JUDITH K. BRODSKY “IRON HORSES,”
LITHOGRAPH, 41 X 29 INCHES
This print is one of a suite of 15 lithographs
called “The Meadowlands Strike Back” in which
Brodsky uses the industrial landscape of Northern
New Jersey for an apocalyptic narrative. As the
series progresses, everything starts to go wrong
in the environment and eventually goes up in
flames. A new Garden of Eden appears in the
last image, but there is always evil in Paradise.
The new evil are garbage bags falling from the
sky, creating new garbage mountains. Brodsky is
the founder of the Rutgers Center for Innovative
Print and Paper, newly renamed the Brodsky Center
in honor of her contributions to the print world.

dean’s message
Appreciation to 1987 Design Workshop
As promised, Tyler Gestures has undergone a
major renovation, though the last design held
up well for two decades.
The 21st century required the addition of
color photography throughout and a new
editorial focus directed more towards alumni
engagement. Tyler Gestures has taken on a
new attitude while holding onto the most
important qualities of an art school
newsletter—the people and artwork.
XX TYLER GESTURES WINTER 2006
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,
It has been my pleasure to complete my first
year at the Tyler School of Art and I’m happy to
report on some significant accomplishments and
milestones. Though we continue to plan for the
most advanced visual-arts facility in the region,
there are more exciting developments at Tyler:
• The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided to increase their
commitment to our new building by an additional $6 million.
• Temple University’s new President, Ann Weaver Hart, decided
that Tyler will continue to offer both digital and wet-lab
photography, reversing a decision by a previous administration.
• Substantial improvements have been made to the Elkins Park
campus including repairing three roofs on buildings, adding
additional lighting around campus, and increasing security.
• The Architecture program passed a rigorous review and
received accreditation renewal for the next six years. Lindsay
Bremner, newly appointed chair for the architecture program,
comes to us from South Africa.
• Tyler had its biggest fundraising year ever, with more than
$1.5 million added to our scholarship endowment alone.
Kelli Cavanaugh, director of publications
at Tyler, and Jennifer Davison and Scotty
Reifsnyder, MFA students in graphic and
interactive design, have worked diligently
over the past five months to provide Tyler’s
alumni and friends with a format that is
artistic and straightforward for the reader.
The design and editorial staff involved with
the new layout of Tyler Gestures want to
sincerely thank Frank Baseman, MFA ’83 and
his design workshop students, who were the
masterminds behind the creative design and
production of the first issue in 1987.
• Professor Sharyn O’Mara was appointed Interim Associate
Dean and Claire Tillman was appointed Assistant Dean of
Finance and Human Resources.
• Six new tenure faculty appointments were made after
extensive international searches, significantly expanding the
cultural and international scope of the faculty.
• Current faculty accomplishments include Pepón Osorio
serving as a sole representative of the United States at the
São Paulo Biennial and Tracy Cooper, a professor in the
art history department, having her book Palladio’s Venice:
Architecture and Society in a Renaissance Republic published.
• We have a new academic coordinator, an additional member
of the fundraising staff, additional clerical and (for the first
time ever) technical staff for each department and an Internet
services coordinator.
All of the above developments are part of a plan for the School
as it moves to a new location and evolves to meet the dramatic
changes in the ways we study and create art.
I’m looking forward to breaking ground this spring at the
newly prepared site for the Tyler School of Art at 12th and
Norris Streets in Philadelphia. I’m eager to hear from all of
you about the plans for the future.
Best wishes,
Keith Morrison
Dean, Tyler School of Art
Baseman was the director of the original
Tyler Design Workshop, essentially a
publications office for Tyler, working on
real-world projects to promote the school.
Gestures won a gold medal from the Art
Directors Club of Philadelphia, 52nd Annual
Competition. Students contributing to the
project were: Carol Baxter, Kirsten Engstrom,
Peggy Sue Musser, Gary Peterson, Joo Sue,
and Sang Yoon.
The intention is that this new design will do
the same justice for another twenty years.
Please send your comments on the design
to tyleralumni@temple.edu.

