of Art in Hangzhou they attended screenings

of student films and viewed new-media installation work,

and in Beijing they visited an NGO (nongovernmental orga-

nization) working on architectural preservation. They also,

of course, made time for major attractions such as the Great

Wall and the Forbidden City.

“One of my favorite experiences,” says MFA student Danielle

Colen, “was seeing Pauline Yao perform in a conceptual

art band called the Contractors at the Borderline Festival

for Moving Images in Beijing. They used music and images

to describe the close relationships in China among the art

market, real estate, and consumerism. It was amazing having

teachers who knew Beijing so well and were so involved with

local artists and curators and could help educate us about the

cultural and political issues operating both inside and outside

the art world.”

CCA’s first study-abroad program in China, an exciting

foray into a realm most tourists never get a chance to

see, took place in summer 2007 with an interdisciplin-

ary group of 13 undergraduate and grad students. It was

led by faculty member Pauline J. Yao and the Beijing-

based independent curator and critic Carol Yinghua

Lu. Their insider knowledge of cutting-edge artists and

architects working in China enabled the students to get

an intimate look at the dynamic, thriving art scenes in

Shanghai, Beijing, and beyond.

During the three-week trip, the group attended morning

lectures by a wide array of artists, curators, designers,

and architects working at the forefront of their respec-

tive fields. In the afternoons they visited museums,

galleries, studios, and architectural sites.

“We also gave the students individual field assignments

in Beijing and Shanghai,” said Yao. “The end results

were quite successful despite some initial fears about

going out alone in such large and unfamiliar places.”

[ 4 ]

One of the students’ most exciting encounters with the new

Chinese architecture was made possible through Yao’s connec-

tion with the office of the prominent architect Steven Holl.

They got an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the construc-

tion site of the Grand MOMA housing complex in Beijing, one

of very few such projects being designed and built both inside

and out—its interior design as well as its exterior and con-

struction—by an American architectural firm (most major

foreign building projects in China are commercial real estate

or Olympic venues).

Says Peter Hyer, an Architecture student: “With more than 80

percent of all the building in the world taking place in China,

2008), Samuel “Peaches” Maxwell (Painting/Drawing 2007), and

there is no country more volatile and exciting in architecture.

The sheer volume of the construction is both thrilling and

terrifying. The cities of the 21st century are being formed now;

they operate on a different scale and under different rules.”

Other summer 2007 CCA study-abroad programs took students

to the Netherlands, Argentina, Italy, Mexico, and Switzer-

land. “Study abroad is incredibly important and I highly

recommend it,” Hyer continues. “As artists, designers, and

practitioners we aim to engage the larger world through our

work. Since we can never be truly free of our own cultural,

social, economic, and physical perspectives, it makes this

kind of interaction even more valuable and productive.”

Home Grown:

Sustainable Cotton

Project Farm Tourby kim lessard

[ 7 ]

brings to mind images of whiteness and cleanliness—crisp bedsheets, or sterile

puffs in a clear glass jar. But it is actually one of the most toxic crops grown in the

United States.

Every year, Fashion Design faculty member Lynda Grose helps coordinate the

Sustainable Cotton Project (SCP) farm tour, taking CCA students and outside

professionals through California’s San Joaquin Valley. The idea is to expose them

to big-picture questions surrounding cotton cultivation and help them connect

these issues to their individual practices. This last October the tour was attended

by representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Gap, Horny

Toad, and the local San Francisco company Blue Marlin. Grose, a pioneer in the

sustainable fashion movement, is a consultant for the SCP and devotes much of her

time to advocacy and outreach, convincing clothing manufacturers to use more

sustainable and locally grown cotton in their products.

The first stop was an organic cotton farm—one of only two in the entire state—

in the small town of Firebaugh. After a short presentation on alternative pest

management, each participant received a small muslin bag of ladybugs. Minutes

later they were waist-deep in a field of cotton blooms, unleashing their bags of

natural aphid predators.

