A Year of Transformation - CIA

A Year of Transformation

Cleveland Institute of ArtAnnual Report 2014–2015

After years of dreaming, planning, designing, engineering, re-engineering, and fund-raising, CIA unified its campus during the 2014–2015 fiscal year. The result is nothing short of a transformation for our college.

I see evidence of this transformation every day.

I see new enthusiasm in the eyes of prospective students entering our American Greetings Welcome Center. I see current students looking so at home working in new studio spaces and gathering in the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Atrium and the Mary Ann and Jack Katzenmeyer Student Lounge (as though these spaces had always been there!). I see community members enjoying our new Toby Lewis Media Mesh, Reinberger Gallery, Fran and Jules Belkin Media Gallery, Ann and Norman Roulet Student and Alumni Gallery, and beautiful new Peter B. Lewis Theater. And I regularly see alumni walking through our campus complex beaming with pride.

The major events of 2014–2015 finalized this transformation (see pages 2 and 3 for details). My sincere thanks go to the faculty and staff members who worked so hard to enable a smooth transition to our unified campus.

Amidst all this activity, our students and faculty achieved much during 2014–15. Highlights of the year’s accomplishments are featured on pages 6 and 7.

After combined terms of service of 73 years, beloved professors Dominic Scibilia ’72 and Judith Salomon retired at the end of the academic year. You may read heartfelt tributes to both of these artists/educators on our website at cia.edu/judithsalomon and cia.edu/scibilia.

CIA owes a debt of gratitude to Robert Borden, who served as vice president of enrollment and financial aid for five years until leaving in August for a career opportunity near his family on the west coast. Bob made tremendous strides in professionalizing our admissions functions.

The 2014–15 fiscal year was also the final year of Michael Schwartz’s term as chair of CIA’s Board of Directors. With wisdom and insight, he led the college through this major transformation. I am delighted that he remains an active board member, and I welcome his successor, long-time board member William Valerian, who took office in October 2015.

We mourn the passing this year of CIA board members Paul Brentlinger and Victor Goldberg and director emeritus Harold Douthit. They and our other generous donors are gratefully acknowledged in the pages of this report. With their encouragement, assistance, and faith in our mission, what we have built in this year of transformation is not simply a new building, but a new future for CIA.

Sincerely,

Grafton J. NunesPresident and CEO

Dear Friends,

A Year of Transformation / 2014–2015

1

Never doubt the power of a mission-focused college to transform itself and its neighborhood. In my career in higher education, I have had the privilege of working on campus trans-formation on a large and a not-so-large scale. The challenges are many; but with good leadership, effective communication, and solid donor support, the rewards can be great.

CIA is reaping such rewards right now. Our efforts to renovate the Joseph McCullough Building, secure the appealing new Uptown Residence Hall and the Euclid 115 student apartments, and construct the new George Gund Building have been transformational for the college community and the Uptown neighborhood.

When my three-year term as board chair ended in October 2015, I was able to step down knowing the college is on a good footing and its best days are ahead.

I look forward to more stories of student and faculty achievement, alumni and friend support, enrollment growth, and community engagement with the mission of this tenacious and fascinating college of art and design.

On a frosty day in December 2014, 13 months after they started, Panzica Construction Company workers finished major construction of Cleveland Institute of Art’s new, 80,000-square-foot George Gund Building, adjoined to its renovated Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts.

Over the next few months, as crews finalized details throughout the new building, non-academic offices gradually moved out of CIA’s original George Gund Building on East Boulevard and into new spaces in the complex.

In May, nearly 200 generous CIA donors gathered at CIA for First Light, where they enjoyed a sneak peek at the new building, saw the unveiling of the new “Freedom” sculpture donated by artist Gordon Gund, and celebrated the first digital installation on CIA’s new Toby Lewis Media Mesh (see cover image). Digital artist Thu Tran ’05 had created a visual feast that played well on the 35-foot by 50-foot stainless steel mesh.

Days later, when the academic year had ended, faculty, staff and movers began a busy summer of moving the remaining academic departments (Foundation, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, and Jewelry + Metals), as well as the Cinematheque and all 50,000 items in the library out of the East Boulevard building and into the new complex on Euclid Avenue.

