Cleveland Museum of Art

This summer we’ll be working with a small group of university faculty from schools including Case Western Reserve University, Cuyahoga Community College, and Kent State University as part of a pilot program called University Fellows. They’ll spend the week in the galleries exploring how teaching with art can show up in their work, and how art fits into the way they teach. We are excited to welcome these individuals to the museum this summer. Stay tuned for more updates about this program! 

Today, we celebrate 110 years of commitment to creating transformative experiences through art “for the benefit of all the people forever.” A special thank-you to our CMA community who makes it all possible. Here’s to another great year. Happy Birthday, CMA! 🎂

Carrie Wise and Jean-Marie Papoi dive deep in an interview with Heather Lemonedes Brown, Paul J. and Edith Ingalls Vignos Jr. Curator of Modern European Art, discussing the evolving influences and lasting impressions of this exhibition.
