Artists Archives
of the Western Reserve

The Artists Archives of the Western Reserve (AAWR) sustains Ohio’s artistic heritage by preserving and exhibiting the artwork of prominent Ohio visual artists who are known as Archived Artists. The AAWR advances their artistic legacies by presenting exhibitions and educational programs, creating publications, recording oral histories and collecting other biographical materials which are made available to scholars and the public.

Through its general membership, AAWR also serves a wide range of regional artists by providing exhibition opportunities and promoting Northeast Ohio as a thriving arts community.

Become a member or donate today. We count on you to keep art alive in Ohio.

Textures & Patterns is an opportunity for our Archived Artists, members, and community artists to showcase, promote, and sell their work to the public in our premier gallery space. Artists were each invited to showcase two original artworks. This show was juried by Robert Thurmer, the Gallery Director for the Gallery at Cleveland State University.
