Education through the

Dear Friends,

At this time of year, high school seniors across America are applying to colleges. They are wading through catalogs and brochures, scanning websites, fielding calls from admissions personnel, and getting advice from just about everyone they know. As they make their choices, whether they realize it or not, they will also be feeling their way toward a mode of learning. Some will apply to large universities with prestigious faculty; others will look for smaller colleges with a specialized program that interests them. Many will find schools where they can explore their creative capacity and learn about the world through the new things they make.

There is now widespread recognition that people have very different cognitive styles or ways of learning. No longer do educators assume that all young people learn by listening to lectures or participating in seminars. We now know that for many, the creative process of making new work—be it painting or video, fashion design or furniture making—can be an effective vehicle for liberal education. An education through the arts enhances not only the development of aesthetic and conceptual abilities, but also contextual and critical thinking, problem solving, and entrepreneurial capacity. Students who learn through the arts develop their own voice or vision, and they come to understand the challenges and possibilities for pursuing that vision after graduation.

The traditional role of a liberal arts education has been to provide students with a broad understanding of their cultural context and prepare them to make informed judgments. A liberal arts education teaches students to think for themselves and take responsibility for their actions, for their work. Colleges of art and design have

developed curricula that achieve these goals in powerful ways. In addition to creative practice, students acquire a variety of contextual skills to make their education as profound and productive as possible. This makes them great job candidates in the new “creative economy” that prizes the capacity for innovation. A rigorous exploration of historical, literary, scientific, and other cultural issues is an essential facet of an education through the arts, providing students with the skills they need to engage the world around them and find a meaningful role in it.

Despite the recognition that some students learn best through the arts, arts education at the college or university level is often still thought to be more like a trade school or specialized academy. This misperception inhibits many from choosing the schools or courses in which they would best learn. Of course, some of the graduates of art schools do become successful artists, architects, and designers. But, as is the case with any undergraduate liberal arts major, many art school graduates develop meaningful careers in business, politics, education, and other professions.

Without question, we are proud of our students who go on to show their work in biennials, film festivals, galleries, and museums. But we are no less proud of those who have developed their capacities for meaningful creative work and service to their communities in any number of areas.

In past issues of Glance we have profiled a number of our graduates—artists, designers, illustrators, painters, video artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, and arts administrators. They are all fulfilling the promise of their education through the arts: helping to understand and to shape the culture of the future.

Sincerely,

Michael S. Roth President

A Preview of the Spring Runway Show & Gala

2

by Erica Olsen

In the Boyce Fashion Design Studio on the San Francisco campus, industrial sewing machines are humming, and dress forms are draped with the first incarnations of outfits. The members of the CCA fashion design class of 2005 are hard at work. They are sketching and cutting patterns. They are thinking about silk and wool; about felting, dyeing, and screen-printing. Some are designing their own fabrics—conjuring textures that haven’t been invented yet.

The event the students have anticipated ever since they arrived at California College of the Arts is now just a few months away: the spring Fashion Show. At the annual presentation of the senior collections, audience members can expect to see everything from immaculately tailored outfits to adventurous experiments in fabric and construction. The show typically draws a sold-out audience of friends, family, and Bay Area fashion insiders.

Suzanne Boll ‘03 recalls her Fashion Show experience: “I was excited to integrate all the skills I had learned into my line. It was a lot of hard work, but it definitely paid off.” Boll is currently working as a lingerie designer in New York.

“A fashion show is a pinnacle, an extremely exciting and gratifying moment in a designer’s career,” says Gale Parker, the program’s new chair. “For the students, it’s the ultimate accolade to see their clothes on beautiful models, moving.”

Edward Leaman, the program’s founding chair and director of the Fashion Show, agrees. “The fashion show is the purest expression of the talent and skills of a fashion designer,” Leaman says. “A long runway, a professional crew of models, stylists, makeup and hair artists, and DJs allow the graduates to present every outfit as they intended.”

