Dolph Gotelli Environmental Design Recipient 1999-2000 Since 1975, Professor Gotelli has presented six exhibitions annually to more than 10,000 visitors at the campus’s Design Gallery. Typically, the exhibitions relate to some aspect of design, folk or ethnic arts, and are curated by Professor Gotelli. During the past 25 years, Gotelli has created more than 180 exhibitions or lectures for nonprofit organizations and some 40 exhibitions, lectures or event consultations for public organizations. Professor Gotelli has also supported creative arts efforts by providing aesthetic advice to groups planning fund-raisers and arts events. Locally he has worked with organizers of the Davis Bicycle Parade, with the Creative Arts League of Sacramento, the Sacramento Zoological Society and the Boys and Girls Club of Sacramento. A recent example of an exhibition that reached beyond the immediate region was Professor Gotelli’s Christmas exhibition at the Filoli Mansion in Woodside. In this show, he filled the main ballroom with vignettes from his personal collection of holiday memorabilia. The project was a fund-raiser for the maintenance of the Filoli Mansion and Gardens. Professor Gotelli is also active in international efforts to expand public awarness and appreciation of visual communication, cultural heritage and the creative spirit of people. He participates in the Asia Pacific Applied Arts Forum, an international group of designers who are committed to sharing the arts and culture of their nations via the Web, serving as the U.S. coordinator/curator. |
