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.    

Join us for a special Artist in the Atrium program, with students from the Cleveland High School of the Digital Arts who have been participating in Zygote’s Pressing Matters program. The 2025 cohort of students has been learning about the history of the Karamu House Inc. artists and the relief-printing process, exploring connections to printmaking, community, social justice, and self-advocacy. Come learn more about the legacy of Karamu artists, watch a printmaking demonstration, and make your very own print to take home with you!
