Biography/History
The Craft and Folk Art Museum (still operating at its original location at 5814 Wilshire Blvd.) has been an extraordinarily
active institution both in its first incarnation as the commercial folk art and crafts gallery, The Egg and The Eye (1965-1975),
and then as the nonprofit museum (1975-1997) that carried on the gallery's interest in contemporary crafts and international
folk art, and in the eighties added product design and vernacular architecture to its program. Founded by Edith R. Wyle,
it was a showcase for the material culture of the world at a time when there were few ethnically-specific art institutions
in Los Angeles. It was a pioneer in the involvement of local cultural communities in the planning and execution of exhibitions
of folk art; it was a prestigious venue for the exhibition of the best of contemporary fine craft; and it was one of the first
museums to show architectural and furniture prototypes. For almost 20 years, it sponsored a beloved annual event, the Festival
of Masks, that involved over 100 local cultural groups in a weekend of festivities: a masked parade, two days of nonstop performances,
food, and demonstration booths run by many of the local community organizations. It was the first-and for many years the
only--L.A. organization to sponsor this type of multicultural event.
Edith R. Wyle founded The Egg and The Eye in 1965, a commercial folk art and crafts gallery, which evolved into the Craft
and Folk Art Museum in 1975. (The museum received its nonprofit status from the IRS in April 1973, but the first exhibitions
organized by CAFAM were not mounted until August 1975.) CAFAM carried on the gallery's interest in contemporary crafts and
international folk art, and in the eighties added product design and vernacular architecture to its program. The museum was
a showcase for the material culture of the world at a time when there were few ethnically-specific art institutions in Los
Angeles. CAFAM was known for the involvement of local cultural communities in its planning and execution of exhibitions of
folk art, its exhibitions of contemporary fine craft, and for being one of the first museums to show architectural and furniture
prototypes. For almost 20 years, it sponsored the annual Festival of Masks, which involved over 100 local cultural groups
in a weekend of festivities: a masked parade, two days of nonstop performances, and food and demonstration booths run by many
of the local community organizations. It was the first, and for many years the only, Los Angeles organization to sponsor this
type of multicultural event.
After closing temporarily at the beginning of 1998 due to financial difficulties, the Museum sold its permanent object collection
at auction. It regrouped and reopened in the Spring of 1999 minus its permanent collections, its library (given to the L.A.
County Museum of Art Research Library), and its institutional archives (given to the UCLA Library).
Scope and Content
The Craft and Folk Art Museum Records consist of papers, publications, photographs, press clippings and media releases, slides,
audiotapes, videotapes, films, memorabilia, and objects. These materials document fully the life of the organization from
the opening of its predecessor, The Egg and The Eye Gallery, in 1965 until the temporary closing of the museum at the end
of 1997.
Besides administrative, trustee, departmental, and special events files, the most significant series within the archives are
those of CAFAM's predecessor, The Egg and The Eye Gallery; Craft and Folk Art Museum Exhibitions; Festival of Masks; the P.E.T.
(Preserving Ethnic Traditions) files; the Language of Objects Project files; and the files of the Center for the Study of
Art and Culture, an adjunct program of the CAFAM research library, intended to be a fellowship program and "think tank."
All exhibitions, festivals, and special events are documented with slides, as well as photographs, audiotapes, videotapes,
films, posters, and other memorabilia. The latter includes awards, t-shirts, signage, admission and promotional buttons,
etc.
Organization and Arrangement
The CAFAM Records are divided into 21 record groups; each record group is subdivided into a number of series. The record
groups correspond roughly to the original order of the files, most of which were created by staff of the various museum departments
or coordinators of events. Some record groups are divided by media, e.g., posters, memorabilia, audiovisual materials. There
is a good deal of cross-over of subject matter between record groups. For example, although most exhibition materials will
be found in Record Group 10 (Exhibitions), some materials related to grant-writing for exhibitions will probably be found
in Record Group 3 (Development); some media releases and correspondence related to exhibition publicity will be found in Record
Group 4 (Public Relations); and education programs related to exhibitions may be found in Record Group 6 (Education). Some
cross-references are provided in the scope notes but if one is looking for files related to a specific event or a particular
person, it will always be best to first do a keyword search. Within each series, files are generally in order either alphabetically
or chronologically, whichever is most appropriate to the series. A good deal of background information will be found in the
ScopeContent notes.

