The third-annual show (which opens tonight) features paintings, photography, and sculptures by 19 local up-and-comers including Joe Ayala, Thomas Felegy, and Kortney Niewierski. Depew says each year unveils a whole new group of artists. Many of them were handpicked by Depew from area art schools. All the work is fresh and new, he says. This years stable produced a thought-provoking exhibition.
As soon as last years display closed, Depew began seeking out artwork for this years outing. Over the past 12 months, hes gathered paintings by Amy Casey, Lou Muenzs photos, and sculptures by Rebecca Ozbolt. Im trying to create a well-rounded show, he says. I want people to leave this exhibition excited about the Cleveland art scene. These artists are the cornerstones of this citys creative potential.
Saturdays, Sundays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: July 14. Continues through Aug. 4
