PNCA Center of Creativity Awards Booklet

Center of Creativity Awards

The U.S.G.S. marker on PNCA’s roof designates The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design as a geographical center of Portland, reinforcing our commitment to serve as a hub for art and creativity. We draw inspiration from our community of citizen artists who live the life of creative practice, with intention.

Our dedication to this ethos has resulted in a culture of respect, freedom of expression, experimentation, and a laser focus on supporting the student experience.

In the past, our community has come together at our annual fundraising Gala to champion PNCA students and affirm the importance of art and design education.

This year, amidst a global pandemic, we were unable to gather in person. We will not let that deter us, however, from recognizing and celebrating those who have been steadfast in their support of the college and whose work advocating for art and culture has been felt deeply in our community.

The recipients of the inaugural PNCA Center of Creativity Awards, spotlighted throughout this book, epitomize the creative culture of the Pacific Northwest.

Their impact on the world of art and design is extensive and continues to prove crucial in establishing PNCA as a hub for art and creativity.

Join us in recognition of these amazing individuals.

Enjoy reading how their support of PNCA, the arts, higher education, social justice and civic engagement has opened doors for citizen artists throughout our region and beyond. They are an inspiration to us all.

Susan Hammer SALLY LAWRENCE PRESIDENT’S AWARD

Named in honor of PNCA President Emerita, Sally Lawrence, this award recognizes individuals who demonstrate a steadfast commitment to civic engagement and the advancement of art and design education.

Susan Hammer practiced law for over 40 years with the last half of her career devoted to dispute resolution. After embarking on her law career in Portland in 1978 at Stoel Rives LLP, Susan quickly became involved in the local community, leading her to become the first female president of the Multnomah Bar Association.

In 1998, Susan left the world of litigation to start her own

mediation practice, where she mediated commercial and public policy disputes until 2018. A longtime civic leader, Susan has served on a variety of boards in the region throughout her career, including Planned Parenthood of the Columbia Willamette, PNCA, Willamette University, Ecotrust, the City Club of Portland, Literary Arts, and Oregon Public Broadcasting.

Susan Hammer Spotlight

Being a civic leader is in Susan Hammer’s DNA. The daughter of parents who were intimately involved in their local community, Susan learned early on that there’s great joy and meaning to be found in working to actualize a better world for all. Looking back on her 40-plusyear career spanning roles as a lawyer, mediator, board member and civic leader, it’s clear that those early lessons stuck, and have indeed helped her make the world a better place – especially in Portland and at PNCA. Susan joined the PNCA board with the hope of using her experience with higher education to further arts education. Over the years, she has experienced Lee Kelly’s powerful creative practice, his work ethic and his joy in making art. She wanted to help younger emerging artists have that experience and share their work with the community. Her love

for the students, board and staff of PNCA have sustained her interest over the years.

Susan’s service on the PNCA Board of Governors from 2011 to 2018 was vital to navigating the school through major periods of change. She chaired the presidential search committee for former PNCA President Don Tuski and led the Board Development Committee during the college’s transition to the Arlene & Harold Schnitzer Center for Art and Design campus. Her ability to serve as a community connector by linking the outside world to PNCA proved instrumental to the college’s success and growth.

While winding down external demands and directing more attention to her internally driven creative practice, there’s one thing that will likely never change: Susan’s sustained drive to improve her community and support the arts.

Wise Curious Reflective

“Susan is a dear friend, mentor, and trusted confidant. A fellow child of the 60s, we share the same passion for equal rights and activism in the communities in which we live.

In many ways, Susan has a scholar’s approach to everything that she does – fueled by her law career – that goes a step beyond the norm; she is keen to bounce ideas off of people, unafraid to spend ample time in reflection. This skill set underlies a creative approach, marrying rigor and vision to yield the most powerful creative solutions possible.

Through her partnership with Lee, Susan has obtained a deep understanding of what it means to be an artist and live a life of creative practice. She takes every opportunity possible to use that knowledge to advance Portland’s creative community. Her support of PNCA and service on the Board of Governors has helped the college survive periods of major change and growth. I do not know what I – and the rest of our community – would have done without her counsel, support, enthusiasm and friendship throughout the years.”

SALLY LAWRENCE PRESIDENT’S AWARD

Lee Kelly SALLY LAWRENCE PRESIDENT’S AWARD

Named in honor of PNCA President Emerita, Sally Lawrence, this award recognizes individuals who demonstrate a steadfast commitment to civic engagement and the advancement of art and design education.

