After the parade jump on a trolly or drive over to the Gordon Square Arts District for pArty on the Square!

Enjoy the festivities then stop by and visit Art House in its storefront location on Detroit Shoreway to meet international guest artist, Alka Mathur.  Take a look at the unique work created by Mathur during her stay in Cleveland and some earlier work brought from India.  Mathur incorporates everyday used tea bags into her own work .  For her, the simple act of making, drinking, drying, and unfolding the tea captures memories which she uses to create visually alluring pieces that weave people together through moments in time.

Activities:

3-5 pm:  Discharge Painting:  Join Alka Mathur, international artist from India, to create one of a kind works from cloth or paper using natural dyes as paint.   

6-8 pm:  Stamping and Printing:  Use traditional stamps from India to create unique pieces such as cards, bookmarks, and abstract works.

Gordon Square Arts District is located between West 58th-West 69th & Detroit Ave, Cleveland

The Cleveland Foundation’s Creative Fusion program comes to Art House!

This April Art House welcomes artist Alka Mathur from India for a three month residency made possible by the Cleveland Foundation’s Creative Fusion program. Check back for more information about her stay!

www.alkamathur.com

Born in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. She is a qualified artist from the Sir J. J. School of Arts, Mumbai. She has held various solo and group shows since 1992. Her language has been a mix of the contemporary with the traditional. She has been able to explore the two worlds and come up with a vocabulary which marries the east and the west. She has a passion for tea bags and is very interested in how life is synonymous with tea; starting from the tea leaves being cultivated in large tea estates to it ending up as drained tea bags in some ones trash can. She enjoys the stains and dyes that the tea bag produces. She has also studied under expert dyers in Jaipur. All this has culminated in a body of work that is varied, earthy and uniquely her. Her stint at a Residency in Santa Fe helped her to crystallize and clarify her ideas and processes. Alka’s works are a part of Private and Public collections in India and abroad.
