Cleveland Institute of Art Annual Report 2016 – 2017
A Year of Honing Excellence
A Year of Honing Excellence / 2016 – 2017
Dear Friends, On behalf of the Board of Directors, I’d like to congratulate the students, faculty and staff of the Cleveland Institute of Art on a year of many successes in classrooms, meeting rooms, studios and in the community. Over the past year, we took a breath after the whirlwind of activity that was required to unify the campus leading up to the 2015 – 2016 academic year. But we also worked hard to set the stage for new kinds of progress. Among the most important 2016 – 2017 milestones reached by President + CEO Grafton Nunes, working with the Board, was solidification of plans for the residence hall now being built on the northeast corner of E. 117th Street and Euclid Avenue. The hall will open for fall of 2018, allowing us to provide on-campus housing for our students for the first two years of their career here at CIA. This will make it easier for them to continue to stay active in student life, and will provide parents and guardians an extra measure of assurance when their student chooses CIA. From a financial standpoint, I am proud of the hard work that Grafton and his leadership team have done in bringing CIA’s endowment draw toward the 5-percent goal. 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. This year, CIA celebrates its 135th birthday. As one of the many guardians of the college’s incredible legacy, I am keenly aware of what this institution means to previous generations of students and alumni. I am also passionate about its promises for future artists and designers. I hope you’ll find many opportunities to experience CIA, through the Reinberger Gallery, the Student Independent Exhibition, Spring Show, the Cinematheque and in our Continuing Education programs.

In times of success, invariably we point to specific relationships that made that success possible. In times of difficulty, those same relationships help buffer us from the headwinds. Community sustains us. The Cleveland Institute of Art’s 2016 – 2017 academic year was one of wonderful triumphs and some painful losses, as well as the in-between hours during which work, and lots of it, got done. Over and over again, CIA’s sense of shared community arose as a defining strength. With heavy hearts, we bid farewell to four irreplaceable members of our CIA family, all of whom passed away in the first half of 2017: Franny Taft, Julian Stanczak, Ed Mieczkowski and Dan Tranberg. Along with the sadness of these losses came heartfelt expressions of good will and love from colleagues, students and former students, and friends at other institutions. We continue to miss Julian, Franny, Ed and Dan deeply. All have left indelible marks on CIA, and for that we must also be thankful. As believers in the power of community and collaboration, we place them at the center of virtually every aspect of the work that goes on here at the college. In the all-important academic sphere, collaboration was greatly enhanced in the curriculum in 2016 – 2017 when we began requiring all students to earn at least three Engaged Practice credit hours in order to earn their degrees. That means they must work in designated courses or internships that involve external partners and real-world projects. Through these endeavors, they grow more fluent in the language of cooperation. Examples include ProjectFIND, in which students worked with artists from shelters to present an exhibition about homelessness called Open Doors Cleveland, and Animation students who created a series of web-based Care Bears episodes for American Greetings. With an eye toward doing well by our alumni, we engaged Cleveland Bridge Builders to conduct extensive interviews for a self-study of the college-alumni relationship. What we learned affirms much that we suspected but did not know, and we are at work on initiatives that will be meaningful to our CIA family. And in our efforts to build a sense of community within the campus, we continued some successful initiatives and looked for fresh opportunities. Faculty, staff and students attended our periodic lunchtime discussion series called Change the Conversation. We also launched the Staff Council, providing an environment where goals and concerns may be shared among staff and with college leadership. In addition, we continue to work closely with the Faculty Senate. In the following pages, you will read about more highlights from the year just completed. I hope you will agree that in the course of educating the next generation of artist and designers, CIA also is forging important connections.
Grafton J. Nunes President + CEO