Lee Kelly ’59 is one of the most revered artists in the Pacific Northwest, best known for his monumental public sculptures throughout Oregon and the surrounding region. Born in 1932 in McCall, Idaho, Lee Kelly graduated from the Museum Art School at the Portland Art Museum (now known as Pacific Northwest College of Art) in 1959. Kelly’s long, prestigious, and prolific career has resulted in a significant body of work which can be seen in public and private collections throughout the country, including the Portland Art Museum (Portland, OR), Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA), New Orleans Art Museum (New Orleans, LA), Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), and the City of Sapporo, Japan.

As one of the most recognized artists in the Northwest, his modernist sculptures are a central focus at regional institutions such as Reed College, Marylhurst University, Oregon State University, Catlin Gabel School, Oregon Health & Science University, and the Washington Park Rose Garden. In 2012, one of his most significant works, Memory 99, was installed in Portland’s North Park Blocks, at the new home of PNCA. Kelly has been exhibiting at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery since the early 1980s. In 2010, he was the subject of a major career retrospective at the Portland Art Museum.

Lee Kelly Spotlight

Lee Kelly is Oregon’s sculptor. At PNCA, he is family. The mission of the college is to prepare our students for a life of creative practice as citizen artists who engage in critical dialogue from multiple perspectives.

Lee embodies the qualities and values of PNCA. His work is influenced by his world travels with his partner of many years, Susan Hammer. Together they make each project a new adventure. Fueled by curiosity, Lee has lived a life of creativity, intentionally.

Creativity is a constantly evolving process.

Acknowledging that the hardest part about being an artist is staying focused regardless of whether you have a project to support you financially. It’s important to have the idea before the opportunity presents itself.

In 2015 Lee established a residency program at his Leland Iron Works property in Oregon City to provide emerging artists opportunities to experience a studio environment and explore their practice.

To Lee, receiving an award named after Sally Lawrence is an honor, recalling her gracefulness and the manner in which she grew with every challenge as the college evolved under her tenure. It is vital to the community to have a strong, regional art school. It is because of extraordinary people such as Sally Lawrence and Lee Kelly that PNCA is considered incredibly important to the region. And to this man of few words, when asked of his involvement with PNCA and what it means to accept this award with his partner of over thirty years, he simply says: “Susan Hammer is extraordinary.”

Focused Energized Confident Collaborator

“I have known Lee Kelly for more than fifty years, time enough to witness a formidable trajectory. First, a painter of large abstract canvases; then launching himself into three-dimensions with implacable metal structures. Sculpture has to stand up for itself: woe to you if it falls over. Figuring the angles, cutting, joining, welding, supporting the weight. Some clambering around in the upper reaches of these pieces, while reconfiguring sections he didn’t like: sometimes cannibalizing older pieces. He was climbing his own frozen waterfall, using modern industrial tools, hoists and cranes. All the while teaching himself spontaneous engineering in order to train assistants and collaborators, including family members. And then, to learn something new for the next project. After all, what is the meaning of larger-than-life rectilinear solids interspersed with elephant tusks, enormous carving shards with spaces to look through as you walk around them??

Well, it’s our human dance: rusty orange corten or shining steel catching wild sunlight, all casting delicious shadows.

Lee – we stand in awe!”

SALLY LAWRENCE PRESIDENT’S AWARD

Sharita Towne AWARD FOR ART AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

This award honors individuals whose work responds to the societal issues of racism and cultural intolerance and exemplifies the values and advocacy for cultural diversity, inclusion and social justice.

As an artist, Sharita Towne’s interests lie in unpacking the inherited struggles of past burdens and in affording collective catharsis. Through collaboration, stereophotography, printmaking, video, and community art projects, she’s worked at memorials in Germany; in the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria; Brazil; in gentrifying cities like Portland, Oregon and New Orleans; in schools,

museums, and neighborhoods; and within her own family. She received a BFA from UC Berkeley and an MFA from Portland State University. She currently teaches at Pacific Northwest College of Art, works in the DIY printmaking and audiovisual collective URe:AD Press, performs in the postcolonial conceptual karaoke band Weird Allan Kaprow, and is a 2016 Art Matters grant recipient.

Sharita Towne Spotlight

Diaspora pervades Sharita Towne’s creative practice. Long fascinated by the way that Black people both stay put and move through space and time, her career has taken her around the world, from working as a teaching assistant on a Fulbright grant in Brazil to assisting refugee camps in Algeria.