The CCA Fashion Design Program is relatively new to the college. It welcomed its first students in the fall of 1996 and saw its first graduates in 1998. Success stories include new graduate Patricia Le ‘04, who works as an assistant patternmaker at Amy Kuschel Bride in San Francisco; Kira Craft ’03, who landed a job with Londonbased designer Alexander McQueen; and Jennavave Barbero ’02, an associate designer with BCBG in New York.

(For more about Barbero, see the spring 2004 Glance.)

Parker herself brings stellar credentials to the college.

She began as a design assistant for Valentino and Halston and went on to hold a variety of positions in the fashion industry—including design director of the women’s

collection at Ralph Lauren and editor at Vogue—before joining the CCA program.

When asked about her plans for Fashion Design at CCA, Parker replies without hesitation: “I want to build the program so we are one of the best schools in the country.”

Her interests include the influence of art on fashion, and ways of bringing the real world into the curriculum.

The spring Fashion Show represents one of those moments when art and the real world converge; when graduating students come one step closer to bringing their work to the public—to the fashion press, manufacturers, retailers, and ultimately, the men and women who will wear their designs.

Save the Date: CCA Fashion Show Gala This spring, there will be a special event in connection with the CCA Fashion Show.

On April 28, 2005, California College of the Arts will host a gala fundraiser—the college’s first since 1997. The gala will take place at the Old Federal Reserve Bank Building in San Francisco. This evening of fashion will include a cocktail reception and dinner, followed by a special presentation of the Fashion Show. Funds raised at the gala will support essential academic programs at the college.

For more information about the gala, contact Jen McKay in the Advancement Office at 415.594.3776 or jmckay@cca.edu.

Alumni Profiles Transforming Their Communities

by Jessica Russell

It is the mission of California College of the Arts to prepare its students for lifelong creative work and service to their communities. The alumni profiled here are using their degrees to meet the needs of two very different communities. Architect Steven Utz was recently awarded a three-year fellowship to address housing and city planning needs in rural Meadville, PA. Amana Harris founded an art and social justice program serving children in the urban community of West Oakland, CA. Steven Utz

Last year, Steven Utz left his job at a Walnut Creek architecture firm when his wife accepted a teaching position at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA. In addition to his design and historic preservation work, Utz began working with local nonprofit organizations. With only one architecture firm in this rural rustbelt community, he realized that “no one was focusing on low-income housing in a town where 51 percent of the families are living on less than $14,000 a year.”

A number of agencies in town needed help with building renovations so needy families could be housed. Utz began working with Crawford County Coalition on Housing Needs, which provides services to the area’s homeless, near-homeless, and low-income families. They had no money to pay him, so he volunteered his time. “It was clear they needed someone with architectural training,” he says.

When Utz learned that The Enterprise Foundation’s Frederick P. Rose Architectural Fellowship offered a stipend for just such work, he applied—and was awarded one of the prestigious fellowships for 2004–7. Utz will spend the next three years working with nonprofits, redevelopment authorities, and city officials to revitalize Meadville. His projects will include constructing transitional housing, renovating single family homes utilizing green design practices, and improving the South Main Street neighborhood with pedestrian corridors and nature and bike trails.

When asked how it felt to receive the fellowship, he replies, “I’m proud that I came to understand the community I’m living in and can make the major shift away from historical preservation to the more necessary work of fulfilling the needs of a community.” When the fellowship is over, Utz hopes to become manager of a Main Street or Elm Street Program in Meadville, through a federally funded program that assigns independent managers to improve commercial or residential streets. For more information about The Enterprise Foundation, go to www.enterprisefoundation.org.

As a high school student at Oakland Tech, Amana Harris spent much of her time painting and drawing. She even hung out a few times on the CCA campus up the street, so when it came time to apply to colleges, California College of the Arts seemed a logical choice.