02 TYLER GESTURES WINTER 2006
Education in the arts is a two-way street. Whether it is
installing art in a North Philadelphia park or discovering
ancient art in the deep caves of Greece, artistic practices need
to be inner-twined with outside influences. The foundation
of an education is not complete when it is experienced with
walls on all four sides. Each program within the Tyler School
of Art has made it a priority to reach outside of the classroom
and engage students in conversations and situations a
classroom environment cannot simulate.
ARCHITECTURE
The Philadelphia Urban Installation Initiative has been established
through the Tyler School of Art Architecture program to
create and encourage the practice of design and arts installation
in the surrounding north Philadelphia community. The director,
Dianna Nicholas, has been a lecturer in Tyler’s Architecture
program for two years now.
The Initiative has completed two projects in North Philadelphia.
The fi rst project, entitled “A Path in The Village” was completed
by the fi rst-year architecture students in collaboration
with the Village of Arts and Humanities. The Village decided
to restructure their main park and gathering space, Ile Ife Park.
The students used their talents to assist with this process and
designed tiles that would become the border to a more elaborate
refurbishment of all the paths in the village.
The second project was completed in North Philadelphia
adjacent to the offi ces of Asociacion de Puertorriquenos en
Marcha (APM), at 6th and Diamond Streets. In this location a
group of architecture students designed and installed a twoweek
temporary art piece entitled “The Element.” This piece
was made up of a series of functionalities including places to
sit, framing devices, and arches, all of which were intended
to draw attention to the site itself as an outdoor community
gathering place.

Since “The Element” was a
temporary piece last year, this
year it is Nicholas’s goal to install
a permanent community project,
“Dominoes on Seventh.” This project’s
mission will be to create a space for the
residents of this growing community to meet
and play dominoes, a popular game within
their neighborhood’s history. The inspiration
for this project will be drawn from the rich
diversity of the area.
ART / ART EDUCATION
Systemic change using a sustainable model
of civic engagement is the philosophy behind
the Cross-Disciplinary Arts in Community
Program at the Tyler School
of Art. Tyler is the fi rst program of
this nature on the east coast, offering
academic training in communitybased
arts that is cross-disciplinary,
partnership-driven and long-term.
William Yalowitz and Pepón Osorio
are the Tyler artists and art educators
behind the execution
of the program. The
purpose of their work
now is to provide Philadelphia
youth with an
opportunity to explore,
through the arts, key
issues of confl ict with

Oran Dessau, and

which their communities are confronted.
First year student, Nina
Gernesova, completes
the installation of the
path and the paver
border at The Village of
Arts and Humanities.
Badge of Honor addresses a generational
pattern of incarceration that has historically
overwhelmed the predominantly Latino
families of North Philadelphia. Typically seen
as a personal issue rather than a community issue,
it is extremely diffi cult for youth to break the cycle.
An installation by Osorio will center on a video
conversation between an incarcerated father and
his son and will serve as source material for a larger
initiative that works in close collaboration with
the many constituent groups of the community to
uncover individual stories and weave a collective
narrative that recognizes this community crisis. A
video and comic book/handbook will be created
about the understanding of community
cultural and racial diversity. Basic

“ As architects, it is our
charge to explore ways to
improve the environment.
As Temple students and
faculty, we need to fi nd
opportunities to engage
with our community.“
-DIANNA NICHOLAS
The projects are designed to
generate dialogues among youth
on these issues and to engage
them with in-depth community
arts processes with professional
artists, university students, and
local community members, as they
build arts and leadership skills.

and homeland insecurities through multiple
lenses. The catalyst component for the project
is Six Actors in Search of a Plot, a movementtheatre
performance work co-produced by
Peace Child Israel and Temple University’s
Tyler School of Art focusing on the confl ict.

