 Welcome to the Euclid Art Association...
  • Our next monthly meeting is Monday, April 1, 2024 at 7:00p.m. in Fellowship Hall of East Shore United Methodist Church, 23002 Lake Shore Blvd., Euclid.  Our guest demonstrator is Nada Talevska, an artist using the unique medium of pressed flowers.  The title of her demo is "Using Pressed Flowers to Make Art".  After having left a successful career in the corporate world in 2018, Nada soon started a journey in creating art using genuine flower blooms from her garden.  Her collages in geometric designs are created entirely with plant material and her pencil drawings, mostly faces, are adorned with flowers.  Her perspective of nature has forever changed – instead of petals, stems, and buds, she now sees what can become an eyelash, lips, and hair.  Visit her website: www.pressedflowerartisan.com.  Join us on April 1 as Nada shares her passion for creating this unique artwork.  All are Welcome to Attend!
  • We thank our March demonstrator, Danielle Dixon for sharing her talents in wood burning.  Her Zoom presentation, "Portrait Wood Burning" was enjoyed by the 13 members who watched an interesting presentation by this amazing artist.  If you missed it and would like to see the demonstration, our president Rozenia Cunningham has recently posted it on EAA’s YouTube channel.  Click here to view it.  Danielle chose to do a portrait of James Baldwin, a 20th-century American writer and civil rights activist who published novels, essays and plays on race, spirituality and human rights.  Normally it takes five hours to complete a portrait, but Danielle was able to achieve an incredible likeness in her wood burning portrait in just over an hour….an excellent demonstration enjoyed by all.
  • The Euclid Art Association is offering the Margaret E. Hain Memorial Art Scholarship to a Euclid High School senior who will graduate in 2024.  This $600 award will be available to a student who is currently receiving art instruction and plans to pursue further education in the study of art.  Senior art students should see their art teacher or guidance counselor, Kathleen Gonakis, for forms and details.  The application deadline is 6:00 p.m. on April 12.  Winner will be announced in May.
  • The Euclid Art Association’s Annual Spring Fine Art Show at the Euclid Public Library is May 11 - 18, 2024.  Original artwork by local artists will be on display and for sale.  We selected two artworks by Lee Peters, former EAA president, to raffle at the show….a floral close-up and an AI generated image.  Reception is scheduled for Wednesday, May 15, 2024, 6:30p.m. to 8:30p.m.  Public is welcome!
