World-renowned Cleveland artist, Reverend Albert Lee Wagner passed away on September 1 of 2006 leaving his family, his ministry and his art behind.  For Cleveland’s “Black Moses,” God and art were his salvation.  The Salvation of the Reverend Albert Wagner is now coming forward; THE EXHIBITION showcases his art and shares his story.  It is all very continuous, powerful and left up to interpretation. 
Please join Convivium33 Gallery and his ministry, The People Love People House of God, as Convivium’s gallery doors open to a collection of works that speak to you and take you on a journey of redemption and salvation.  Albert believed that his art was an extension of his ministry and his personal beliefs.  As it grows in prominence, the Reverend’s work has become a powerful extension of his voice, allowing his message and mission to live on.

Preview the exhibition at special mass on Wednesday, March 12 at 7 pm at Convivum33 Gallery. Join the artist’s family and friends, for a unique evening, as his daughter and minister of his parish, Sister Bonita celebrates Albert’s art and serves his parish.   There is no charge for the evening but seating is limited.  Please call Convivum33 Gallery for reservations or visit http://www.josaphatartshall.com/gallery/schedule.php

Salomon, along with colleague Professor Bill Brouillard who has taught at CIA for 27 years, have created an exceptional environment for students to study, learn and embark upon a career in the arts. Department Director Salomon’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide and she is represented in the collections of The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH; Los Angeles Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; The Victoria and Albert Museum, London, England; the Manchester City Art Galleries, Manchester, England; and the National Museum of History of Taiwan.

The program of the Institute’s Ceramics Department embraces both tradition and innovation, exposing students to the rich history of the ancient medium of clay while exploring its potential for expression of contemporary ideas. The exhibit illustrates this and showcases artists who are actively producing ceramicists. Featured alumnae’s work will include Eddie Dominguez, Linda Arbuckle, Lisa Clague, Neil Patterson, Kristen Cliffel, George Bowes, Deirdre Daw, Kevin Snipes, Julie Tesser, Susan Collett, and faculty members Judith Salomon, Bill Broulliard, Kirk Mangus, Eva Kwong, Susan Sipos, and Mary Jo Bole.