After graduation she went to work for a wax and plastic prototyping company, but discovered it wasn’t the right fit. A friend’s advice led her to substitute teaching. Harris enjoyed working with young people in an urban environment, and soon she took over a first-grade class at Lockwood Elementary School. “That was the school that changed my life,” she recalls. “Their teacher had abandoned the class, and I told myself, I’m going to finish this year out with the kids.”

One little boy in particular inspired her to begin using art as a tool to build self-esteem. He often came to class hungry, wore the same clothes two or three days in a row, and was very angry. The one thing that helped him focus was art. Harris says, “This validated the thoughts I was starting to have that kids needed an alternative space to create, a safe environment, a caring consistent adult in their lives.”

Harris began her program in 1995 by canvassing her West Oakland neighborhood and passing out flyers. Twelve children attended the first Saturday classes—and ArtEsteem was born.

The program grew even as Harris had two daughters and continued to substitute teach. Now ArtEsteem serves over 150 youth a year through programs and field trips in literacy, art, photography, fashion design, and science.

ArtEsteem has a paid staff and partners with four schools and community programs, including the CCA Center for Art and Public Life. Harris may be proudest of her two youth assistants, Kamilah Crawford and Diana Alonzo, who participated in ArtEsteem as children and now get A’s and B’s as students at Oakland Tech. They help advocate for the program at city council meetings.

What’s next for ArtEsteem? Harris says, “I have a lot of ideas, but right now my goal is to ground this program in such a way that it will impact young people. I want to see young people go to college, I want to see success stories.”

For more information on ArtEsteem, go to www.ahc-oakland.org.

In the News : Gifts & Grants

California College of the Arts continues to receive very generous support from alumni and friends.

Linda and Steve Lotspeich made a second remarkable gift of $100,000 in support of the Albertina “Nina” Zanzi Endowed Scholarship. Mr. and Mrs. Lotspeich created this scholarship in 2003 in memory of Linda’s aunt, Nina Zanzi ’41, who had great affection for the college and wanted to help future generations of talented young students.

As the CCA student population grows, the need for scholarships increases. We are grateful to Arthur Gensler and his family for their $25,000 gift to endow the Gensler Family Foundation Scholarship for students pursuing the master of architecture degree. Fong & Chan Architects made a generous donation of $25,000 to create a scholarship endowment for undergraduate architecture students. Our thanks go to the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Fund for its grant of $25,000 to the President’s Scholarship Fund. We thank Kathie Renick, Mark Fox, and Michael Vanderbyl for their personal gifts and their work in securing faculty and alumni gifts totaling $18,000 to the Steve Renick Graphic Design Endowed Scholarship. The Morris Stulsaft Foundation gave $5,000 to support Young Artist Studio and Pre-College scholarships.

Parents James and Mary Dunnam also made a generous gift in support of the Collegewide Scholarship Fund.

Alumni giving is also growing. Our sincere thanks go to the almost 200 alumni donors who made gifts during our August 2004 telefund campaign.

Our student callers raised almost $17,000, and every penny will be put to good use as the college expands and strengthens programs. An alumnus was also instrumental in introducing CCA to the Ken and Judith Joy Family Foundation, which recently gave $10,000 to the Photography Program.

Trustee giving continues to lead the way. CCA received a very generous gift of $100,000 from Judy and Bill Timken. Trustee George Saxe and his wife, Dorothy, gave $56,000 to help the Glass Program, and with a gift of $25,000, trustee Jan Boyce and her husband, Tom, established an endowed scholarship for fashion students. Ronald and Anita Wornick contributed a $10,000 lead sponsorship for Irreducible: Contemporary Short Form Video, the CCA Wattis Institute spring 2005 exhibition.

