Language and writing have always been important components of the University’s curriculum and of the art that is made here. Our graphic designers—and before them, the students and faculty of advertising design—have sought to integrate image and word, through design, in order to convey meaningful messages. Aspiring directors and actors have had to grapple with scripts—just as singers have interpreted lyrics and illustrators their texts.

But somehow, writing has never been a primary focus of study here—this, despite a group of alumni who have distinguished themselves in the verbal arts, including novelist Russell Hoban, composer-lyricist Marc Blitzstein, cartoonist Arnold Roth, and the filmmakers the Quay Brothers, who have adapted Franz Kafka, Bruno Schulz and Robert Walser.

This year, that will change. We have welcomed our first class of nearly a dozen creative writers, who will join a group of visual and performing artists pursuing writing through the minor program. And we embark on the first full year of partnership with The American Poetry Review, one of the nation’s most significant publications in the field of poetry.

We look forward to many more graduates in the coming years joining the likes of Derek Dressler and Michael Dawson—profiled in this issue—in seeking to make a name for themselves in the field of writing.

There’s much more in this issue of Edge, including news from the University and news from our alumni. But you will also find our annual Donor Report, an important opportunity for the University to recognize and thank its many committed and generous friends. We are truly grateful for the support they have provided over the past year, and for their continuing commitment to the University of the Arts’ mission of educating the next generation of innovative visual and performing artists, designers, and writers. j a s o n c h e n ’08

In this edition of Edge, we delve into the fertile field of writing and language-related art, as we celebrate the launch of the University’s new BFA in Creative Writing program. We look at the evolution of writing as an art form and of writing programs, and we examine the unique and exciting creative environment in which writing students are immersed here at UArts.

We also profile several alumni who have used their artistic backgrounds and experiences to find success in a variety of realms of writing.

As always, I welcome your feedback and your suggestions for future stories.

Warm regards,

The Art of Language UArts Writes a New Chapter in the Story of Words as Art-Making Material Taking seriously the view that language—no less than paint, clay, stone, film, sound and gesture—is a medium for art, the University of the Arts this fall launches its first Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program within the Division of Liberal Arts: the BFA in Creative Writing.

It may seem like a revolutionary idea, but in truth this notion of language as itself a kind of art material has been around for an extremely long time— at least as long as the Book of Kells, say.

Indeed, the evidence of countless songs, operas, films, plays and musicals overwhelmingly testifies that viewing language as an art medium is neither particularly new nor especially radical—though the idea of studying writing in art school is sometimes seen as both. Yet as the work of contemporary artists like Kenneth Goldsmith, Tom Phillips and Barbara Kruger makes clear, a plastic approach to language—an approach emphasizing that the how (the look and sound of individual words and phrases) matters just as much as the what (the message those words and phrases convey)—can produce startlingly beautiful and provocative art. And from Gertrude Stein’s Three

Lives to Robert Rauschenberg’s XXXIV Drawings for Dante’s Inferno to Bill T. Jones’s “Last Supper at Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” writers have been just as eager to turn to “non-literary” techniques to “make it new” as visual and performing artists have been keen to find stories to tell through color, sound and gesture.

“Viewed in the light of several centuries’ worth of astonishingly fertile creative traffic between writers and other artists, the establishment of a writing program within a visual and performing arts university begins to seem less a groundbreaking gesture than a long-overdue acknowledgment of the hybrid, cross-disciplinary and collaborative nature not only of much artwork, but of the creative process itself,” says Liberal Arts Division Dean Catherine Kodat. “Literary history suggests that successful writers are, aesthetically speaking, an omnivorous bunch: the fuel for a new novel or poem is as likely to be found in a gallery, museum or concert hall as in a library. Writers often need more inspiration for their art than the work of other writers; they need the work of other artists, as well.”

L a n g u a ge i s a med iu m for a r t — no les s t h a n pa i nt , c l ay, stone, f i l m, sou nd a nd g est u re.

This view of the writer as artist—of language as material for art—is not, as we’ve seen, in itself all that new.

But it is a newly liberal understanding of art, artists and arts education, one opening onto an exciting new chapter in the continuing history of the liberal arts at the University of the Arts. Increasingly, young artists

Acclaimed Author Joyce Carol Oates Opens UArts’ Visiting Writers Series National Book Award winner and bestselling author Joyce Carol Oates inaugurates the University of the Arts’ new Visiting Writers Series that kicks off in fall 2013. In connection with the University’s newly launched Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program, the series will feature six acclaimed contemporary writers visiting the UArts campus each year.

These distinguished poets, novelists and short story writers will give readings—all of which are free and open to the public. Joyce Carol Oates’ reading is co-sponsored

by The American Poetry Review.

Oates is the author of more than 70 books, including award-winning novels and critically acclaimed short story collections, as well as essays, plays, poetry and a recent memoir, A Widow’s Story. Best known for her fiction, her novels include them, which won the National Book Award, and We Were the Mulvaneys, an Oprah’s Book Club selection and national bestseller.

She received the National Humanities Medal in 2010.

are expected not only to be good at what they do, but also to be good at explaining what they do—at describing how their work responds to history and relates to the community. Technical facility is not enough; today’s artist must also be a well-informed and articulate advocate for the arts and for their role in the world.

“So in 2010, when we in Liberal Arts began considering the design of a potential BFA in Creative Writing, we asked ourselves, ‘What would such a program look like here?’” says Creative Writing Program Director Elise Juska. “How could it reflect what and who we are—and who we’re not?”

The resulting Creative Writing major, like other degree programs at UArts, approaches its subject first and foremost as a craft. Creative Writing students will be taught to read as writers—noticing the construction of the sentence, the pacing of an ending, the meter of a line. The curriculum is both flexible and focused, as students start by taking yearlong introductory courses in contemporary poetry and short fiction and then choose a concentration in the sophomore year.

That focus intensifies as Creative Writing majors move on to more rigorous upper-level workshops, but at the same time, they can continue sampling other genres.

08

edge

These elective courses will be open to both writers and students in other majors, including animators, choreographers, illustrators and composers; for many UArts students, the art of telling stories is a relevant aspect of their work.

This unique artistic community is another defining feature on which the University’s Writing program sought to capitalize. All Creative Writing majors are required to undertake a collaborative project with a student in another discipline during their junior year.

“We saw the exciting results of such cross-curricular work in the Spring 2013 issue of our undergraduate literary magazine Underground Pool, in which each of the seven short stories was illustrated by a junior or senior majoring in Illustration,” says Juska. “These illustrated stories marked the beginning of an inspiring new collaboration, the kind that’s distinctly reflective of UArts.”

Juska says that early in the school year, she and her students talk about “auspicious beginnings”: the first paragraphs and pages that draw readers into a short story and, whether because they are so inventive or gripping or authentic, make them want to read on.

“The launch of the new Creative Writing program at UArts strikes me as just such a beginning,” she says.