Despite its obvious earth-friendly appeal, making the transition to organic growing

is economically difficult for most American cotton farmers. They have to compete

with growers in China and India, where the hand labor required to weed and check

for bugs is much cheaper, and pesticides are so expensive that they have never come

to be relied upon to the degree they are here. The SCP helps farmers convert from

chemical to biological methods, which has great environmental benefits (in 2006,

almost six million pounds of chemicals were applied to cotton in California) as well

as health benefits (the San Joaquin Valley has the third-highest rate of asthma in

the nation as well as disproportionate cancer rates, largely due to all the chemicals

used in farming).

Cotton, a natural fiber,

Home Grown

[ 8 ]

Some SCP farmers are experimenting with varieties of colored

cotton. In the United States these are rare, highly regulated

crops that must be isolated from fields of white cotton to avoid

contamination (students were warned, even, not to take any

samples with them for fear they would accidentally disperse

the seeds). Right now the colored cotton fibers do not grow as

long as the white, but the benefits of experimenting to perfect

them could eventually be significant, since they eliminate

one of the most impactful steps in the textile manufacturing

process: dyeing. Grose utilized them in some of her early-

1990s Ecollection designs for Esprit.

At another farm, a harvest was under way. While the farmer

explained what was happening, massive harvesting machines

moved through the field, pouring and compressing the

crop into freight-car-size blocks called modules. Individual

workers moved among the machines, shoveling up stray

clumps that resembled fluffy snowdrifts. In a distant field, a

crop-duster airplane dipped and released a dramatic plume

of pesticides in what seemed like the final gesture of a grand,

synchronized performance.

After lunch the tour concluded with a visit to a local cotton

gin. Amid the deafening roar of the machinery, the group

walked through wall-to-wall stacks of 500-pound cotton bales.

Each bale can produce 750 men’s dress shirts, 240 women’s

dresses, 215 pairs of jeans, 4,321 socks, 690 bath towels, 230

bedsheets, 1,256 pillowcases, or 313,500 dollar bills.

Crystal Titus, one of the students on the tour, was awed by

the scale of it all: “Some of this information I knew already,

CCA students Zoe Shaw, Cydney Morris, and Lina Lavi spread the ladybug love

[ 9 ]

but actually seeing how large an acre or a bale is, right there

in front of you, is eye-opening. It’s important to understand

how and where the materials you’re using come from,

whether it’s fabric, wood, or technology. That knowledge can

only benefit you and your practice.”

Finding truly sustainable solutions for the fashion industry

requires a holistic awareness of everything from the

economics of raw commodities such as cotton to the cultural

values of consumers.

“Understanding end-user behavior and emotions is key,”

says Grose, who focuses not just on organic growing methods

but on the entire life cycle of the fashion industry. “Buying

vintage is one of the most sustainable things a person can do.

Even more than dropping off used clothes at thrift stores,

since that doesn’t change the way our culture manufactures

clothes or our attitudes about consuming them. Buying

vintage is a cyclical process, with a single garment used over

and over. We hope to inspire students to research all kinds of

new ideas for products and businesses that are cyclical rather

than linear—that have the potential to influence our culture

of consumption.”

Titus agrees: “The apparel industry is so focused on being

new and exciting and ever-changing because people get bored

with their clothes easily. I can understand that. But clothing

can be reused, and people need to open themselves up to

bearing some of the responsibility for recycling fabric waste.

The mindset of both the industry and the consumer is at odds

with sustainability, and that has to change.”

The 2007 Sustainable Cotton Project farm tour was made possible in part

by the California Initiative, a program generously funded by a CCA trustee

who wishes to remain anonymous. Grose received a grant for her class

that allowed CCA to cosponsor this year’s tour with the Gap and provided

funding for students to make the trip.

“It’s important to under-stand how and where the materials you’re using come from, whether it’s fabric, wood, or technology. That knowledge can only benefit you and your practice.”

