Stop by the Ames Family Atrium between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to get a firsthand look at the art-making process. Each session provides the opportunity to engage and interact with a different Northeast Ohio maker during pop-up demonstrations and activities. See their work unfold and learn how artists create. Explore a related selection of authentic objects from the CMA’s Education Art Collection in a pop-up Art Up Close session. See, think, and wonder.

Join Nate Powell, National Book Award-winning cartoonist and illustrator of John Lewis’s March trilogy, as he demonstrates his art-making process. Learn about the illustration process in the publishing industry and explore the Cleveland Humanities Festival’s theme of Freedom.
