Ms. Rodriguez MEETING OF seconded the motion, which passed unanimously by roll 10/14/14 call vote. Approved Presentation: An Introduction to the Friends' Planned Advocacy Program Jason Jaffery, Executive Director, Friends of the Cleveland Public Library, stated that the Friends plan for expansion focused on the following areas: (1) Increased Philanthropy; (2) Increased visibility and volunteer opportunities; and (3) Advocacy on behalf of Cleveland Public Library. Mr. Jaffery stated that ultimately, all high-impact organizations bridge the divide between service and advocacy . They become good at both. And the more they serve and advocate, the more they achieve impact. The Friends growth strategy is based on Friends of St. Paul Model. Advocacy is key to their success Last year, they raised three times as much for their library through advocacy efforts as they did through philanthropy. Advocacy became a top priority. There is an opportunity to restore the Public Library Fund that could result in a potential 7 figure impact on the library's budget. 1273 A key success of this initiative is a new staff position: Director Of Programs & Advocacy to play a leadership role in the Restore the PLF campaign and to build an ongoing program to support the library's relationships with public officials.

  • Cleveland Art School Exhibit Notes Copy
    The Cleveland School Watercolor and Clay December 1, 2012 - March 10, 2013 The Cleveland School: Watercolor and Clay Exhibition Essay by William Robinson Northeast Ohio has produced a remarkable tradition of achievement in watercolor painting and ceramics. The artists who created this tradition are often identified as members of the Cleveland School, but that is only a convenient way of referring to a diverse array of painters and craftsmen who were active in a region that stretches out for hundreds of miles until it begins to collide with the cultural orbit of Toledo, Columbus, and Youngstown. The origins of this “school” are sometimes traced to the formation of the Cleveland Art Club in 1876, but artistic activity in the region predates that notable event. Notable artists were resident in Cleveland by at least the 1840s, supplying the growing shipping and industrial center with portraits, city views, and paintings to decorate domestic interiors. As the largest city in the region, Cleveland functioned like a magnet, drawing artists from surrounding communities to its art schools, museums, galleries, and thriving commercial art industries. Guy Cowan moved to Cleveland from East Liverpool, a noted center of pottery production, located on Ohio River, just across the Pennsylvania border. Charles Burchfield came from Salem and Viktor Schreckengost from Sebring, both for the purpose of studying at the Cleveland School of Art. To be sure, the flow of talent and ideas moved in multiple directions. Leading painters in Cleveland, such as Henry Keller and Auguste Biehle, established artists’ colonies in rural areas to west and south. William Sommer, although employed as a commercial lithographer in Cleveland, established a studio-home in the Brandywine Valley that drew other modernists to the country.

  • Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America Artist Bios
    Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America Artist Bios Gifford Beal was born in New York City in 1879. As a teenager he studied with William Merritt Chase and graduated from Yale in 1900. He became the longest-serving president of the Art Students League of New York, where he also taught in 1931 and 1932. Successful as a painter, printmaker and muralist, Beal applied his talents to both the public side of pageantry like the circus and quieter, everyday moments like natural landscapes and fishing scenes. Paul Lewis Clemens was born in Wisconsin in 1911 and studied art at both the University of Wisconsin and the Art Institute of Chicago. He moved to Los Angeles in 1944 and became well known for a series of movie star portraits—Henry Fonda, Mia Farrow, Ethel Barrymore, Claudette Colbert, Jane Wyman and Ronald Reagan, among others—commissioned by Life magazine. Clarence Holbrook Carter was born in Portsmouth in 1904. After graduating from the Cleveland School of Art, he spent a year painting in Europe and then returned to Cleveland to find considerable success as a professional artist, even during the Depression, enjoying prizes every year in the Cleveland Museum’s annual May Show, exhibiting at other important museums and selling his work to public and private collectors. He later lived in Pittsburgh and Bucks County, Pennsylvania, before settling in rural New Jersey for the rest of his long, productive life. His artistic vocabulary underwent several major shifts but he is best known for his regionalist American Scene paintings, including a number of oils and watercolors devoted to a favorite subject since childhood, the circus, especially the unexpected glimpse behind the tents.

    Oral history interview with George D. Culler, 1974 October 29 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a recorded interview with George D. Culler on October 29, 1974. The interview took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was conducted by Paul Cummings for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. The Archives of American Art has reviewed the transcript and has made corrections and emendations. This transcript has been lightly edited for readability by the Archives of American Art. The reader should bear in mind that they are reading a transcript of spoken, rather than written, prose. Interview PAUL CUMMINGS: This is the 29th of October 1974, and it's Paul Cummings talking to George Culler in his office in the Philadelphia College of Art. You're from McPherson, Kansas, correct? GEORGE D. CULLER: Well, I was born in McPherson, Kansas. We moved to Ohio when I was six. My father took a job as dean of Hiram College outside of Cleveland about 30 miles and then from there when I was 15, we moved into the suburb of Cleveland so that I suppose I'm as much in Ohio. I mean, my background is anything. I went to the Cleveland School of Art, which is now the Cleveland Institute of Art, and also got my BS in education from Western Reserve University in 1936.