What do you do when, despite the multitudes of floral and polka-dot options, you

just can’t find the right bedspread? If you’re an art-school grad, you design one

yourself, of course. That’s what Linda and Max Geiser did back in 1999 after they

bought their first house, two years out of CCA. From that little experiment with

pen, paper, and sewing machine, the 30-something couple has spun an entire busi-

ness that now produces pillows, bedding, wall decor, and mobiles with a subtle 1960s

retro flair.

Fold Bedding, as it used to be called—now Wallter, a play on “wall,” “texture,” and

the name of Max’s grandfather—is the perfect union of Linda’s sewing and illustra-

tion skills and Max’s modernist sensibilities and training in interior architecture.

“Growing up in San Jose in a Joseph Eichler tract home community,” says Max, “I’ve

been surrounded by clean lines and bold contours my entire life.”

Linda, the textiles whiz who creates every single bedspread, blanket, and pillow

on her own machine, produces a couple of items a day in their Richmond studio to

meet growing demand. “We’re all about tactility,” she observes. “The raised stitch-

ing on our bedspreads was what initially separated us from other companies. And

the paintable wall applications Max designs are three-dimensional, rather than flat.”

Texture is indeed a leitmotif for the Geisers, who met at CCA in Marilyn da Silva’s

3D course. “Up until that point I was strictly a drawing and painting gal, but that

course opened up a whole new world for me,” remembers Linda. Max agrees that

their CCA experience helped them make the crucial leap into the third dimension:

“Chris Deam helped me move from drawing to furniture.”

The couple knew they were onto something when a few of their test pillows, on

consignment in a boutique, sold the very first day. Soon thereafter, a magazine ad

for their bedspreads sparked a large order from a store in Los Angeles, and they’re

now selling to numerous boutique stores, interior designers, and the likes of Crate

and Barrel and Urban Outfitters. Their small business relies on local suppliers and,

where possible, ecofriendly materials, packaging, and manufacturing processes. In

2004 their wall appliqués won the best new product award at the New York Inter-

national Gift Fair. Their designs have appeared on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and

other TV shows.

Max and Linda’s most special joint effort, however, has been their two sons: Adam,

born in 2001, and Owen, born last May. “They come to the studio with us, so we

can’t be complete workaholics,” says Linda. Echoes Max, “When they’re ‘done,’ that

means we have to be done, too.”

As a grade-school tyke, Steven Miller made a different kind of bike-riding mission

than the other kids in his neighborhood. His goal was to find people who were

moving into nearby houses so he could help them arrange their furniture. “I was

the weird little kid people started calling on to make their homes look amazing,”

says Miller with a self-deprecating laugh.

The “freak child,” as he amusingly calls his young self, is now all grown up and

has his own interior design business, Steven Miller Design Studio, with locations

in San Francisco and New York. Many of his clients are still local—Bay Area ranch

owners, business executives, and private families—and Miller continues to dazzle

them with his exquisite sense of style, placement, and decor. Elegant without being

precious, his eclectic, layered, and even sometimes whimsical interiors have caught

the eye of the New York Times, Better Homes & Gardens, Travel + Leisure, and HGTV.

Miller grew up in a creative milieu: His father was an industrial engineer and in-

ventor, his great-grandmother was a fine artist, and his paternal grandparents were

furniture store owners on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue. He ran his own wallpapering

business in high school and went on to spend time at the University of Colorado and

Harrington Institute in Chicago, as well as the art supply companies Art Hardware

and Flax, until in 1989 he came to CCA “to be truly challenged as a creative person.”

Miller’s years at CCA provided him with a foundation that has carried him through

his career. He helped faculty member Vicki Doubleday augment the interiors slide

library by more than 1,500 images, “cementing what I learned from her in class.”

Heather Cogswell’s History of Industrial Design course also provided inspiration

and a solid foundation in design history that has informed his work ever since.

After graduation Miller launched a furniture line in collaboration with the distin-

guished designer Gary Hutton, whom he had met during a professional critique at

CCA. “Gary was a great mentor, always generous with his time and knowledge,” says

Miller. When Miller branched off on his own in 1999, he did so with Hutton’s bless-

ing—and even a client or two to get him started.

