Local artists will have sketchbooks in one hand and beer/wine/whiskey in the other. 'We will draw and drink. Interact with other bar patrons and show them just how much talented Cleveland has. We will have a group of some of your favorite Dr. Sketchy Cleveland models to pose for you when you get tired of drawing drunks at the bar. There will be prizes to win and we will drink to our glorious achievements.'

They ask that you bring your own sketchbook and media of choice: 'Keep your setup small and easy to carry. We will be on the move. Bring cash! You don’t want to get left behind while you pay your tab with a credit card. It will be epic. The more that attend, the better the party.'

Kokoon Arts Club featured at Cleveland Public Library

Founded in 1911, the Kokoon Arts Club was a cadre of Cleveland artists emulating the then-controversial European movements of Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. Though defunct for over 60 years, its romance — along with the ideal of rebirth and renewal — has provided continuous inspiration to area artists. Now a joint exhibition of Kokooners' works, hosted by the Cleveland Public Library and Cleveland Artists Foundation, celebrates this Modern Renaissance. The show not only exhibits some of the most striking pieces by prominent figures like William Sommer and Joseph Jicha, but also provides  historic context. A guided walking tour through the exhibit takes place this Saturday, October 15th, at 11AM. Exhibit continues through December 31st.

WALL EYE GALLERY PRESENTS 
FINAL EXHIBITION: Playing House

OPENING RECEPTION
FRIDAY, 9.23, 2011, 6—11PM

ADDITIONAL HOURS
SATURDAY, 9.24, 12—5PM
SUNDAY, 9.25, 12—4PM
AND BY APPOINTMENT THROUGH 10.14

We all played it in some form or another when we were kids. Conventional, make-believe, real, surreal. In the exhibition Playing House, four artists, Stephanie Rond, Stephanie Lipscomb, Sharon Dorsey, and Linda Ayala recall what it meant to “play house”.

“It is with mixed emotions to announce that Wall Eye Gallery will be closing in October of this year. After much deliberation we have decided to end our two year run. The seven partners have either had a life change, new job, new opportunities involving more responsibilities, or the desire to focus on artistic careers. It has been difficult to balance these changes while continuing to organize Wall Eye’s shows.

Although 
Wall Eye Gallery will no longer be a brick and mortar space, we will have an online presence to share news of other shows in Cleveland, competitions, news about the art world and interviews with artists. But maybe you’ll see us pop-up from time to time.”

Watercolor classes to start at Strongsville Pat Catans

Jeff Suntala will be starting watercolor classes at the Pat Catans in Strongsville on Monday nights. Call the store at 440.238.7318 for more details. Starting the second Monday of September, the 12th, classes 'are reasonably priced and you aren't locked in for a long number of weeks. Nothing beats on site demos for helping your brain absorb the process of watercoloring.'—Jeff
