Other Accomplishments: 1) Enhance and Strengthen the Department’s position in the local, regional and national art
community. This was achieved by faculty art exhibits at regional and national venues (Fred Dalkey at the Crocker Art Museum, Chris
D’Aubert at the Davis Art Center, Michael LeCompte and Anne Gregory at Eccentrique Gallery and others). Our students also had many
shows at local galleries, some organized by the faculty. Additionally, our faculty contributed art to the KVIE Annual Art Auction, had
work commissioned by the Sacramento Kings organization, judges local art exhibits, and had work selected for the Art in Public Places
Commission (Kathleen Noonan and Eun Cho). Our faculty were recognized for their position in the art community; this is especially
exemplified by the nomination of Fred Dalkey to the National Academy of Art and Design. Our faculty also sit on numerous Museum
and Gallery Boards of Directors 2) Increase connections with K-12 Art departments. The Department has created a Faculty liaison
with the local High School Art Departments to increase our communication and connections with our primary feeder schools. We
continue to lead numerous tours of our facilities for High School classes. 3) Establish Work Related programs to assist our students in
careers in Art. We are in the process of establishing an internship program that will begin the in Fall of 2002 with the Crocker Art
Museum

Department
Justification
The current Art Department is utilizing outdated, frequently unusable, and extremely unsafe
buildings spaces. We have outgrown our facility, and cannot repair many of the items that are
necessary to ensure a quality education for our students. In order to support our program, and to
ensure a high transfer rate to four-year colleges and Universities, we must be able to teach our
classes in well-lit, spacious, adequately ventilated and safe classrooms.
Needed in order to replace retired faculty and to reach full-time/part-time ratio as mandated by the
state.
We have already hired the faculty member to teach this new program, but are unable to offer the
courses, as we do not have adequate space or equipment necessary. This is a program that will
establish our department among the leaders in the new artistic technology, and we must provide a
certain level of equipment and space in order to proceed with the implementation of this program.
Currently our Ceramic, Jewelry and printmaking classrooms do not have adequate ventilation nor
air-filtration systems in place. This creates a substantial health hazard for our students, staff and
faculty and must be remedied to comply with State and Federal regulations
The Art Department has not had an increase in our operating budget in many years, yet we
continue to serve an increasing number of students per year. We are serving this growing
population on steady or dwindling revenue, and cannot continue to sustain quality education
without this increase in the operating budget. This increase would aid in the development of new
slides for our Art History Courses, and other materials for our courses, which are presently being
purchased for SCC by the faculty.
By upgrading and updating our audio-visual equipment in our classrooms, we would be able to
maintain the highest standards of visual teaching. Currently, we are often unable to utilize certain
visual technologies, due to that lack of adequate equipment in our classrooms
See above
We are currently using borrowed and outdated equipment, and are using some equipment that is
unsafe. We must replace items that have been used for 10+ years, although they only have a life
expectancy of 5. Many of the items we do have cannot be fixed, due to the lack of available parts
to fix them.
