Artist Catherine Opie, incoming chair of UCLA's art department, steps back from her role at MOCA and will fundraise for student scholarships instead.

The billionaire philanthropist donated $2.7 billion to 286 arts, educational and social justice organizations. Here are some of the SoCal recipients.I would like to bring in at least $10 million in the next three years to UCLA to have ongoing security in scholarships. And then the more endowed professorships we can give create a kind of security, physically, in terms of hiring adjunct [faculty].

It wasn’t within the faculty, but we’ve done an enormous amount to address that within the faculty over the past five years. Also, I want to talk to the other faculty — I haven’t been chair yet — and I want to know what their concerns are. Coming out of a pandemic, there might be other concerns I’m not aware of because I did have a sabbatical year. I think it’s about that kind of collectivity with the rest of the faculty in terms of setting an agenda for the next five years.

The thing I’m most concerned about is the class of 2020 and not being able to have their thesis shows as graduate students. That is the culmination of one’s work in a grad program, to get to have a thesis show. So what can we do in relationship to those graduates that didn’t necessarily have the same kind of experience in being able to show their work to a public audience.I could see keeping certain aspects of what we learned from the pandemic. In-person lectures are always best with artists.
