The George Streeter Circulating Collection was established in 1984. It contains over 200 pieces of artwork contributed by
recognized Cleveland area artists, such as Viktor Schreckengost and Herb Ascherman, to the patient/artists who have
participated in the Studio's creative, therapeutic arts programs since 1967. The Collection uniquely represents our belief
that art making is important to the lives of all people, whether the painting is created by a brush held in the mouth or the
hand.  

Artwork donated to the Circulating Collection is a one-time contribution that generates funds annually through our unique
“art loan” concept.  At this bi-annual special benefit exhibition, 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 and
sustaining means of generating money.  Since the inception of the art loan program, over $150,000 has been raised for
our therapeutic arts programs.
