“A LITTLE R & R” featuring the work of George Roby and GR Hamilton
This exhibit is FREE and open to the public. Opening Reception:: Friday February 12, 2010 / 6-9pm. Closing Reception:: Saturday March 13, 2010 / 6-9pm
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. ”

Gary and Laura Dumm
Gary and Laura Dumm have depicted all these beings and more in pen & ink and paint in their two-person art show at Arts Collinwood Gallery, 15605 Waterloo Road (216) 692-9500. The show’s opening reception, with treats and spirits, is October 9th from 6:00 pm till 9 pm. Gallery Hours: Thur-Fri 6-9, Sat-Sun 1-4pm. This exhibit offers the viewer a broad spectrum of techniques and sensibilities: from Laura’s lighter, funkified color approach in painting the feline to Gary’s ink drawings of blues people, cartoons and dark re-animated horrors. It can also be viewed during open hours for the adjoining Waterloo Cafe, then closes rather appropriately on Halloween.
Bring your imagination, a love of color (and black & white) and maybe a few “treats”, some of these beasties look hungry!

On Monday, September 30, 1968, AIGA Cleveland inaugurated the Fall Lecture Series with our first speaker: Dr. James Eckman. Educator, author, and historian, Eckman presented his speech “the Heritage of the Printer.” That presentation brought to fruition what eleven founders had established as a major priority-to bring interesting communication arts practitioners to Cleveland, and find innovative ways to fund new educational programs.
Today, our chapter is thriving with over 300 members. The diversity of topics covered at our meetings attest to the vitality of our organization