Today, Steven Miller Design Studio boasts six employees and five to 10 clients at

any given time. The recent opening of his New York office has given him entrée

with licensing agents who are taking his furniture designs national. “I’m very

proud of what I learned at CCA,” he says, “as well as my relationships with the

faculty, classmates, alums, and the students I’ve had as interns. It’s a great,

stimulating place.”

“I never thought I’d be a businessperson,” says Mike Yang, proud owner of the

Golden Gate Badminton Club. “I always thought I’d be a designer.” Growing up in

Taiwan he was deeply interested in architecture and design, inspired especially

by I. M. Pei. He was also quite a badminton player. So when he came to the United

States for college in 1999, he soon found himself juggling three careers: nation-

ally ranked badminton competitor, badminton coach at UC Berkeley, and full-time

Industrial Design student at CCA.

Balancing it all was quite a feat, but Yang has always thrived on having multiple

projects going at once. And his hard work paid off after he graduated, when the

parents of one of the Cal students he coached offered to help him start a badminton

club. He opened his first location in Menlo Park in 2005, and in 2007 he opened a

second one in Emeryville. Both are Olympic-standard facilities, hosting multiple na-

tional tournaments every year, with several full-time coaches on staff. In addition

to running the clubs, Yang also designs his own lines of equipment and apparel: six

different rackets, 10 clothing items, and a couple of birdie packages.

His unique résumé as a designer, athlete, and business owner recently attracted the

attention of a major American sports equipment and apparel manufacturer—one

that must remain nameless for now, but suffice to say that Yang is very excited about

the collaboration they are planning. “I’ve been to their headquarters a few times al-

ready, and I’m working with the best industrial designers in the world there. When

I was a student, that was my dream. Now I wish I’d studied harder in school!” he

laughs. “This project really makes me realize that every step of life matters.”

He looks back with great fondness on his years at CCA. “In my first year of college,

my English was bad, I was very shy, I couldn’t talk to people or understand them.

All the presentations we had to do in class forced me to be more outgoing and to

learn to handle criticism. They improved my language skills and prepared me for

dealing with the public as a business owner. The Industrial Design teachers were

great, with great minds not only for design, but also for business. All the discus-

sions about products, end users, research, target markets—those kinds of business

concepts have helped me in so many ways.”

Through the Centennial Campaign, CCA alumni, parents,

and friends have already donated more than $5 million to

student scholarships. (This ongoing campaign also supports

facility enhancements and new programs.) Fifteen new

endowed scholarships have been created with gifts ranging

from $25,000 to $1 million, and more than 400 donors have

given to pooled scholarship funds, which unite the generosity

of many to create scholarship awards for gifted students.

The pooled Alumni Heritage Scholarship fund has particu-

larly benefited, as hundreds of alumni have donated to honor

faculty and other mentors.

Centennial Campaign Raises Critical Funds for Scholarships

The growth in CCA’s student population (51 percent over the

last eight years) means increased numbers of deserving and

talented students needing financial aid to earn their degrees

and pursue their dreams. Each gift has an immediate impact.

CCA needs your help to ensure that all students who qualify

for aid receive it. To make a gift or to learn more about

scholarships at CCA, please contact Camille Gerstel, individual

giving director, at 510.594.3787 or cgerstel@cca.edu. You

may also donate using the gift envelope enclosed in this

Jon Tracy Painting/Drawing, Richard K. Price Scholarship

Jon chose to attend CCA because of its top-notch faculty and supportive academic

environment. Citing Jack Mendenhall as particularly influential, he says that

“the professors are what make CCA for me. They are all experts. I don’t know

any other school with a lineup like this in both design and fine arts.” Jon works

primarily with oil on canvas, contemporizing the figurative style. He believes that

art making is a responsibility that demands a strong work ethic. Art Education

alumnus Richard K. Price established this scholarship to support young artists like

Jon who continue the commitment to art that mattered so much to him. Jon says

that without scholarships and grants, CCA wouldn’t have been an option for him.

“A little goes a long way. The less I have to worry about finances, the more I can

think about my work.”

