LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
I am delighted to share some exciting news with you. At the end
of February 2011 we purchased the vacant lot adjacent to the main
San Francisco campus building. Our wonderful Board of Trustees
spearheaded the effort and provided the financing for the acquisition
of this two-and-a-half-acre parcel.
We have no immediate plans for developing the
lot, but of course there are a number of ideas for
temporary uses. Development for long-term use is
several years away and will involve extensive research,
planning, and community involvement as well as
a major fundraising effort. For now, I’m looking
forward to creating a process to gather input from
the CCA community as well as from the broader
Bay Area arts and education community.
Acquiring this property has been a goal of the college
for many years, and I am excited to be at the helm
at this time. I’ve been extremely fortunate to work
with CCA’s board on the project. I extend my deep appreciation for their
excellent generosity, support, and stewardship in ensuring the future of
the college.
CCA has been a tremendous success story in the last 15 years, with
enrollment increasing by more than 75 percent and demand for our
programs continuing to grow. Acquiring this property opens up a world
of new potential for CCA to lead the way in delivering the best possible
arts education, now and in the future.
Thank you for your continued interest and support.

CCA Announces the Launch of Its Newly Redesigned Website
If you haven’t already, check out CCA’s recently redesigned website! Many months of research,
negotiation, and hard work went into the redesign, the primary goal of which was to display
more prominently the wealth of talent contributed to the college by its students, faculty, alumni,
and staff. The new site offers drop-down menus from the main navigation on the homepage, an
expanded audience-based main menu, larger homepage images with added selection features,
more prominent displays of video, and built-in social media features.

Fancy Work (Scattergood Quilt), 2010
“We did a meaningful
critique of my student’s
work and restructured
her résumé. We attended
gallery openings and had
substantive discussions
about art in general
and art as a profession.
I also shared many of my
resources, such as lists
of residencies.”
Mentor Iris Charabi-Berggren
“The student demonstrated a devotion to her
craft and a grasp of theory
that makes me want to
work with her on future
projects. Our relationship
will almost certainly
continue after the formal
mentorship program
ends.”
Mentor Kevin Clarke
“It was a very valuable
learning experience. I
toured my mentor’s studio
and discussed methods
of working and material
acquisition. I showed my
own work and talked
about my current process,
and I was guided to
consider materials and
resources I hadn’t
previously.”
Student Nichelle Lee
“My mentor was amazing
and so helpful! This is one
of the most fundamental
programs I have participated in during my time at
CCA. I would be more than
happy to be a mentor after
graduation.”

New Alumni/Student Mentorship Program
Alumna Ruth Laskey Receives SECA Art Award
CCA’s new Alumni/Student Mentorship Program connects students with
alumni for a semester of one-on-one mentoring sessions. The alumni
draw on their own experiences and expertise to provide the students with
professional advice, encouragement, inspiration, and realistic critiques.
The pilot session began in spring 2010, with 10 fine arts alumni matched
with 10 third-year and fourth-year students in fine arts programs. It was
so successful that the program has doubled its numbers in spring 2011,
matching 20 alumni with 20 students.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has announced the recipients
of the 2010 SECA Art Award, and CCA alumna Ruth Laskey (Painting/
Drawing 1999, MFA 2005) is among the four winners. The SECA Art
Award honors Bay Area artists who are working independently at a
high level of artistic maturity, but who have yet to receive substantial
recognition. Works by Laskey and the other recipients (Mauricio
Ancalmo, Colter Jacobsen, and Kamau Amu Patton) will be featured in
an exhibition (with accompanying catalog) that will open at SFMOMA
in fall 2011. Laskey’s artistic focus is on the relatively unexplored territory
that weaving occupies within the context of art history.
The program begins with a kickoff training session for all participants.
Mentors and students receive guidance on how to shape their future
sessions to best meet their needs and time constraints. Three one-onone meetings follow over the course of the term, consisting of studio
or business tours, job shadowing, mock interviews, portfolio reviews,
brainstorming sessions, gallery visits, résumé reviews, or anything else
the duo chooses. The semester ends with a group wrap-up session and
celebration.
Alumni are invited to be mentors! Email us at alumni@cca.edu.
To participate, you must have majored in the fine arts and/or work in a
fine arts field, have had a positive experience during your years at CCA,
and be currently working in an art-related career or studio practice.
Students are nominated by CCA faculty, and then invited to submit
an application to the program. Final pairings are made by the Career
Services and Alumni Relations offices.