A Year of Honing Excellence / 2016 – 2017
A year of working, playing and building for what’s next One of the hallmarks of a Cleveland Institute of Art education is that from Day One, students are treated — and begin to think — like the professionals they will become. A look back at the last academic year is a reminder of the wide array of projects and events that placed CIA firmly and proudly in a context where students demonstrated their creative problem-solving skills. A 2016 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers put leadership, the ability to work on a team, and communication and problem-solving skills at the top of a list of attributes that employers seek in job applicants. Here at CIA, as faculty members give students the tools to become exceptional in specific art or design disciplines, they also underscore the development of these very strengths. This is how CIA reliably turns out graduates who go on to compete in the national and international job market.
Beyond its core educational mission, the college also takes seriously the call to be a relevant and welcoming neighbor to the people and institutions of Northeast Ohio. Especially valuable are opportunities that bring people into the George Gund Building, from Reinberger Gallery exhibitions to Continuing Education classes, from the uncommonly good programming at the CIA Cinematheque to private events that showcase inspiring spaces filled with the work of students and alumni. In between convocation and commencement — and even during summer and holiday breaks — the faculty, staff and students at the Cleveland Institute of Art are always striving toward ever-evolving measures of excellence. Here are a few of the many fine moments that punctuated the year.
Chris Whittey and Grafton Nunes bestow an honorary degree on painter April Gornik during the 2017 commencement ceremony. Gornik delivered the address to graduating seniors.
Student Will Johnson was inspired by Sol LeWitt to make this 8-by-8-foot graphite wall drawing for his freshman charrette course, the Self and Other Voices. 2
African American Works on Paper opened March 31 in Reinberger Gallery, offering visitors a look at a collection of artworks made mostly in the 20th century. Works from the Cochran Collection anchored the show, which also contained pieces made by CIA alumni.
CIA alumnus Curlee Raven Holton ’89 visited during the opening of the exhibition Curlee Raven Holton: Journey, A Selection of 30 Works Over 30 Years, which opened in February. Holton also presented at the Lunch on Fridays lecture series. He studied drawing and printmaking at CIA and is now the David M. Linda Roth professor of Art at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania.
Art and heated competition combined splendidly in September during Glass Games 2016, a day of friendly fire among students from 13 collegiate art glass programs. CIA hosted the competition in conjunction with the Glass Art Society. A highlight for many was the presence of legendary glass artist and educator Henry Halem, who gave a lecture on the evolution of glass art. 3

Glass major Mike Mentz debuted his first solo exhibition, Coming with Age, as a part of CIA’s Creativity Works internship program. Made possible by the Fenn Educational Fund of the Cleveland Foundation, Creativity Works allows visual arts and crafts majors to design their own exhibition or other project with an external partner organization.
Welding class sparks fly as a student learns basic techniques through CIA’s Continuing Education course, Steel Fabrication: MIG Welding. Each year, more than 700 adults, students and teachers take advantage of CIA’s continuing education programs.
A longstanding CIA tradition is the Halloween party presented by Student Life. Unexpected costumes and food make this one of the best-attended events all year. 4
Instructors and students in the Transportation Design track of CIA’s Industrial Design program hosted high school students in an auto design symposium during the Greater Cleveland Auto Show in March. CIA alumnus Aaron Riggs ’12, a senior designer at General Motors, presented to students and helped critique an on-site design exercise.
Orientation leaders rev up incoming freshmen during orientation weekend activities. In addition to on-campus activities for new students, CIA has a mandatory, online summer orientation that begins in June and requires them to watch videos and complete tasks in preparation for their first days here.
Members of the Northeast Ohio homeless and home-secure communities came together through Open Doors Cleveland, an art project and exhibition launched by CIA students in a course called Project FIND. Unused doors were collected and turned into artwork. The doors were on display in two outdoor spaces, and visitors were encouraged to consider to bridge the gap that traditionally exists around housing insecurity.
Executives from Swagelok Company, a Solon-based manufacturer of parts and fittings, convened at CIA in October for a workshop in which Industrial Design students led the visitors through design-thinking exercises. It is part of an ongoing effort by Swagelok to stay flexible and forward-thinking in its operations.

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.
dean of faculty, and the steering committee chair for CIA’s membership renewal process with the National Association of Schools of Art and Design. She has lectured and presented scholarship widely in regard to the works of novelist Willa Cather and other American writers, and is a member of the venerable Novel Club of Cleveland.
Dr. Joyce Kessler has dedicated more than 23 years to the Cleveland Institute of Art.
Over the years she has mentored hundreds of students, founded the creative writing concentration, and played an important role in establishing what is now known as Biomedical Art. Linking the literature and visual culture has been important to her as a scholar, and as an educator speaking to future artists and designers.
She began her CIA career as a visiting lecturer in literature in 1994, and became an assistant professor of literature a year later. In her time here, Kessler has been a tireless leader, and held tenures as chair of Liberal Arts, faculty advocate, interim
Award for Service Board member Fran Belkin and CIA Senior Vice President of Business Affairs Almut Zvosec received the 2016 Awards for Service during the Burchfield Society dinner.
Fran joined the CIA Board of Directors in 2003 and has worked on virtually every committee since then. She is especially proud of her efforts on the CIA campus unification project, completed in 2015.
Born in Cleveland and raised in California, Belkin met her husband Jules on a blind date, and the two began a life together that has spanned more than 54 years. For much of that time, she worked behind the scenes at the legendary Belkin Productions.
She is an independent artist who creates three-dimensional forms that reflect an interest in the feminine. She has studied at Anderson Ranch in Colorado and studied metal casting at CIA.