Juan Leguizamon Graphic Design, OgilvyOne Scholarship

“There’s so much I love about CCA, especially the sense of community. You develop

close relationships with your classmates and teachers. It’s about collaboration, not

competition.” Juan finds the college to be unique in every way: “You learn skills,

but you also learn to think. Faculty and other students really support you and help

you get your work out there.” The OgilvyOne Scholarship was created in 2005 by the

renowned advertising and design firm to strengthen the field by educating writers

and graphic designers. Juan is currently interning at Razorfish, where he plans to

work after graduation. “When I first got a scholarship, I went to dinner and met

the person who gave the money for it. I was living in practically a closet then, and

it meant a lot for someone to acknowledge that students have a hard time. This is a

special place, and the feeling that people are looking after you, caring that you are

part of the CCA community, means so much.”

Jeffrey yee Fashion Design, Design Scholarship

Jeffrey came from New York to attend CCA because of the school’s atmosphere.

“I feel a connection among the students that is both intimate and supportive. I like

how the different disciplines interact and inspire each other. CCA sets a standard for

quality in arts education. I’m proud to be a part of it.” After graduation he plans to

work in the fashion industry until he is able to start his own business and take his

work abroad. The Design Scholarship enabled him to attend CCA. “There are so many

bright people out there who do not have the ability to pay for school on their own.

Your contribution gives them the chance to bring their talents to the outside world.”

michaeL BraiThwaiTe Visual Studies, Humanities Scholarship

Michael explores cultural and social theory in her work, and she enjoys the wide

variety of courses offered at CCA. After graduation she plans to pursue a master’s

degree in cultural production and, eventually, a doctorate in religion, gender, and

culture. Receiving the Humanities Scholarship made her CCA education possible.

To donors she says: “Thank you so much. Scholarships are an extremely important

factor in funding a private higher education. Not all students come from a

background where their families are able to pay for their educational expenses.”

meLissa spooner Master of Architecture, Bernard Osher Foundation Scholarship

Melissa received a BFA from California Institute of the Arts in the field of dance,

which led to her current focus on the movement of the body through space. She

chose to pursue an advanced architecture degree at CCA because of the college’s

interdisciplinary approach. “CCA has a fantastic working faculty, very in touch with

what is currently happening in the world outside academia,” she says. She also

appreciates the school’s vibrant, artful atmosphere. “I love walking through the

Nave every day and seeing all of the student works in painting, illustration, furni-

ture, graphic design, fashion. It’s a continual source of inspiration.” Of scholar-

ships, she says, “Given my undergraduate debt, grad school was not a decision I

made lightly. This scholarship allows me to focus on school and is a great, amazing

gift. Generous donors tilt the scale, making it possible for people to practice art.”

cacy Duncan Writing and Literature, Collegewide Scholarship

Before CCA, Cacy attended Carnegie Mellon University and Pratt Institute, where

she studied creative writing and explored costume design, theater, and visual art.

“I knew I wanted a writing program at an art school, where creative writing would

be treated as its own discipline rather than simply an elective in the English

department.” She appreciates that the Collegewide Scholarship is enabling her

to graduate with a reduced burden of student loan debt. “My work has definitely

found direction since I came to CCA,” she continues. “I now know that I want to

create graphic novels and work in animation.”

(Photography 1989), and Hank Willis Thomas (MFA 2003, MA

Issue #68 of Surface magazine (published this past

November) featured student thesis projects from various

design schools in a “best-of” section of its annual Avant

Guardian issue, and CCA had more student work selected

than any other school. The featured students were Kerry

Bogus (Interior Design 2008), Matthew Gale (Industrial

Design 2006), Iran Narges (Graphic Design 2007), and

Christina Richards (Architecture 2007). The same issue also

included a two-page spread of photographs featuring

fashion designs by Christopher Weiss (Fashion Design 2007),

who won the Surface Emerging Talent Award at CCA’s 2007

centennial gala. The 2007 Graphis New Talent Design Annual

also featured projects by several CCA Graphic Design

students: Clara Daguin, Trevor Hacker, Austin Hamby, JP Kelly, Grant

Loving, Portia Monberg, Sarah Pulver, Sam Wick, and Igor Zhoglo.