The CCA Wattis Institute was also fortunate to receive generous support for their current major exhibition, Baja to Vancouver: The West Coast and Contemporary Art. A total of $30,000 in sponsorships was contributed by Tony and Celeste Meier, City National Bank, Simon and Kimberly Blattner, Charlotte and David Winton, Robin Wright, and Mary and Harold Zlot. In

The Robert Mondavi Family of Wines has generously provided wine for CCA events for the past several years. We are very pleased to announce that for fi scal year 2004–5, Mondavi Wines has made its largest donation to date and will be CCA’s exclusive wine sponsor for donor programs and events. Exceptional Mondavi wines are being served at events such as the reception for our honorary doctorate recipients, the annual Scholarship Dinner, and CCA Wattis Institute exhibition openings. These

addition, the CCA Wattis Institute and other college public programs received a $46,000 award from Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.

The CCA Center for Art and Public Life received $47,250 from the Alameda County Office of Education/U.S. Department of Education in support of professional development for art educators. The Oakland Unified School District and Oakland School for the Arts each awarded $10,000 to the Center to support partnership efforts in arts education. And the Center received an $8,600 grant from the California Academy of Sciences in support of Pieces of Cloth, Pieces of Culture, a year-long collaborative project with the Academy and the ‘Otufelenite Tongan Community Organization.

The Bay Area community has been supportive of the CCA Architecture Program. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill established a model of sponsored studios with a gift of $11,000. Anshen + Allen and Ove Arup and Partners California both followed this very successful model, and each made a gift of $5,535. The library resources supporting architecture will be greatly increased as a result of a very generous grant of $25,000 from the LEF Foundation.

In conclusion, the college extends its warm thanks to trustees Christopher Vroom, Henry Gardner, Ann Morhauser, and Mary Zlot for their generous Annual Fund gifts.

events celebrate and honor the artists, students, faculty, and donors who make the college a superb educational and cultural institution.

In recognition of his enduring commitment to the arts, evidenced in his broad support of cultural institutions, Robert Mondavi was a 2002 recipient of an honorary doctorate from California College of the Arts. We are grateful to Mr. Mondavi, the Robert Mondavi Family of Wines, and our trustee Hank Salvo, who together made this generous sponsorship possible.

Simpsons Honored on National Philanthropy Day

CCA Trustee Barclay Simpson and his wife, Sharon Hanley Simpson, received the Outstanding Philanthropist Award at the 2004 National Philanthropy Day Luncheon in San Francisco on November 15. The award, given by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, pays tribute to an exceptional individual donor who generously provides a lead gift or substantially assists a nonprofit organization.

A member of our Board of Trustees since 1986, Barclay has served in several leadership positions, including development committee chair for six years. During that time, he increased contributions significantly, brought on new trustees and new donors, and made leadership gifts that set the stage for the college’s expansion in the late 1990s.

Barclay and Sharon have given generously to the college over the years to support a variety of projects. In 1998, the Simpsons’ gift built the Sharon Hanley Simpson Library, a critical part of the new San Francisco campus. The Simpson Library—much larger and better equipped than the previous facility—enabled a dramatic expansion in academic resources, including strategic growth in the library collection. The Simpson name also graces the award-winning sculpture facility in Oakland, which was completed in 1993. The couple has also been generous supporters of the Center for Art and Public Life.

President Michael S. Roth commented, “The magnitude of the Simpsons’ support for the college is only surpassed by their leadership and their caring as donors. They are gracious and unassuming patrons. The only recognition they desire is that their gifts inspire others to give. Barclay has been an exceptional leader on our Board of Trustees, not only motivating others to give, but also giving wise counsel on a variety of issues and maximizing the effectiveness of the staff/trustee partnership in leading the school.”

California College of the Arts is not the only Bay Area organization fortunate enough to receive the Simpsons’

Simpsons have used their “ The giving and their passion for the college to motivate others to support our mission of excellence in art education.

Telefund Connects Students and Alumni This past August, a group of seven students—ranging from first year to fourth year and from a variety of majors— worked evenings and weekends for two weeks raising money in support of the college’s Annual Fund. The college received almost $17,000 in gifts and pledges from over 200 individuals. These gifts will provide crucial funding for the college’s core needs, including student scholarships, the libraries and computer labs, and much, much more.

