A tight-knit group has emerged over the years that support each other in their various artistic endeavors. 

Tricia and the Murray Hill Drawing Group are hosting an Anniversary Show during the Art Walk this year, and cordially invite you to attend. Tricia and the members of the Drawing Group will be displaying their works of art for viewing and purchase, and have organized a spectacular display and exhibit that will commemorate their 20 years together.

Scene interview with Dexter Davis

Cleveland-based artist Dexter Davis has it both ways at the Cleveland Museum of Art – not only does he hold down a day job working security, but he's one of the artists featured in the collection. A longtime staple of the Cleveland art scene, Davis creates mind-warped collages that are immediately striking: images sprung from his childhood amid the violence of Cleveland's Hough neighborhood, various mediums and textures, nods to styles ranging from Cubism to Abstract Impressionism – he tosses it all into the blender. His current show runs through Oct. 13 at the William Busta Gallery. Cleveland Scene caught up with Davis at a coffee shop near the museum.
