Many art museums and galleries reopened with social distance protocols, but there are also still virtual shows for those who want to admire art from the comfort of their own home. From an online mental health awareness art show to an in-person project on virtual "altered reality," here are five ways to celebrate art this week in Northeast Ohio.
Heights Arts
Heights Arts presents their " Group Show 2021" exhibit as well as " Bernadette Glorioso's Spotlight Show" through May 16. The "Group Show" features five artists' works in painting, sculpture and mixed media. Bernadette Glorioso's exhibition centers around her bright, abstract paintings inspired by nature. Visitors must wear masks, and the gallery capacity is limited to 8 guests inside at a time.
Heights Arts also offers a virtual walk-through of various public art projects and pieces on their website.
The Sculpture Center
The Sculpture Center presents their " Altered Reality" project every day from 12-4 p.m. through Saturday, May 8. The in-person display uses sensory technology to explore how virtual interactions have impacted our social behaviors. The project is available to the public by appointment.
Recovery Resources
Recovery Resources' " Virtual May Art Show" is live through May 31. The online exhibit aims to shine a light on Mental Health Awareness Month and fight the stigma against mental illness. The show features a variety of artists, including patients from the MetroHealth Medical Center as well as Recovery Resources clients.
Summit Artspace
The Summit Artspace currently features three virtual art collections, including the " Artists of Rubber City Member Show", " The Art of Y exhibit" and the " Ohio Collage Society's 15th Annual Member Show." "The Artists of Rubber City Member Show" is live through May 22, and the rest of the exhibits are on display until June 26.
Visitors can view any of Summit Artspace's shows in person on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Massillon Museum
The " Women of Resilience" exhibition at the Massillon Museum features 25 women artists and is on display through May 23. Priscilla Roggenkamp, Judith Sterling, and Patricia O'Neill Sacha curated the show, which celebrates the centennial of women's suffrage in the United States.
The museum requires masks and social distancing, and the exhibit's April 8 panel discussion is available online for those who want to learn about the show virtually.