1. The Egg and The Eye Gallery
Scope and Contents note
The Egg and The Eye Gallery, predecessor to the Craft and Folk Art Museum, opened on November 1, 1965. It was a commercial
art gallery, showing both contemporary fine craft and international folk art, that included a restaurant specializing in many
kinds of omelettes. Founded by Edith R. Wyle and Bette Chase, and assisted initially by investments from about 30 shareholders,
it fit perfectly into the eclectic cultural mix of Los Angeles in the sixties. From the outset it was very successful as an
arts venue and social center, its restaurant and exhibitions that were unusual for an art gallery attracting people who would
often meet at “The Egg” for lunch, stop in at the gallery, and could then visit the L.A. County Museum of Art down the street
as well. Both the gallery and its restaurant were noted in national publications, attracting people from outside of Los Angeles.
From November 1965 through August 1975, at least 185 exhibitions were mounted at the gallery, between 12 - 27 shows per year,
usually with several exhibitions mounted in the same time period. Turnover of exhibitions was frequent. Lectures, workshops,
and film series were among the many programs available. A newsletter was published. Omelette-making classes were offered by
the restaurant’s first chef, Rodessa Moore, who was a local celebrity. The Egg and The Eye Association was a membership group
that supported the gallery and sponsored its own programs. Though it was very popular, the gallery was seldom profitable,
and it always had an educational component, so from the start, it operated more like a nonprofit gallery than a commercial
one. It was sometime in 1967 that Bette Chase left the partnership. Beginning in 1967, Edith Wyle began the process of establishing
a museum or cultural center that would transform the gallery into a nonprofit organization. In 1973, they received their IRS
nonprofit designation. It took two years to form a board of trustees and to hire professional staff. The last gallery exhibition
opened in June 1975. Series 1.02 (see Box 7) is a group of 10 file folders labeled "Transition to the Craft and Folk Art Museum."
For other documents concerning the transition (1967 - 1975), see also five file folders in Series 2.01 (Box 9, folders 13
- 17) labeled “General -- Formative Period.”
1.01 Egg and The Eye Gallery
1965-1975
Scope and Contents note
Arranged alphabetically in topical order and chronologically under each topic. Very few of the printed materials from The
Egg and The Eye period include notation of the year of the event; therefore, dates on these items are somewhat uncertain,
determined sometimes from the associated evidence of The Egg and The Eye newsletter and clippings from other news media. Included
here is the Prospectus for The Egg and The Eye Gallery, which was sent to potential shareholders, and various documents related
to its activities as a commercial gallery, which continued through the summer of 1975, even though the IRS had granted it
nonprofit status in 1973. A total of 185 exhibitions are documented here. It is believed that more exhibitions were held at
the Gallery, but the items in this collection are all that have been found to this point. For the records of the restaurant
during this period, see Box 6, folders 20 - 21; Box 22, folder 15; Box 479, folders 8 - 9; Box 537, folder 1; and Box 540,
folder 1. Gallery exhibition files are arranged chronologically. Dates in date field are opening dates only; see folder scope
notes for closing dates, where known. When more than one gallery exhibition opened on the same date, materials for all of
them are filed in the same folder. The content note for each exhibition folder lists exhibitions and artists shown during
that period. See also Series 4.03 Public Relations Department Record Group – Press Clippings. See also Series 14.05, Audiovisual
Materials Record Group -- Photographs Series. Some Egg and The Eye Gallery exhibitions are probably undocumented, but it has
been impossible to positively identify or date such exhibitions in lieu of any evidence except for gaps in the calendar. The
opening and (where known) closing dates of all of the exhibitions are listed on the front of the file folders. See also Series
1.02, Transition to the Craft and Folk Art Museum, for the period (1972 - 1975) when the museum board was being formed, museum
staff was being hired, and active plans were being made for what was at first the "Craft and Folk Art Museum Incorporating
the Egg and The Eye."