“Unique and compelling, the kind that makes you want to see what will happen next.”

Prestigious Poetry Journal Takes Up Residence at UArts As UArts launches its new BFA in Creative Writing program, an affiliation with a distinguished literary publication is helping to further enhance the experience of writing students. In January 2013, The American Poetry Review (APR) began a formal relationship with the University, moving into office space in Hamilton Hall.

APR was founded in 1972 in Philadelphia, quickly becoming the most widely circulated poetry magazine in the U.S., offering interviews, literary essays and essays on social issues, translations, fiction, reviews, and poetry by distinguished authors, writers working in new forms of contemporary literature, younger poets and writers from other cultures. The magazine has featured the work of more than 1,500 writers, including nine Nobel Prize laureates and 33 Pulitzer Prize winners.

The affiliation makes perfect sense, according to Steve Berg, APR’s founder and editor, and a longtime UArts Liberal Arts professor. “It’s such an obvious connection, to have the leading poetry magazine embedded in this academic and social milieu,” he says. “It brings the magazine new usefulness—UArts’ connection to a leading literary magazine helps to attract strong students, and it brings those students closer to the actual publishing world through internships here.”

M i C h a e l D a w s o n M M ’ 0 4 ( J a z z s t u D i e s ) had read Modern Drummer magazine, the world’s most popular publication for drummers, for years. He just never imagined that one day he’d be helping to create it.

But that’s exactly what the musician and School of Music faculty member is doing as Modern Drummer’s managing editor. “Interviewing, writing and editing allow me to interact with creative minds on a different basis,” he says. “And writing and playing are surprisingly similar. A good story has a flow—a beginning, a middle and a climax— just like a good solo.”

School of Music faculty member Michael Dawson MM ‘04 (Jazz Studies) is managing editor of Modern Drummer, the world’s leading magazine for drummers.

His path to the role of leading music journalist began with a course he took during his graduate studies at UArts. “I did a transcription project for [Music Professor] Don Glanden,” he says, “and he urged me to give it to Modern Drummer’s senior editor.

They published it, and the editor-in-chief asked me to come up to interview for a job.”

He’s been at the magazine for nine years now, spending a couple of years as associate editor and eventually stepping into the role of managing editor.

A good story has a flow—just like a good solo.

“When I first started out, it was an intimidating transition,” he says.

“I began studying style manuals, but I had a passion for the content, so I learned on the fly.”

Dawson says that in his career as a magazine writer, he’s had to focus on telling compelling, engaging and informative stories as concisely as possible, self-editing and rewriting in order to make the stories flow well within the parameters of the assignments. And that’s had an unexpected ripple effect.

“This has had a major influence on how I approach drumming and composing,” he says.

“Whenever I’m writing a song or coming up with a drum track for an artist’s music, I’m much more conscious about what I’m playing so that it best serves the music at all times. My goal now is to make every note count, just as every character in a 100-word CD review carries a tremendous amount of weight.”

Dawson also sees his knowledge of musical form as incredibly valuable in shaping his writing. “I recently wrote a 500-word news story about a clinic tour by three artists,” he says. “Artist A is the drummer in an internationally recognized band, artist B is a highly respected educator and artist C is an up-and-coming star who recently won a national drum contest. I wanted to include quotes from each of them in the report, but given the word restriction, I had to be very deliberate about how I used them. I decided to use a common musical form as my overall architecture—ABCAB. I wanted to capitalize on the star power of artist A, so I used his quote first. I followed his quote with one from artist B to add some depth to the article. I then grabbed a slightly longer quote from artist C. This acted liked the bridge in a song, which often functions as a slight detour from the main theme. I concluded the piece by returning to quotes from artists A and B.” His advice to current Music students? “Don’t take a job unless you’re willing to throw yourself into it 100 percent. Look yourself in the mirror, see what you’re good at and what you’re not, and ask yourself if you’re willing to work at it. Mine certainly wasn’t a linear path, but my dual careers in music and writing are a perfect fit.”

You think you’re busy? Try keeping up with t o B y z i n M a n for a few days.

Liberal Arts Professor Toby Zinman (above), and teaching a class in dramatic literature (left).

By day, the longtime Liberal Arts professor teaches dramatic literature to her UArts students. Her “night job” takes her to theaters across Philadelphia and beyond as an award-winning theater critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer. Her third career—as an adventure-travel writer—has involved dogsledding trips in the Yukon, zip-lining the rainforest in Belize, fishing for piranha in the Amazon, walking coast-to-coast across England and rounding up cattle on horseback in the Australian Outback. Oh, and for good measure, she’s finishing up her fifth book.

“I’m restless,” says Zinman.

Make connections, test out ideas, ar ticulate thoughts.

The interconnection between her worlds benefits her UArts students.

“They read these contemporary works, we discuss them in-depth and they write about them,” she says.

“I review shows in Philadelphia, New York and London, and I see practically everything, so the focus in my courses is very current—there’s a vitality and an authenticity there.

It’s that urgency that I enjoy.”

j a s o n c h e n ‘08

That immediacy also drives her role with The Philadelphia Inquirer, for which she was named one of America’s 12 most influential theater critics

by American Theatre magazine (she’s also written for The New York Times and The Times of London). “I love coming into a show with no preconceived ideas, then having to come to decisions quickly and bang out a review,” she says. “I try hard not to sound professorial in my reviews, but I can’t resist trying to teach someone something.”

In her UArts classroom, students, she says, “self-select” her admittedly challenging courses. “I’m a hard marker and I demand a lot in class discussions,” she says. “I believe that each class meeting should be an occasion for students to rise to. These are individuals who have developed other artistic talents over time and they know they can do other stuff—but often they’ve forgotten how smart they are in a purely intellectual way.

In discussions and in their writing, I try to help them make connections, test out ideas, articulate their thoughts.”

And they do write. In her contemporary novels course, she assigns 10 novels and six papers. “I believe the only way to become a better writer is to write. By the end of the semester they are better writers. It’s wonderful to see their faces when they get an ‘A.’” Many of Zinman’s students find the challenge rewarding. “A whole bunch of students who recently graduated had taken five courses with me,” she says. “You make a great connection—over time you get to know the motion of someone’s mind. They’re eager to learn things about the world. It’s very gratifying.”

Of all of the balls she continues to juggle in her several careers, that’s the one that really fires her passion. “Teaching at this level is the best job in the world,” she says with a smile.

D e r e k D r e s s l e r B F a ’ 0 5 ( w r i t i n g F o r F i l M & t e l e v i s i o n ) is on a roll. The writer of animated films and television shows recently completed a project with one of the biggest names in Hollywood, John Lassetter, the Academy Award-winning head of Disney Pixar Studios and the genius behind the films “Up,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Cars,” “A Bug’s Life,” “Finding Nemo,” “WALL-E,” the “Toy Story” series and more. And what they were working on was a brand-new series of animated shorts for Disney reintroducing the most iconic cartoon character of all time, Mickey Mouse.

