George Roby
A juxtaposition of degrees informs the work of the artists curated for this exciting show. For George Roby it is problem, and its natural solution. The way in which a piece of new sculpture can inform, or as the artist says, “solve” a question being asked in an earlier work. Roby is a respected Ohio potter, sculptor, and teacher. He was a student at Cranbrook and worked with Claude Conover. His works can be found in the collections of the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Butler Institute of American Art, the Columbus Museum of Art, and numerous private collections.
GR Hamilton
For the last five years GR Hamilton has been consumed with the art-making materials, and the material’s history. In his artist statement he elaborates on his latest process, “I began to put to use objects which I’d found and collected through the years: unusual flora, scraps of metal, bits of plastic, paint and paper, small figures, memorabilia, magazine clippings, autographs and a variety of secondhand finds and curbside cast-offs. This impulse was propelled by my interest in the work of Joseph Cornell, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and the films of the Quay brothers. “
Join us Wednesday February 10 from 6pm – 10pm at Arts Collinwood for the Art for Haiti Benefit, including a live art auction from top local and national artists, food, cocktails and live jazz music. Proceeds will go directly to the Haiti Emergency Village Project. Arts Collinwood is honored to be hosting this event.

Maybelle, 2009
Terry Durst’s exhibit opens at Arts Collinwood Gallery Friday January 8, reception from 6:00-9:00p.m.. The show runs until Saturday February 8 with a closing reception featuring a performance by Mystery of Two at 8:00 p.m.
Terry Durst is a sculptor and installation artist who has been making and exhibiting art in Cleveland and surrounding areas since graduating from Kent State University in 1987.
Recently he taught art for five years at The Cuyahoga Community College Eastern Campus, and for two years at the Cleveland Institute of Art.
The title of this show, The Carter Excavations, refers to several things – mostly, the artist’s exploration of sculpture as an excavation of emotional states. The name Carter was chosen as it is a common American name, suggesting that these finds could be from a viewer’s own personal excavations.
Secondly, the songs of the original three members of the band The Carter Family, Maybelle, Alvin and Sara, were inspirations for these pieces – the influence of these early recordings resulting in wall sculpture made mostly from old wood and found material.
Also, the name Carter suggests the major excavation of Howard Carter, English archaeologist and Egyptologist, who discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun on November 4, 1922.
The Arts Collinwood Gallery is open for viewing during all of the hours of the adjoining Café: Tuesday-Saturday 11 am – 11 pm and Sunday 9 am – 5 pm.
