| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Society of Artists | | | | Dates: | 1925-1984 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Society of Artists was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in March 1913 by George Adomeit and Charles Shackelton. A conservative rival of the flamboyant Kokoon Arts Club, the Cleveland Society of Artists formed a connection point between Cleveland artists and supporters, both professional and amateur. Sketching and painting classes were held for members and prominent speakers were often engaged for meetings. The Society also distributed a monthly newsletter. A scholarship fund was established by the Society before it disbanded in the early 1980s. The collection consists of financial documents, internal correspondence, invitations, legal documents, rosters, and issues of the Silhouette newsletter. | | | | Call #: | MS 5058 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Society of Artists. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Art -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Art -- Study and teaching -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Art -- Scholarships, fellowships, etc. -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