“For the first time in almost 40 years, all CIA students will be learning together, on one campus, in new and renovated facili-ties that are unparalleled,” CIA President Grafton Nunes said in summer 2015. (When classes resumed in late August 2015, a few weeks beyond the period covered by this Annual Report, the college was indeed unified.)

“CIA has created one of the nation’s finest campuses for learning about, making, and exhibiting art and design,” Nunes told supporters last summer. “The complex was designed to ensure that students of diverse majors would see one another’s work and inspire one another. And our public spaces are more welcoming than ever.”

Schreckengost AwardNamed for the late artist, industrial designer, and 1929 graduate, the Viktor Schreckengost Teaching Award is presented annually to current or former faculty members in recognition of teaching excellence at CIA over a period of at least 10 years.

This year’s award went to Professor Matthew Hollern, an accomplished jewelry and metals artist and designer. Hollern recently completed his 26th year of teaching at the college, where he incorporates the traditions of craft with new studio technologies, including 3D printing and novel materials.

“Matthew has influenced and shaped the lives of many successful artists over the years,” said Christopher Whittey, vice president of faculty affairs and chief academic officer. “He has truly dedicated his life to passing along his incredible talent to his students.”

At CIA, Hollern established an annual, student-led runway show to encourage students from all majors to create and display new concepts in accessories, design, and conceptual wearable art. His own work is included in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Vatican Archive, and Design Museum Helsinki - Finland, among many other public and private collections.

Hollern attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he majored in both art and French. He spent his junior year in Aix-en-Provence in the south of France, where he also studied blacksmithing. He went on to earn an MFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, where he was introduced to computer-aided design and manufacturing, sparking a life-long passion.

Award for ServicePresident Nunes presented CIA’s Award for Service to long-serving board leader Gary R. Johnson. The award recognizes those who have made significant contributions to the arts through their exceptional service or philanthropy.

Johnson, who lived in Northeast Ohio for more than 30 years before his recent relocation to Chicago, is a successful technology entrepreneur who has balanced his business life with significant community commitments. He was elected to the CIA board in 1992 and immediately became chair of the finance committee, a member of the executive committee, and vice chair of the board. In 2005 he was elected chair and served in that capacity for more than seven years. In 2012 he received the honorary title director emeritus.

During Johnson’s tenure as board chair, CIA converted to a four-year undergraduate curriculum and launched the campus unification project. He was active in two presi-dential searches, chairing the committee that brought Nunes to CIA.

“Gary played a crucial role in shepherding huge transitions at CIA,” said Nunes. “We owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for his dedication and leadership.”

Award for Artistic AchievementCIA’s Award for Artistic Achievement honors individuals with strong connections to the college who have made a significant contribution to the visual arts locally, nationally, or internationally by producing a substantial and noteworthy body of work.

Accomplished ceramicist and Professor Judith Salomon received the award at CIA’s 2014 Charles E. Burchfield ’16 Society dinner. Salomon, who retired at the end of spring semester 2015, had taught in CIA’s Ceramics Department since shortly after earning an MFA in 1977 from The New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred University. Prior to that, she earned a BFA at the School for American Craftsmen, Rochester Institute of Technology.

Her ceramic artwork is in numerous public collections, including London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, Taipei’s National Museum of History, and the Los Angeles County Art Museum. Salomon has received a National Endowment for the Arts grant, two Ohio Arts Council artist fellowships, a Cleveland Arts Prize, CIA’s Victor Schreckengost Teaching Award, and CIA’s Joseph Motto Chair.

“Judith certainly fits the criteria for this award,” said CIA President Grafton J. Nunes. “The quality of her work has been affirmed by high-profile collectors and she has advanced her field by lecturing across the country and in Japan and through her inclusion in nearly 30 books and journal articles.”

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STUDENT IS AMONG TOP FIVE IN U.S. Industrial

Design major Geemay Chia (below) was one of five college students in the U.S.

recognized by the prestigious Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA)

with a Student Merit Award. She is the fifth CIA student in the last decade to

receive the Student Merit Award. Chia also won second prize in the International

Housewares Association’s student design competition for her hybrid walker,

folding seat, and caddy designed for people with limited physical abilities.

For that prize she competed against 245 entries by students from 34 colleges.