Add to that his job developing TV pilots and DVD movies for Mattel—the toy company that’s sold more than $62 million worth of animated-film DVDs in the past three years— and you get the idea that things are going pretty well for this Writing for Film & Television alum.

Dressler’s talent for storytelling and his sense of humor have helped him move up from his start in the business doing what he describes as “grunt work” on the Disney Channel animated series “Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil” to serving as its head writer last season.

Derek Dressler BFA ’05 (Writing for Film & TV) relaxes during one of the few breaks in his busy Hollywood work schedule.

“In addition to majoring in Writing for Film & Television at UArts, I minored in Film,” says Dressler, “and a big part of that was working with actors and other students from different departments, learning the nature of collaboration. I took acting and musical theater classes, and I married an illustrator (M i r a n D a w e B B e r D r e s s l e r B F a ’ 0 6 [ i l l u s t r a t i o n ] ).”

All of that’s really paying off now.

“You have to be ready to collaborate—because in the studio system, you might rewrite a script again and again, then toss it out and start over,” he says.

“Because the faculty at UArts actually worked in the industry, that reality was drilled into my head—in a good way. Jeff Ryder can be incredibly blunt and he has no tolerance for BS. His instincts are honed by time served in the industry, and you learn very quickly to develop your own instincts.

It’s a very hard business, and if you don’t have that knowledge and visceral creative experience before going to California, you can get buried.”

You have to be ready to collaborate.

Another critical lesson he learned at UArts was making wise career choices.

“The key questions I ask are, ‘Can I commit to working on this project for an extended period of time?’ and ‘Is this something people will want to see?’”

And he’s chosen well. It was his storytelling ability and his brand of humor on “Kick Buttowski” that caught Mattel’s eye. And his work on the new Mickey Mouse shorts (airing now on Disney Channel) brought him together with Hollywood giant Lassetter, whose animated films have grossed almost $11 billion worldwide. “Story sessions were intimidating at first, but he’s such a great guy and always on target,” says Dressler. “His passion for storytelling and character is inspiring. When you’re creating stories for the most recognizable character in the world, always have John Lassetter in the room.”

So what comes next for him? “I’d like to eventually get into features—genre movies and TV projects,” he says. “A crazy movie I worked on just premiered at Cannes, ‘Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume 1,’ the sequel to Troma Entertainment’s 1986 cult classic ‘Class of Nuke ‘Em High.’

“I’ve worked on some fun stuff,” he says, “and it’s gotten a good response. Now I want to expand and push it further and work on things I enjoy that also have an audience.”

The Amazing Veronica Kablan

The real heroes of the movie don’t wear capes.

Larger than life and in glorious 3-D, Spider-Man swings through the canyons of Manhattan, on his way to an urgent—and unpleasant—date with a rampaging, mutated green villain known as the Lizard. Unbeknownst to the audience, however, the real heroes of the movie were hard at work behind the scenes for months before the film opened—and they don’t wear capes or shoot webs. Meet v e r o n i C a k a B l a n B F a ’ 0 6 ( F i l M ) , a visual effects coordinator for Sony Pictures Imageworks, and her fellow visual effects wizards.

Visual effects involve integrating live-action footage and generated imagery—animated characters or even entire worlds—that look astonishingly realistic. And Kablan’s helped to create that visual magic on a growing list of major films, most notably the blockbusters “The Amazing Spider-Man” and Disney’s “Oz the Great and Powerful,” which earned a combined $1.2 billion worldwide. She’s now working on “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (May 2, 2014), and she says that putting together such a movie is a huge undertaking.

Veronica Kablan BFA ’06 (Film) has worked as a visual effects coordinator on some of the biggest blockbusters of the past few years.

“Visual effects crews at Imageworks range from 150 to 200 people,” she says, “with teams of artists building models, animating characters and lighting computer-generated scenery.”

And the results can be spectacular. In “The Amazing Spider-Man,” for example, those iconic canyons of Manhattan? Not real. The shimmering Emerald City that an astonished wizard passes through for the first time in “Oz the Great and Powerful”? The product of many talented effects artists’ imaginations. And it takes a lot of work to make it so.

“As a visual effects coordinator, I often get to be involved from the very beginning of our production process, when our team focuses on finding a ‘look’ for the movie and builds a pipeline that can help us achieve that look,” she says. “I’m responsible for a ton of different things, from scheduling shots, to working with the artists, to taking part in marketing meetings—and it changes with every movie. There’s an incredible amount of project management involved.”

She credits her UArts experience with helping her develop a solid foundation, both technically and creatively, that still serves her well. “One of the things I loved most about my education at UArts was the broad scope of topics that were covered,” she says. “Having the opportunity to take classes that were outside of my niche—things like acting, dance, printmaking and writing—allowed me to develop the ability to think creatively in other areas of life. One thing that’s constant in filmmaking is change, so I rely on these creative thinking skills regularly to tackle the unexpected challenges that come my way.”

Kablan, who received an MFA in Producing from the American Film Institute in 2008, also minored in Photography in addition to majoring in Film and Digital Video at UArts.

“Both of those programs focused heavily on creating a base knowledge on how film works,” she says, “from how it reacts to light, how it is chemically processed, down to how to edit actual 16 millimeter film using a splicer and tape. Understanding those fundamentals has been incredibly useful throughout my career, both in visual effects and in my experience at the American Film Institute.”

She’s now hard at work on another likely blockbuster. “We’re working like crazy on ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2,’” she says. And she’s still amazed when she sits in a theater and sees for the first time a finished film she put so much into.

“I went to ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ with my parents, and when the credits rolled and my name came up, they jumped up and cheered,” she says. “It was really exciting.”

An Urban Oasis on South Broad

news feature an urban oasis on south broad

The University of the Arts has partnered with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) to bring a breath of fresh air to South Broad Street with the 2013 PHS Pop Up Garden.

Now in its third year, the garden opened May 20 on the University’s campus and includes the front of Hamilton Hall and the UArts-owned vacant lot across the street at 313 S. Broad Street, the centerpiece of the beautification project that houses a lush garden and a mobile beer garden.

The front of the space serves as PHS’s official welcome area, greened with trees, an elevated lawn area and flowering plants, enhanced with elements from the PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. The back of the lot hosts the beer garden with drinking and dining under a tree canopy amid twinkling market lights. Local craft beers, sangria, margaritas and root beer are on tap each evening and served alongside a selection of picnic-style menu items, light bites and desserts. UArts School of Music students and others provide special performances and programs during select afternoon hours.

Twinkling lights, a beer garden and food

by Top Chef Jose Garces’ catering group create a bit of magic on a summer’s eve.

