October 24 – December 1, 2023

reception: November 9, 4 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Artist Talk: November 9, 6 p.m.

 

KENT, Ohio – The School of Art Collection and Galleries at Kent State University is pleased to announce the Curlee Raven Holton & Raven Fine Art Editions Distinguished Art Fellowship. This fellowship/residency will invite artists of national and international reputations to interact with KSU students, staff, and the broader community.  

The inaugural Fellow is the artist, Willie Cole. There will be an exhibit of Cole’s work in the CVA (Center for the Visual Arts) Gallery, October 24 – December 1st, 2023. There will also be a reception on November 9th, 4–6 p.m., and a talk by the artist at 6 pm.  

Curlee Raven Holton, the donor who has created this fellowship opportunity for the School of Art states “I am honored to have partnered with the Kent State University School of Art Collection and Galleries under the leadership of Anderson Turner and the College of Fine Art in establishing the Curlee Raven Holton & Raven Fine Art Editions Distinguished Art Fellowship….What makes this residency so unique is its focus on historical and contemporary artistic practices in the context of research and visual scholarship.  Artists are often thought of only as makers of aesthetic objects for the viewer's pleasure. However, if given the opportunity and environment the artist's inquiry and creative significance becomes much more. They not only express and articulate their lived experiences through their work, but they also understand the significance of cultural, historical, and social events as a context for their practice. Artists can help us recognize important historical moments and facts and offer illuminating insights that broaden our understanding of the past and in some cases appreciate more fully our present realities.        

I graduated from KSU with an MFA with honors in 1990 with a focus in printmaking and went on to receive recognition as a practicing artist, educator, and administrator. I believe my wide range of diverse academic experiences at KSU, and the mentorship of my teachers prepared me for a successful career and a strong belief in the power of collaborative engagement.” 

In 1996 as a Professor of Art, Curlee Raven Holton at Lafayette College established the Experimental Printmaking Institute to provide a diverse cultural and artistic experience for both the student body, college community and public at large. During a twenty-year period, he hosted over 100 artists from the US and internationally. During this period works were published for institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and included in prestigious collections, the Library of Congress, National Gallery of Art, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Phillips Collection, Smithsonian Museum, and the Folgers Shakespeare Library.  

In 2006 Holton refined his collaborative workshop vision with Raven Fine Art Edition. Raven Fine Art edition provides a dedicated workspace for a select group of important artists to investigate how the printmaking medium can contribute to their creative output and career objectives. Many of the artists working with Raven Edition, both established and emerging, have produced museum quality works that have been collected and exhibited nationally and internationally.

Riffing on the Human Condition features artwork from the two Cleveland-based artists/designers and will be on display from June 13 – July 26, 2025, in the KSU Downtown Gallery, located at 141 East Main Street in Kent, Ohio. There will be a reception on June 13 from 5-7 p.m., which is free and open to the public.

Northeast Ohio artists Justin Will and Joe Lanzilotta’s graphic painting styles both employ bold colors and flattened shapes as their visual languages for coping with the contemporary human condition. Will’s work uses joy and humor as means of easing the burdens of existence, while Lanzilotta confronts it head-on, highlighting some of the absurd and strange truths about being a human alive in the world today.

This exhibit is free and open to the public and has been brought to you with support from the Ohio Arts Council.

Jun. 18, 2025

Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor milkman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia. Rich in historical and ethnic detail, “Fiddler on the Roof’s” universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness.

“Fiddler on The Roof” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
