About The Event

Every third Saturday of each month, stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

For this session, Adrian Eisenhower immerses visitors in his world of vibrant brushstrokes and dynamic compositions, inviting them to learn about en plein air painting. Throughout the event, visitors have the chance to engage with Eisenhower as he discusses his artistic influences, his techniques, and the connections between his work and the timeless beauty of Claude Monet’s oeuvre.

Join us and watch an artist at work, or try your hand at your own still-life drawing at this iteration of our Artist in the Atrium series, inspired by the Cleveland Museum of Art’s permanent collection of Impressionist paintings.
