| | Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland Records
| | | | Creator: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1912-1962 | | | | Abstract: | The Women's Art Club of Cleveland was established in 1912 in the Gage Gallery as the first exclusively female art organization in Cleveland, Ohio. The club formed when the Bohemian Club split into a men's club, The Arts Club (later The Cleveland Society of Artists), and a women's club, The Women's Art Club of Cleveland. The mission of the club was to bring female artists together in order to facilitate community and higher artistic ideals. Also, the club wanted to advance the artistic interests of Cleveland through educational programs and exhibitions of members' artwork. Further, they sought recognition, respect, and support based on their exhibitions from the Cleveland community with an interest in the city's cultural growth. Women became members by filing applications and being voted in by the club. The four classes of membership (active, associate, sustaining, and life) were based on whether or not the woman created artwork. Active members created artwork, but associate members did not. Associate members had an interest in art, but did not vote or hold office. Sustaining members were active or associate members who toke a larger financial responsibility in the club. Also, life members were active or associate members who paid a designated fee. The Board of Trustees had ultimate control over the club. The Trustees elected from among themselves the President, Vice-President, Recording and Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer. Various committees conducted the activities of the club. Exhibitions and social events were the main focus of the club. The collection consists of scrapbooks. | | | | Call #: | MS 4976 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Art -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Societies, etc.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 2 | Title: | William H. Eckman Papers
| | | | Creator: | Eckman, William H. | | | | Dates: | 1865-1885 | | | | Abstract: | William H. Eckman was probably a member of the Cleveland Art Club, formed in 1876 by Archibald M. Willard, the celebrated painter of The Spirit of '76, the most popular painting of The Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia in 1876. Primarily a group of young artists, the Art Club (also known as the Old Bohemians) provided Cleveland with its first nucleus of notable artists, most of them the sons of German immigrants. The members met at Willard's studio in the Union Natl. Bank Bldg. to discuss art and draw from live models, and club members fostered the Cleveland Art School, which operated out of the clubrooms until 1868. Frederick Carl Gottwald, the dean of Cleveland painters and a long-time instructor at the Cleveland School of Art (later the Cleveland Institute of Art), founded the Art Club along with Willard in 1876. George Grossman later left Cleveland to found a New York City artists colony, and Daniel Wehrschmidt eventually taught and painted in Bushey, near London. The collection consists of a journal (1870) containing brief notes on Eckman's daily activities, scrapbook containing drawings, sketches, and watercolors by members of the Cleveland Art Club, and other papers. Persons represented in the scrapbook include Otto H. Backer, George P. Bradley, William H. Eckman, George Grossman, George C. Groll, Daniel A. Wehrschmidt, Sion L. Wenban, and Archibald M. Willard. Includes manuscripts on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. | | | | Call #: | MS 0820 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Eckman, William H. | Willard, Archibald M., 1836-1918. | Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865 -- Assassination. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Drawing -- 19th century -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Watercolor painting -- 19th century -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