In reviewing the Pop Up Garden, Philadelphia Inquirer architecture critic Inga Saffron wrote that “the pine tables give way to an ingenious amphitheater, carpentered from salvaged shipping pallets and softened by a mismatched riot of outdoor pillows.

Thus, the detritus of consumer culture has been repurposed in the interest of civic improvement. At night, strings of sparkling lights make it feel like summer will never end.”

Also included in the Pop Up project are tree plantings in the forecourt areas to the left and right of UArts’ Hamilton Hall steps, directly across Broad Street. The greenery is a small preview of a project in the planning stages that would transform Hamilton’s walled-off courtyard areas into a 3,500 square foot urban park, to be used by the University community and the general public. The park would feature seating, paved and planted areas, lighting for evening use, and sites for temporary art installations and public performances.

Wrought-iron fencing, which originally surrounded the spaces, would replace the low stone walls currently there. The project is an extension of UArts’ public art initiative, which currently includes installations on the platforms between the Hamilton Hall steps and the courtyard areas.

The PHS Pop Up Garden is open to visitors seven days a week through mid-October; it will bloom again next summer in a new location.

UArts Celebrates 135th Commencement

news feature c o m m e n c e m e n t 2 013

The University of the Arts’ 135th Commencement Ceremony began with a New Orleans-style jazz band from the School of Music leading the class of 2013 up Broad Street to the Academy of Music, where p r e s i D e n t s e a n t . B u F F i n g t o n presided over the May 16 celebration.

Keynote speaker, playwright Douglas Carter Beane, gave graduating seniors his list of “the seven things I wish someone had told me.”

Buffington opened the ceremony by telling the 566 graduating students to “invent your own future … you get to choose—over and over again—and each time you make a choice, you make the future, your future.”

After receiving an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts (HDFA) degree, Tony-nominated and Drama Desk-winning playwright and screenwriter D o u g l a s C a r t e r B e a n e delivered an uproarious keynote address peppered with incisive humor and wisdom.

Beane, who has two shows currently on Broadway—Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” which earned him a Best Book of a Musical Tony nomination, and “The Nance” starring Nathan Lane—began his speech by calling the graduates “magnificent, shining-like-chromium gorgeous bastards.” The “Sister Act” and “Xanadu” writer then thrilled the audience with his list of the “seven things I wish someone had told me” that included such revelations as “rich people have no taste,” “you have all the power” and “you are an artist,” urging them to “say it all the time in conversation, drives people nuts.”

Professor Emeritus k e n n e t h h i e B e r t , founder of the UArts Graphic Design department who served as its chair for 14 years, was also awarded an HDFA. Other honorees included Silver Star Alumni Award recipients k a t e F l a n n e r y B F a ’ 8 7 ( a C t i n g ) , who starred for nearly a decade as Meredith on NBC’s hit comedy “The Office,” and Coogi-sweater artist J a y s o n s C o t t M u s s o n B F a ’ 0 2 ( p h o t o g r a p h y ) , best known as his YouTube alter-ego “Hennessy Youngman.”

Flannery, who tweeted during the ceremony, “I am honoured to be @uarts in Philly commencement getting the Silver Star NOT for drinking,” also gave this Meredith-inspired advice to the soon-to-be alumni: “Don’t drink on the job.”

College of Art, Media & Design graduating senior C l a i r e k a l a l a B Fa ’13 (M u lt i D i s C i p l i n a r y F i n e a r t s ) delivered the valedictory address to her fellow classmates, telling them, “If there is one thing I would say to you … it is that above all else, I am so incredibly inspired by your ability to tell stories.

To have been invited into your work to witness all of the places that you have been, the people that you have met, the iterations of the beautiful, the dark and the uncanny.”

Called “the best graduation ceremony I have ever had the honor of attending” by a parent in a letter to The Philadelphia Inquirer, the 135th Commencement also featured a stellar performance by Vocal Performance majors and the Studio Ensemble, who brought the crowd to its feet with a soulful rendition of “With a Little Help from My Friends.” Irresistible dance troupe Alo Brasil closed the ceremony by leading the new graduates and their families back down Broad Street for a post-ceremony celebration at Hamilton Hall.

Award-Winning Author’s ‘Make Good Art’ Speech Still an Inspiration

The Return of Neil Gaiman

In addition to answering questions submitted by attendees, Gaiman was asked what his most fantastic mistake was: “What a great question … I kind of hope that my greatest mistake has not yet been made.

It would be really disappointing to go, ‘Oh, I’ve already made it.’ I really do enjoy, mostly, the process of getting out there and screwing up interestingly,” he said.

After the conversation, the audience was treated to a lively ukulele performance by Gaiman’s wife, singer/songwriter a M a n D a p a l M e r , which was followed by a book signing.

“And now go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here. Make good art.”

These are the final words from award-winning novelist n e i l g a i M a n ’s commencement address to 2012 University of the Arts graduates—a truly inspiring speech that became an international viral sensation and has since been released as a hardcover book titled Make Good Art. On May 14, the day of the book’s release, the Sandman and Coraline author sat down with UArts p r e s i D e n t s e a n t . B u F F i n g t o n for a Q&A session attended by more than 400 University community members, who listened with rapt attention to Gaiman’s insightful and humorous anecdotes.

A cover story in the May 15 issue of Philadelphia Weekly called the Chip Kidd-designed hardback “the year’s most anticipated new college grad gift book” and HuffPost Books named it a summer must-read.

Make Good Art was also featured in The Philadelphia Inquirer and on NPR. Named one of the best commencement speeches of 2012, Gaiman’s first-ever university address urging the young artists to “make good art” went viral with thousands of tweets, was viewed in more than 140 countries, translated into numerous languages, interpreted in illustration and cartoon quotes, and was featured online in numerous publications, including The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor and The Atlantic.

When asked, “What is great art?” Gaiman replied, “Great art to me is anything that provokes a deep, emotional reaction at the time that you hear it and then you can’t get it out of your head … with a book, it’s that moment where you put it down and you go ‘I’m not quite the same person that I was before I read that book. I’m not the same person I was before I saw this painting.’ That for me is great art,” he said.

“I’m not sure that there is any piece of art—good, bad, mediocre, great or ridiculous—that has been made in the history of this planet that absolutely everybody would agree is great art,” he continued. “And that’s wonderful. And that actually is the magic trick that allows artists of any kind to make a living.”

Music for “Ritual Cyclical” was composed and performed by the renowned Kronos Quartet. As the Times described the massive production, “Eighty dancers will prowl the lawn, climb a corrugated wall of the Metropolitan Opera House and splash in the pool …” In addition to a core group of experienced dancers such as Apicello, Dendy also cast a large number of volunteers, creating an unusual choreographic challenge in such a complex artistic environment.

Students from UArts’ MAT in Art Education program worked for a month this summer in Ghana with children from three schools there.

