about this Matt Cavotta show:
Some
of us were talking the other day about whether the weather in Cleveland
is one reason that the region is so arty. We're thinking that
when it's grey and cold outside, we crave color as much as
carbohydrates. How many artists imagine other worlds when forced
inside by the weather to fill their color cravings?
What's
cool about the Cavotta show is what's cool about our neighborhoods in
the winter: You walk down the street with your dog, and you just
don't imagine that inside this house or that house there could be
someone practicing the violin or someone up in their attic creating
fantastical creatures for Magic cards. Behind the grey winter
veneer are other worlds. Do come to the Gallery to see this
one. It will make you smile, and wonder, and imagine.
For a preview, listen to John Panza's interview with Matt
(who is also a member of Northern Ohio Illustrators Society).

The Window Shop
|
It was so sad to close The Holiday Store that we've kept some work in the Gallery in The Window Shop,
where we're presenting ceramics, glass, jewelry, textiles, and
cards. So if you're looking for art by not only a good artist but
a local one, look here.
