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
Chair, Board of Trustees

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 [email protected]. You
may also donate using the gift envelope enclosed in this
issue of Glance.
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.”
[ 16 ]
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.”

focuses on what it calls a fusion force, summoned from
the ways of the artist, the magician, the ninja, and the
private investigator. The $1,500 winners include David Hevel
(MFA 2002), Desirée Holman (First Year faculty), Michael Light
(Photography 1989), and Hank Willis Thomas (MFA 2003, MA
Visual and Critical Studies 2004).
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.

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

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

“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)

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

letters and responded to them with

often humorous, ironic, and cynical.
The ability to stay upright once
rejection hits marks the longevity
of a career in art.” —Arthur González