Alumni News Alumni Council Announces Membership Changes The Alumni Association has elected C a r r i e g a l B r a i t h M Fa ’ 01 ( B o o k a rt s / p r i n t M a k i n g) , nata s h a l e v i ta s B Fa ’ 0 0 ( D a n C e e D u C a t i o n ) and t J w a l s h B F a ’ 0 7 ( g r a p h i C D e s i g n ) to join the Alumni Council. These new members began their three-year terms on July 1, 2013.

The mission of the Alumni Council is to represent the alumni base of the University of the Arts, evaluate and support Alumni Relations programming and communication efforts, offer input and guidance in outreach to all alumni, provide leadership, and serve as advocates for the University.

Based in Oakland, Calif., Galbraith is a practicing fine artist and teaches at the City College of San Francisco, Mills College and California College of the Arts. Her international experience includes teaching book arts and printmaking in Italy as a postgraduate fellow, in Northern Ireland as artist-in-residence and in Romania as a Fulbright scholar. Her work combines her passion for history and archeology with her lifelong habit of journaling and utilizes a variety of mediums that include printmaking, photography and mixed media. She is excited to represent graduate alumni on the Alumni Council and serve as a UArts advocate on the West Coast to share with prospective students and their families about the caliber of faculty and energy of students at UArts.

Levitas is a registered dance/movement therapist working in settings such as long-term care facilities and retirement and assisted living communities in Philadelphia. Prior to being elected to the Alumni Council, she participated on an Alumni Career Panel during Alumni and Family Weekend and guest lectured at the School of Dance. She hopes to represent both traditional and non-traditional career paths within the arts and artsrelated fields on the Alumni Council. She looks forward to working with students and helping them realize their potential in the arts and beyond with their UArts training.

Walsh is an art director for a nationally based not-for-profit organization. He also has a private painting studio and has shown in and around the Philadelphia area. He is also president of the governing board for Stand Up Demand Action, a grassroots advocacy organization that fights to protect quality public education through the political budgetary process and by enabling communities to stay involved in their local school districts, a position he has held since 2012. He has been involved with the UArts alumni community since graduation, participating in panel discussions and volunteering to speak with prospective students and their families. He hopes to continue to actively communicate with prospective and current students and recent alumni about their journey at UArts and after.

He is a member of the Philadelphia American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Center for Emerging Visual Artists and InLiquid, a nonprofit organization committed to creating opportunities and exposure for visual artists.

Supporting UArts Challenge Sparks Tribute for Retiring Faculty Member/Alumnus

Dr. Donald R. Chittum

Trustee Harriet Weiss and her husband, Larry, challenged the UArts community last fall with a generous $200,000 matching gift to create new endowed scholarships for young artists. With a dollar-for-dollar match, the Weiss Challenge helped us to create eight new endowed scholarships in the first 12 months of the Challenge.

Alumni and trustees responded enthusiastically with a desire to not only give back, but to also honor friends, family and beloved faculty. In honor of longtime faculty member D r . D o n a l D r . C h i t t u M B M ’ 5 6 (Mus iC p e r For M a nC e), M M ’57 (Mus iC), D C ’ 6 3 ( M u s i C t h e o r y ), colleagues from the School of Music were inspired to create the Dr. Donald R. Chittum Scholarship Fund to benefit students from the School of Music.

Dr. Chittum received his doctorate in 1963 from the Philadelphia Musical Academy, now the University of the Arts, and went on to become an integral part of the institution. He will be retiring in October and his colleagues found the Weiss Challenge to be a wonderful way to recognize his contributions to the University.

“For more than 50 years, Dr. Chittum has educated, trained and inspired many thousands of musicians in the classrooms, practice rooms and rehearsal halls of the Philadelphia Musical Academy, Philadelphia College of Performing Arts and the University of the Arts,” says School of Music Director M a r C D i C C i a n i B M ’ 7 5 ( p e r C u s s i o n ) . “These students, who have gone on to enjoy successful careers in and out of the field of music, often site Dr. Chittum as the best teacher of any subject they ever had in helping them to learn important lessons not just about music, but about themselves.”

Alumni who are interested in contributing to the Chittum Scholarship Fund or who wish to participate in the Weiss Challenge are encouraged to contact Anisa Haidary at ahaidary@uarts.edu or 215-717-6147.

Connelly Foundation Establishes Student Advising Center The University of the Arts is proud to be the recipient of a $175,000 grant from the Connelly Foundation to establish a Student Advising Center. This generous grant will enable UArts to create a comprehensive program of student and career advising across disciplines, as well as help the University realize its plan to house all student support services under a single roof.

The Student Advising Center will be located on the fourth floor of the University’s Gerhman Hall.

By bringing Academic Support, Student Life, Counseling Services and Health Services together under one roof, this renovation will facilitate improved communication and coordination, and ultimately improved student outcomes.

39

We remain grateful for the Connelly Foundation’s longtime support, which has enabled the University to grow its scholarship program, renovate and expand student performance spaces, and address our most critical needs.

Its most recent grant to expand and improve Student Health Services significantly enhanced our ability to provide excellent health care on site. Development of an integrated and comprehensive Advising Center represents the next phase of our efforts to support our students.

The Guardian Angel Fund The Guardian Angel Fund was established in 2011 to provide small emergency grants to current students at the University of the Arts who are faced with unexpected costs or expenses.

The Fund is supported by generous annual donations from UArts alumni.

Any student with a financial or billing issue should always meet first with their Student Financial Aid counselor to ensure that there are no additional financial aid options available to them. Student Financial Services can assist eligible students with emergency loans of up to $100.

If these financial options are not available or insufficient, students may apply for a Guardian Angel grant, which can be used for unforeseen living expenses, educational supplies or other personal needs. Students are not expected to repay the funds they receive, which usually do not exceed $100. To apply for a Guardian Angel grant, students are asked to submit a brief statement that explains why they need a grant, the amount requested and how the funds would be used.

40

e . J o i M C n e i l l , a junior in the Music Business, Entrepreneurship & Technology program who received a grant from the fund, is grateful that the alumni-supported program was there when she needed it.

“As a recipient of the Guardian Angel Fund, I did not only receive a renewed sense of security in regards to my place at the University,” she says, “but I also received the opportunity to experience firsthand the unwavering support that the Alumni Association has for their current student body. I am extremely passionate about attending the University of the Arts, and to see that others in the UArts community cared just as much was very comforting.”

For information on how to support the Guardian Angel Fund, please contact Liz Saccardi, director of the UArts Annual Fund, at 215-717-6141 or esaccardi@uarts.edu.