Four of the 2008–10 recipients of the Eureka Fellowship,

the largest cash prize ($25,000) for individual artists in

the Bay Area, are CCA faculty or alums: Kota Ezawa (Media

Arts faculty), David Huffman (Painting/Drawing faculty,

MFA 1998), Kate Pocrass (MFA 2001), and Leslie Shows (MFA

2006). Sponsored by the Fleishhacker Foundation, these

awards are designed to help artists continue making work

by supporting more uninterrupted creative time.

Crow Cianciola, a graduate student in Fine Arts, was recently

named one of 34 Jack Cooke Foundation scholarship

winners (out of nearly 1,000 nominees). These scholarships

cover tuition, room, board, fees, and books—up to $50,000

annually—for up to six years and are among the most

generous academic awards offered in the United States.[ 18 ]

New Facilities Enhance Graduate Student Life

Building Three is entirely new and utilizes a preengineered

steel system, like many of the industrial warehouses in

the neighborhood. Because it was made from a kit, its

construction generated very little material waste. It sits on 78

concrete piles, each 40 feet long, driven into the sandy soil.

Even the cut-off ends of the piles weren’t wasted, since CCA

trustee Steven Oliver suggested using them as benches in the

courtyard. Building Three also has the college’s first gender-

neutral bathrooms—the result of student activism on that

topic. A 25-foot-long digital signboard spans the entrance and

announces school events, exhibitions, and lectures.

The MFA Program in Writing has also recently acquired a

building, just one block away. It includes a beautiful walled

Japanese garden and two apartments that will house visiting

artists and faculty.

The new Graduate Center on CCA’s San Francisco campus,

a massive undertaking begun in 2003, is nearly complete.

All of the graduate Fine Arts studios are finally now housed

together in this new complex of buildings, along with

technology resources, faculty and program offices, classrooms

and seminar spaces, and areas for students and faculty from

all graduate programs to work and socialize.

The center’s Building One, designed by Jensen & Macy

Architects, has already been recognized for design excellence

by both the American Institute of Architects California

Council and the AIA’s San Francisco chapter. It was featured

in the August 2004 issue of Architectural Record magazine as one

of the five best new campus buildings in the United States.

The renovated, wood-framed Building One is connected to the

renovated, steel-framed Building Two by an outdoor atrium.

The Wattis Institute’s major fall exhibition,

The Wizard of Oz, takes L. Frank Baum’s classic

children’s novel as its starting point. The

international roster of featured artists in-

cludes Lothar Hempel, Carsten Höller, Evan

Holloway, Marepe, and Clare Rojas; working

across multiple media, each will conceive a

new piece in response to the story. The exhi-

bition will explore Dorothy’s journey from a

modern perspective, investigating not only

the relationship between art and literature,

but also the cultural fabric, history, and

current realities of the United States.

This is the second exhibition by curator Jens

Hoffmann to utilize a work of literature

in this way (he presented Around the World

in Eighty Days in 2006 at the South London

Gallery and the Institute of Contemporary

Arts in London). Published in 1900, The

Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been interpreted

Lead sponsorship for The Wizard of Oz is provided by the Andy

Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

Founding support for CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary

Arts programs has been provided by Phyllis C. Wattis and Judy

and Bill Timken. Generous support provided by the Phyllis C.

Fund, Ann Hatch and Paul Discoe, and the CCA Curator’s Forum.

over the decades as both a timeless American

fairy tale and a historically specific socio-

political allegory, and many aspects of the

story continue to resonate with the way we

approach and experience the world today.

From a life of hardship in rural Kansas,

Dorothy is swept away to a colorful land

of unlimited resources. The cyclone that

transports her, many critics suggest, may

represent the political and social revolutions

erupting in turn-of-the-century America, the

Tin Woodman a dehumanized worker of the

industrial revolution, and the Wicked Witch

of the West an evil landowner.