to community change, while
Tyler’s involvement will benefi t
students long-term. Recognizing
the ongoing work
of the community partners
and seeking to support and

and innovative ways are
all part of the curriculum.
An integration of the artmaking

key components of the education
a student will receive

LO C AT I O N
THE DIRECTION IS NORTH. In fall 2006, the Temple Gallery in
Old City moved from Second and Market Streets to Third and
Vine Streets. The move did not change the gallery’s focus on
supporting innovative new work by emerging artists. To prove
it, this winter is a lively and challenging season of exhibitions,
lectures, and events to inaugurate the new space.
The gallery occupies the fi rst fl oor of a renovated building,
just around the corner from the neighboring Painted Bride
Art Center. Director of exhibitions and public programs,
Sheryl Conkelton, and exhibitions coordinator, Ellen Napier,
are adamant about using the gallery as a space for artists,
the Temple University community, and the public to come
together to examine the most recent developments in
contemporary visual arts and their relationship to broader
cultural contexts.
Says Conkelton, “One aspect of that mission is to provide
opportunities for emerging curators and the younger
artists they champion. This was the motivation behind the
inaugural show in the new space, Empathetic, which is being
organized by guest curator Elizabeth Thomas.” Featuring
works by Paul Chan, Trisha Donnelly, Jesper Just, Kalup Linzy
and others, Empathetic explores the complex operation of
empathy—the ability to share the experience of another, to
perceive and relate to another’s feelings and intentions. In
this wide-ranging exhibition, which will feature drawings,
installations, performances, video and sound installation,
the artworks do not always directly present or depict
empathetic situations, but offer gallery visitors means of
exploring their own responses to engaging narratives, iconic
images and emotional situations. A range of programs, from
artists’ performances and lectures to in-gallery tours and
participatory projects, will accompany the show, which runs
from November 4, 2006 through February 24, 2007.
“We design the Temple Gallery
programs to contribute to
the intellectual liveliness
of the artistic community
in Philadelphia and the
region, and to have a national
impact as a forum for artistic
debate. We want to engage
signifi cant issues related
to artistic practices and the
presentation of contemporary
art, and we hope that
students, alumni, artists and
audiences will feel at home
at the Gallery and will be
energized by what we do.”
– SHERYL CONKELTON,
DIRECTOR OF EXHIBITIONS
AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS
During the upcoming year, an important goal for the
development and alumni affairs offi ce is to see Temple
Gallery well-used as a place for alumni to reconnect with
each other through the art on view and the programs that
accompany each exhibition. Organized tours and receptions
will be held throughout the year with the intention of
providing opportunities for this kind of educational and social
engagement. If you have an interest in donating to the public
exhibitions programs or participating in a group alumni tour,
please contact Greg Murphy at 215.204.2363.

A Creativity Midwife
Tyler Gestures is truly a means of bringing
alumni together and, in some cases, actually
facilitating the artistic process, as exemplified by
a collaborative project between ARLA PATCH,
BFA ’72 and Kelli Cavanaugh, BFA ’94. Arla first
learned about Tyler’s award-winning catalog
through Tyler Gestures. As a result, she contacted
Tyler in search of a student to assist in her latest project.
Cavanaugh spoke with Arla about her ideas, liked the concept
of Arla’s book, A Body Story, and offered to assist Arla on the
design concept for the book.
The book itself is a photographic exploration that combines
imagery, body movement, and language to tell a passionate
story of awakening and transformation. Arla first photographed
slides of nature, which she took into the studio and projected

onto black velvet to help absorb the image. She then stood in
front of the image with a full-length mirror next to the camera
and moved with the images. It was the physical “dance”
that enabled her to interact, embrace, and connect with the
images. A Body Story was published in 2005. The book went
on to be nominated for Outstanding Book of the Year by the
Independent Publisher Book Awards 2006, receiving Honorable
Mention in the category of Most Life-Changing.