In conjunction with his retrospective “Witness: The Art of Jerry Pinkney” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art from June 28 to September 22, the Free Library of Philadelphia also hosted “Drawing on the Reverse Side: The Art and Life of Jerry Pinkney” from June 24 to September 1. “Witness” features 100 finished pieces of art, most of them originals, dating

back to the early 1960s. The library exhibit uses documents and photographs to trace Pinkney’s Philadelphia roots, exploring his childhood and youth. Both exhibitions feature related programming, including panel sessions with Pinkney and his family reading passages from his books and giving their views of his life and work. Pinkney has illustrated more than 100 picture books and has received a Caldecott Medal, five Caldecott Honors and five Coretta Scott King Awards for his work.

His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including solo exhibitions in New York, Paris and Amherst. Reviews of Elster’s work have been printed in The New York Times, Artcritical and Kunstforum. k a ry n g e r r e D B Fa ’ 8 9 ( p a i n t i n g ) is the executive director of the Resource Exchange, a nonprofit creative reuse center in Philadelphia.

na n C y g a i l r i n g M Fa ’ 1 0 ( p a i n t i n g ) says, “I think the reason my work stands out is because of its conceptual strength, something that I gleaned from my education at the University of the Arts. My work is purposely varied in medium, technique and style to express ideas about the transience and ephemerality of life, and often exists in conversation with art’s historical past. Consequently, it is important that the core of each project has a clear and intentional concept and an essential question as a backbone.” She has received numerous awards for her fine art, including the Vermont Studio Center Fellowship for Artists in Painting, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation/NEA

a l a n n e w s o M e B Fa ’13 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) writes, “I finished my senior year at the then Philadelphia College of Art in 1984. However, at that time, I lacked 18 credit hours in elective Liberal Arts in order to attain my degree. The choice not to finish back then was a simple one—I was offered a fantastic opportunity to use my talent as an artist in the film and television industry.

Life was and still is good! After a successful 27-year career, my son, Evan, now a senior in high school, told me he wanted to follow in my footsteps and thought he’d skip the college process and go right into the industry with my connections and guidance. After all, he said, ‘You didn’t finish college and you did quite well!’ He had a point, but the lack of a complete college education and the honor that is associated with it was something I could not share.

So to him I dedicate my return and completion. I was readmitted to UArts in the fall of 2011 and completed/transferred the remaining courses this year. What a life! At 50 years of age, I think I’m older than most of the UArts college professors!” More info at alannewsomeartist.com.

She began teaching Ceramics at UArts in 1981 and became a full-time faculty member in 1986, retiring in February 2012 due to an illness. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design (NYC), the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Collection (D.C.), the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum (D.C.), the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), among many others. Her work is described by the Renwick Gallery as “dazzling trompe l’oeil productions, and as a result of their astonishing realism, disbelief is willingly— if only momentarily—suspended.”

M a r i a n n e s C h o r r l o e B C e r t ’43 ( Fa s h i o n D e s i g n) passed away on May 8, 2013, in Jenkintown, Pa., at the age of 90.

She is survived by three children and two grandchildren.

Russell Hoban The writing of the late r u s s e l l h o B a n D i p l ’ 4 1 ( a r t e D u C a t i o n ) , the author of more than 70 books for children and adults, is being introduced to a new generation, with the re-issue of his classic novel Turtle Diary this year by New York Review of Books. After graduating from UArts, then the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Design, he worked as a commercial artist and advertising copywriter before embarking on a career as a children’s author while in his early 30s.

During the 1960s, Hoban and his wife, Lillian, produced as many as six books in a single year—many inspired by life with their own children— including six stories about Frances the badger, The Little Brute Family, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and The Sorely Trying Day. Among Hoban’s novels for adults are Turtle Diary, Riddley Walker, The Bat Tattoo and My Tango with Barbara Strozzi. The Times of London said of Turtle Diary, “This wonderful, life-saving fantasy will place Russell Hoban where he has got to be—among the greatest, timeless novelists.”

Hoban lived in London from 1968 until his death in December 2011.

John H. Kennedy J o h n h . k e n n e D y D i p l ’45 ( a D v e r t i s i n g D e s i g n) passed away on April 19, 2013, at age 91. He worked in New York City in advertising design until the start of World War II, when he enlisted in the U.S. Army. He served in the 603rd Camouflage Engineers, a unit of the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, also known as the “Ghost Army.”

This unique unit of soldiers, whose mission was to deceive the enemy, staged more than 20 battlefield deceptions, including on D-Day and at the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, he went to and graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, now the University of the Arts.

There he met h e l e n s C h M i D t k e n n e D y C e r t ’ 4 8 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) , whom he married in 1949. After graduation, he worked as an art instructor at Moore College of Art and worked for the Philadelphia Bulletin. In 1965, he was hired as an art director by TPF&C, now Towers Watson, in Philadelphia. Later, he became the first head corporate art director for the company. He retired in 1982, but continued to work as a design consultant. He was past president of the Philadelphia Art Directors Club. In 1985, he and his wife moved to Vermont, where he was active in volunteering and cartooning; some were even featured in The Saturday Evening Post. Kennedy loved gardening, music, playing baseball and tennis, the environment, landscaping, creative stone walls, nature, animals, his beloved friends, family, pets and Vermont. Survivors include his wife, two daughters and one granddaughter.

In Memoriam Bernard Waber

James DePreist

B e r n a r D w a B e r D i p l ’ 5 0 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) , a children’s book author and illustrator whose most famous creation was a rope-skipping, ice-skating Manhattanite named Lyle who happened to be a crocodile, died on May 21 at his home in Baldwin, N.Y. He was 91.

Pioneering American conductor and National Medal of Arts winner J a M e s D e p r e i s t ’ 5 8 ( C o M p o s i t i o n ) died on February 8, 2013. He was 76 years old.

In a 1965 review of the second book in the series, Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, The New York Times wrote that “the easy naturalness” of Waber’s illustrations makes Lyle “seem perfectly plausible.”

Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile also inspired an HBO children’s special and a theatrical musical. Waber wrote 33 books that sold almost two million copies. In addition to his Lyle series, he wrote Ira Sleeps Over, a story about a boy who is invited to his first sleepover and worries whether he should bring his teddy bear. In 2002 he wrote Courage, which described the many ways children can display bravery, including being the first to apologize.

“I don’t know where the idea (for Lyle) came from,” Waber told The Times in 1995. “But I always loved drawing animals. I especially like to draw crocodiles. I like the way they walk, and I like their eyes and their teeth and everything about them.”

Charles J. Donovan, III C h a r l e s J . D o n ova n , i i i D i p l ’51 (a Dv e r t i s i n g D e s i g n ) passed away on April 1, 2013, in Springfield, Pa., at the age 90. Donovan lived most of his later years in Mechanicsburg, Pa., and was employed in Harrisburg by the PA Harness Horse Racing Commission.

During WWII, Donovan was a member of the U.S. Army, with much of this time being served in the European Theater. Upon his honorable discharge, he enrolled in and graduated from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art, now UArts. An ardent horseman and artist, he retained his love and appreciation for both during his entire lifetime. He is survived by his brother, nephews and nieces.