These files, which are arranged alphabetically by topic, were artificially created from a number of different sources, primarily

Exhibitions Record Group for catalogs), including newsletters produced in-house for staff and volunteers, and many clippings
of a general nature. Three legal-size file folders holding extra wide 1991-1993 CAFAM Calendars are in a separate box (Box

Gallery 3 at Santa Monica Place
1980 October 16 - 1981 September 30
Scope and Contents note
Gallery 3 was a gallery and shop of contemporary craft located in Santa Monica Place, the Frank Gehry-designed shopping mall.
The opening of the gallery was delayed from October 2 until October 16 because of a fire in the new mall at the Robinson’s
Department Store. The mall developers gave the space to CAFAM rent-free, but it was too expensive to maintain. It was occupied
by CAFAM for just one year, October 16, 1980 - September 30, 1981. Six exhibitions were mounted in Gallery 3 during that time.

After The Egg and The Eye Gallery became a museum, some of those who had worked primarily in gallery sales became part of
the museum shop sales staff. John Browse, who had been Assistant Director of the Gallery, became the Shop Manager. Dorothy
Garwood, who had been Contemporary Crafts Buyer for the Gallery became the Contemporary Craft Curator for the museum. Garwood
left in November 1975; Browse in March 1976. At that point, Ann Robbins, who had been Browse's Ass't Manager became Shop Manager
and Susan Skinner became Ass't Shop Manager. When Robbins resigned in August 1982, John Browse was rehired as Shop Manager;
Susan Skinner stayed on as Associate Shop Manager until March 1984. No files originating in the shop were salvaged for the
archives; however files regarding shop activities will be found in a number of different places. See Box 23, folder 18 – Box

were co-managers. A satellite shop opened next to the gallery in the May Company in January 1992, initially run by Sally Shishmanian,
and then by Martin Venzal, but the May Co. closed at the end of 1992 and CAFAM existed without a shop until the museum re-opened
in May 1995. Stella Krieger was hired to be the Manager of the new shop in December 1994.

2.02 Edith R. Wyle (ERW) Correspondence
ca. 1970 - 1984
Scope and Contents note
Arranged alphabetically by topic. Edith R. Wyle was the co-founder of The Egg and The Eye Gallery (with Bette Chase) and the
founder of the Craft and Folk Art Museum. Starting in 1973, she served as the Director and Curator of Folk Art until sometime
in 1977 when she began to serve co-equally as Program Director--with Patrick Ela as Administrative Director-- from 1977 -
1984. Wyle retired in late 1984 and then went on the board, taking on the title of Founder and Director Emeritus. Although
some documents in this file date to The Egg and The Eye Gallery period and the transition period, they are included here because
they were originally filed together in one file. These are Wyle's correspondence files that she left at CAFAM when she retired.
Please note that there are four folders of "ERW Writings and Presentations" at the end of this file. Other ERW correspondence
will be found in the CAFAM Chronological Files series (Box 38, folder 9 - Box 43, folder 12, in this Record Group). See also
Record Group 20, Edith R. Wyle CAFAM Home Files, a group of papers that had been filed at Wyle’s home and were donated by
her family after her death (Boxes 422 - 433). Documents and references to ERW will also be found in the CAFAM Board of Trustees
Record Group as well as in several folders in the CAFAM Administrative A-Z series labeled “People Associated with CAFAM: Wyle,
Edith R” (Box 15, folders 32 - 36 and Box 16, folder 1). See also Patrick H. Ela (PHE) Correspondence Series (Box 27, folder

