The Cleveland Institute of Art, a college of art and design, offers engaging public programming throughout the year, from gallery exhibitions to Cinematheque screenings and public continuing education classes for Northeast Ohioans.Two current exhibitions showcase the prodigious and thoughtful creativity of the CIA community – particularly the College’s students.• Love is Resistance: “Love Is Resistance” is an exhibition that centers love as a radical form of resistance and an expression of community support. Developed by CIA faculty and gallery staff in partnership with the Cleveland Museum of Art, this exhibition features artwork by CIA students, alumni and faculty.Those artists – working across disciplines and at different stages of their careers – connected their work to objects from CMA’s collection that engage with resistance and love from an art historical perspective. Through mining the lessons of art history and applying present-day perspectives, they created artwork that responds to the present moment, creating transformative visions that resist systems of oppression rooted in hate, fear, division and injustice.‘Love is Resistance” is on view through Sunday, April 6 at CMA’s Transformer Station at 1460 W. 29th St. in Cleveland.