Arla studied at the Tyler School of Art where she earned
a BFA in 1972, majoring in sculpture and gaining teacher
certification. In 1974, she completed her MFA in sculpture
at Indiana University. For over thirty years, she has been
teaching in both the public and private sectors, including
instructing students in her home in Western Maine where
she leads retreats and workshops using art as a tool for
self-discovery and healing.
A Body Story is Arla’s first book and she has generously
offered to use it as a fundraising piece for the new Tyler
building on main campus. For every book sold to an
alumnus, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to
the building fund and, in return, the buyer will receive a
personally inscribed copy of A Body Story. Please refer to
Arla’s Web site www.arlapatch.com or contact her directly
for a copy. Arla’s next book will be entitled Second Skin.
It is about the transformational power of body casting
sculpture inspired by her own healing experiences, her
work with breast cancer patients, as well as her work
with formerly incarcerated women.

A Tyler Pioneer
JANE BONELLI, MEd ’65 received her BFA from
the University of the Arts where she was a parttime
lecturer for five years. She began teaching
at Tyler in the late 1950s while at the same time
pursuing her masters in art education. In 1960,
Bonelli was hired as the
first female tenure-track
professor in Tyler’s history.
Though Bonelli retired from teaching
in 1992, she has remained active with
Tyler. She served on the Tyler School
of Art Alumni Association Board for
many years. She was a recipient of
the 1994 Temple University Alumni
Association Certificate of Honor
Award for the distinguished work she
accomplished in her field. In 1997, an
endowed fund was established in her
honor to provide for an award to an outstanding student in
art education studies or student teaching performance. Bonelli
has also been recognized as a member of Temple’s Acres of
Diamonds Circle.
Rochelle Toner, dean emeritus of Tyler, worked closely with
Jane during her tenure. “For many years, Jane Bonelli was art
education at Tyler School of Art. As the founding director of
Tyler’s art education program, Jane had an enormous impact
on the teaching of art in the Philadelphia region. A significant

number of the students she taught went on to head up the
most important K-12 art education programs in the region.
All of us who love Tyler appreciate Jane Bonelli’s contribution
to this very real chain of arts education.”
Jane’s late husband, Harry Bonelli, was
the Director of Art Education for the
School District of Philadelphia. In 1974,
when Bonelli became chair of the art
education department, she used her
public school experience to create a
requirement that her students take a
practicum in both the private and public
realms. This duality enabled the students
to obtain a well-rounded education
of many classroom scenarios and to
be better prepared for teaching upon
graduation. Bonelli explains, “The inner
city was where the jobs were available
and where good students were needed and getting hired.
Despite this reality, the students were only being trained in
private, suburban classrooms.”
The energy and enthusiasm that springs from young art
students are the main reasons Bonelli stays dedicated to
Tyler. Her own experience as both an art educator and a
painter simultaneously has allowed Bonelli the opportunity to
empathize with students struggling to pursue their art while
at the same time making ends meet. As a donor, Bonelli hopes
to make the financial struggle less strenuous for students.
Two of Tyler’s own were honored. The country’s leading figures in
the field of contemporary crafts, metal sculptor Albert Paley, and
Helen Williams Drutt English, formerly executive director of the
Philadelphia Council of Professional Craftsmen, were recognized
with the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show Award for Distinguished
Achievement in American Craft.

temple update
A New President in the Midst
���
Tyler School of Art is fresh with possibilities as
a new president, Ann Weaver Hart, begins her
legacy. Hart was elected as the ninth president
of Temple University and is the fi rst woman ever
to serve in this role. Hart left the University of
New Hampshire, where she served as president
for four years.
Her accomplishments at New Hampshire were numerous
including attracting more than $100 million in outside
research funding and a $38 million dollar grant from NASA.
Hart dramatically improved university-state and universitytown
relationships. She implemented a plan to increase
diversity, helped faculty develop business spin-offs from their
research, improved technology transfer, and organized private
fundraising to support all these new initiatives.
Hart will inherit a university that is in the process of recruiting
more than 300 tenured and tenure-track faculty members and
conducting a $400 million dollar construction program.

