Our Artloan Benefit features the George Streeter Circulating Collection which contains over
200 pieces of artwork contributed by recognized Cleveland artists such as Viktor
Schreckengost and Herb Ascherman, as well as patients/artists who have participated in the
Studio’s creative, therapeutic arts programs since 1967.
These paintings are “loaned” to guests for a one-year period in return for a donation.
The benefits of the Circulating Collection are two-fold: it gives Cleveland artists and our
patient/artists the opportunity to showcase their work and it provides the Art Therapy
Studio with a continuing means of generating funds. Since the inception of the ArtLoan
program, over $150,000 has been raised to support our therapeutic arts programs.
.
You will also have the opportunity to see Artists at Work - watch artists in action, speak
with them about their creative process, and bid on artwork created that night at the
event. Personal interaction is the greatest value in the Art Therapy process —
when people create together in the Studio, hope is also created - hope that support,
growth, and healing is possible.
