SO, WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

In April 2010, MassArt launched its $140 million transformational campaign.

As of July 1, 2011, we are at 89 percent of our goal. To reach the finish line, we

need your help.

The campaign is about staying at the forefront of art and design; preserving

our legacy as the oldest and only independent public art college in the nation;

remaining committed to diversity, individual creativity, and collaboration; spark-

ing cross-disciplinary learning opportunities; embracing new technologies; influ-

encing contemporary culture; growing partnerships with neighboring colleges,

museums, and businesses; and strengthening community engagement efforts.

Launched by former President Kay Sloan and now guided by President

Dawn Barrett and a dedicated team of leaders, the campaign pools together

private support with guaranteed public funding and allows us to focus on

three key areas:

Raising our endowment from $9 million to $17 million so we can attract top

talent with fellowships, grants, and financial aid, as well as broaden our

community outreach.

Growing our presence along Huntington Avenue while strengthening our

campus community by finishing renovations to the Campus Center;

completing construction of the Residence Hall; breaking ground on the

Center for Design and Media, scheduled for spring 2012; and renovating the

Bakalar & Paine Galleries, scheduled for spring 2014.

Elevating our annual giving to $2 million so we can add more scholarship

awards and attract the most talented students to campus.

The time has come to raise the remaining funds to transform our college, our

community, and our status as one of the best art and design colleges in the

country. With 89 percent already raised, we’re almost there.

While MassArt remains one of the top schools for painters, printmakers,

sculptors, and other fine artists, we’re also now grooming the next

generation of animators, architects, industrial designers, and new media

professionals. And though they don’t conjure up the traditional image of

an artist splattered in paint or clay, they’re applying their talents in an

equally creative way — designing blockbuster video games, developing

medical technology that saves lives, and creating computer software that

fuels business.

This certainly isn’t the future state legislators could have imagined

when they founded MassArt in 1873 as the first publicly supported art school

in the United States. Back then, they were more interested in training quali-

fied drawing instructors to fill a void in the state’s manufacturing industries.

But as the years passed, school administrators added new academic

programs to keep up with the changing times. Eventually, MassArt grew

into what it is today — a creative center for free-thinking artists, designers,

and educators; a college that prepares students to influence contemporary

culture and fuel the creative economy; a small school with big ideas for

helping its neighborhood, city, and region thrive well into the future.

Meaningful transformation requires vision,

commitment, and creativity—and that’s

what we have with this campaign. Our city,

our students, and our economy will truly

benefit from MassArt’s bold plans.

We arrived here not by following trends, but rather, sticking to principles —

understanding that diversity should always be embraced, that an arts

education should be accessible and affordable, and that partnerships ignite

and embolden creativity. Principles that the MassArt board of trustees and

administrative leaders have followed to guide the college to unprecedented

success in recent years. Enrollment has jumped nearly fifteen percent

since 2004, with more students now coming from out of state; our endow-

ment, though still lagging, has tripled in the last eight years; we’ve added

in-demand academic programs such as master’s degrees in architecture

and dynamic media; we’ve expanded our international exchange pro-

gram to forty-five colleges around the world; and we’ve grown our faculty

with diverse, talented professionals who continue to win Guggenheims,

Fulbrights, NEA grants, and other impressive awards.

If you look through MassArt’s

academic programs, you won’t

find electronic multimedia listed

as a major anywhere. But that’s

the term Josh Randall uses for

his degree as an open major

at MassArt. You see, before he

joined Harmonix and helped

launch ground-breaking music

video games such as Guitar Hero,

Rock Band, Karaoke Revolution,

and all their sequels, Randall was

an undergrad interested in film,

video, and interrelated media.

So he asked for permission to

tailor a program that blended

his passions together.

“MassArt provided me with this

great environment that I could

really experiment in. They were

gracious to let me shape my

own destiny.”

