Euclid Art Association

Welcome to the Euclid Art Association...

SPECIAL THANK YOU AND TRIBUTE TO . . . Member, Kirk Ramsey retired as Euclid Art Association's webmaster at the end of May, a position held since joining EAA in 2013. After being the webmaster for more than twelve years, Kirk said, "I gracefully bow out and give my regards to the Euclid Art Association, wishing you well as you move forward into the brave new world of your new, improved website and all that it offers." In recent months Kirk has assisted in the transition to Jim Owens, a new member with the necessary skills. Kirk Ramsey has set a high bar for all members to use one's own skillset to step up and fill a need. We are grateful for his countless hours of service to the Euclid Art Association. "Kirk, enjoy your new found free time and don't be a stranger!" READ the complete tribute on the Events page.

SCHOLARSHIP WINNER: Meet the winner of the 2025 Margaret E. Hain Memorial Art Scholarship - Euclid High School Senior, Sireniti Brown. "I've always loved to paint and art in general since I was little." For her, painting is a way to escape reality when things get stressful. She hopes that in the future her "art can also make someone else feel as though they can be at ease when life starts to become a little much"." Congratulations to Sireniti. Visit the Events page archives for images of her art.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious cookies Sandi bought from Alesci's. One art work sold... Patti Meyer's Yellow Orchid. Congrats to Cynthia Beacham for winning the raffle, a Chris Cozen original acrylic...winning ticket drawn by president, Rozenia Cunningham.

THE MANY SPECIAL THANKS CONTINUE. . .

Thank you again to Brigitte Fiorelli and her staff at the Fairmount Center. A very big thank you to everyone who helped make the Spring Fine Art Show a big success, especially show coordinator Ellen Howard.

Thank you to artist Leigh Brooklyn for traveling from Vermilion, OH, over an hour away to do the EAA annual June critique of members' art, a very popular event. Dressed in her 'work' attire....with stone dust still on her work boots from a stone carving workshop, Leigh made positive and very constructive comments on each piece. She talked about the rule of thirds and the golden ratio of 1:0.62 in composition. She also stressed painting the edges of the canvas and so much more. Members commented that this was the best critique ever. If schedules align, Leigh will be the judge of our Beachwood show in September! Visit her website, https://www.leighbrooklyn.com/.

When EAA membership year ends on June 30, Sue Herrle's longtime service as secretary will also come to an end. A recognition was read at the June meeting. "Her dependable service has left this organization better than it was." Her husband Tom was ever present and "available to mind the door or help with hanging shows, not to mention taste testing the treats from the table. Sue has set a high bar for the many jobs that she did so well, and Euclid Art can best honor her by using the example of her high standards."