William S. Staman w i l l i a M s . s t a M a n B F a ’ 5 1 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) passed away on April 7, 2013, at the age of 83. After graduating from the Philadelphia College of Art, now the University of the Arts, Staman served in the U.S. Army from 1951 to 1953. He worked as a commercial artist for RCA, retiring after 35 years. He was a charter member of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Cherry Hill, N.J., where he was a Sunday school teacher and youth leader. Staman was an avid naturalist, gardener and watercolor artist. He was predeceased by his wife and brother and is survived by his three children, five grandchildren, one great grandchild, one sister, and many nieces and nephews.

Frances Shaffer F r a n C e s s h a F F e r D i p l ’ 5 2 ( M u s i C ) of West Chester, Pa., passed away on July 2, 2013, at age 82. She was a 1948 graduate of St. Agnes High School and a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, now UArts. She is survived by nieces and nephews and was preceded in death by her brothers and sisters.

David Burnside D a v i D B u r n s i D e B F a ’ 5 4 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) of Elmhurst, Ill., passed away on March 15, 2013, at the age of 80. Burnside was a prolific self-employed artist. His career began in illustration and branched into large-scale murals, as well as custom installations for banks, restaurants and libraries across the country. His favorite medium was watercolor. He was a member of the Elmhurst Artists Guild for many years. In 1972, Burnside’s design for a commemorative Illinois state coin was selected from a field of 500 applicants. Based on the 1857 Tousle Headed Lincoln portrait, the medallion was produced in sterling by the Franklin Mint.

In 1985, the City of Elmhurst commissioned a series of Elmhurst landmark illustrations, which were compiled into a calendar and sent to each household that year. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, two sons and seven grandchildren.

Charlotte Maxton Moore C h a r lot t e M a x ton Mo or e Di pl ’57 (i l lus t r at ion) passed away on October 31, 2012, at the age of 76. After graduation, she worked as a commercial artist in both Philadelphia and Boston before her marriage. She is survived by her husband, daughter, son, four grandchildren, brother, and several nieces and nephews.

DePreist was the nephew of pioneering opera icon Marian Anderson, and like his aunt, he was a trailblazer. He became a widely recognized artist in an era in which African-American classical conductors were few and far between. He was a favorite of orchestras and audiences around the globe, despite the additional challenge of surviving polio, which he contracted on a 1962 State Department-sponsored tour to Thailand and which paralyzed both his legs permanently.

In 1964, DePreist won the prestigious Dmitri Mitropoulos International Music Competition for Conductors. The following season, Leonard Bernstein invited him to become an assistant conductor at the New York Philharmonic. He subsequently served as music director of the Oregon Symphony and then as the director of orchestral and conducting studies at the Juilliard School of Music.

Along with appearing as a guest conductor across North America and Europe with most of the world’s top-ranked orchestras, he also served as the music director of Canada’s Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, the Malmö Symphony of Sweden and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte Carlo. Most recently, he was permanent conductor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.

Sidney Goodman

Alumnus and former faculty member s i D n e y g o o D M a n D i p l ’ 5 8 ( i l l u s t r a t i o n ) , one of the most acclaimed, influential and respected artists Philadelphia has produced since the end of World War II, died April 11, 2013, at the age of 77. He taught for 18 years at UArts, helping to shape a generation of new artists.

By the early 1960s, the Philadelphia native’s boldly imaginative style of figurative painting had brought him national attention. When he was 27, Time magazine described him as “one of the most respected and sought-after of the new figure painters.” By 30, Goodman had appeared in an important exhibition of figure painting at the Museum of Modern Art and in two Whitney Museum annuals.

In an obituary, The Philadelphia Inquirer said, “His paintings and drawings mixed observation with memory and imagination to produce images of powerful and sometimes disturbing emotional resonance. He could be intimate one minute, apocalyptic the next. Mr. Goodman’s art is existential and often Manichaean in spirit. It examines basic themes such as the human condition and elemental forces of nature. He had a knack for investing perfectly ordinary scenes or objects—a mirror reflection of him shaving, for instance—with exceptional visual and metaphoric force.”

Goodman’s work can be found in many prestigious collections, including those of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Art Museum and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

Michael Paul Curcio M i C h a e l p a u l C u r C i o B s ’ 1 0 ( C o M M u n i C a t i o n ) of Wilmington, Del., passed away on April 1, 2013, at age 24. Curcio was a caring and loving person who cherished his family. He was a talented artist whose creativity and passion touched all he knew. Curcio’s family was his joy in life and he was happiest when surrounded by his family and friends. He was an avid Philadelphia sports fan, especially of the Phillies, for whom he worked over the last four years. Curcio was a 2006 graduate of Archmere Academy. He is survived by his parents, brother, grandmothers, cousins and friends.

State of the Arts The University of the Arts remains deeply grateful for the generous support of its donors.

The continued growth of the annual fund combined with the expanding ranks of support for our projects, programs and endowment gives the University the financial leverage it needs to move forward with its bold plans for creation of a new model for art education.

We are especially pleased to acknowledge three significant challenge gifts issued in the past year that will transform many aspects of the University for years to come. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to Trustee Sonny Mandell and the Samuel P. Mandell Foundation for inspiring new and increased donations to the Annual Fund by awarding a $50,000 matching gift, and to Trustee Harriet Weiss and her husband, Larry, for awarding a $200,000 matching gift to create new endowed scholarships. We also received an important matching grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to expand the reach of the Corzo Center for the Creative Economy. Many of you have answered their call to action and we are all deeply grateful.

Many of you also helped to make UArts’ Art Unleashed exhibition and sale—our largest fundraising event for student scholarships—the most successful such event yet. This year’s edition, co-chaired by Sherry Effron, J i M F u l t o n B s ’ 7 2 ( a r C h i t e C t u r a l D e s i g n ) , Jennifer Rice and Eric Rymshaw, featured more than a thousand pieces of art by hundreds of talented alumni, faculty and student artists, including Alumni Spotlight Artists D a n D a i l e y B F a ’ 6 9 ( C r a F t s ) and J e r r y p i n k n e y D i p l ’ 6 0 ( a D v e r t i s i n g D e s i g n ) . The event broke records for both funds raised and attendance, raising more than $400,000 for the Sam S. McKeel Promising Young Artists Fund. Art Unleashed 2014 will be held on Wednesday, April 9. Please save the date!

Thank you for your commitment to our extraordinary young artists—it makes all of the accomplishments at the University possible. I look forward to the new academic year and the exciting milestones it will bring.

Sincerely,

Lucie Hughes Vice President for Advancement

Mandell Challenge Met, Annual Fund Goal Exceeded Trustee Samuel “Sonny” Mandell understands the importance of a healthy Annual Fund and its far-reaching impact on the University’s scholarship program. A trustee since 1991, Sonny has championed our efforts to continue to expand and strengthen the University’s base of Annual Fund supporters. Nearly 90 percent of our students rely on financial aid and scholarship assistance. In order to grow the University’s ability to provide scholarship dollars to its most needy students, the University must grow its annual support of its scholarship program. Money raised through the Annual Fund provides direct tuition assistance to students in every department across the University.