For Sharita, receiving an award for work that responds to the societal issues of racism and cultural intolerance is important, and highlights the crucial role of schools in advocating for the same values.

Any hub of education has a social responsibility to examine history, highlight cases of people actively trying to create change for the better, and work to create similar waves in its own community.

In her role working with PNCA students on their BFA Thesis, Sharita plays a crucial part in making those waves by pointing her students toward information that embeds them in a larger history. By providing the context necessary to understand why something like gentrification happens, she is able to lay down a foundation that will prove highly generative for them as artists.

As Sharita puts it, we can only be exposed to so much info; to hand a young artist a book or article and say, ‘you’re not the first person who thought of this,’ is hugely impactful. There’s a notion that artists have to be original to be creative, but by showing her students that their work can fit into already established frames of thought, Sharita flips that perspective.

Tireless Adventurous Passionate Thoughtful Committed

“Sharita’s work goes beyond self-expression. It provides her audience with a time, a place, a structure, a friend; multiple ways in which one can politically and emotionally contend with the past and present realities of social injustice.

Her being is connected to a singular mission of working to leave the Earth a better place than she found it. Sharita has endeavored and succeeded many times in securing funding for collaborative projects that support not only her work, but the work of traditionally marginalized cultural producers.

Sharita’s leadership has influenced everyone she has ever worked with, myself included. Working with her has pushed me to further my work as a facilitating curator for social justice and to involve myself at the policy level. Her drive and work ethic are contagious, and often result in those around her going the extra mile to support others.”

AWARD FOR ART AND SOCIAL JUSTICE

Hallie Ford Award for Outstanding Vision and Philanthropy

Honoring the legacy of Hallie Brown Ford, a transformational and visionary philanthropist, this award recognizes individuals and organizations whose advocacy and support

for education and the arts advances the enduring capacity of the creative spirit.

Princess Grace Foundation The Princess Grace Foundation – USA is dedicated to elevating extraordinary emerging artists in theater, dance, and film via awards in the form of grants, scholarships, and fellowships. Their awards program continues the legacy of Princess Grace (Kelly) by advancing excellence in the arts in America. Established in 1982 by His Serene Highness Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the Foundation was created to honor the legacy of His wife, Her Serene Highness Princess Grace (Grace Kelly), an independent American woman, Oscar-winning Hollywood icon, and the globally beloved Princess of Monaco. After Her tragic death, Her family wanted to create an organization that reflected Her love for Her native country and Her profound dedication to the arts. During Her reign, Princess Grace brought arts and culture to Monaco while also quietly supporting countless American performing and film artists. This is the legacy that inspires the Foundation’s mission.

The Princess Grace Awards continues that noble legacy, activating arts patrons from around the world and empowering the diverse, inspiring, and extraordinary artists who have received the performing arts’ most distinctive honors – Academy Awards, Tony Awards, MacArthur Genius Awards, Pulitzer Prizes – and who are shaping the American cultural landscape. The Princess Grace Foundation has enjoyed a long relationship with Pacific Northwest College of Art and has been thrilled to recognize so many of its talented students, including faculty member Rose Bond, Emily Hyde ’15, Kendal Hockin ’14, Beryl Allee ’16, John Summerson ’16, Pamela Guest ’18 and Daniela Repas ’08, MFA ’20.

Princess Grace Foundation Spotlight

Few organizations can say they support the worlds of theater, dance and film like the Princess Grace Foundation - USA. A Princess Grace Award provides critical financial support to many artists early in their careers, and is often the first major award to launch their practice.

Many awardees have told Diana Kemppainen – the Foundation’s program director – that the validation of being recognized for excellence is equally, if not more, valuable than the funding.

Still, the Foundation has a keen awareness and understanding of the fact that the artistic journey, even for commercially successful artists, is often filled with hurdles and challenges.

As such, Diana says, the organization feels responsible to invest in artists’ careers at the outset, and then become a persistent source of support to them throughout their journeys.

This approach is, to say the least, unique. Across all fields, professionals are fortunate to receive even a single award in their lifetime, and if they do, it’s not typically an enduring relationship. That simply is not the case with the Foundation – once they give an artist an Award, they are fully invested in their practice and career moving forward.

During a difficult time of uncertainty in the world, Diana says it’s especially meaningful for the Foundation to receive an award in turn from an organization like PNCA that exemplifies the vision of Hallie Brown Ford, a transformational philanthropist and passionate supporter of artists.

