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.

Step into a world of wonder and imagination with artist Shadi Ayoub. Discover how Ayoub’s unique approach to letterpress adds depth and character to illustrations, creating an immersive storytelling experience for viewers. In conversation with the Cleveland Museum of Art’s exhibition Fairy Tales and Fables: Illustration and Storytelling in Art, Ayoub brings the exhibition to life through an engaging Artist in the Atrium program. Let your imagination soar through the art of storytelling, enriched by Ayoub’s expertise in letterpress printing and his dedication to fostering creativity and community through the 961 Collective.
