We were voted Best New Gallery!!!! Thank you, Scene!

"Launched in the space formerly occupied by the Miller Weitzel Gallery, Wall Eye has quickly established itself on the scene with a busy schedule of shows featuring terrific contributors, among them painter Ken Nevadomi and woodcut printmaker Claudio Orso-Giacone. Its founders — five artists and two aficionados — have kept the emphasis off themselves, reaching out instead to the people whose work they admire. They've also presented lectures, like one recent talk by a local curator on the works of 16 local artists on the rise. It's how a gallery can be more than just stuff to look at; it can be a conversation starter unto itself."

We're not making this up! Really! Read it here too!

Art opening in Akron Sept. 12th

Cleveland Art Riot is proud to announce their latest and wrap-up show for 2009, "Cleveland Art Riot presents: Cleveland Art Riot" at Revival and Square Records in Akron.Opening night and reception will be Saturday, September 12, 2009.After a successfully artistic year the Cleveland Art Riot is taking their creative minds to Akron, OH.

Based in the Cleveland metropolitan area, Cleveland Art Riot is proud to express their art on the loving walls of Revival and Square Records, located on Market Street in the Highland Square neighborhood. This time around the duo will be creating work that inspires them as a team. Kerry explains her inspiration, "My work will be all about color, the brighter the better! I want the pieces to be beaming off the walls with a tremendously colorful energy and distinction. My painting is greatly inspired by the 60’s love of plastic décor and the loud, mod color palette." Hannah begins her inspiration with a word, "Journey." she continues, "I'm creating art for this show as an expression of the journey. The journey inspires us, drives us and takes us. I love the journey and I want it celebrated in my imagery."

Kerry Lange and Hannah Verbeuren started Cleveland Art Riot as a mean to create a different approach in independent art shows. As a team they intend to keep their work and subject matter fresh and contemporary. Friends both creatively and personally for many years, Cleveland Art Riot has become Kerry and Hannah’s artistic excursion. “We want to keep ourselves and our audience interested or inspired” says Hannah, “by choosing a focus for each show then creating art around that theme, we initiate a challenge for ourselves and the artists we chose to work with. For us, this formula is more stimulating than simply compiling a regurgitation of our past work.”
