In addition to the 60+ sellers at the Last Minute Market, dozens of artists whose studios are in the building (and their invited artist guests) will open their doors to give you a peek at their space and a chance to purchase their work. We hope you can join us for this shopping procrastination extravaganza!

These classes will be offered through the CIA
Continuing Education Program in the Winter of 2012.

Two modern day masters, new works in oil. Jeff Yost constructs landscapes in which he plays with a small gap between the act of observational painting and the inner symbols and dialogue that he believes everyone shares. www.jeffyostpaintings.com Martin O’Connor is working on a series of Cleveland landscapes that find beauty within the decay of an aging city. www.martineoconnor.blogspot.com Opening Reception September 9th from 7-9 pm In the Sullivan Family Gallery