GRANT FUNDS INTERNSHIPS FOR VISUAL ARTS STUDENTS Thanks

to a grant from the Fenn Educational Fund of the Cleveland Foundation,

and some smart thinking by faculty and staff members, CIA facilitated

Creativity Works, a program of self-initiated internship experiences for

students looking forward to careers as visual artists. Five students lined

up host community organizations, wrote proposals and budgets that

were reviewed and accepted by faculty and staff, and pursued a variety

of public art projects, ranging from an exhibition of portraits of homeless

shelter residents, to a commissioned fabric mural (above) for a museum.

The Fenn Fund renewed the grant and the program continues this year.

WOODROW WILSON VISITING FELLOW SPENDS A WEEK AT CIA

As part of a yearlong series on socially engaged art, renowned international

development specialist Stephen Vetter spent a week at CIA as a Woodrow Wilson

Visiting Fellow in October 2014. He gave lectures, participated in a civic dialog,

appeared on “The Sound of Ideas” on 90.3 WCPN, and (above at right) partici-

pated in a live interview with CIA President Grafton Nunes (left) at The City Club

of Cleveland. At center is City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop. The Woodrow Wilson

Visiting Fellows program is administered by the Council of Independent Colleges

in Washington, D.C.

CONFERENCE DREW THINKERS FROM 11 COUNTRIES More than 225 scholars,

curators, artists, designers and students from 11 countries and 17 states con-

verged on CIA in November 2014 for an international conference on socially

engaged art and design. Through 38 different presentations by 52 presenters —

and in countless spin-off conversations — they examined approaches to social

practices in both art and design. University of California, Berkeley Professor

Shannon Jackson gave the keynote address and Portland State University

Assistant Professor Jen Delos Reyes, right, served as special respondent at the

closing of the conference.

What makes a great car designer? A passion for the industry and drawing chops, for sure. But industry leaders say there’s some-thing else, too: a strong foundation — the kind that students get at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

CIA’s reputation for turning out talented transportation design graduates is supported in part by longstanding relationships between the college’s Industrial Design program and auto industry leaders. For years, car companies have sent their own designers to Cleveland to teach classes on weekends. They also sponsor projects that give students experience solving real-world problems.

This year, the college took another leap forward by hiring Haishan Deng as the first CIA faculty member devoted to transportation design. Deng previously taught at the School of Industrial Design at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in China.

The move was spurred in part by CIA board member Joseph Dehner ’88, head of RAM and Mopar Design at FCA US LLC. The company has a long history of sending staff to teach those Saturday classes, but Dehner believed the college needed a full-time auto-design faculty member.

Industrial Design Chair Dan Cuffaro “was all ears,” Dehner said. “He took it to the front office, and … they started a worldwide search.”

Eric Stoddard ’98, design manager at Ford Motor Co., also has been an instructor and adviser at CIA. Those Saturday classes led by industry veterans were good, he said, but “it was really up to the students during the week to find their own way. Having someone on the ground is hugely important.”

In industry-responsive move, CIA hired full-time transportation design faculty memberHaishan Deng is an award-winning designer of products and automobilesBy Karen Sandstrom ’12

CIA made a smart choice with Deng, Stoddard said. Deng gives the school an important window into the Chinese car market, “the hottest growing segment of the car industry,” Stoddard said. “It’s the future of the car industry.”

He points out that Deng hasn’t been just a car designer. His experience designing more than 50 products gives Deng an important advantage. “He has a very open mind and conceptual [perspective],” Stoddard said.

And that gets back to the strong foundation that Stoddard and Dehner agree is where CIA’s advantage lies. A number of U.S. schools have good automotive design departments, Dehner said, but “they have very specialized curriculums that have you focus totally on auto design.”

He’s a fan of what the Cleveland Institute of Art’s fine art tradi-tion and wide-ranging industrial design department do for the mind of the young auto designer. “As the students’ careers mature, they get a nice balance of interior design, product design — all the things that go into making a great designer,” Dehner said. “As a result, they have a better, more balanced portfolio, and their problem-solving skills become better. They’re not getting a 24/7, constant diet of cars, cars, cars, cars, which can lead a designer to be very close-minded.”

As the smallest of the Detroit-based car manufacturers, FCA has fewer opportunities to hire new talent. Up until this year, it hadn’t hired a CIA grad since 2009, Dehner said, though CIA students have enjoyed internships.

