American Springtime

Letter of support for Dana

Feb. 26, 2009

Committee,

I have committed to have a solo show of new paintings at the Asterisk Gallery in August 2009. I’ve been following the progression of the Tremont art scene for many years and have been impressed. Asterisk Gallery has especially interested me. The exhibitions I’ve seen are very innovative and I’m excited about the opportunity to show there.

Some of the favorable impressions I’ve had are a direct result of Galley Director Dana Depew. His fearlessness in exhibiting high quality, insightful art shows is admirable. The exhibits there are professional, well organized and memorable.

The Gallery is large, clean and well lit, an ideal place to have an art show. When I spoke with Dana he seems to have a long term plan and I get the sense that he’ll be part of the Cleveland art scene for a long time.

I’ve been painting in Cleveland for thirty years and have seen great efforts stall due to lack of support. My wish for Dana and the Asterisk Gallery is that he receives the help and support he needs to carry on this worthy and much needed endeavor.

Sincerely,

Matthew Dibble
