Cleveland Institute of Art

Through our Creativity Works program, and in partnership with the Chagrin History Center, Amelia Vinson's 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙫𝙚: 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙒𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙜𝙧𝙞𝙣 𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙃𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 is now on view!👏👏👏

Responding to an extensive collection of mourning garments, dolls, and photos from the History Center, Vinson highlights the everyday moments in the lives of women from Chagrin Falls. The paintings and drawings focus on women from the late 19th to mid 20th century in moments of rest and quiet reflection, giving these women a moment to be commemorated.

🗞️ Amelia’s work and story were recently featured in an article by the Geauga County Maple Leaf — read it now at https://ow.ly/Busu50ZaE45