Advancement Update

This has been a great year for CCA, thanks in large part

to its generous supporters. Even as we were engaged in a

search for our next president, the college received tremen-

dous support from new donors as well as longtime friends.

CenTennIAL CAMPAIGn UPDATe

With the thoughtful support of alumni, parents, faculty,

staff, and friends, the Centennial Campaign continues to

bring in critical funding for endowed scholarships, ex-

panded facilities, and new academic programs. We’ve got

less than $1 million left to raise toward our Centennial

Campaign goal of $27.5 million. Two major challenge

grants are inspiring donors to give:

First, CCA trustee Barclay Simpson pledged $1.85 million to

the campaign if CCA could raise $3.7 million in new gifts.

So far, this challenge has inspired more than $2.7 million

in matching gifts.

Second, we are pleased to report that CCA fulfilled

the Savin Foundation challenge match. In July 2007 the

Savin Foundation promised $500,000 to the Centennial

Campaign if CCA could secure 500 new campaign donors,

each giving at least $50. The college had one year to

achieve that goal, but thanks to the exceptional generos-

ity of the CCA community, we met it in just six months.

We extend warm thanks to the 310 alumni, 130 friends,

and 60 faculty and staff who became first-time donors to

the Centennial Campaign in response to this special chal-

lenge grant, giving a total of $632,000. The foundation’s

$500,000 grant will create the Reuben and Muriel Savin

Foundation Scholarship endowment to support deserving

students working in Community Arts.

AnnUAL FUnD AnD CORe OPeRATIOnS GIFTS

CCA’s wonderful donors have been very understanding

about the need to continue giving to the Annual Fund and

other core academic and community outreach activities

even while additional gifts were being requested for the

Centennial Campaign. Annual Fund donations keep the

college’s day-to-day operations healthy.

In this issue of Glance you will find our annual Honor

Roll of Donors for 2007. (It does not include donors to the

Centennial Campaign; that list will appear separately

at the conclusion of the campaign.) The CCA Center for

Art and Public Life received awards of $200,000 from

the Skirball Foundation, $100,000 from the Nathan Cummings

Foundation, $75,000 from the United Way of the Bay Area,

$68,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts, $40,000

from the Clarence Heller Charitable Foundation, and $35,000 from

the Columbia Foundation.

The CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts received

$70,000 from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts,

$20,000 from the American Center Foundation, and $20,000 from

the Nimoy Foundation. Grants for the Arts / San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund

awarded CCA $64,000 for all of its public programming in

San Francisco, including Wattis Institute programming.

Many generous donors supported core academic programs

through gifts to sponsor studios. Frances Bowes made a

gift of $25,000 to create the Bowes Collection Sponsored

Studio, and Bevara Design House granted $25,000 to sponsor

a furniture design studio. Donors also gave to financial

aid funds that are paid out in full (as opposed to endowed

funds). These annual-fund scholarship donors included

Steven Volpe and Roth Martin, who created the Hedge Gallery

Steven Volpe Design Scholarship with a gift of $50,000;

LEF Foundation, which gave $25,000 to award three LEF

Scholarships; the Toby Fund, giving $22,000 for the Toby

Devon Lewis Fellowship; and the Richard and Jean Coyne Family

Foundation, with $20,000 for the Richard and Jean Coyne

Family Foundation Illustration Scholarship.

The Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation granted $25,000

to help defray administrative costs for the presidential

search process.

PPR SPOnSORS DeSIGn STUDIOS

The French worldwide group PPR is sponsoring a series of

design studios at CCA during the 2007–8 academic year.

Students in the Architecture, Industrial Design, and

Graduate Design programs are examining a variety of

design issues while working with representatives from

three PPR brands: Gucci, Puma, and Redcats.

Matt Marcus and Yves Béhar

Ryan Duke of CCA’s Industrial Design Program presents to Yves Béhar, chair of Industrial Design

Industrial Design student Jessica Majers and Matt Marcus of Gucci

The partnership enriches the college’s design curriculum

considerably and provides students with unique oppor-

tunities to interact with top international professionals.

