2017-2018 Annual Report

Cleveland Institute of Art Annual Report 2017–2018

A Year of Focused Learning

Dear Friends, Last fall, we paused for a moment to celebrate the 135th birthday of the Cleveland Institute of Art. The history and legacy of this great institution are never far from our minds as we work for the benefit of today’s CIA students and plan for the future.

Over the past year, the hard work of our students, faculty, staff, and board was punctuated by many celebrations. From convocation to BFA week and on to commencement, we marked many milestones and laid the groundwork that will prepare our students to be leaders in their creative careers.

As we navigated the challenges of a changing economy, we continued to be strong stewards of CIA’s endowment. I am proud of the hard work that Grafton and his leadership team have done in continuing to hold CIA’s endowment draw at the 5 percent level. This requires tremendous self-discipline at all levels, but the reward is in knowing that today’s smart choices help us strengthen our foundation for the future. We look for ways to grow the College—academically and through its public programming—being ever mindful of the level of our tuition and ensuring that a CIA education is a compelling value proposition for our students.

As you read through the Annual Report, I hope you’ll enjoy revisiting our very successful year at CIA. I look forward to seeing you soon at one of our upcoming events.

If I had to select one word to describe operations at the Cleveland Institute of Art, “focused” pops to mind. Our leadership, faculty and staff are laser focused on ensuring that the CIA student experience is as supportive, inspiring, and fruitful as possible.

The new Euclid 117 residence hall represents the efforts of many at CIA on behalf of the best possible experience for our students. Construction started in the summer of 2017 and was completed in August 2018. In tandem with our Uptown residence hall, the new building ensures that freshman and sophomore resident students reap the considerable academic and social benefits of on-campus living.

I am very proud of the work being done by our team in Career Services, which in 2017-18 introduced an internship fair, job fair, and a suite of workshops to help students present themselves well to potential employers. These offerings bolster efforts by faculty in our 15 majors to maintain and establish new bridges to outside professionals. Traffic along those bridges moves in both directions; external organizations benefit from the fresh perspectives our students bring to special projects, and our students develop professionalism that serves them well into the future.

Our faculty are always, of course, a point of pride. In the 2017-18 year alone, faculty members did residencies and research in California, Japan, China, and Europe. Jewelry + Metals professor Kathy Buszkiewicz had a ring acquired by the Swiss National Museum in Zurich; Matthew Hollern, Jewelry + Metals department chair, was commissioned to create a medal for the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. Haishan Deng, who teaches transportation design, set a goal through Kickstarter to raise $11,000 to bring his design for the GOVO badge holder/wallet into production; he raised nearly $153,000, and the product and other accessories are now in the marketplace.

These are but a few of the many ways faculty demonstrate their commitment to their fields and model success to their students.

In 2017, Nikki Woods became director of Reinberger Gallery and embraced one of the busiest gallery seasons in recent memory. In addition to the regular roster of exhibitions, Nikki was deeply involved in the development of a new alumni exhibition as well as in preparations for CIA’s participation in FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art. CIA students, and how they will benefit from gallery activities, are always at the forefront of consideration as Nikki organizes the events.

On a sad note, in October 2018 we learned of the passing of faculty emerita Gwen Cooper ’63.

Gwen served for more than 30 years as a dedicated faculty member. She was a loyal and active member of our alumni community, and she will be missed.

The pages that follow offer a look back at moments big and small from the year just ended.

Please enjoy, and know that we are lifting the bar higher yet for the benefit of current students and those to come.

2017–2018

Building up, making work, and always rethinking the future From the start at CIA, the student begins to think in new ways. The evolution can happen at a startling clip as advanced knowledge replaces old thinking and new technical skills pave the way for different modes of inquiry.

Just as it is a student’s job to keep moving forward, so it is for the institution itself. Anchors of the academic year— convocation, finals week, spring show, commencement— connect us to tradition even as we clear new paths. Change affects all facets of what we do, from improving our physical facilities to updating curriculum.

Among all the planned moments dictated by the academic calendar were unexpected surprises, including visits by renowned architect Sir David Adjaye and a Cinematheque weekend devoted to Russo Brothers films—and the Russos themselves.

Here are a few of the many wonderful moments that punctuated the year, from artmaking to campus construction to student life and alumni relations.

Construction on CIA’s new residence hall at 117th Street and Euclid Avenue occupied the entire academic year. The hall debuted in August 2018.

The Stone Flower Café opened in January 2018 in the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Atrium, giving students, faculty and staff access to hot and cold beverages and a variety of breakfast and lunch alternatives.

Glass major Michael Mentz was among 121 students who presented thesis projects during BFA week.