Hart reponds to the challenge, “My life was transformed by
having access to a fi rst-rate education at a great urban public
university. Temple has that very same transformative power,
and I embrace it.”
“Having our musicians, artists, and
performers together is going to provide
an energy and inspiration for everyone
involved in the arts at Temple.”
“It’s a very exciting time to be a student at Tyler. In part
because a promised and anticipated move that we have
considered for 20 years is fi nally coming to fruition. The
fi ne and performing arts provide an expression of the
human spirit.”
Hart has been breaking ground every step of her career
and as the Tyler School of Art breaks ground this January,
Ann Weaver Hart will be at the forefront.
Tyler School of Art and Temple University
have received record support from its
faculty and staff as part of the 2006
Together for Temple campaign. The total
amount of gifts and pledges for the
fi scal year ending in July was $3.7 million
dollars from 1,807 faculty/staff donors.
This yields more than $7.5 million total
dollars from employees over the course
of the comprehensive campaign which
started in July 2002.
Response from Tyler’s faculty and staff has
been particularly impressive with records
of $23,990 from 60 faculty/staff donors
towards scholarships, faculty, facilities,
research, and the community. The
participation levels and donations were
up signifi cantly from the year before and
are expected to continue to rise as the
message of investing in Tyler is dispersed
around campus.
The faculty/staff committee consists of
70 leadership members: one faculty
member and one staff member from each
school. Carmina Cianculli, assistant dean
of admissions, and Rochelle Toner, dean
emeritus, have served diligently as Tyler
School of Art’s faculty/staff committee
representatives this past year.
To be able to approach donors,
corporations, and foundations with an
impressive faculty/staff giving percentage
is a powerful persuading point. “We are
thrilled with this response,” says Stuart
Sullivan, vice president for development
and alumni affairs, “This is a tremendous
start for the faculty and staff campaign.”

Great Teacher Awards:
Two Tyler Faculty Honored
As a painter, Stanley Whitney ordinarily communicates his
thoughts and ideas through vivid brush strokes. But for 32
years, he has shown equal skill with a different kind of canvas
— the students. “As an artist, I am eternally silent, so in the
classroom, I get a chance to be creative through my lesson
plans,” Whitney said.
Whitney is a professor in the painting, drawing and sculpture
department at the Tyler School of Art. His unique ability to
captivate and educate art students, residents and fellows
alike has earned him a 2006 Temple University Great
Teacher Award.
“Stanley has motivated me and countless other students
to pursue art consciously, intellectually, politically and
critically,” a former Tyler student said. “He never lets a
student slip through a course casually and requires a rigorous
thoughtfulness from both the students who are struggling
and those who are not.”
Whitney earned his bachelor’s degree in fine art from the
Kansas City Art Institute and his master’s degree from Yale
University. He came to Temple in 1973 from a teaching
position at the University of Rhode Island. According to his
students, his honest critiques have gained him respect as an
educator while also keeping many in fearful anticipation of
his opinion. “He has the ability to rip you to shreds with one
phrase and leave you in the studio with the aftermath. But if
it wouldn’t have been for his candidness, I would not be the
artist I am today.”
“For me, teaching has its
rewards in knowing that I’m
talking to young people who will
be the future of the art world,”
Whitney said proudly. “Having
input into the future gives
me a chance to make a real
mark on the art profession in a
different way than I can with my
paintings.” - STANLEY WHITNEY
“I love watching students grow
intellectually. And I truly
like teaching entry-level,
introductory courses, so I can
enable students to see the
potentials of art and of history
and share my enthusiasm for
the subject matter.”
- DR. THERESE DOLAN
Dr. Therese Dolan herself acknowledges her own deep-rooted
drive to learn, accompanied by a passion for teaching. At age
four, she ran away—to school, following her older sister to
her kindergarten class “because I wanted to be in school and
learn new things.”
The results of a Kuder Preference Test she took in high school
suggested she was best suited for a career as a stand-up
comedian, and while her lectures are peppered with humor,
she cannot remember ever wanting to do anything but teach.
“The first question on that Kuder Preference Test in high
school was ‘Which would you prefer to do? 1) Read a book,
2) Listen to music or 3) Visit an art museum’ and I puzzled
over my response because I wanted to do all three.” Teaching
has been the perfect profession that has allowed me to do
all of them.
The opportunity to work as a governess in Rome for a year
opened her eyes to the worlds of both art and history. “I
taught myself Rome, took Italian classes and traveled all over
Europe,” she recalled. “I was hooked. When I came back, I
began studying art history at Bryn Mawr.” She earned both
her master’s and doctoral degrees and joined the art history
faculty at Temple’s Tyler School of Art in 1981. And the rest,
as they say, is (art) history!
“She is a passionate and innovative scholar … a dedicated
teacher and an incredibly engaging communicator [who]
brings the study of art alive for her students,” wrote a
former student and colleague. “She pushes her students to
move beyond reactionary opinion and become independent
thinkers.”
Even after decades at the front of a classroom, she confesses
to still feeling nervous before every lecture. “The truth is I
barely sleep at all the night before the first day of the new
semester. I’m that anxious to teach and learn. And to do my
best.” And clearly, she has. On April 11, Dolan received a
2006 Great Teacher Award.

