Visit the 77th Student Independent Exhibition
| |
|
Now in its 77th year, the Cleveland Institute of Art's Student Independent Exhibition (SIE) is an honored tradition that’s never conventional. Organized entirely by students, who choose the jurors and mount the exhibition, SIE offers fresh—and sometimes surprising—approaches to contemporary art.
The exhibition will open from 6 to 9pm Friday, February 17 in Reinberger Gallery and remain on view through March 19. An awards ceremony will be held at 7pm during the opening reception. This year's SIE jurors include Susan Danko '98, Erykah Townsend '20 and Justin Wong, who are scheduled to speak during Lunch on Fridays from 12:15 to 1:30pm Friday, February 10 in CIA’s Peter B. Lewis Theater.

Faculty Emeriti Robert Jergens '60 passes away
| |
It is with deep sadness that we share news of the passing of Robert Jergens ’60, who taught at CIA from 1969 through 2000. Jergens was awarded faculty emeritus status in 2001, and in 2016, he earned the prestigious CIA Medal of Excellence (the Burchfield Award) for artistic achievement. He established the Robert Jergens '60 Scholarship for Excellence in Foundation Design, which helped dozens of artists and designers studying craft from 1998 through 2017. He attended Yale University after graduating from CIA and was the recipient of multiple honors including the Rome Prize for Painting in 1961 and a renewal in 1962; first prize in painting at the Mostra Universitaria Internazionale d’Arts Figurative in Rome and multiple prizes at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s May Show. Several of his works are archived at the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve in Cleveland. We extend our deepest sympathies to all who knew and worked with him.
