Registration forms are due by March 19th at Arts Collinwood will host the final exhibit at the Gallery on March 30th.
Art Gallery Opening, February 10, 2012 at 6 pm, works on display through March 3rd, 2012.
The Arts Collinwood Gallery will feature the work of local artist, George Kocar. In the words of artist, Douglas Max Utter in the LakewoodBuzz:
“Kocar’s long-standing reputation as one of our area’s most out-there
and over-the-top painters is based on a legacy of instantly recognizable imagery.
For a quarter of a century, his wide-eyed, banana-nosed and round-toothed
characters have played out a unique satire ofcontemporary life in America.
His work has been exhibited at the Cleveland museum of Art, and in galleries
in Paris and New York. He is the subject of numerous articles and receipient of many prizes and awards. By any standard, Kocar is one of Cleveland’s true originals.”
Arts Collinwood Gallery is pleased to have been chosen to host the GuitarMania® 2012 designs that have been submitted by nearly 200 artists. The designs will be viewed by sponsors at a private gala opening. After that, the designs will be on view for the public from Friday, January 13 through Friday, February 3rd on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am-11pm and by appointment. Come and check ‘em out!