Our students appreciate the chance to speak with alumni, who share their professional experiences; friends with an interest in the arts; and parents committed to arts education. Jake Gabel, a fourth-year printmaking major, has worked the telefund a number of times. He says, “The telefund is a great opportunity for me to speak with alumni and learn about their artistic careers. I also enjoy working with my peers and making new friends in a fun work environment.”

The telefund is also a positive experience for those on the other end of the line. Betty Franks ’89 says, “I had such a lovely conversation with Gaby, the student who called me.

Because of her courtesy, I decided to increase my gift to the college. Because she is an illustration major, I also chose to designate half of my gift to that department.”

The college will conduct another telefund campaign in March 2005. If you receive a call, please take a moment to speak with our students. They very much appreciate your support. If you have questions about the CCA telefund program, please contact Ashley Lomery in the Advancement Office at 510.594.3662 or alomery@cca.edu

Greetings from the CCA Alumni Association!

Please join me in welcoming our new alumni relations manager, Jessica Russell. Jessica came to California College of the Arts this past April after serving most recently as the executive director of Hands On San Francisco, a volunteer and community service organization. Prior to that she held positions at the San Francisco Food Bank and the YWCA of San Diego County. Jessica holds a BA in history and women’s studies from the University of California, Los Angeles. In addition to ten years of experience in the nonprofit sector, she is also a photographer.

Jessica is working to create and expand programs that benefit CCA alumni and connect alumni with each other and with the school. We are thrilled to have her on board.

Feel free to contact her at jrussell@cca.edu or 510.594.3764.

The Alumni Association and its leadership group, the Alumni Council, have been busy organizing programs for alumni and students. This past May, the council hosted our newest alumni at a champagne reception following commencement. In July, photography alumni joined Professor Larry Sultan for a walk-through of his exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The Alumni Association participated in presentations to new students and parents during orientation week, and council members recently juried the New Student Exhibition.

We are currently presenting our Fall 2004 Alumni Exhibition, generously hosted by EDAW (see details below).

The Alumni Association is off to a great start this year.

We hope you will consider getting involved; it’s a great way

to connect with fellow alumni, experience campus life, and develop your leadership and networking skills.

Students Begin New MArch Program This fall, a diverse group of forty-four students began their studies in the new Master of Architecture (MArch) Program at California College of the Arts. When administrators announced the program, they expected it would spark interest, especially given the increasing demand for architecture education, but they never anticipated such a great response. Over one hundred candidates applied for admission this fall, and inquiries and applications are already rolling in for next year.

The three-year first professional degree program is designed for students who hold a bachelor’s degree in another field and wish to pursue architecture, and gives advanced standing to students who have previous education in architecture. Its unique curriculum focuses on ideas about making, and integrates critical, artistic, and material approaches to the study and practice of architecture.

www.cca.edu After over a year of planning, design, and production, the new CCA website was launched in August. The website has a great new look, thanks to the college’s e-Sputnik design students; their instructor, Stella Lai; web content manager and editor, Jeremy Crawford; and former web administrator (now director of academic computing), Scott Emery. The website also has a new structure, a Googlepowered search feature, and revised content—including our calendar of exhibitions and other public programs.

Started during fall 2002, e-Sputnik was a graphic design internship course in which students designed and produced websites and other web projects for the college.

The course was a spin-off of the successful Sputnik program, which designs many of the college’s print publications, including Glance. The student designers provide valuable services to the college, while honing their professional skills.

12

Associate professor Lisa Findley, coordinator of the MArch Program, says the students in the first class are exceptional and thrilled to be part of the program. They come from a range of backgrounds, including fine arts, computer science, Russian literature, business, art direction, and opera.

The demand for another graduate architecture program in the Bay Area, the strong reputation of CCA’s undergraduate BArch Program, and an active faculty engaged in social and political commentary all likely account for the program’s initial popularity.