Sustaining Connected Theatrical Glamorous

“When I received my first award from the Princess Grace Foundation as a grad student in 1989, I was flown to New York for a big party. I expected just another networking event until I was approached by a man from the Foundation, who proceeded to tell me how much the panel loved my film. He began to talk about individual shots from the film. It was amazing, I could tell he really had seen my work and that it had truly impacted him.

That really hit home. The fact that through all the glitz and glamor of the event, the Foundation truly cared about me and my work. And that’s remained true throughout my career. The Princess Grace Foundation is family – they are keenly interested in the lives and careers of their awardees. Recipients of a Princess Grace Award become part of a lasting cadre consistently supported with professional growth grants and other opportunities. The Princess Grace Foundation helps artists succeed and stay connected, and for that they have my deepest respect and eternal gratitude.”

Rose Bond Animated Arts Department Head, Pacific Northwest College of Art Professor, Pacific Northwest College of Art Princess Grace Foundation Statue Awardee, 2008

Transformative Generous Kind

“The support of the Princess Grace Foundation has been a presence in my life ever since I received my award in 2014 – it’s not a one-time deal.

They really stick with you, which is a distinct trait in a large Foundation.

They’re incredibly transformative and open countless doors for young artists, providing them with the opportunity to grow their creative practice.

Moving out of 2020 will be a unique experience for a lot of artists, with much uncertainty about the future, so it’s really nice to know that I’m part of an organization whose purpose is to look out for artists who are just trying to stay afloat and continue making work professionally.

Kindness pervades the entire organization, which is filled with people who actually care and are doing incredible things for young artists entering the next stage of their careers. I’m forever grateful for their support.”

HALLIE FORD AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING VISION AND PHILANTHROPY

PNCA IMPACT AWARD

This award recognizes an individual whose support of the arts and higher education advances humanity, transforms the

lives of individuals, and has a profound impact on generations to come.

Kandis Brewer Nunn Kandis Brewer Nunn first engaged with The Ford Family Foundation in 2008 to guide the Visual Arts Program research and development with the foundation board and staff.

Her professional practice in strategic program development services has spanned 47 years in consultative and in-house roles. She was a member of the management teams of Pacific Development Inc./PacifiCorp, Harsch Investment Properties (working with Arlene, Harold, and Jordan Schnitzer on their family business and foundations), and two leading marketing

communications agencies before establishing her independent practice. Kandis has advised businesses from a range of industries including real estate, transportation and technology.

Her clients have also included government entities and Native American tribes. In later years, she focused more intensely on assisting foundations and nonprofit organizations, particularly those focused on arts and culture.

In addition to her professional practice, she has served in a leadership capacity on local, state and national boards and commissions since the early 1970s.

CENTER OF CREATIVITY AWARDS PACIFIC NORTHWEST COLLEGE OF ART

Kandis Brewer Nunn Spotlight

The big complicated, challenging pieces are inherently more interesting to Kandis Brewer Nunn, in part because they have the potential to have greater or lasting impact, or both.

First introduced to the arts by Arlene, Harold, and Jordan Schnitzer in the 1970s and through her tenure as a Senior Advisor to The Ford Family Foundation’s Visual Arts Program, Kandis has had a profound and lasting impact on Oregon artists and arts institutions.

The program, at times in collaboration with local, state, and national partners, supports creative work time and space, provides resources to artists at a crossroads in their practice, and makes investments in Oregon visual arts institutions.

There is a rich and deep breadth of artistic talent in Oregon. And yet, the visual arts ecology and the greater arts economy remain fragile. With a deep respect for the legacy of Hallie Brown Ford and her interest in and support of

regional artists and the people who deliver art and design education – while maintaining their own creative practice – Kandis accepted the assignment to work with the Foundation board and staff and a small group of arts leaders to develop and launch its Visual Arts Program.

This role provided the opportunity to work on the type of complex and potentially impactful initiative that ignited her on multiple levels and allowed her to act on one of her most valued interests: artists thriving and remaining in Oregon.

Her strategic vision for and principal oversight of the program, and her ability to engender collaborations, has contributed to one of the most significant efforts to shape and support the Oregon visual arts ecology.

Recognized in the arts community with respect and admiration, Kandis has been a catalyst for elevating the arts and empowering artists to advance their practice.