This year, Sonny challenged donors, alumni and friends to make a first-time gift or an increased gift to the Annual Fund and offered a matching gift of $50,000. All new or increased gifts were matched by this generous gift through the Samuel P. Mandell Foundation, and we were able to exceed our Annual Fund goal for the year. Sonny responded with an additional $5,000 to match the surplus that was raised. We remain grateful to Sonny for his vision and leadership and appreciate the many donors, alumni and friends who participated in the challenge.

T he M a ndel l Cha l lenge Gra nt The University of the Arts is grateful to the following donors who participated in the Mandell Challenge Grant with a new or increased gift. This grant was made possible by the generosity of the Samuel P. Mandell Foundation.

Knight Foundation Challenge-Grant First Year Goal Met Thanks to the generous support of many individuals, foundations and corporations, the University met the first-year fundraising challenge of a $120,000 two-year matching grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. We extend our special thanks to alumnus s h e p a r D h a r r i s B F a ’ 8 3 ( C r a F t s ) for his leadership gift and to Wells Fargo for their generous support.

The matching grant, awarded in 2012, is part of the $9 million Knight Arts Challenge Philly, an initiative that funds innovative projects that engage and enrich Philadelphia's communities.

Through UArts’ Corzo Center for the Creative Economy, Philadelphia's emerging creative-sector businesses—a major driver of the region’s economy—receive business and entrepreneurship assistance not normally available to the artistic community, including support to emerging creative businesses through pre-seed funding, mentorship programs and workshops, and Creative Incubator grants.

The Center has expanded its current programming to accommodate the rapidly growing number of creative businesses in Philadelphia, providing classes and other assistance to help new companies develop business plans, and offering free expert advice on strategies, marketing, legal issues and business critiques. The Knight Foundation Grant allows the Center to expand opportunities for members of the University of the Arts community to work directly with entrepreneurs, as well as to assist them in taking advantage of other available programs.

Art Unleashed 2013 Sets Fundraising, Attendance Records Art Unleashed, the University's primary fundraising event that showcases the work of our talented students, alumni and faculty, raised more than $400,000 this year, a record amount that benefits the Sam. S. McKeel Promising Young Artists Scholarship Fund.

The event’s Preview Party set another record, with more than 700 registered guests enjoying great art, food, wine and entertainment. Attendees were treated to performances by School of Music students in Solmssen Court and our bucket-drum ensemble Rumble, which played on the Hamilton Hall steps to welcome attendees. Rumble also participated with Dance students in pop-up performances across the city to promote Art Unleashed, events that were chronicled by UArts Film/Video students.

Special thanks go to the Art Unleashed Committee, led by co-chairs Sherry Effron, J i M F u l t o n B s ’ 7 2 ( a r C h i t e C t u r e D e s i g n ) , Jennifer Rice and Eric Rymshaw; and to Alumni Spotlight artists D a n D a i l e y B F a ’ 6 9 ( C r a F t s ) and J e r r y p i n k n e y D i p l ’ 6 0 ( a D v e r t i s i n g D e s i g n ) .

Growing Scholarships—The Weiss Challenge Trustee Harriet Weiss and her husband, Larry, have long been committed to the scholarship program at the University of the Arts. Harriet, a trustee since 1992, has been the force behind several scholarship drives at the University; their company, CRW Graphics, was the lead sponsor of the 2013 Art Unleashed exhibition and sale, the University’s primary fundraiser that benefits scholarships.

The Weiss’s commitment to growing the funds available for scholarships has helped benefit countless students in a variety of disciplines. Last year alone, the University awarded $700,000 overall in scholarships to more than 200 students.

Harriet and Larry have also been advocates for engaging the alumni community. Their most recent effort, the Weiss Challenge, was created as a direct challenge to the alumni community. With a generous matching gift of $200,000, the Weiss Challenge ensures that any alumni pledging a minimum of $12,500 through June 2014 will be able to create a named endowed scholarship.

Alumni who are interested in participating in the Weiss Challenge are encouraged to contact Anisa Haidary at ahaidary@uarts.edu or 215-717-6147.

The “From the Archives” article often draws feedback from alumni and alumnae, and that is how we come to this issue’s feature on the 1968 Philadelphia College of Art Annual, or yearbook. (Philadelphia College of Art [PCA] is now the University of the Arts’ College of Art, Media & Design.) We thank a n n e T o D D B f a ’ 6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y ) for getting in touch and sharing her photographs, and enjoyed the visit with Anne and her classmate f R a n g a L L u n B f a ’ 6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y ) to view and discuss the annual.

Faculty member Aurelius Renzetti.

It was created in two parts in a slipcase: a hardbound volume* features photography by c H a R L e S c o H e n B fa ’69 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) , J e f f Bau m a n n B fa ’69 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) , P H i L i P L a i n o B fa ’6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) , m i T Ru c o S T e a , Ja m e S J o e R n B fa ’ 7 2 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) , e L a i n e o ’ n e i L B fa ’6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) , Da n i e L wH i T e B fa ’69 ( P H o T o g R a P H y) and longtime UArts faculty member L a R R y B a c H B f a ’ 6 9 ( P H o T o g R a P H y ) , and captures their impressions of student life at PCA. A softbound volume** contains portraits of faculty and of seniors grouped by their majors and was photographed by Fran Gallun, R o y m a R T i n B f a ’ 6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y ) , J o a n R u g g L e S B f a ’ 6 8 ( P H o T o g R a P H y ) and Anne Todd. Fran took all the “class” shots with a 4x5 view camera; Anne took the faculty portraits and still has her negatives—and has digitized them and shared them for this article. Printing was done by Eugene Feldman’s Falcon Press, book design was by Larry Bach and the advisor was Ray Metzker.

An interesting aspect of our yearbooks is how few there are from the art school. We have PCA annuals for 1965 through 1969, a Foundation “yearbook” from 1980 and Owen McGoldrick’s Senior Classbook of 1983. There was no yearbook or annual again until 2001, when former faculty member Gabriel Martinez offered the yearbook project as a credit course; The Book (2001) was the last one. When asked why they worked on the 1968 annual, Anne and Fran said they were on the student news staff and worked on newsletters as well as this annual: “It was a privilege, and we did it out of respect for the faculty. We wanted to take the best pictures possible.” There was a precedent with the previous yearbooks and they loved to work on printing projects. We’re glad they did! *The hardbound volume can be viewed and downloaded at archive.org/details/yearbook1968phil. **The softbound volume can be viewed and downloaded at archive.org/details/yearbook196801phil.