Destination: Marfa,TX
Twenty-one students in the painting, drawing and sculpture
(PDS) MFA programs ventured to Marfa, Texas, for four
days in May this past summer. Marfa is hometown to the
Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art museum based
upon the ideas of its founder, Donald Judd. The specific
intention of Chinati is to preserve and present permanent
large-scale installations to the general public. The emphasis
is on works in which art and the surrounding landscapes
are inextricably linked.
The Chinati Foundation is located on 340 acres of land on
the site of former Fort D.A. Russell in Marfa. Construction
and installation at the site began in 1979 and opened to
the public in 1986 as an independent, non–profit, publicly
funded institution. Chinati was originally conceived to exhibit
the work of Donald Judd, John Chamberlain and Dan Flavin,
but has since grown to include other artists.
Erin Arnold, Sarah Kohn, Joe Protheroe, Meaghan Bates in
front of a Dan Flavin installation at the Chinati Foundation.
Margo Margolis, chair of the PDS department, organized
the venture to Marfa. Margo stated, “Although this work
is familiar to artists and art students, you feel like you are
seeing it for the first time because the work is in its intended
context—the integration of art, architecture, landscape and
light. These pieces take on a complexity never represented
in most installations and reproductions.” Three other faculty
attended: Frank Bramblett, Winifred Lutz, and Jude Tallichet,
along with the director of exhibitions and public programs,
Sheryl Conkelton.
14 TYLER GESTURES WINTER 2006
Student Response: Maria Walker
“The Marfa trip certainly offered us experiences we could
never have from the home base of Philadelphia, and expanded
our notions of what it is to be an artist in profound ways. As
artists, it is extremely important to go out into the world and
see as much as possible, both in relation to art itself and to
expand our daily visual experience. The landscape of that area
of Texas, the installation of the Judd pieces in that landscape,
the difference of space, time, light, and color, inspire and
challenge my thoughts of my own studio practice.
“If the aim of graduate school
is to open up and challenge
our understanding and vision
of what it is to be an artist,
then the Marfa trip remains
invaluable.”
- MARIA WALKER,
GRADUATE STUDENT
The Chinati Foundation
was a specific vision
for Donald Judd. It was
great to see the full
expanse of that vision,
from the organization of
the Foundation to the
installation of the pieces.
Living so close to the New
York art world, it is easy
to limit one’s notion of art
to the white gallery space.
It was also invaluable to
take a trip like that with my fellow graduate students. The
excursion helped us bond outside the structure of school and
to acknowledge our relationships as a community of artists.
This community is very important since it will be, for most of
us, the foundation of our futures as professional artists.”
Student Response: Sarah Kohn
Students and faculty at Marfa, Texas
this past May.
“It was interesting to see how much the presence of art can
completely change a town. Everything from the population to
the industry to the economy was changed because of Donald
Judd’s determined fixation of the town of Marfa. The cultural
and social impact that art can facilitate is made especially clear
in the microcosm that is Marfa.
We spent time in the actual town of Marfa touring the various
foundations and attractions and then traveled to a natural hot
spring. Ultimately the best part of the trip was being able to
spend time with my peers, running around and exploring a
very strange place at the end of the year. I remember talking
to a few people about how nice it was that our relationships
with each other over the course of the four days were moved
in such a positive direction. I feel fortunate to have been able
to go to Marfa and I am leaving Tyler with an especially warm
feeling for the whole department.”

