James Bumgardner (1935 - 2015) was an expressionist/figurative painter, multi-media artist, and stage set designer who was a Virginia Commonwealth University professor of art in the VCU School of the Arts. As an undergraduate student at Richmond Professional Institute (RPI), Bumgardner was encouraged by his mentor Jewett Campbell to study with the notable Art Students League of New York instructor Hans Hoffman (1880 – 1966), and Bumgardner received the last scholarship given by Hoffman, a German-born American abstract expressionist painter.[2] Using his scholarship, Bumgardner studied with Hoffman in Provincetown in 1957, during which time he became friends with gallery director Richard Bellamy and artist Jan Müller.[3][4] In 1963 in Richmond Jim Bumgardner and Jon Bowie co-directed a series of multi-media events or "happenings". The first was called "Synthesis" and was influenced by the productions of Allan Kaprow and the ONCE Festival of New Music of Ann Arbor, Michigan. After "Synthesis" Bumgardner and Jon Bowie invited notable outside performance and visual artists who joined in a series of annual "Bang, Bang, Bang Arts Festival" happenings in Richmond. Education and teaching career Exhibitions In 1960 He was an invited exhibiting artist in the Sarasota Art Association's South Coast Exhibition at the Ringling Museum of Art, under Ryder System patronage. In 1962 Jim Bumgardner and his wife Judy Bumgardner served as visiting artists at the Davidson College Fine Arts Festival. In 1976 he served with artist John Curran, then Director of Packaging Design for Reynolds Metals Company, as co-juror for the annual Undiscovered Artists exhibition at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) of Richmond, Virginia. In 1980 Bumgardner was selected by director Tom Markus as the set designer for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts' theatre production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. He received a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for the Godot set design project. In 1981, after receiving a purchase award from the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, his painting became part of a SECCA traveling exhibition shown at Mars Hill College, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation.
