Sat 11/20 @ 5-8PM
The Morgan Art of Paper Conservatory’s current show, Leaves and Leaving, was created by members of Art Books Cleveland, before, during and after the COVID lockdown. It includes artist books, collages and other paper-based works to express ideas about both literal leaves and leaving things behind.
During the run of the show, the Morgan has invitedvisitors to participate. The Leave a Message Community Project asked people to come, take a leaf, write a message — a poem, quote, wish, hope or a message to someone in particular — and put it in the basket.
Those messages are being collected and hung during the show. Then on Saturday November 20 @ 5-8pm, there’s a reception where the messages will be read aloud and the leaves burned in order to release them into the universe.
The Morgan is open Tuesday-Saturday @ 10am-4pm. It’s free to visit.
