The Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of Ohio annually recognizes outstanding senior artists from independent colleges throughout the state. CIA’s three award winners are, from left, Rachel Shelton ’11, a printmaking major from Buffalo, NY, Wendy Birchfield ’11, an industrial design major from Parma Heights, OH; and Katherine Richards ’11, a painting major from Chagrin Falls, OH. They exhibited their work and participated in a panel discussion at Ohio Wesleyan University in April. Artwork from all the nominees is available for viewing on the Prof. Barbara Stanczak retires awards website, aicuoartaward.com.

Professor Barbara Stanczak ’90 has retired from teaching at CIA, where, for more than 30 years, she cultivated a climate of creativity, adventurousness, and daring in the Foundation program. “I will miss teaching very much. The students have always been an inspiration to me because their ideas are so open,” she said. Her former students often credit Stanczak with introducing them to new experiences in art, particu- larly with her chess set and artist book assignments. Stanczak said she looks forward to focusing on Graduate Credit and exhibiting her own sculptural work; spending more time with her husband, Professor Emeritus Offered for Continuing Julian Stanczak ’54; promoting his work; writing; reading; and gardening.

They studied common problems and needs in the kitchen, conducted market research, and looked at trends in interiors, colors, cooking, and entertaining. ID students developed 18 new products in three sub-brands aimed at 20-something “trend setters,” more established “social cookers,” and serious “home professionals.” CD students developed new logos for each of the three sub-brands, opting for three versions of a contemporary- looking “HB,” rather than the full company name. They also developed advertisements for both print and web.

Saul Ostrow, chair of CIA’s Visual Arts and Technologies Environment, and former provost Nancy Stuart initiated the collaboration after Candace Williams, administrator at the two schools, appealed to colleges in the region for assistance with art instruction. “Given the success of the program and our students’ enthusiasm for it, the program will be offered again in the fall,” Ostrow said.

It Takes a Steamroller Printmaking students had to think big this spring—really big—in preparation for a class assignment that substituted their usual presses for a steamroller. With the help of Cleveland-based Parking Lot Maintenance Systems, which provided the road roller and driver at no charge, students in Adjunct Instructor Barbara Chira’s Introduction to Printmaking course created four-foot by 10-foot prints in the Gund Building parking lot. “This project challenged the students to thoughtfully consider the effect of scale in image construction and conceptual expression,” Chira said. On top of all that, she added, “This was big fun.”

SIE 65 Was Wildly Successful This year’s Student Independent Exhibition drew rave reviews, a steady stream of visitors, 27 awards, and one out of every four pieces displayed was sold. Co-curated by fiber and material studies seniors Ivy Garrigan and Julia Chepke, the exhibition included 68 pieces, chosen from 257 submissions. This year’s show was juried by New York-based illustrator Yuko Shimizu, multidisciplinary performance artist Ben Kinsley ’05, and Cleveland-based ceramic sculptor Kristen Cliffel ’90.

PERPETUATING YOUR ANNUAL GIFTS MAY BE EASIER THAN YOU REALIZED

Jack White ’66 had a successful career as a graphic designer, college professor, and president of an art school. When asked a few years ago what he most appreciated about his CIA education, he said, “I learned to learn; and that has always been my most useful skill.”

White, who received crucial scholarship support as a CIA student, paid it forward, contributing each year like clockwork to CIA’s Annual Fund. And before his death in 2007, he made a simple provision to perpetuate those annual gifts. Now, nearly four years after his death, White continues to serve as a role model for those who want to provide ongoing support for CIA students.

By adding the following language to your will/trust, you too can perpetuate your annual giving:

“I give the sum of ______dollars (or alternatively) I give ______percent of my residuary estate, to The Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, or its successor or successors, for the unrestricted support of The Cleveland Institute of Art’s mission. CIA’s tax ID number is 34-071-4334.”