She and Jules have a son, a daughter and five grandchildren.
Award for Service Al Zvosec joined the Cleveland Institute of Art as Vice President for Business Affairs in August 1991 and became the college’s chief financial officer several years later. Before CIA, she was Vice President and Controller of Cardinal Federal Savings Bank and worked for the regional CPA firm Hausser + Heintel. At CIA, she oversees the business operations of the college and is a member of the President’s cabinet.
Al takes pride in being perhaps the only staff member to have worked on the campus unification project from early planning through the 2015 move-in to the new facility. She and her husband Gary have a daughter, Emily. They live in Brecksville.
Award for Artistic Achievement Robert Jergens ’60 was the 2016 recipient of the Award for Artistic Achievement. From 1969 through 2000, Jergens was known to many as a demanding and gifted professor. He also taught design at Cooper Union in New York City, and design, drawing and printmaking at Yale University. After graduating from CIA in 1960, he won a scholarship to attend Yale. He won the Rome Prize for Painting in 1961, and a renewal in 1962. Other notable honors
include first prize in painting at the Mostra Universitaria Internazionale d’Arts Figurative in Rome, and multiple prizes at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s May Show. He also exhibited work at the 27th Biennial of Contemporary Painting, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Corcoran Gallery. Since 1998, Jergens has set up multiple scholarships each year for CIA students who are pursuing majors in crafts.

Decades of devotion First dean of students put collection to work for CIA
Ann Roulet’s eighth-floor apartment at Judson Manor offers a stunning view of Wade Lagoon, the Cleveland Museum of Art and Severance Hall. Yet she points out something else to visitors on a recent afternoon, something farther off in the distance but closer to her heart. “You can see the institute of art,” she says. “The new building is just terrific.” Roulet has a strong connection to that terrific new building. Six years ago, when she and her late husband, Norman, downsized from their 8,000-square-foot home in Shaker Heights to Judson Manor, they donated most of their art collection to CIA with the understanding that the pieces would be auctioned off to benefit the institute. That donation of more than 230 works of contemporary, African, Oceanic, and ethnographic art, along with myriad other contributions the Roulets made over the years, allowed for the Ann and Norman Roulet Student + Alumni Gallery to be built on the north side of CIA’s new George Gund Building. It is all a fitting legacy for Roulet, who was responsible for the establishment of CIA’s first student gallery 45 years ago. She arrived at the college in 1963 as a professor of English literature. In her classes, she highlighted James Joyce’s streamof-consciousness style and urged her students to adopt his mindfulness by journaling their lives and experiences. She quickly became a favorite on campus. In the early-1970s, in the wake of the shootings at Kent State University and with tensions rising on campuses across the nation, the CIA administrators began looking for ways to reach out, connect and communicate with students. In 1972, Roulet was appointed dean of students. “I could communicate with students. They knew me,” she calls. “If they had something they wanted to talk about or needed someone to talk to, they could just walk into my office.” Soon after becoming dean of students, Roulet convinced CIA President Joseph McCullough to give her a first-floor room in one of the houses the college owned adjacent to the old building. With new carpeting and furniture — paid for with funds she personally secured from the trustees — she turned that room into CIA’s first student gallery.