Observant Perceptive Strategic

“A vibrant arts ecology reflects the strength of a city. Kandis has immersed herself in the process of supporting and validating the arts, creating opportunities and building bridges to other cities and national voices. She has the ability to ask the right questions, engage multiple perspectives to develop the big picture, and the effectiveness to make it happen. Her strategic approach has always impressed me.

Humble

What Kandis has accomplished is profound and lasting. Her contributions within The Foundation’s Visual Arts Program have elevated the artistic voice of Portland. The visiting curator program has provided an incredible opportunity to introduce curators of national renown to our city and the state. She has worked tirelessly to connect the arts community locally, regionally and nationally. We are no longer isolated.”

Committed

Elizabeth Leach Owner, Elizabeth Leach Gallery

Attentive

Passionate Dedicated Available Engaged Selfless

“Kandis has a profound understanding of what it takes to stitch together a creative life. This includes the realities of surviving while also maintaining a robust studio habit. Being named a Ford Fellow was incredibly validating and imbued in me a sense of deep accountability to honor this level of recognition and financial support. It reminds me that I have a responsibility to keep working, to continue to educate, to stay visible and viable and to craft the long trajectory of a creative life. What I always find remarkable about Kandis is her ongoing inquiry, always asking what more she can do for artists. She has worked to imagine, build, and maintain a more vibrant and engaged culture of the arts here in our region. Her presence within our community is tangible. She has placed Portland within a larger national conversation.”

PNCA IMPACT AWARD

John Bishop ANTHONY AND PIETRO BELLUSCHI VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD

Recognizing the spirit of volunteerism exemplified by PNCA’s Board of Governors, this award honors an individual’s dedication to the mission of PNCA, to preserve and advance its legacy through engagement and volunteerism in service to the college.

John Bishop is President and Chief Executive Officer of Pendleton Woolen Mills.

Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, the company operates seven facilities and 41 retail stores. Pendleton products are sold in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan, and Korea.

John Bishop Spotlight

John Bishop has served on the Board of Governors at PNCA for the past decade.

Currently serving as the Board Secretary, he has been immersed within the college from multiple perspectives through his involvement in many Board committees, including Advancement, Enrollment, Core, Investment, Board Development, and Presidential Search Committees, including the most recent search, which he chaired.

Alongside his commitment to PNCA and the stewardship of the institution, John is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of Pendleton Woolen Mills, Inc., a now 6th-generation business that originated when his great-great-grandfather came to the Willamette Valley in 1863.

The overlap between these two worlds forms a rich perspective on his values of legacy, responsibility, civic engagement, and stewardship.

A query popular with Claremont McKenna MFA students, usually in an ironic context – Is it valid?

Is it interesting? – often comes back to John as he evaluates opportunities in business and elsewhere.

His intuitive nature to engage with new ways of thinking has been enriched by the diversity of perspectives and opinions at PNCA. His commitment to the college is driven by the belief that PNCA is the nucleus of the region’s cultural vibrancy and an important contributor to the creative community.

John’s capacity to stay focused while looking for creative solutions is an ever-present attribute in his involvement with Pendleton and PNCA. Recognizing the importance of change in continuing these legacies, John highly values and honors what was built by others while respecting the necessity of being relevant today. Grateful to the many people who have contributed their time and expertise over the years to PNCA, John’s leadership mantra aligns with a creative principle that one must adopt to remain relevant, always asking the questions: Is it valid? Is it interesting?

Generous Pragmatic Sensible Authority Kind Happy

“John Bishop is a cowboy at heart.

With a great sense of humor.

He embodies Oregon. He gets Portland.

I love John Bishop.

He is incredibly GENEROUS with time, money, and expertise.

Serving on many key committees, he first joined the Board of Governors in 2009 and now serves as a member of the Executive Committee.

John is an accomplished business executive with amazing insight.

He keeps us focused on the big picture.

With a pragmatic leadership quality.

Gently pushing back with insightful questions.

Unassuming and soft spoken.

A firm but loving manner.

When I have conversations with him, he listens intently and patiently (for those of you who know me, that is a skill!).

And when I’m done, he offers me a different perspective, that often makes me stop and reflect.

This is a sincere recognition from PNCA’s Board of Governors for his contributions to the college.

It is so appropriate to have this inaugural award for engagement and volunteerism in service to the college go to my friend, this man – John Bishop.

So understated and classic.

John Bishop is a great asset to the city, his family, friends and PNCA. He is amazing.

What more can I say.”
