Cleveland Artists Foundation
Cleveland's Center for Regional Art
"Accompanied by catalogs with fresh observations by scholars and researchers, the foundation's exhibitions are building awareness of the region's greatest achievements in the visual arts in the 20th century. That's an essential service-and at the moment, no other institution in the city is doing it as consistently, or as well." --Steven Litt, Plain Dealer Art Critic

Current and Upcoming Events

Take Nine & Audra Skuodas
Saturday, April 20, 2:00-4:00 at the CAF Gallery

Take Nine is a group of nine Cleveland area poets who read, eat and write together.  Members of the group will be coming together in the gallery to read poems they have written inspired by the paintings of Audra Skuodas. Skudoas will also speak about her work and reflect upon their contributions. Among the group are two former Cleveland Heights Poet Laureates, winners of Individual Artist Fellowships from the Ohio Arts Council and the Community Partnership for Arts and Culture, editors of literary journals and anthologies, poetry workshop instructors, arts managers, winners of awards from Northern Ohio Live, the Ohio Educational Broadcasting Corporation and the Cleveland Press Club among others. 

Together their work has been published in more than 100 local and national journals, anthologies, e-journals and soon on a music and poetry CD.  But above all, they are nine friends who laugh together on a regular basis, and challenge and support each other in their shared love of the written and spoken word.