“Every week or every month, they would go and repaint and hang their work,” she remembers. “It was totally student-run. No one told them what to do. There was no faculty involvement at all.” Roulet made it a point to buy students’ artwork at their shows. And after every semester, she’d invite students into her home for a celebration. The artwork on display at the Roulets’— collected from decades of overseas travels — spurred conversation and fascination. Other changes during her tenure as dean of students ranged from the important (securing health insurance coverage for students) to the symbolic (replacing the lemonade and cookies at commencement with wine and cheese). During the 2016 – 2017 academic year, exhibitions in the Roulet gallery have included one by former CIA Glass major Kari Russell-Pool ’90, shows by CIA technical specialists and by Alternative Photography students, and a special exhibition by painter and printmaker Curlee Raven Holton ’89. The bright, intimate space makes room for the kinds of conversations that Roulet encouraged almost from the start of her tenure at CIA. “I have such great feelings for the institute and what it does,” Roulet says. “The gallery is in a very good spot. It’s right there in the front where people can see it.” And well within view of her eighth-story window.
New inspiration every day Fiat Chrysler’s Dehner feeds CIA connection
After he graduated in 1988, Industrial Design major Joe Dehner was hired as a junior designer at Chrysler, and he has made his career there ever since. In 2007, he became Vice President/Car, Minivan, CUV Interior and Exterior Design. After the 2009 Fiat/ Chrysler merger, he became Head of Ram and Dodge Exterior Design. Today, Dehner is Head of Ram and Mopar Exterior Design. In an interview, he described what keeps him going in the industry, and what feeds his continued enthusiasm for the Cleveland Institute of Art. Can you say a little about a favorite recent project you have been working on? I can’t talk about future FCA products, but one recent project we revealed was the 2016 Ram Rebel TRX concept. We debuted it in October 2016 at the State Fair of Texas. TRX was a fully functional, full running, off-road concept truck that showcased the latest Ram design language — think current Ram Rebel on steroids. The end result was visually amazing. The design, engineering and fabrication team that created it was small, enthusiastic and empowered. A great experience, start to finish! You’re almost 30 years into your career in transportation design. What sustains your interest? Change. Technology. New forms of mobility. New ways of thinking. Every day is a new set of design challenges met with new sources of design inspiration.
Widespread use of driverless cars: Inevitable and good, or not so much? The self-driving — or more recently, the autonomous — car concept isn’t a new idea. Conceptually, the idea dates back to the 1950s or earlier. New technology and public acceptance are the enablers of this emerging trend. I think it is a good thing in measured doses. It’s not for everyone. But for people who multi-task, don’t enjoy driving, are visually impaired or physically challenged, it opens up a whole new world for them that didn’t previously exist. This new form of mobility also has the potential to usher in an all-new design aesthetic that has never been seen before. It’s exciting times. You graduated in 1988. Did you feel the urge to stay involved with CIA right after you graduated? I became involved with CIA around 1990. Chrysler Design was looking to reach out to more automotive design schools in an attempt to expand and diversify its design staff. Historically, CIA has always placed new hire graduates within the automotive OEMs. Chrysler wanted that trend to continue, but on a more consistent basis and potentially, higher volume. You’ve been a consistent financial contributor to CIA over the years. Have you funneled your donations to specific areas? No, not specifically. Obviously, the majority of it goes to the Industrial Design Department. But the school is a “village,” and everyone benefits and learns from one another, regardless of where and how monies are dispersed. How long have you been involved with the sponsored car-design classes, and what do you get out of doing that? Since 1990. Where do I start? Personally, it keeps me current with emerging design and technology trends. Additionally, I like to work creatively with “young, unpolluted minds.” Also, with CIA being a global institution, they attract students from all corners of the earth. This diverse, “one room school house” approach enriches the students’ learning experience and ours as well! Lastly, it gives us a chance to scout out new talent from the school. I always remind the students that their job interview starts as soon as the FCA sponsored project kicks off. Are the students of today’s ID department any different than you were back in the ’80s? Times change, but fundamentally, the students are pretty much the same. Today, they are more digitally savvy and much more diverse, which is great! However, CIA students are a different breed compared to students from some of the other automotive design schools. I consistently see CIA students who are creative, hard-working, problem solvers who can work both singularly and in team environments. These are traits you are fortunate to be born with or you learn early in life. They are traits that can’t always be taught.

2016 – 2017 Financial Summary CIA’s primary source of income is tuition and fees, net of financial aid, which represents 70 percent of operating revenues. The fall 2016 total enrollment was 624 enrolled students, which included 188 new first-year and transfer students. Progress on the long-range enrollment target of 650 students is continuing with our total current year enrollment of 637 enrolled students being one of the highest in our history. At CIA we recognize the significant financial investment for education made by our students and families and as a result have kept tuition and fee increases below national averages for the last several years. Annual fund giving represents 6 percent of the 2016 – 2017 operating revenue, while support from government grants, current year restricted grants and endowment support totaled 14 percent of the 2016 – 2017 operating revenue. Endowment support includes distributions from endowment funds held in trust and distributions from the CIA managed portfolio. A majority of the endowment distributions are used for need- and merit-based financial aid.
Auxiliary enterprises represent 9 percent of total operating revenues and include the Cinematheque film program and student housing. In 2016 – 2017 the college spent 36 percent of its operating budget on instructional programs, 15 percent on academic support, 14 percent for student services, 25 percent for Institutional support and 10 percent for auxiliary enterprises.