2.04 CAFAM Chronological Files
1983 December - 1993 June
Scope and Contents note
These files are chronological, by month and year. They contain primarily copies of letters and memos sent to people outside
of the museum from Patrick Ela and Edith Wyle and their various administrative assistants (Brenda Hurst, Merat Kebede, Isabelle
Baertschi, Trisha Tallon-Blanchard, John Lucas, and Denise Wakeman). The “chron files” begin in December 1983 and run through
June 1993 except that 1985 and 1987 include only the months of December. It is not known why there are no chronological files
for the other months of 1985 and 1987 or for the period before December 1983 or after June 1993. Since the chronological files
are copies of letters and memos, there probably are, in most cases, other copies filed elsewhere (e.g., the PHE Correspondence
Files series or the CAFAM Administrative Files A-Z Series) by topic. However, in processing these chronological files, it
was noticed that they include copies of some correspondence that is probably not in any other file. Quite a few bunches of
correspondence were undoubtedly simply misfiled--intended to be filed with the regular correspondence files. Some of these
letters include attachments, although the majority of letters in the chronological files do not include copies of the attachments
that were included with the original letters. The chronological file also includes some letters and memos from others besides
Ela, including Sue Sirkus and Kim Ferguson, who worked in Development; Ian Barrington, Manager of The Egg and The Eye Restaurant;
Janet Marcus, Education Curator; and Laurie Beth Kalb, Curator, among others. (Some of the latter persons also have separate
departmental files in this archives.) A large part of the subject matter of this file has to do with donations from the Wyles
(acknowledgments as well as solicitations), as well as other donors, and correspondence about grants and grant proposals.
(For other donor files, see Boxes 238 - 254.) There are a few memos to staff, but mostly these letters are addressed to board
members, to donors, and to others outside of the museum. Some financial reports and/or other reports re CAFAM as a whole are
included as well as correspondence re particular exhibitions or events (e.g., Festival Primavera) or the Associates, or the
Directors Circle.