Tyler’s 2006
Graduation Ceremony
The graduation ceremony was held on Thursday, May 18, 2006.
Hundreds of people eager for celebration gathered on the lawn
in front of Tyler Hall to watch the Class of 2006 receive their
diplomas.
Tyler’s Dean, Keith Morrison, gave the keynote address.
As a distinguished artist, art educator, curator, art critic and
administrator, his background covers most of the student’s
interest areas. He spoke of growing up in Jamaica and wanting
to study art, but
“A A C A R E E R PAT H
F O R A N A R T I S T I S
U N P R E D I C TA B L E A N D
A D V E N T U R O U S.”
- K E I T H M O R R I S O N
never thinking past
studying art to
pursuing a career in
art. He fi gured he
would simply head
back to Jamaica and
load bananas onto
boats at the docks.
A career path for an
artist is unpredictable
and adventurous.
Two seniors were nominated as student speakers and
happened to have a history of being college sweethearts. Julia
Davis graduated summa cum laude with a BFA in graphic and
interactive design and Bill Melone graduated with a BFA in
painting and art history. They met and became friends while

living in the dorms and through their involvement in the
Bible study, Tyler Christian Fellowship. They were married on
October 8, 2006 in Leola, Pennsylvania.
Melone remarked, “One of many things I learned during my
time at Tyler is that you don’t need to create art or live a life or
say a saying that absolutely defi es categorization and is totally
original. Take a cliché—something simple, known, perhaps
obvious, and add a new inch to it. You don’t need to jump ten
feet, you only need to jump an inch. You don’t stay with the
cliché but you add what you have to it.”
Davis continued, “Being an artist means that I have been
gifted with talents, and Tyler was a specifi c opportunity to
grow those talents. In the process of making art, we ourselves
are part of a larger process. We are living out these verbs of
creation, building visual worlds for ourselves while carrying this
responsibility of building into the bigger world around us.”
Following graduation, hundreds of students, parents, alumni,
faculty and friends gathered for a yearly tradition in Penrose
Hall. As part of the admissions requirements, each student
must create a self-portrait upon entering Tyler as a freshman
and then these same masterpieces re-emerge upon their
graduation.

alumni association president’s message
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,
I am honored to take over the role of
president for the Tyler School of Art Alumni
Association after Nancy McDonald served
diligently for fi ve years. I graduated from Tyler
in 1982 as a ceramics/glass major. The Tyler
faculty, departmental programs, and facilities
created an educational community that fostered a magnetic
vitality that has stayed with me since I graduated.
Currently, I am a studio artist, where I use both glass and metal
in my work. I teach my craft at area art centers to adults, teens,
and youth at risk. My husband, Jon Clark, is a professor in the
glass department at Tyler and we reside in the Elkins Park area.
I encourage you to attend the events and visit Tyler’s campus,
especially in this time of educational advancement as we plan
ahead for our re-location to Philadelphia. I know you will fi nd
yourself inspired and proud to be a graduate of Tyler. With
your dedication and support for Tyler, the Alumni Association
Board can continue to create more opportunities for alumni
engagement.
Sincerely,
Patti Dougherty
President, Tyler School of Art Alumni Association