In spring of 2015, CIA graduated six auto design students. All six found jobs; Chrysler hired Jenn Baugher, whose senior thesis project was to design a lightweight, entry-level sports car.

CIA’s fine arts-based program seems to

encourage a more well-rounded, “complete”

designer, Stoddard said. “They really do a

great job thinking outside the box. They’re

not just doing hot sketches, they’re really

thinking through problems.”


a great job thinking outside the box. They’re not just doing hot sketches, they’re really thinking through problems.”

Heidi Bliss, Creative Talent Recruiter at General Motors, which currently employees 32 CIA alumni, concurs. “CIA alumni are known for their tenacity when it comes to solving problems,” she says. “They take the lessons they’ve learned from the product design world about how to focus and define consumer-centric problems, then they use their foundational skills in drawing and ideation to work it through. It is what sets them apart.”

Dehner also noted that design colleges often lack in-school studio space, which means students do much of their work in isolation. CIA’s studios encourage student-to-student collabo-ration, which makes for good teamwork training.

All in all, Dehner believes that transportation design students at CIA have never been better situated for success. The new unified campus location in Cleveland’s Uptown neighborhood, a college president who embraces change, and a new faculty member dedicated to car design make their CIA years unlike any that have come before.

“I mentioned this to the students,” Dehner said. “I said, ‘You are in a special place right now. This is a special time.’”

Associate Professor Haishan Deng, at right, was hired in the summer of 2014 as CIA’s first faculty member devoted to transportation design.

Here he reviews a car model by Matt Braun ’15.

Baugher joins an industry that Dehner says has changed its attitude toward designers.

“Back when I graduated, it was expected that you played a support role in whatever was coming out of that studio,” he said. “So a younger designer would be doing detail support that was not (their) design but somebody else’s.

“Today, it’s so much different. When designers come out of the school today, they are contributing,” Dehner said. “May the best sketch win, and if it happens to be somebody right out of school who does the best sketch for a multi-billion-dollar program, we’ll do everything in our power to support that designer and make sure they succeed. The trajectory is much like a rocket. It’s vertical.”

To succeed in that environment, however, the designer needs multiple advantages. As a member of Ford’s recruitment team, Stoddard interviews candidates and makes recommendations. The first quality he looks for is innate talent and sense of design.

“As we go through the interview process, we get to know them as a person,” Stoddard says. “Are they good at speaking? What’s their confidence level? What’s their work ethic like?”

CIA’s fine arts-based program seems to encourage a more well-rounded, “complete” designer, Stoddard said. “They really do

Paul Brentlinger left a legacy of dedication to CIAFormer board member served from 1986 until 2005; had special fondness for CIA’s artists and administrators

By Karen Sandstrom ’12

Paul Brentlinger spent his career in business and finance, but his love for arts and culture was far more than a side note. The former Cleveland Institute of Art board chairman (1992–1998) was all in when it came to offering his time and resources.

“He was very honest, and he took respon-sibility very seriously,” said son David of San Francisco. “He didn’t really like atten-tion, but he liked to see things happen.”

Brentlinger was 87 when he died Dec. 22, 2014. A planned gift to CIA is part of the legacy he leaves to the place he loved with a distinctive dedication.

“Although he was involved with a number of cultural institutions, including the Cleveland Play House, the Great Lakes Theater Festival, and Case Western Reserve University, he had a special fondness for CIA,” said daughter Paula Brentlinger of Seattle. “He really liked the people — the artists and administrators.”

Paula remembers driving with her dad near University Circle a few winters ago when their car hit a bad pothole and damaged a couple of tires. He kept telling her they just had to make it to CIA, and there they’d find help. It was like home to him, she said. “He was so attached to the place.” He marveled at CIA’s encour-agement of everything from portraiture to medical illustration.

Brentlinger was born in Dayton in 1927. He served in the Army before finishing business and liberal arts studies at the University of Michigan, where he was an honors student and an editor of the Michigan Daily. He and wife Marilyn raised their children —Paula, David and Sara Walters — in Lakewood, Ohio.

He spent much of his career at Morgenthaler Ventures, a venture capital firm. But it was at Harris-Intertype Corp. in the 1950s that Brentlinger met Viktor Schreckengost, the artist, designer and longtime CIA professor. Harris, then a manufacturer of print-ing presses and typesetting equipment, hired Schreckengost to make its presses both more beautiful and more ergonomic.