For more information about the MArch Program, call the Enrollment Services Office at 415.703.9520.

Larry Rinder Appointed Dean of Graduate Studies

Photo: Ed Kashi

He’s b-a-a-a-ck! After a four-year stint as curator at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, Larry Rinder has returned to California College of the Arts in the newly created position of dean of graduate studies.

Rinder now oversees the college’s graduate division, which includes programs in architecture, curatorial practice, design, fine arts, visual criticism, and writing. With current graduate enrollment at 268 students (up from 189 last year), he has his hands full.

Rinder has been a curator of contemporary art for more than fifteen years, including three years as director of the CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts.

Why would he give up curating for the rigors of academia?

“The glamour, of course,” Rinder says with a sly grin.

“Honestly, CCA is an amazing place filled with ambition, energy, and excitement. I truly believe it is poised to become the leading American art college of the twenty-first century. To be part of that is a tremendous opportunity.”

And, not to worry, Rinder won’t give up on curating. He will continue as adjunct curator at the Whitney Museum, where he is currently organizing a midcareer survey of the work of Los Angeles–based artist Tim Hawkinson, scheduled to open in February 2005. He will also undertake a number of independent curatorial projects.

Rinder was appointed Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator of Contemporary Art at the Whitney Museum of American Art in May 2000. Recent exhibitions at the Whitney include The American Effect, an exploration of

global perceptions of America in art made since 1990. He was chief curator of the 2002 Whitney Biennial, served as an advisor on the 1991 and 1993 Biennials, and was one of six curators of the 2000 Biennial. Founding director of the CCA Wattis Institute, he organized several exhibitions at the college, including the groundbreaking Searchlight: Consciousness at the Millennium (1999) and Fabrice Hybert: At Your Own Risk (1999). From 1988 to 1998, he worked at the Berkeley Art Museum (BAM) in a variety of positions including curator of twentieth-century art and curator of the museum’s MATRIX program. Among the many exhibitions he organized for BAM are Louise Bourgeois: Drawings (1996), In a Different Light (1995), and Andrea Fraser: Aren’t They Lovely? (1992). Rinder received a BA in art from Reed College and an MA in art history from Hunter College. He has held teaching positions at UC Berkeley and Deep Springs College and is currently adjunct professor of art history and archaeology at Columbia University.

CCA President Michael S. Roth commented, “Our graduate programs have grown significantly over the last few years, and we are particularly excited about the ways in which the different programs interact with one another. As CCA enters a dynamic new phase, academic vision for the graduate division is increasingly important.

With his extensive knowledge of contemporary art practice and proven leadership experience, Larry is the ideal person to guide this effort.”

Welcome back, Larry!

Jones and Turrell Receive Honorary Doctorates California College of the Arts conferred honorary doctorates of fine arts on performing artist Rhodessa Jones and artist James Turrell at the college’s 97th Commencement Exercises on May 8 in San Francisco.

Turrell gave the commencement address.

Actress, director, dancer, teacher, singer, and writer Rhodessa Jones is co-artistic director of the acclaimed San Francisco performance company Cultural Odyssey.

She is the founder and director of the award-winning Medea Project: Theater for Incarcerated Women, a performance workshop for incarcerated women designed to achieve personal and social transformation. Jones is the subject of a recent book by Rena Fraden, Imagining Medea: Rhodessa Jones and Theater for Incarcerated Women (University of North Carolina Press, 2001).

James Turrell’s work involves explorations in light and space that speak to viewers without words. “I want to create an atmosphere that can be consciously plumbed with seeing,” says the artist, “like the wordless thought that comes from looking in a fire.” Turrell is the recipient of such awards as the Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships. His work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and many other museums. He lives and works in Arizona.

