Maria Neil Art Project, 15813 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland.  “Aftermath” of Memory-Work By Hilary Gent.”  Opening 5pm. Aftermath is Gent’s latest body of work. The series is based on the destruction of a 2011 fire that burned a 20,000 square foot industrial building just feet from her studio and gallery at 78^th Street Studio.  The progression of the work examines the abstraction of memory through time. This progression towards abstraction gives the overall series a psychological aspect that makes the work even more interesting than the beautiful imagery itself. Additional gallery hours are Saturdays and Sundays Noon-5pm and by appointment.

Heights Art Gallery, 2175 Lee Road  Cleveland Hts., 216.371.3457 www.heightsarts.org  “Alternate Routes to an Outer Space.”  Opening 6-9pm.  Curated by Andrea Joki, this exhibition features the diverse works of four regional artists: Christi Birchfield, Terry Clark, April Friges, and Benjamin Hauser. Representing photography, printmaking and painting, the selections reveal the artists' shared intrigue in exploring chance using both inventive and traditional processes. The works also reflect meditative engagements with inner-worlds and, with references to natural phenomena, provide us with paths to an outer space.  Opening Reception - Friday, March 7th 6:00 - 9:00 pm.  Artist talks and poetry readings: Thursday March 20, 7:00 pm.  Show runs through April 19th, 2014