2.05 Rolodex Files
ca. 1975 – ca. 1997
Scope and Contents note
These boxes hold the cards from what were three large Rolodex rotary files used by administrative staff. They are alphabetical
by surname of individual or company title. It is not certain when the first cards were made or if these files were current
when the museum closed at the end of 1997, but it is known that most of the cards were in use from the mid-70s until the mid-90s.
They include the names of most persons that may have been contacted by CAFAM administrative staff over that period of time,
not necessarily including members as such. This is not a membership file. In other words, the Rolodex files may include some
people associated with CAFAM primarily as members but, by and large, those in the file will have also participated in some
other capacity as staff members, board members, council members, Associates members, etc. The file also includes anyone (though
not everyone) that Edith Wyle or Patrick Ela or their assistants may have communicated with during that time, including friends,
tradespeople, and other vendors.
2.06 New Museum Files
1985 - 1995
Scope and Contents note
This series is arranged alphabetically by topic. The “New Museum” files include materials relating to the planning of two
building projects, only one of which was realized. In late summer 1986, Frank Wyle, CAFAM Chairman of the Board, began talking
with the developer, Wayne Ratkovich (see also CAFAM Administrative Files A-Z-- People Associated with CAFAM: Ratkovich, Wayne),
known for his renovation of historic L.A. properties, about the potential to use the properties then owned by CAFAM at 5814
Wilshire and (around the corner) at 731 South Curson to develop a ”Museum Tower,” a high-rise (22-story) mixed-use condominium
development that would include a 55,000 square foot space for CAFAM (to be owned by CAFAM as a condominium) on the lower levels
of the high-rise. Richard Weinstein, Dean of Architecture and Urban Planning at UCLA, was named as Chief Designer. Weinstein’s
office provided preliminary drawings and a model. Key to this development was the planned acquisition of the 5800 Wilshire
property at the corner of Curson and Wilshire. The latter property included a large parking lot south of an alley behind 5800
and 5814 Wilshire. The files regarding the extensive and difficult negotiations with the owners of the 5800 Wilshire property
and its parking lot, Joseph Ventress and Lena Longo (or “El Vee”), with whom CAFAM entered into a lease-purchase agreement,
are included here. (See also PHE Correspondence Files and CAFAM Administrative Files A-Z -- Facilities, 5800 Wilshire Blvd.,
in the Administrative Files Record Group.) A widely publicized press conference on May 9, 1989 with a cake in the shape of
the tower, and with Mayor Tom Bradley, Councilman John Ferraro, and other dignitaries present, announced the planned project.
An agreement with Ratkovich was formalized on October 9, 1989. However, after a broad, international search for capitalization
for the Museum Tower, in the face of a difficult recession, Ratkovich and CAFAM agreed in May 1992 that “economic conditions
of the times have not been conducive to pursuing the intended development project and have frustrated financing efforts” (from
Ratkovich letter of May 8, 1992). In the meantime, soon after the initial agreement with Ratkovich in October 1989, a detailed
building program (based on the Ratkovich project) was developed by the CAFAM staff with the help of consultant Marcy Goodwin
and an elaborate capital campaign had been initiated. The building program and documents relating to that campaign are included
here as well. (See also Development Department Record Group, Box 228, folders 22 - 23 and Box 229, folders 2 - 4.) In 1992
the board decided to go ahead with a reduced version of the building program in a renovation project that would physically
join 5814 Wilshire to 5800 Wilshire. At this point, a search for a new architect was begun. Craig Hodgetts and Ming Fung of
Hodgetts + Fung were chosen for the new project. A revised design was created by Hodgetts + Fung, merging 5800 and 5814 Wilshire,
even though 5800 Wilshire had not yet been purchased by the museum. Van Holland Construction Company, which had assisted with
the building-out of the temporary spaces at the May Company Miracle Mile store (at 6067 Wilshire), occupied by CAFAM from
1989 – 1992, as well as the staff offices and library in the leased 5800 Wilshire building, was chosen as the contractor for
both the earthquake retrofitting needed for 5814 Wilshire and the Hodgetts + Fung renovation. The re-designed museum opened
in May 1995 in a major three-day weekend event billed as a “Homecoming.” The files concerning the gala "Homecoming" celebration
are included here. See also Homecoming files in the Public Relations Department Record Group (Box 258, folder 9 - Box 260,

2.07 Associates Files (including Events and Trips) and CAFAM Membership Trip Files
1977 - 1995
Scope and Contents note
This series is arranged alphabetically by topic and then chronologically within each topic. According to records in the Board
of Trustees Record Group, the CAFAM Associates support group (“high-end” members, many of whom were on the board) was founded
sometime in 1980 by board member Judith Stark with the support of Mark Gallon. Their principal activity was travel, usually
within the U.S. over a long weekend. These trips featured behind-the- scenes tours of museums guided by curators, visits to
important private collections, and lavish dinners. These files are not complete, e.g., although there is mention on a list
of “Associates out- of-town trips” of trips to India and Santa Fe in 1980 and a “Fiber Arts Tour” to Europe in 1981, the documentation
for these trips is missing. There is no record of the Associates’ founding in these files; the earliest Associates documents
date to an Associates trip to Vancouver taken in June 1981. Included are the daily journals of trip activities that the participants
took turns writing and that were then typed up and distributed to all attendees, as well as a large scrapbook (see Box 536)
containing color photographs of some of the trips. Although these out of town trips were the principal Associates activity,
the group also held local events, including dinners at prominent L.A. restaurants, lectures, musicales, and short day trips.
A portion of the fees charged for all of these activities went to support CAFAM. The last Associates trip was to San Francisco
in August 1995. In the early days of CAFAM, several trips were offered to the membership at large. Then, starting in 1981,
such trips were offered only to Associates and their guests. Although Associates trips often included non-Associates members,
beginning in the early nineties, a series of trips was again planned (in association with Crown Travel) that were advertised
to the CAFAM membership at large. Many of these were unrealized. Two especially successful membership trips took place, however:
one in 1993 to Costa Rica, led by Deirdre-Evans Pritchard, and one in 1995 to South Africa, led by Patrick Ela. Documentation
of some of these trips is sketchy and it is not clear in some cases whether they were sponsored by the Associates group or
were for the membership in general. It is also not always clear whether or not some of these trips were actually taken or
were cancelled. It is possible that some trips labeled “unrealized” actually took place and vice versa. See also Administrative
Files A-Z series, Box 10, folders 14 - 15, and Box 11, folder 1. See also oversized CAFAM Associates scrapbook (Box 536) of
color photographs of the following trips: 1983--Atlanta et al.; 1985--Santa Fe; 1986--Seattle; 1987--Kentucky; 1991--Nova
Scotia et al.; 1992-- Guadalajara, Mexico; and 1992--Philadelphia.