Sponsored studio courses give students the opportunity to

conceptualize design within the context of a particular

brand. They also give the retail, manufacturing, and

design industries access to the fresh perspectives of next-

generation designers.

[ 30 ]

On October 12–14 this past fall, CCA welcomed alumni,

faculty, and friends of the college to its weekend-long

100th birthday celebration. Graduates from as far back as

the class of 1942 and as far away as India came to honor

the institution that Frederick Meyer founded in 1907 as

the School of the California Guild of Arts and Crafts. A

dedicated team of 21 alumni volunteers headed by Douglas

Sandberg (Film 1978) worked with Director of Alumni

Relations Jessica Russell and numerous other CCA staff for

more than a year to plan the weekend.

In written proclamations, San Francisco Mayor Gavin

Newsom and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums made it officially

“California College of the Arts Centennial Celebration Day”

in San Francisco on October 12, 2007, and in Oakland on

October 13, 2007.

FRIDAY nIGHT

The weekend of festivities kicked off on the San Francisco

campus with the dazzling avant-garde acrobatic theatrics

of Gregangelo and Velocity Circus (founded by Gregangelo

Herrera [Individualized Major 1989]).

CCA Centennial Alumni Reunion Weekend

SATURDAY AFTeRnOOn

Old friends reconnected on Saturday on the Oakland cam-

pus, touring the studio facilities, witnessing glassblowing

demonstrations, and enthusiastically participating in

the monotype printmaking marathon. Live electric blues

entertainment during the BBQ lunch was provided by the

Oakland-based Delta Wires (founded at CCA in the 1970s

by Ernie Pinata [Painting 1971, MFA 1974]). Dessert was

served from the lively Tactical Ice Cream Unit, a working

ice cream truck and interactive space for art and activism

created by the Center for Tactical Magic (cofounded by

Aaron Gach [MFA 2002]). Along with free ice cream,

participants had their choice of free propaganda on such

topics as alternative economic systems or the mass media.

“I think alumni left the week-end feeling proud of their college and their individual roles in its success. With plenty of time to share stories with one another, a great feeling of fellowship and communion built up over the weekend. You could feel it . . . and see it!”—Douglas Sandberg (Film 1978), alumni reunion

Three past presidents of the college—Neil Hoffman

(1985–93), Lorne Buchman (1994–99), and Michael Roth

(2000–2007)—spoke about their years here and the most

memorable moments of their presidencies. A wine tasting

was generously hosted by Muscardini Cellars (with

alumni Michael and Robyn Muscardini [Printmaking

1972 and Textiles 1973]), Charles Creek Vineyard (with CCA

parents Bill and Gerry Brinton), and William Knuttel

Winery (with CCA parent William Knuttel).

SATURDAY eVenInG

The Oakland Museum of California hosted hundreds

of guests, including the artists Ralph Borge, Eleanor

The celebration continued at CCA’s San Francisco campus

with tours, open studios, and panel discussions on such top-

ics as “Reconceiving Craft,” “Art Education and Community

and dessert send-off made an excellent final note to a highly

successful weekend full of old friends and good memories.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you for the wonderful centennial weekend and all you did to make it so special for us. It truly showed the school in all its glory.”—Susan Stanley (1965)

“I was amazed and delighted to see how the school has grown, especially since I graduated 35 years ago. I’m happy to be able to support the school’s efforts in a small way, with regular modest donations, and I hope to do more in the future. Thanks again for a memorable weekend!”—Cecily Burke (Graphic Design 1972)

line and sentiment of Sappho, matri-

the page. The words and the ink that

digs them into paper glaze darkness

and make light of the weight of

suffering loss.”

“Have you ever saved a rejection

letter and filed it away as if it were

something precious? Since the early

1980s I have saved my rejection

letters and responded to them with

cathartic artwork. The results are

often humorous, ironic, and cynical.

The ability to stay upright once

rejection hits marks the longevity

of a career in art.” —Arthur González

tions embedded in those layers.