Whether Schreckengost was Brentlinger’s first connection to the institute isn’t clear, but the two became friends. And early on, Brentlinger and his wife, Marilyn, began a lifetime of collecting art for the love of it. They took an interest in local artists and shopped

the Cleveland Museum of Art May Show for new pieces for their home; work by CIA faculty members formed part of their collection.

Brentlinger joined the CIA Board of Directors in 1986, and was there until 2005. In his speeches to graduating students, he con-sistently celebrated both their accomplishments as artists and the fact that they did not have to choose between art and bread on the table — because their education at CIA allowed them to be both artists and breadwinners. The institute recently dedi-cated the Brentlinger Conference Room in his honor.

CIA President and CEO Grafton J. Nunes credits Brentlinger with “a deep love of this institution, an extensive knowledge of busi-ness and investment practice, and an infectious graciousness that was completely delightful. He touched everyone who knew him with his intelligence and his charm. He was a role model for me, and one of the rocks upon which I built my presidency. I miss him deeply.”

Photography + Video major Akeem Pennicooke ’15 served a videography internship at the Great Lakes

Science Center (above). His BFA took a different turn: he produced and directed a short documentary about

footwork, a style of street music and dance that originated in Chicago in the 1990s and has had a recent

resurgence. His film went viral and caught the attention of Factmag.com, a British pop-culture website,

which featured an article about Pennicooke and his project.

It is the policy of CIA to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all applicants, candidates, employees, and faculty. We do not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, race, color, religion, national origin, age, mental or physical disability if basic job qualifications are met, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Thank You and WelcomeDuring the 2014–15 fiscal year the Cleveland Institute of Art welcomed Chann Fowler-Spellman, Marianne

Bernadotte, and Russell Trusso to its Board of Directors, and Barbara Hawley rejoined the Board following a

one-year interval due to term limits. Cathy Stamler and Charna Sherman both joined the Board of Directors

after involvement on the Advisory Board. CIA also welcomed two new Advisory Board members: Bill Hilyard

and Eileen Roth. We look forward to their insight and active interest in CIA.

As a result of term limits, Steven Cencula ’91 left the Board when his terms expired at the Annual Meeting and

became a member of the Advisory Board. After 10 years of Board service, Sally Stetcher Hollington and after

17 years of Board service, John W. Spirk ’72 were elected as Directors Emeriti. We are very pleased to have

their continued commitment to the college.

David Dickenson, Tom Stanton and Joe Zupan stepped down from the Advisory Board. Their generosity and

service are deeply appreciated.

Sadly, Director Victor Goldberg, and Directors Emeriti Paul Brentlinger and Harold K. Douthit passed away

this year. Victor joined the Board of Directors in 2010. His commitment to CIA was extraordinary, especially

with his work on the board and the Academic Affairs committee.

Paul was a generous supporter of Cleveland Institute of Art and an active member of CIA’s Board of Directors

from 1986 until 2005, serving as chairman from 1992–1998. During his board tenure, he served on the invest-

ment, government and executive committees. In 1998, CIA honored Paul with the Medal for Excellence.

In 2005 he became an Emeritus Board member.

Hal supported the Cleveland Institute of Art for over 20 years. He served on CIA’s Advisory Board, then

became a member of our Board of Directors, and in 2007 became an Emeritus Board member. We are deeply

appreciative of his commitment to CIA. Victor, Paul and Hal made a lasting impact at the college and their

presence is definitely missed.

Mission StatementTo nurture the intellectual, artistic and professional development of students and community members through rigorous visual arts and design education.

Portrait of a College of Art and DesignOne of the nation’s premier colleges of art and design, Cleveland Institute of Art combines a strong foundation in visual art theory with solid instruction in the liberal arts, unmatched studio experience, and opportunities for practical application of skills and knowledge through sponsored projects and internships. Our curriculum fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and risk taking and prepares the next generation of artists and designers to improve our society and enrich our culture.

Founded in 1882, CIA is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and is a member of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design.

We extend our programs to the public through gallery exhibitions, lectures, a continuing education program for adults and children, and the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, an art and independent film program.