2.08 Milt Thomas Files
1976 - 1997
Scope and Contents note
These files are alphabetical by topic. They originated with Milt Thomas, who began working as an "executive volunteer" for
CAFAM when he retired from Wyle Laboratories, probably sometime in 1989. Thomas had worked at Wyle since 1960. He was a Senior
Contracts Administrator at Wyle when he retired. At CAFAM, Thomas took on many tasks related to personnel issues. In fact,
in 1991 Patrick Ela announced that Thomas was to be the official “ombudsman” for the museum. He worked with CAFAM librarian
Joan Benedetti on three different attempts to create a staff performance appraisal system (not implemented). He worked on
revising job descriptions and worked with Michelle Arens on developing an Employee Handbook that was implemented. He also
helped to do preliminary research on many projects, e.g., Associates and Membership travel, finding a site for both the staff
and board retreats, and locating temporary space for museum staff during the periods when 5814 Wilshire and then 5800 Wilshire
had to be vacated. The latter included working with staff on space planning and locating (and sometimes drawing) floor plans.
He organized staff trips to Dodger games. When the museum shut down at the end of 1997, he met with all of the staff regarding
severance benefits. He and his wife, Gloria Zimmer, went on many Associates trips both before and after he started working
with the Museum. Although he was not officially on the CAFAM Board until 1996, he attended most board meetings (1989 - 1998)
and served on board committees, such as Program Communications, Development, Capital Campaign, and Executive Finance. Many
of the file folder topics in the Thomas files can also be found in other record groups or series, but the individual items
are not necessarily duplicated.

2.09 Volunteer Service Council
1977 - 1997
Scope and Contents note
Documents in this series relate to the Volunteer Service Council, established as a legal entity in 1986, as well as activities
of previous, informal volunteer groups and coordinators beginning in 1977. Arranged alphabetically by topic. From the beginning,
most activities at the museum were dependent on loyal volunteers, who were usually attached to a particular department and
trained by the head of that department. Larger events (e.g., the annual Primavera Ball) would utilize volunteers more broadly.
Volunteers often had their own programs, which were usually open only to the volunteers and were planned by whoever was the
current Volunteer Coordinator. The coordinator position was usually paid on a part-time basis, but some coordinators were
unpaid. Volunteer Coordinators included Gail Goldberg, Suzy Ticho, Aileen Colton, Nancy Kendall, Jean Davidson, Lynn Pelletier,
and Geri Freer among others (not all names available as of this writing).