San Francisco Student Center Opens At the start of fall semester, California College of the Arts greeted the largest group of new students in its history. Total enrollment is now more than 1,580 students, which includes 418 new undergraduates and 172 new graduate students. Keeping pace with this growth, the San Francisco campus has also expanded. The college has opened a Student Center at 80 Carolina Street, across the street from the main San Francisco building and the Graduate Center. The Student Center houses a variety of administrative offices, including Enrollment Services, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Student Affairs, Student Records, and Career Resources. Space in the 1111 Eighth Street building that was formerly occupied by administrative offices has been transformed into additional classrooms and graduate studios.

For prospective undergraduate students, tours of both the San Francisco and Oakland campuses are offered twice daily, Monday through Friday, at 10 AM and 1:30 PM. For graduate students, tours of the San Francisco campus are offered twice a week. Please call 800.447.1ART or 415.703.9523 for more information or to reserve a space.

Tongan Textile Art Comes to CCA

One day in the fall of 2003, a group of Bay Area Tongan women gathered in an Oakland park with a supply of mulberry tree bark. They began to beat the strips of wet bark with wooden hammers on long anvils, a process called tutu. It was the first step in the production of a traditional Tongan tapa, or bark cloth—the first ever created in the continental United States.

Pieces of Cloth, Pieces of Culture: Tongan Tapa Cloth, a year-long project, was cosponsored by the CCA Center for Art and Public Life and its visiting scholar, cultural anthropologist Ping-Ann Addo; lead artist Siu Tuita, of Oakland’s ‘Otufelenite Tongan Community Organization; and the California Academy of Sciences Department of Anthropology. The project explored the dynamic expression of tapa cloth in the Pacific Islands and their diaspora. Called ngatu in the Tongan language, tapa cloths have long been used as “red carpets” for chiefs and gifts at ceremonial occasions. In the United States today, they are used by Tongan migrants primarily as gifts for a family or community’s public celebrations.

Pieces of Cloth, Pieces of Culture culminated during the summer of 2004 in an exhibition at the Oakland Craft and Cultural Arts Gallery, featuring the newly created 16 x 24 foot tapa cloth, music and dance performances, and a historical collection of tapa cloth on loan from the California Academy of Sciences. This project was funded in part by a grant from the Creative Work Fund.

In Memoriam Viola Frey Noted artist Viola Frey died on July 26, 2004. She was 70. Frey was an internationally respected artist and leading figure in contemporary ceramics. She was known for her monumental, intensely colored ceramic sculptures, which explored issues of gender, cultural iconography, and art history. Along with Peter Voulkos and Robert Arneson, Frey shaped and defined contemporary ceramics to explore contemporary ideas and concepts.

Frey was born into a ranching family in Lodi, CA, in 1933. She received a BFA from California College of Arts and Crafts (now California College of the Arts) in 1956 and an MFA from Tulane University in 1958. In 1965 Frey joined the CCA faculty and continued a relationship with the college through 1999 as full professor and chair of the Ceramics Program. During her tenure, she guided the design and building of the Treadwell Ceramic Arts Center on the Oakland campus. In 1999 she was awarded the status of professor emerita, and in 2003, the college established the Viola Frey Chair in Fine Arts, created to bring noted artists from around the world to teach and share their work with the Bay Area community.

Frey’s exhibitions included Viola Frey: A Retrospective, Crocker Art Museum, 1981 (traveling to the Oakland Museum of California, Saint Louis Art Museum, and Huntsville Museum of Art); a one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 1984; Viola Frey: Plates 1968–1994, touring, 1994; and Larger than Life: Ceramic Figures by Viola Frey, Boise Art Museum, 2001. Her work is represented in public collections including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. For many years, Frey has been represented by Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco and Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York. Nancy Hoffman observed, “On the last day of her life, Viola worked in her studio, completing the final sculpture for her upcoming 2005 exhibition. Her perseverance to finish the last piece for her show was testimony to who she was—a veritable force of nature.” Frey’s 2005 exhibition will begin at the Frist
