Trio of strong solo shows at AAWR Gallery demolishes standard notions of ‘Cleveland art’

CLEVELAND, Ohio — It could be time to give up the notion that there’s a specific identity to art produced in Cleveland or Northeast Ohio. A trio of strong solo exhibitions on view through June 29 at the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve (AAWR) makes the point clear.

The AAWR exhibitions focus on works by Baila Litton, Jean Kondo Weigl, and the late Arabella Proffer, three artists active in Northeast Ohio over the past two decades.