2.10 Special Events -- Home Sweet Home: American Vernacular Architecture
1977 - 1984
Scope and Contents note
Arranged roughly in alphabetical order by topic. “Home Sweet Home: American Vernacular Architecture” was a city-wide series
of exhibitions and events that was conceived by designer and CAFAM board member Gere Kavanaugh in 1977. The architect, Charles
Moore, agreed to co-produce the project and CAFAM applied for and received a $40,000 initial planning grant from the NEA for
the project in July 1980. In June 1981 Blaine Mallory was hired to be the Coordinator. She eventually oversaw the development
of 12 city-wide exhibitions related to the vernacular architecture theme, which were mounted more or less simultaneously between
October 17 - November 11, 1983. A three-day symposium was co-produced by CAFAM and UCLA November 11 -13. A book was published
by Rizzoli. CAFAM mounted an exhibition, “The Front Porch,” as part of the city-wide effort. (See CAFAM Exhibitions Record
Group for materials related to “The Front Porch.”) The development effort was enormous; Louise Tate was hired as development
consultant during 1982. Grants were received for most aspects of the project. (See proposal/scrapbook in Box 533, folder 6.)
The P.R. effort was national in scope. Blaine Mallory was involved in all aspects of the project for almost three years.

2.11 Special Events -- Today Shows and Miscellaneous
1977 - 1994
Scope and Contents note
Arranged alphabetically by topic and chronologically within each topic. CAFAM sponsored or coordinated many “special events.”
Besides “Home Sweet Home: American Vernacular Architecture,” those that were the largest in scope were part of a series sponsored
by a consortium of private and public organizations that had the intention of reaching out to other countries culturally.
These were national in scope and CAFAM was the regional coordinator for Japan Today (April-May 1979); Egypt Today (March 20
- April 20, 1981); and Scandinavia Today (February-March 1983). Each of these events required several years of planning and
preparation and included CAFAM exhibitions and programs. This series also contains files on several fashion (“Wearable Art”)
shows; a Bottle Village fundraiser; and some other miscellaneous special events.

2.12 CAFAM Special Events -- Family Festival of Mexican Arts
1991
Scope and Contents note
Arranged alphabetically by topic. The Family Festival of Mexican Arts, which was produced in Hancock County Park on October
6, 1991, was done in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) as part of a number of city-wide events
held in conjunction with the large LACMA exhibition, “Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries,” touring from Mexico. (CAFAM
put on an exhibition, “Folk Treasures of Mexico,” of objects from the Nelson Rockefeller Mexican folk art collection at the
same time.) Teri Knoll was the Family Festival coordinator for CAFAM. It was similar to the Festival of Masks, except focused
on Mexico and Mexican Americans and held on just one day, and it included performers on two stages, workshops and demonstrations,
and food booths.

2.13 Controller/Accounting
1975 - 1998
Scope and Contents note
Most of these files--in roughly chronological order--originated with Lorraine Trippett, who was the Accountant and then the
Controller from 1977 through mid-1997, when she retired; at that point Sheri Hakimpour Rhodius, who had first been the Bookkeeper
(and Trippett's assistant) and then the Accountant, was named CFO (Chief Financial Officer), and some files from late 1997
originated with her. Some additional financial and/or budgetary documents will also be found in the Development Record Group;
the files of the directors, Patrick Ela, Nancy Fister, and Paul Kusserow; and the various files of Frank Wyle, some in Development,
some in Board of Trustees, and some among the files of the "last months" (1996 – 1998) before the temporary closing of the
museum. At the time of the transfer of the archival records from CAFAM to UCLA, some financial records were left behind in
a CAFAM storage bin and were never transferred to UCLA. See also Record Group 19, Preservation of Ethnic Traditions (P.E.T.)

Arranged alphabetically by topic and then chronologically under each topic. Most of these files originated with the Director,

at the same time as Paul Kusserow. This is not the only location for documents from 1996 - 1998; they can be found throughout

This cookbook, reprinted in 1997, was going to be used as a promotion in association with the new restaurant, which was unrealized.
Although it uses the name of the Egg and The Eye Gallery in the title, it actually had nothing to do with CAFAM or The Egg