As we embrace the second decade of a new century, MassArt now faces

new challenges — and new opportunities. With this campaign, we’re

enhancing our reputation locally, nationally, and abroad; creating exciting

new interdisciplinary learning opportunities for our students and faculty;

breathing life into the economy; opening up new partnership opportunities

with our neighbors; establishing our presence as a major force along

the Avenue of the Arts; and continuing our legacy as one of the most

innovative art and design colleges in the world — and still the only

independent public art college in the United States.

Steve Locke never pictured

himself teaching. He thought

his career would solely involve

exhibiting his artwork at studios,

galleries, and museums. But

now he can’t picture himself

not teaching.

Locke got the bug after teaching

an introductory painting course

while finishing up his MFA at

MassArt. After graduating, he

taught part time at MassArt and

various other colleges in greater

Boston — all while continuing to

pursue his career as a painter.

When a full-time position in

the art education department

opened up in 2004, he applied

and got it.

“This is such a great place to be.

MassArt is so supportive of fac-

ulty who are practicing artists.”

In 2002, MassArt presented an innovative

proposal to state legislators called the New

Partnership. It was a paradigm shift in state-

funded higher education — and a new model for

public colleges and universities around

the country.

Recognizing the need to strengthen the

college’s financial independence — especially

in light of proposed cutbacks in state funding

for higher education — MassArt’s leadership

developed a plan that called for greater control

over the college’s performance standards,

including setting and retaining tuition, in

exchange for smaller state appropriations.

The proposal passed.

Now, a decade later, the results of the

partnership ripple throughout the college.

Our enrollment is on the rise, with more students

coming from outside of Massachusetts. The

number of full-time undergraduate faculty has

increased at a healthy clip. Our endowment

has grown to more than three times its pre-

partnership level, as funders express renewed

confidence that their gifts to the MassArt

Foundation — a separate 501(c)(3) organization

with an independent board of directors — are

secure. And we’ve strengthened our relationships

with area colleges by sharing resources and

adding student enrichment opportunities.

After years of planning, the campaign launched with great success. With

nearly 90 percent of our $140 million goal already reached, there are visible

signs of progress everywhere — and promise for greater things to come.

The Campus Center is open for business, with its beautiful new dining hall,

student development offices, a student-run gallery, and first-class retail

shop — MassArt Made — which features the work of MassArt alumni, faculty,

and students.

The new $61.4 million Residence Hall* has risen from an empty parking lot

into a 21-story architectural gem along Huntington Avenue that will start

housing students in September 2012.

The Center for Design and Media*, now completely funded at $33 million,

will be a state-of-the-art facility combining technology with art and

design curriculum.

These exciting projects will then be followed by the dramatic new

renovations to the Bakalar & Paine Galleries, scheduled to begin in 2014.

MassArt is the perfect example of how

creative talent contributes to economic

development and quality of life. Their

alumni are today’s workforce in museums,

galleries, classrooms, and businesses

throughout the commonwealth.

It will be the largest free contemporary art destination in Boston; an

8,000-square-foot masterpiece that houses the cutting-edge Bakalar

& Paine contemporary art galleries, classrooms for community and art

education programs, and a multipurpose performance and lecture hall. It’s

the final step in MassArt’s $140-million campaign to transform the

campus, inspire the community, and spur the creative economy. And it’s a

rare opportunity for donors to make a significant impact on MassArt’s

mission and Boston’s cultural landscape for generations to come.

It’s only fitting that the Bakalar & Paine Galleries serve as the centerpieces

to this $16.1-million capital improvement project, having showcased museum-

quality exhibitions for decades — truly contemporary works of art unlike

any in the city of Boston. With extensive renovations to their South Hall

location — a building that dates back to 1907 — the galleries will no longer

have limits on the types of installations and artwork they can present.