The 2018 Alumni Exhibition opened March 2, with more than 70 artists represented from a wide variety of disciplines. Jurors were Bill Busta, Liz Maugans, and Stephen Yusko.

The next alumni exhibition is scheduled for summer 2019.

Entertainment arts executive Kevin Geiger ’89 served as the 2018 commencement speaker.

Geiger told the graduates, “Think laterally, follow your passion, and the sky’s the limit.”

Sir David Adjaye, principal of the international architectural firm Adjaye Associates, toured the Cleveland Institute of Art in May. Adjaye designed the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture on the Mall in Washington, D.C.

Two student groups visited Chicago over spring break to tour galleries, studios, design firms and more. Career Services organized one of the trips and helped allay costs through its newly created Career Fair. Visual arts students raised money for their trip in part with proceeds from the 100 Show and Sale.

Filmmakers and former Clevelanders Joe and Anthony Russo presented a talk at the Cinematheque as part of a three-movie “Russo-rama” film festival in May.

Sculpture + Expanded Media major Brandon Secrest won the first place Board Grand Purchase Prize with “Transfinite, Transfixed” at the 72nd Student Independent Exhibition. Here, Secrest is flanked by board members Howard Groedel and Cynthia Prior Gascoigne.

More than 80 companies, non-profits and graduate schools visited CIA during three fairs, organized by Career Services, to help CIA students take the next steps in their professional lives.

CIA award recipients honored for art, teaching, and service Each year, the Cleveland Institute of Art recognizes members of its community through awards that highlight achievements in key leadership roles. The Schreckengost Award for excellence in teaching is presented during commencement. Awards for Service and for Artistic Achievement are traditionally given during the Burchfield Society dinner, which honors those who have made strong financial commitments to the CIA mission.

Schreckengost Award

Established in 2000, the Schreckengost Award was named for the late artist and industrial designer Viktor Schreckengost, a 1929 graduate of CIA who taught here for almost 70 years.

It is presented each year to a current or former faculty member in recognition of teaching excellence.

Two individuals received the Schreckengost Award in 2018.

Nancy McEntee is a professor in the Photography + Video Department.

She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts at Bard College and her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography at CIA.

Ohio-born artist Paul Travis (1891— 1975) graduated from the Cleveland School of Art (now CIA) in 1917 and was once a member of the coalition of influential artists known as the Cleveland School. He served in World War I and in 1928 toured Africa.

He returned to Cleveland and developed work based on experiences, artifacts, sketches and watercolors he made there. Travis taught at CIA from 1920 through 1957.

She was a Creative Workforce Fellow through the Community Partnership on Arts and Culture, and an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellow.

She was awarded a residency at the Burren College of Art in Ireland and has received two Virginia Center for the Creative Arts Fellowship residencies.

Her photographs are exhibited nationally and can be found in many public and private collections.

CIA Award for Service

John Schulze received the 2017 Award for Service, which honors people and organizations that have supported and advanced art and design at CIA through financial contributions, leadership or other forms of advocacy.

Schulze, the retired former chairman, president and CEO of The Lamson & Sessions Co., was selected for the wisdom, energy and insight he brought during more than 13 years on the CIA Board of Directors. He has worked on many of the most significant projects, including chairmanship of the committee that oversaw campus unification.

He is a former trustee of the Cleveland Play House and the Playhouse Square Foundation Board. He has been a trustee of the Cleveland Skating Club, the Country Club and the Pepper Pike Club, and is a current trustee of the Chagrin Valley Hunt Club.

He and his wife, Sally Reddig Schulze, collect modern and contemporary art, including works with Western themes and works by Viktor Schreckengost ’29 and Joseph O’Sickey ’40.

Artists, students, and members win big through carta The premise seems simple: Hold a lottery-style drawing that allows participants to borrow an original piece of art for one year. If they love it, they can buy it at the end of the year.

If they’re ready for something else, they return it and borrow something new.

That describes the big annual event presented by the Cleveland Art Association—carta for short—a non-profit membership organization born in 1915 to foster an interest in art and support artists.

Travis, Julian Stanczak, Frank Wilcox, Clarence Carter, Viktor Schreckengost and Carl Gaertner. The roster of contemporary artists includes William Brouillard, Amy Casey, Judith Salomon, Brent Kee Young, Tony Ingrisano, and many others. Seventy pieces of art making up carta’s children’s collection are available to be borrowed by members 15 and younger.

“There are other organizations—we’ve heard they’re similar— that work on consignment,” Ospanik says. “We’re purchasing all the artwork, sometimes directly from the artist, and some through their gallery.

A handful of works from the carta collection can be borrowed but not purchased, either because the artist has passed away or because the piece was donated with that specification. But most of the collection is available for sale, and Ospanik says 15 to 20 members each year fall in love with their pieces and purchase them. Carta sold about $35,000 worth of art in 2018. That money contributes to carta’s ability to fund scholarships and to continue to buy new work for the collection.

