Tue 6/20 @ 6:30-9PM
Since the early 1960s, the Cleveland Arts Prize has been making monetary awards to people and organizations in all areas of the arts and at all stages of their careers since the early 60s.
They’re in the middle of hosting a series of six monthly events called “Art Collection Tours of CLE: A Tuesday Night Series,” both a benefit for CAP and a chance to see some of the art collections owned by local institutions and organizations which can only have a tiny fraction of their collected work on view at any given time.
Each tour is by the collection’s curator, who’ll talk about its history, its holdings and more. And each tour will feature a work by an area artist who has won the Cleveland Arts Prize, who will join the group to talk about their work. Each will also include a post-tour reception with wine and light refreshments.
The June tour takes place at the Union Club, founded in 1872 as a downtown gathering place for wealthy, powerful and influential white male citizens. (It began to admit women, Jews and Black members in the latter part of the 20th century.) The tour of its collection will be led art historian Dr. Marianne Berardi. The highlighted CAP winner is Laurence Channing and there’ll be a special preview of new acquisitions by Tom Roese.
