Rathburn selected a solid and committed group of trustees, faculty and administrative Tricia Corey staff to make this choice. Jami Darlington Search committee member Dr. James Dixon offered this observation about the SPORTS INFORMATION process: “Kudos to David Rathburn for selecting a committee that represented the Ryan Briggs ’01 faculty, the administration and a wide range of perspectives on the Board. This chairman Robert Audia genuinely sought the input of every member of the committee and was not satisfied until DESIGN he felt that everyone had spoken his or her mind, with no pressure to conform.

The natural world is God’s perfect creation and He put us in a position of stewardship over it. Though millennia separate us from Eden, we remain tasked with “tending to the garden.” For some Grove City College alumni, that isn’t a metaphor, but a mission.

Smith, and Rev. Dr. Mark K. Tyler in Opposition to the Condemnation of James Dupree’s Art Studio Dear Mayor and City Council: We write to urge this body not to proceed with the condemnation of James Dupree’s art studio at 3617 Haverford Avenue. Mr. Dupree’s case is straightforward: The city of Philadelphia is abusing its power of eminent domain. The city wants to bulldoze Mr. Dupree’s 8,600-square-foot property and replace it with a grocery store and parking lot. Eminent domain is supposed to be used for “public use,” such as for roads and schools. A grocery store is not a public use. Additionally, the unreasonable valuation is not “just compensation,” which is another constitutional requirement, and thus is a denial of due process. Seizing James Dupree’s art studio is not only unconstitutional and a gross abuse of eminent domain, it is unconscionable. Dupree, a native son of Philadelphia, is one of the city’s most highly regarded artists. Five of his paintings are housed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and numerous pieces of his are displayed throughout the city. Mr. Dupree turned a broken-down warehouse and garage into a unique art space where he works and has hosted art classes. He would like to start a mentorship program in Mantua so that inner-city kids can learn to appreciate art.

Like a snapshot it captures a moment in time, one that tells a compelling story that is rich in detail and resonates with meaning about the subject it represents. With this analogy in mind, we hope that as you read this account of our operations during fiscal year 2012 you will not only appreciate all that has been accomplished at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but also see how this work has served to fulfill the mission of this institution through the continued development and care of our collection, the presentation of a broad range of exhibitions and programs, and the strengthening of our relationship to the com- munity through education and outreach. In this regard, continuity is vitally important. In other words, what the Museum was founded to do in 1876 is as essential today as it was then. Fostering the understanding and appreciation of the work of great artists and nurturing the spirit of creativity in all of us are enduring values without which we, individually and collectively, would be greatly diminished. If continuity—the responsibility for sustaining the things that we value most—is impor- tant, then so, too, is a commitment to change.

  • The Art Collection Of
    The Art Collection of Dear Colleagues, Over the past several years the Wharton School, with input from our faculty, students and staff have expanded the school's art collection. Many of the pieces, in support of Philadelphia and its arts culture, were purchased from local galleries and depict local scenes. As the collection evolved, several works by University of Pennsylvania Alumni were included and its scope broadened to include mixed media works as well as international artists. This catalogue is intended to serve as a summary of the works collected to date. We hope you find inspiration and enjoyment in the collection.

Whether we speak about the flourishing of architecture and the decorative arts here in the second half of the eighteenth century, the emergence of the city in the early nineteenth century as one of the great centers for the education of artists, or the achievement of towering figures such as Charles Willson Peale, Thomas Eakins, or Frank Furness, no one can dispute the fact that Philadelphia has always held an important place in the development of American art. Philadelphia’s many cultural institutions have played a significant role in this story, providing a record of its remarkable artistic achievements and enriching the lives of its citizens. Of these, none is perhaps as emblematic of the city’s remarkable artistic heritage and civic aspirations as the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Indeed, institutions like this are intended to reflect and celebrate the creative spirit and values of the communities they serve. In this regard, we can say—and do so with confidence—that there are few cities as committed to the arts as Philadelphia. The arts matter here. This is not simply a matter of civic pride; it is also, more fundamentally, about civic identity, about how Philadelphia defines itself and wants to be seen in the world.