They’ll have a climate-controlled environment that allows for year-round

programming and the exhibition of some of the most delicate works on

loan from major institutions. They’ll have safety and accessibility upgrades

that comply with ADA regulations, including visitor amenities, ramps, and

elevators. All of which will put them in a position to earn accreditation

from the American Association of Museums, which will only help bolster

their reputation and reach among museums and contemporary artists and

designers around the world.

martha kemp ’88 MS, Art Education

While it was an installation of

large-scale audio speakers that

introduced Martha Kemp’s fifth

grade class to the Bakalar &

Paine Galleries, it was an exhibi-

tion of Mary McFadden’s evening

gowns that really sent them into

a creative frenzy.

Kemp, a visual arts teacher at

the Mather School in Boston,

brought her art students to

see the installations as part of

the Looking to Learn pro-

gram — MassArt’s educational

outreach program that intro-

duces fourth through twelfth

grade students from Boston

Public Schools to contemporary

art. She was so impressed with

the program that she got permis-

sion from her colleagues to bring

the entire fifth grade. “It’s made

a big impact on our students. It’s

always educational and fun.”

The renovated galleries will feature an iconic new pavilion that stretches

out from South Hall to greet visitors and serves as a highly visible

entrance directly on Huntington Avenue. Inside, a welcoming lobby and

event and reception space, complete with a dramatic staircase, will offer

easy access to the 2,500-square foot Bakalar Gallery on the first floor and

the 3,300-square foot Paine Gallery on the second. Five new spaces devoted

to community learning will also be added: a 125-person multipurpose per-

formance and lecture hall for events and community gatherings; a learning

center, where individuals can expand their object and visual literacy; process

galleries, where visitors can investigate how art is made; and an education

studio, where community programs will be planned and prepared. These

much-needed spaces will allow the curatorial staff to grow their commu-

nity art education outreach programs and allow more MassArt students to

work with visiting artists and learn first-hand about designing and curating

exhibitions.

While the aesthetics of the renovated galleries will likely garner the most

praise and attention, renovations to the “back of house” will be equally

important to realizing MassArt’s full potential for attracting the most

talented contemporary artists to campus. These improvements include

adding a loading dock and controlled receiving area, an exhibition prep

room for matting and framing, a carpentry and fabrication workshop, and

plenty of storage for supplies — practical, necessary infrastructural changes

that allow the galleries’ curatorial staff to receive, construct, and install a

much broader array of artwork and exhibitions. By transforming both the

front and back of house, the Bakalar & Paine Galleries will open up a myriad

of new opportunities to interact with art in meaningful ways.14

The firm chosen to bring these plans to life is Machado and Silvetti

Associates, a Boston-based architecture and urban design firm noted for its

unique expertise in art museums and educational institutions. Named by

Architect Magazine in 2011 as one of the best firms in the U.S., Machado and

Silvetti’s impressive portfolio includes the Bowdoin College Museum of Art,

Provincetown Art Association and Museum, and Getty Villa in California. For

its work — which can be found around the globe, from Berlin to Beirut — the

firm has earned numerous accolades, including the AIA Brick in Architecture

Award, 10 Progressive Architecture awards and citations, 13 design awards

from the New England AIA chapter, 17 Boston Society of Architects awards,

and the prestigious International Award for Architecture in Stone.

Creating these state-of-the-art facilities will foster learning, creativity, and

academic inquiry, allowing the galleries to connect deeply with MassArt’s

curriculum and mission — and transform them into a “must visit” destination

in what could now be called the “Art Museum District,” with the recently

renovated Museum of Fine Arts and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum

nearby. This is important to our campus, to future artists and designers, and

to our promise to be an educational and cultural resource for the citizens

of Massachusetts and beyond.

It’s quite remarkable the types of exhibitions

you’ll see at the Bakalar & Paine Galleries.

This is cutting-edge contemporary art you

simply won’t see anywhere else.

No vision for the future would be complete without a strong endowment. It’s

the cornerstone of growth and stability, a barometer of progress and potential.

While MassArt has made significant strides over the past decade increasing

its total, we’re still not where we need to be. This campaign moves us in the

right direction, nearly doubling our endowment to more than $17 million.

