Fictional Portraits with Dynamic Personalities.” Opening 6-10pm. The show is a combination of work by local artists Linda
Ayala and Andy Dreamingwolf. Both
artists amalgamate human and animal characteristics; simultaneously inviting
the viewer’s imagination to project as well as remove human traits. The
line between human and animal becomes a continuum, upon which each character
falls at different points.

“Frank Green Memorial at the
Beachland.” 3pm. Performance
artist, art
critic and AIDS activist Frank Green swashbuckled his way through the Cleveland
art scene in the ’90s. The Parma Heights native decamped for New York City
where he spent the ’80s embroiled in the city’s art scene. Returning
to Cleveland, he developed numerous performance pieces, many of which
dealt with his HIV positive diagnosis. He resisted treatment, becoming a voice
in the movement to discredit accepted ideas about HIV and AIDS, until he
finally became sick in the late ’90s. Even while his health declined and he
went into assisted living, he was a familiar figure at art openings and
Beachland concerts. Last month, the Tremont Art Walk
featured a display of his work at the offices of Tremont West Inc. This
afternoon friends, acquaintances and admirers pay tribute at a memorial event
at the Beachland Ballroom. It’s free and all are welcome, whether they knew
Frank or not, to learn about the impact he and his work had. 15711 Waterloo Road, Cleveland, OH 44110 http://beachlandballroom.com

On Saturday March 23rd from 12pm - 5pm. Allen Kradlak
of AKStudios is hosting an empty bowls throw-a-thon to benefit the local food
pantries. This will be a fun session of creating thrown and altered stoneware
bowls which will be glazed and fired by volunteers at AKstudios. The studio has
8 Wheels and plenty of room to facilitate all of the activities. All Materials
are to be provided along with snacks and beverages. Anyone who is interested in
participating should contact Allen to sign up. Once the bowls are finished they
will be donated to the empty bowls event, hosted by the Berea Kiwanis at Berea
High school. Of course, if you are unable to attend, donations of finished
bowls would also be welcome and can be dropped off at the studio. The proceeds
from this event help fund programs and provide resources to Church Street
Ministries, Berea Welfare and SCAN. Anyone willing to help is welcome to
attend.