Carta began developing an art collection in 1936. Today it owns more than 200 works by Northeast Ohio artists.

And once each fall, members may borrow from that collection. It begins with a preview day, on which the collection is displayed in CIA’s Reinberger Gallery for members to review. Several days later, members assemble for a lottery in which numbers are called to determine who picks first, second, and so on.

The lottery event has the energy of an auction, and everyone wins—especially CIA students.

In addition to supporting artists by buying their work for the carta collection, the organization provides scholarships to Cleveland Institute of Art students. Over the years, carta has donated more than $650,000 to CIA’s scholarship fund.

Carta also bestows Horace Potter Memorial Scholarships to one or more Jewelry + Metals majors each year.

“It’s the best value on the planet, because you get a piece on loan for a year that you have the option of buying,” said carta President Laura Ospanik. “The drawing is always on Sunday, and there’s a great preview party on the Thursday before. And then we have a spring event. And you get all of this for our membership of $120.”

The collection is a Who’s Who of the Cleveland art scene, past and present. It includes works by Paul 8

Carta’s curatorial committee members keep an eye out at gallery openings during the year to hash out which new works and artists should become part of the collection.

Ospanik credits CIA Chair Cynthia Prior Gascoigne for staying on top of the scene.

“When she sees a couple of shows are coming up, or even sees work in a studio, she’ll call or send out an email to the curatorial committee. It’s really interesting because when there’s a piece that I might think is a sure winner, there might be someone else who says, ‘I don’t go for this one.’”

That diversity of viewpoints enriches the collection, Ospanik says. “Everyone’s unique, and if everyone liked the same piece of work, we’d be in trouble.”

Eppig invests time and treasure in creative economy Ruth Swetland Eppig has a concise way of describing the mission of the Cleveland Institute of Art: “We’re forming the creative class.”

That’s no small feat as far as Eppig is concerned. As president of the Sears-Swetland Family Foundation and a onetime student of biology and art at Smith College, Eppig believes in sustainable systems. And she loves the sustainability that emerges from talented young artists and designers becoming part of a thriving ecosystem.

“We put these students in a position to enter the economy in a way that is unique and powerful,” she says.

Eppig and her husband, Dr. Michael Eppig, are enthusiastic art collectors and lifelong supporters of arts, education and sustainable communities. Their two daughters work with Ruth at Sears-Swetland, which has supported many programs at CIA, including the curriculum and the Green Roof project through the Antheia Fund. And one of their sons is—like Ruth’s brother, David—a working artist.

She joined the CIA Board of Directors about 11 years ago after completing a campaign for the renovation of the Cleveland Botanical Garden. That campaign, along with other development work, provided her with insights as she joined CIA board member John Schulze in chairing the committee overseeing the $75 million plan to consolidate the College’s two campuses in a renovated and expanded building at 11610 Euclid Avenue.

“That was an interesting project,” she says. “There were a lot of issues we had to deal with, and we always found a way to go forward.”

It helped that her board colleagues remained committed and focused, she says.

“We could always see the priorities,” Eppig says. “The culture on this board is what’s kept me here. It’s a group of interesting, nice people who are very thoughtful and very generous. It’s not a power struggle. It was about how we could make something go forward for the benefit of the students. And I think we got there.”

The unified campus opened in fall of 2015.

In addition to her time on the development committee, Eppig now serves as chair of the governance committee and on the executive committee.

“I’ve taken a very active role in board management, and through the governance committee we’ve taken many steps forward,” she says. “We’ve recently completed a questionnaire for directors, updated the code of regulations, increased programming for the advisory board, and we’ve

created a new national trustee designation. We’ve also recruited some talented new directors.

“We are always encouraging directors to open doors to community members so that they understand the work we do here, and the excitement of it,” she says.

Successes along the way include an upswing in enrollment (fall 2018 full-time enrollment reached 670 students, which is believed to be an all-time high) and a budget process that has reduced the College’s annual draw from its endowment to 5 percent. “I think our reputation is on the rise,” Eppig says.

Pressing goals, she says, include raising money to boost scholarship support and to offer endowed chairs. Growing the endowment means drawing in new supporters, including younger ones, who tend to approach philanthropy differently than previous generations did. Eppig is undaunted by the task.

“It’s all based on relationships, and attracting people to the mission,” she says. “Introducing yourself. That’s nothing new.

“My family takes a long view,” she adds. “We make commitments that we keep long term. I feel completely engaged here.”

These funds were used toward renovation of CIA’s Joseph McCullough Center for the Visual Arts and construction of the new George Gund building.
