Braids Exhibit with The Braid Society
From June 17 – July 20 only, the Ellipse at the Cleveland Botanical Garden will host a captivating international group exhibition presented by members of the Braid Society and American Kumihimo Society. This unique art exhibit, curated in conjunction with the Society’s upcoming conference Rockin’ Braids and Bands at Case Western Reserve University, will showcase a diverse array of braiding and narrow band weaving techniques from around the world. Visitors can explore intricate examples of Japanese Kumihimo, Peruvian braiding, ply-split braiding, inkle weaving, cord making, loop braiding, lucet work, tablet weaving, and sprang. The exhibition highlights the rich cultural history and artistic innovation within the world of braiding, offering an inspiring experience for both fiber art enthusiasts and curious newcomers.
Sara Nguyen: Lunar Garden in the Eppig Gallery (5/23-7/6)
Sarah Nguyen is a mixed media artist, working primarily with hand cut-fiber panels and paintings to tell a story. This series explores the imagery that is found in mythology about the full moon occurring in the United States reaching out to Indigenous names for the moons (such as the June Strawberry Moon to September’s Harvest moon, as well as bringing in imagery from Europe). Nature is a universal language, one that all cultures understand, in that way its symbols can be used to bring you to a common ground.
Jessica Wascak: Stereoscopes: Spirit/Land in the Orientation Theatre (5/23-8/24)
Stereoscopy combines two images, from slightly different perspectives, forcing our visual system to create the illusion of depth. Shift your perspective just a little bit and you can see something in an entirely new way. Wascak was a tenured professor in Digital Art at Ashland University from 2005 – 2015. Her work is currently included in many public and private collections throughout the region.
Tatiana Roberts: Star Gazing Collection in the Guren Gallery (5/23-8/24)
Tatiana “Tati” Roberts is a Cleveland-based artist known for her watercolor pet portraits, colorful acrylic paintings and innovative faux-cyanotype botanicals. Roberts found inspiration in the shifting clouds, the glow of sunsets, and the energy of approaching storms. With acrylic paints, she captures the fleeting emotions that the sky so effortlessly reflects and explores the delicate interplay between nature and art through faux-cyanotypes of botanical elements.
Grace Frank: Explorations in the Cafe (5/23-8/24)
Explorations is a celebration of color, emotion, and the quiet beauty woven into everyday life. Whether painting on glass, canvas, or capturing the colors of feelings and sound, Grace Frank explores the ways art can make us feel more alive. Frank’s goal is to create art that invites reflection, joy, and a deeper appreciation for the world around us. Frank is a Cleveland-based artist working across multiple mediums, including reverse glass painting, canvas, paper sculpture, and abstract interpretations of emotion and sound.
Arron Foster: In-Visible in the Eppig Gallery (7/12-8/24)
Through the structured act of close looking and the experience of capturing a piece of the landscape in perpetuity through printmaking, photography, and installation, Arron Foster engages with the unique qualities of the Ohio landscape while creating images that illustrate the overarching phenomena of ecological balance that characterizes nature. Foster has received competitive grants from the Ohio Arts Council, Kent State University, the University of Georgia, and the Southern Graphics Council International. Foster is an Assistant Professor of Art at Kent State University at Stark in North Canton, Ohio.
Meet the Artists Gallery Opening: Friday, May 23 from 6:30 – 9:30 p.m.
