FEATURED ART ON DISPLAY

DOUBTING THOMAS – 856 Jefferson

Sean Mabin—Parma Attacks Tremont

Mabin is a Parma native who attended the Cleveland Institute of Art where he was fortunate to have been instructed by the world famous Viktor Schreckengost. He has a long relationship with the Parma Area Fine Arts Council, and now has taken the next step and opened a new gallery, named Prama Artspace and Gallery. He’s bringing his gang to Tremont.

Giancarlo Calicchia Gallery – 722 Literary

Giancarlo Calicchia—sculpture and paintings

The gallery will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. featuring sculpture and paintings by Giancarlo Calicchia. His sculptures in bronze, marble, onyx, granite, and wood seem to visit the contemporary world from the depths of a heroic past. His studio practice also is a time-travelling experience, involving cavernous spaces, months of strenuous, deafening toil, and an immersion in the process of large-scale carving rarely seen in the modern world.