Animation Chair Andrew Lyndon Curates
PENCIL TO PIXEL at Oakland International Airport
Andrew Lyndon is CCA’s chair of Animation,
a digital imaging and video instructor at Pixar
Animation Studios, and now also a guest curator
for the Oakland Museum of California, having organized the exhibition Pencil to Pixel for
the museum’s off-site location at Oakland
International Airport. This carefully conceived
and beautifully presented show explored the
world of contemporary animation via the artwork of four Bay Area studios: DreamWorks,
Industrial Light and Magic, Pixar Animation
Studios, and Tippett Studio. The exhibition
was part of an ongoing partnership between the
airport and the Oakland Museum; the shows are
viewed by the more than 9.5 million passengers
who visit the airport each year.
Graphic Design Alumna Lia Tjandra Designs
Rebecca Solnit’s Infinite City
UC Press designs and publishes an impressive 180 books a year. Of these,
20 or 25 receive special design attention, and of those, art director and
CCA alumna Lia Tjandra (Graphic Design 1997) gets her
pick of the plummest projects to design personally. Currently
on her 2011 docket are a book on urban farming and a cookbook drawn from 25 years of The Art of Eating magazine.
Last year it was Rebecca Solnit’s Infinite City, a spectacular
cartographic ode to San Francisco that was a joint project
between UC Press and the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art. The creation of Infinite City involved more than
25 people, and the final product included not just the book
but also a series of limited-edition broadsides and numerous
lectures and events that ran for six months in conjunction
with SFMOMA’s 75th anniversary. Tjandra was responsible
for the overall design, liaising with 12 artists and two
cartographers to create the dazzling maps.
Before coming to UC Press, Tjandra spent nine years as an in-house
designer at SFMOMA. While at CCA she participated in Sputnik, the
college’s award-winning undergraduate design studio, and interned with
the renowned design team Aufuldish & Warinner.
Tjandra maintains strong links with CCA, notably through the UC Press
internship program. “It’s been wonderful to tap into the student talent.”
And this hard-working graphic design veteran has some solid advice
for the next generation of designers: Keep an open mind about where
you want to work, be flexible, and develop a range of skills rather than
specializing. As graphic design evolves toward creating templates and
standards, she says, “You will, ironically, be working to create methods
and systems that will eventually replace you. It’s the reality of things.
But there will always be interesting design projects out there. Keep
reinventing yourself.”
In memoriam
Dennis Oppenheim 1938–2011
Prominent CCA alumnus Dennis Oppenheim
(Painting 1965) passed away on January 22,
2011, at the age of 72. A pioneer of Land art,
conceptual art, performance art, and video in
the 1960s and 1970s, Oppenheim moved fluidly
throughout his career from the macrocosm of
the landscape to the microcosm of the body. In
the last two decades he concentrated on creating large-scale public artworks that combined
aspects of architecture and sculpture. Some of
these works proved controversial, for instance
Device to Root Out Evil, a church turned upside
down, originally presented at the 1997 Venice
Biennale. Local audiences may remember his
landmark installation Recall (1974), which appeared in Artists of Invention: A Century of CCA
at the Oakland Museum of California in 2007.

Nathan Oliveira 1928–2010
One of CCA’s most illustrious alumni and
former faculty members, Nathan Oliveira,
died on November 13, 2010. Oliveira received
his BFA in 1951 and his MFA in 1952, both from
CCA, and he taught at the college from 1952
to 1956. He held a tenured teaching position at
Stanford University from 1964 until he retired
in 1995. He received many awards during his
lifetime, including a Guggenheim Fellowship
and honorary doctorates from CCA (1968)
and the San Francisco Art Institute (1996). He
also served on CCA’s Board of Trustees from
2002 to 2005. Over the course of his career,
Oliveira took part in hundreds of important
exhibitions at major museums and galleries.
He was a pioneer in the return to figuration in
American painting; in the 1950s he and several
fellow artists originated the Bay Area Figurative
Movement. Their group was reacting against
nonobjective, abstract painting, in particular
Abstract Expressionism. Others in the group
included Richard Diebenkorn, David Park,
Elmer Bischoff, Joan Brown, and Manuel Neri.

GIFTS AND GRANTS
Remarkable learning opportunities are made possible at CCA through
gifts and grants from our generous donors. We’d like to thank all the
alumni, parents, and friends who made gifts this fall and winter. Many
gifts have come in for Mirror Mirror, the fundraising gala organized in

of Glance magazine. The following are highlights of other leadership gifts
made from October 2010 through January 2011.
By including CCA in your estate plan, you can create a significant legacy.
Alumna Laureen Landau (MFA 1962) did just that. Ms. Landau, who
passed away in August 2009, created a planned gift that resulted in CCA
receiving $540,000 from her estate this year. The college is grateful for
this very generous legacy, which will strengthen educational resources
available to CCA students.
F. Noel Perry, Stephen Beal, Tecoah Bruce, and Robert Bechtle