This means additional funding for faculty fellowships so instructors like

John Russell — an art history professor who won an award to complete his

research on important archeological excavations in Syria — can explore

their passions and apply what they discover in the classroom. It means grow-

ing our visiting artist program so we can draw more high-profile names to

campus like Trenton Doyle Hancock, a master printmaker, who recently spent

a week at MassArt working with our students. It means increasing support

for the Center for Art & Community Partnerships, which connects students

with local companies such as Merck Research Laboratories and non-profits

like the Boston Medical Center to tackle projects that make a positive

contribution to our neighborhood and beyond. And it means additional

dollars for scholarships and financial aid, so we can continue to attract

the most talented students from around the country.

Some people look at the size of a school’s endowment as a sign of its

prestige, its quality, or perhaps the success of its alumni. But that doesn’t

work with MassArt. Yes, we’ve been around since 1873. And yes, we’re now

considered one of the top art and design programs in the country, with

alumni making an immeasurable difference around the world. But our

endowment is still in its infancy with a lot of room to grow. That’s why we

need your help. We have an opportunity to build on the momentum created

by college leadership, who’ve helped triple the endowment in the past eight

years. It’s now time to raise it to a level that better reflects the exceptional

quality of our academic programs and opens up exciting new opportunities

for growth and prosperity. With your support, we will.

paul and wes kargerManaging Partners, Twin Focus

Capital Partners

When analyzing investments,

brothers Paul and Wes Karger

look for “alpha,” or bang for

the buck. And when they first

attended MassArt’s annual

auction nine years ago, they

knew they discovered it.

The Kargers, founders of the

global investment firm Twin

Focus Capital Partners, are avid

art collectors with a passion

for raising the level of arts and

education in Boston. After learn-

ing about MassArt’s mission,

they’ve contributed considerable

time and resources to the college.

“It’s exciting to be a part of the

next generation of talent,” said

Wes, who also serves on the

MassArt Foundation board.

“Every new person we introduce

to the college is amazed at the

quality people and offerings.”

Many people already know about MassArt’s

reputation for training artists. But what’s

equally impressive is how their design

graduates are driving our economy through

their work with the business community.

Maintaining the college’s 138-year-old tradition of offering equal access to

education requires keeping tuition affordable for those in need. Currently,

seventy-nine percent of students receive some form of financial aid. That’s

why the Annual Fund is so important. Through this annual fundraising

program we’re able to offset these costs by providing scholarships and other

financial assistance to our students.

The Annual Fund also supports several academic programs and resources

critical to our mission, including the Writing Center, Center for Art &

Community Partnerships, Global Education Fund, and Morton R. Godine

Library. Given cutbacks in state funding, now less than twenty-five

percent of our annual budget, there’s a greater need than ever before to

keep these worthy initiatives strong and viable.

That’s why we need your help. This campaign increases contributions to the

Annual Fund from $1.5 million to $2 million — which allows us to continue

offering an accessible, exceptional art and design education to students

from all walks of life.

Ways to Give

The MassArt Foundation has made contributing to this campaign

simple and flexible. You can donate cash, securities, or other assets,

or sign up for direct funding through a donor advised fund. You

also may commit to a multi-year pledge ranging from two to five

years, or choose a planned giving option such as setting up a

charitable remainder trust or charitable gift annuity. There also

are many naming opportunities available with our capital improve-

ment projects. We look forward to helping you find the right gift

options for you.

The Massachusetts College of Art and Design Foundation

All funds raised through this campaign go directly to the MassArt

Foundation, an independent 501(c)(3) charitable organization

founded twenty-five years ago. Designed to offer financial assis-

tance to the college’s academic programs and vision for the future,

its primary focus is supporting scholarships and financial aid. An

independent board of directors and professional staff manage the

foundation and its yearly fundraising programs. The foundation’s

endowment includes permanently and temporarily restricted funds,

which are professionally invested by an independent financial

manager and overseen by an investment committee. Its financial

records are subject to an independent annual audit. The foundation’s

IRS 990 forms are available at GuideStar.org.
