Welcome to Euclid Art Association

This is where your art journey begins

    Message from our President: 
    Rozenia Cunningham

    Fall is here! Come “fall into” our next meeting 

    and bring a friend! We are excited to welcome Artist and Art Educator Tammy Sparks as our Guest Demonstrator. While our September members meeting had a lower turnout than usual, those who attended shared excellent suggestions for the future of the Euclid Art Association (EAA). I had the pleasure of leading a vision board session focused on the future of EAA. The project and the results were incredibly creative. The Euclid Art Walk on Saturday, September 19th inside the Shore Cultural Centre, was a wonderful success! Many visitors stopped by to admire our members' artwork and learn about joining EAA. A huge THANK YOU to our incredible volunteers who made it possible: Kierra Blackwell, Ellen Howard, Akhia Knighton, Sarah Komaromy, James Komaromy, and my son, Jaden Barnes. Also, special thanks to member Joe Bruzas for printing and donating our EAA banner. You can view photos of both the Vision Board Projects and the Art Walk on our Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as the EAA website. This is a brand-new season for us, and positive changes are happening fast along with the big move from our North Street gallery!!!

    October Meeting

    Our up-coming in-person meeting is Monday, October 5th at 7:00 pm
    in the Fellowship Hall, East Shore United Methodist Church, 23002 Lakeshore Blvd, Euclid. Remember to BYOT (Bring Your Own Treats) to share with 6 to 8 people after the meeting, plated and ready to serve! All are welcome to attend. Guest fee is a $3.00 donation. This should be very fascinating, so come and enjoy and bring a guest!  

    October Guest Demonstrator

    Our guest demonstrator is Tammy Sparks, a visual arts teacher at St. Joseph Academy in Cleveland. She will present BOTTLE CAP ART. According to Tammy, “This project explores the beauty of nature through discarded single-use plastics. Using bottle caps and plastic bottles that might otherwise end up in landfills, the works transform everyday waste into representations of the natural world. Butterflies appear suspended in mid-flight, while jellyfish shimmer and sway as though moving through the water. The project challenges viewers to reconsider ordinary objects and discover their potential for beauty, creativity, and unexpected transformation.”

    Artist Statement:

    I like to draw and find inspiration in whatever I see. Capturing the real form appeals to
    me, especially in figure drawing and drapery. Plant forms and patterns of light and
    shadow catch my eye as well. I am always composing and framing photos with colors
    and shapes visible in everyday life. During my 44 years of teaching high school art at
    Cleveland Central Catholic, I became familiar with a wide range of techniques and
    approaches to subject matter. Ideas come first, and then I can choose any medium to
    bring them to life. For many decades, drawing and watercolor were vehicles for
    expression, then iPad drawing later. My work is eclectic in subject and medium.

    After earning my BA in art from Notre Dame College in 1970 I enjoyed additional
    instruction at the Cleveland Institute of Art with Francis J. Meyers and Peter Paul
    Dubaniewicz. Coming from a family of seamstresses, I have lifelong experience at
    sewing and have also used this skillset to create textile art. My life size soft sculpture,
    Good Knight’s Rest, won the People’s Choice Award at the AAWR NewNow 2022 and
    Best of Show in the Euclid Art show in Beachwood in 2025.
