Euclid Art Association

Welcome to the Euclid Art Association...

Euclid Art Association’s next monthly meeting is Monday, November 6, 2017. The meeting starts at 7:00pm at the East Shore United Methodist Church, 23002 Lakeshore Blvd, Euclid in the Fellowship Hall. Guests are always welcome for a $3.00 donation. At this meeting we feature award winning international artist, Augusto Bordelois, demonstrating Charcoal Portraits. Check out his website: www.augustofineart.com. Also, here is a link to a very interesting article that appeared in the Plain Dealer in 2012, about this Cuban master.

We thank artist, Christine Weigand, for demonstrating Painting with Cut Paper at our October meeting. Her unique artwork was featured on PBS IdeaStream’s Applause. It’s well worth viewing, as it shows her various cut paper ‘paintings’, from landscapes to architecture to animals, and more. You will be amazed at what she creates with cut paper. We all were! Christine chose to demonstrate how to create a rose. You can read more about the meeting on the Demonstrations Page.

Fall Harvest was the theme for the evenings refreshments, served to us thanks to Sandi Richards and Ellen Howard.

Our 2017-2018 workshop season started off with a Floral Watercolor workshop with award winning local artist, Cathy Welner. WOW! What a great workshop.....we learned so much. Thank you, Cathy! We also thank her friend, Bill, for helping bring all her prints, pictures and supplies up to the second floor Gallery. There were 12 participants in the class from all over Ohio, and even Michigan. Cathy gave us lots of good tips. She also donated her completed watercolor to the club for our next Spring Fine Art Show raffle. To learn more and see some great pictures, click here.