VICTORY FOR TYLER
Alumni Exhibition Series:
Painting 2007
The inaugural alumni exhibition held in March of 2005
attracted over 300 people during the course of its
one month debut. The phenomenal attendance rate
and positive feedback from alumni have inspired the
board to host another alumni exhibition. This April, the
biennial alumni exhibition, “Victory for Tyler,” will be
open to the general public at the Ice Box Project Space
on 1400 North American Street in Philadelphia.
“Victory for Tyler” is a chance to re-connect, educate,
and engage Tyler alumni—a primary aim of the Alumni
Association’s mission. The goal of the exhibition will
be to raise fi nancial support for Tyler’s Exhibitions and
Public Programs.
While there will be future exhibitions in every medium,
this year’s exhibition is painting and all Tyler alumni were
invited to submit work. All submissions will be juried by
Jenelle Porter, associate curator, ICA, Philadelphia. There
will be a price list at the event and a portion of the
proceeds from the pieces sold will be donated to Tyler.
A juror’s prize of $1,000 will also be awarded.
Save the dates:
FRIDAY, APRIL 13...................SHOW OPENING
SATURDAY, APRIL 14.............OPENING RECEPTION
SUNDAY, APRIL 29.................SHOW CLOSING
In-kind gifts have been generously offered by Tyler
affi liates to decrease the fi nancial strain of the exhibition.
Victory Brewing Company of Downingtown, PA, owned
by Tyler graduate Bill Covaleski, BFA ’85 has offered
to sponsor the event. His company will assist with
advertising and promotions, while donating personnel
and beer for the event. The Crane Building, co-owned
by professors Nicholas Kripal and Richard Hricko, MFA
’79, of the Tyler School of Art, donated one week of free
gallery space to the Tyler Alumni Association. RIS the
paper house donated paper for all the communication
pieces. Temple University Alumni Association rewarded
Tyler a $5,000 grant to overwrite some of the costs.
Putting together this exhibit has once again illustrated
the commitment of the Tyler community in contributing
resources. Truly, our pool of alumni and friends has
created a powerful, forward momentum.

director of development’s message
DEAR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF TYLER,
I hope you are enjoying the newly designed
newsletter. It’s just one of the changes from
the offi ce of development and alumni affairs.
Please let us know how you feel about the
new format.
Another change is the establishment of the alumni exhibition
as a bi-annual event. You have just recently received a call for
entries brochure requesting your submission. I’m personally
looking forward to seeing all the submissions that will come
in for Victory for Tyler.
The other news is that we have had our best fundraising year
ever, with more than $1.5 million added to the scholarship
endowment alone. Thank you all for your support over the years.
So many alumni and friends send a check with their alumni
news. It is greatly appreciated. One factor in the ranking of any
college is the level of alumni participation in the annual fund.
Your donation, of any amount, contributes to this important
number. Tyler’s new rankings will be unveiled next year and as
always we expect our programs to be near the top.
However, our biggest opportunities for private support are in
the future, as Tyler goes through a period of great change and
growth. Dean Keith Morrison will be an agent of change as
Tyler moves from an obsolescent campus to a new building on
Temple University’s main campus. His vision for Tyler includes a
focus on urbanism, a much wider international scope, a deeper
commitment to community arts and a greater connection to
the great urban art centers.
The dean’s new vision and the vibrant new building will combine
to attract the best students and faculty to Tyler. As Tyler makes
this transformation there will be much private support from
alumni, art lovers in Philadelphia, private foundations and
corporations.
Sincerely,
Gregory Murphy
Director of Development and Alumni Affairs
