The Northern Ohio Art Dealers Association is pleased to announce its 2014 ARTExpo the weekend of March14th, 15th and 16th. Once again the Expo will take place within the Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation’s Transformer Station, 1460 West 29th St., Cleveland. The Transformer Station, which marked its one-year anniversary earlier in 2014, is a jewel of Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood. The museum is devoted to their private photography collection for part of the year and used by the Cleveland Museum of Art for photography exhibitions during the rest of the year.
The Expo offers a unique opportunity
for patrons to browse and buy fine works of art from among Ohio’s most
respected dealers and galleries. This is the only expo of its kind in the
region and the only place where such a diversified offering can be found all in
one place at one time. All of the participating galleries and dealers have
placed art with major museums, private and corporate collections and will bring
to the 2014 Expo a selection showcasing their best works. This eclectic offering includes a cross section of
historic, regional, international, modern and contemporary, paintings,
drawings, original prints, photography, fiber art and sculpture. All works will be available for purchase and
will appeal to a broad range of tastes, from established collectors to those
purchasing a work of art for the first time.
The 2014 ARTExpo will open on Friday,
March 14 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a gala preview party. Wine and hors
d’oeuvres will be served as patrons peruse the various booths where they can
purchase art in an intimate atmosphere and interact freely with the dealers who
also offer extensive knowledge of all aspects of collecting art including
conservation, framing, appraisals and installation for both private and
corporate clients.
The Expo will continue on Saturday, May 11
from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday, May 12 from Noon to 5:00 PM. As a special
event, on Saturday afternoon at 2:00p.m. noted art historian Dr Henry Adams

each. On Sunday at 2:00p.m Adams will be present to discuss and sign his new
book, ‘Painting in Pure Color, Modern Art in Cleveland before the Armory Show
1908 – 1913”as well as several of his older books which will also be available
