Cultural Hegemony or The New Pangea
Featuring work by Paul Woznicki
Forum Artspace
Closing, January 20, 5-10p
Paul's work explores the tools and methodologies required for this development, specifically the shipping container. Its presence and impact are integral to our quality of life, technologies, global views, the world as we know it. It is curious that such an object exists so prevalently, yet it often lives out of sight and out of mind. Closing reception January 20, 5-10p, other viewings welcomed by appointment. Facebook event

Debra Sue Solecki and Mark Moskovitz

Cleveland West Art League is open every Third Friday of the month from 6-10p and by appointment. Please email cwartleague@gmail.com or hidebrasue@yahoo.com to schedule a visit! Coming up in February: "Cold Feet" all-member show at Loop in Tremont. Click here for more CWAL news.
