Artists in Print!

Andy Curlowe is in the recent edition of New American Paintings! You may remember Andy from Wall Eye Gallery shows such as "Festivus 2009" and the recent "Dark Matters, Light Sources".

Congrats, Andy!

If you haven't checked out an issue of New American Paintings, it's great! So while I was looking through the rest of issue 89, I was delightfully surprised to see a few other Ohio artists featured! Natalie Capannelli of Hudson; Michelle Muldrow of Cleveland Heights; Lorri Ott of Cleveland; Danielle Rante of Dayton; and Ed Valentine of Delaware. Congratulations and Yay, Ohio!

Best of Cleveland!

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!