3. Development Department
Scope and Contents note
The CAFAM Development Department was in charge of all forms of fundraising for the museum. As is the case in most museums,
fundraising was an essential part of CAFAM’s ongoing existence, although a development department as such was not established
at the outset. Mark Gallon (on loan from Mort Winston’s company, Tosco) acted as development director initially. Then Judith
Teitelman was hired as Director of Development (1988 - 1989) on a four-days- a-week basis. She laid the groundwork for a full-fledged
development department, especially needed during the Capital Campaign that was launched in connection with the Museum Tower
(Ratkovich) project. Sue Sirkus (1990 - 1993) was CAFAM’s first full-time Director of Development. She was followed by Kim
Litsey (1994 - 1996), and then Nancy Fister, who managed Development concerns while she was Acting Director through the end
of 1996, and then became Director of Development when Paul Kusserow was hired as Executive Director in January 1997. Both
Edith Wyle and Patrick Ela were always heavily involved in fundraising for CAFAM. Fundraising took the form of memberships,
individual donations, grantwriting, the annual fundraising dinner-dance gala, the Capital Campaign, and some special events.
The Development Department also worked closely with the Board of Trustees and the various support groups, especially the Associates.
A large section of the Administrative Series (3.01, Box 234, folder 1 - Box 237, folder 6) concerns Publicity and Marketing,
some of which originated with the Development Department. (See also separate Public Relation Department Record Group.)
3.01 Administrative Files

Scope and Contents note
In general, these files deal with CAFAM and Development Department administrative matters rather than with specific grants
or donations. A large section of this series (Box 234, folder 1 - Box 237, folder 6) concerns Publicity and Marketing, some
of which originated with the Development Department. (See also separate Public Relation Department Record Group.) Arranged
alphabetically by topic and then chronologically within each topic. (See also Board of Trustees Record Group.) See also Series
2.14, CAFAM Administrative and Special Events Record Group -- Miscellaneous Files, for Judith Teitelman files (1988 - 1989).

3.02 Annual Fundraiser
1977 - 1994
Scope and Contents note
These files are arranged chronologically. Beginning in April 1977, an annual dinner-dance fundraiser to benefit CAFAM was
produced. Mark Gallon (on loan to work on CAFAM development from Tosco, Mort Winston’s company) was influential in initiating
it. Each year a special guest of honor (in some years more than one) was named and people and organizations associated with
that person were especially targeted to purchase both tickets to the event and space ads in the program book. The event was
held at an important hotel; tables were sold for a special dinner; a band was hired for music and dancing; and entertainment
was arranged, often with an “ethnic” theme, sometimes associated with the current CAFAM exhibition. Other auxiliary activities
were sometimes held, such as a kick-off party a few weeks before the dinner- dance, a silent auction, or a raffle. At first,
a group of women associated with CAFAM known as Las Primaveras organized the event and were utilized to assist with preparations
and advertising for the fundraiser and to hand- address invitation envelopes, including personal notes where appropriate.
This women’s group included some board members and other “high-end” donors. Later, after a development officer was hired by
CAFAM, that person was in charge, although there was usually a non-staff person who was the chief coordinator. The event was
originally called the Festival Primavera Ball and was usually produced in the spring. Over the years, Festival Primavera was
the name that was used most frequently, although from time to time a different concept was used. In 1982, a “Great Chefs Dinner”
was held in the fall in addition to the regular spring Festival Primavera. The Great Chefs theme was used again in 1985, 1986,
and 1987. In 1989 a “Primavera Black and White Ball” was announced and in 1990 the “By the Sea Ball” was held in Santa Monica.
In 1993 the “Primavera Birthday Ball” was held in honor of CAFAM’s 20th anniversary. The last such event was held in 1995
(part of the overall “Homecoming” celebration) in honor of the reopening of the renovated and expanded Craft and Folk Art
Museum. For documents regarding this latter 1995 event, see Series 2.06, New Museum -- Homecoming Weekend, in the CAFAM Administrative
and Special Events Record Group. See also Homecoming Weekend in Series 4.01 in the Public Relations Record Group. For images
of this annual fundraiser, see also Audiovisual Materials Record Group -- Slide Series (14.04) and Photograph Series (14.05).
