Cleveland Print Room

One of the perks of Cleveland Print Room membership is automatic inclusion in our annual year-end Off The Wall Members Showcase exhibit during the ArtCraft Building annual holiday sale. This salon-style show is always a vibrant explosion of new work by area artists priced to sell during the holidays. Works of all manner of photographic media and subject matter will be on display for purchase. This year’s opening reception will take place Friday, November 30, from 5:00 to 9:00pm, and our gallery will be open all that weekend during the holiday sale on Saturday and Sunday, December 1 and 2.

Our sixth anniversary year begins with the opening on Friday, January 11, of Gimme Shelter, an invitational show exploring the themes of house and home. Director Shari Wilkins says, “A house is much more than four walls and a roof. As the house is a potent symbol in contemporary society, the Print Room asked select artists to reflect and convey the full range of the human experience that the home represents by creating a piece for this exhibition.” There will be a wide range of mediums and artists involved, interpreting these ideas in new and unexpected ways.

February 22 will see the return to our gallery of the dynamic Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-based photojournalist Ruddy Roye. Roye, who captivated our youth classes this past spring, will be bringing a selection of his provocative photography for this show, and speaking about it during a gallery talk on Saturday, February 23. Do not miss it!
