Fountain Gallery
The Fountain Gallery continues to feature Malone students in the Fourth Annual exhibit of R.S.V.P., a Writing and Visual Art Exchange through February 18, 2014. Bridging the gap between the right brain and the left brain, R.S.V.P. involves students, half of whom are visual artists with the other half being writers. Participants are randomly paired in artist/writer duos. Each writer is to respond to a visual artwork with a piece of poetry or prose. Each artist responds to a written work in a visual medium such as paint, fiberarts, or photography. A reception will be held on January 16, 2014 from 4 - 6 P.M. The Fountain Gallery is located on the Malone University campus in the Johnson Center for Worship and the Arts. The Johnson Center is located at 2600 Cleveland Ave, NW, Canton, Ohio 44709. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. through 6 p.m.
McFadden Gallery
The McFadden Gallery is featuring Whimsical Worlds of Wonder mixed media digital photographs by Canton-based artist, Michael Weiss, through February 4, 2014. Through a combination of drawings, photography, painting and digital artistry, Weiss’ works create a world where words tumble off pages, children transform into angels and boats soar through the sky on journeys into the unknown. Weiss writes of his work, “It is my job as an illustrator to compliment, not compete, with a story. This body of work is like a storybook. Each piece is like a page from a book, only the beginning of the story nor the ending isn’t always clear. . . . My inspiration comes from book titles and quotes, as well as song lyrics and movie taglines.” Weiss’ work has been published in Stark Arthology, Somerset Magazine, and Incite: Dreams Realized. He has permanent gallery space at Evolution Art on Fourth Street in Canton’s Arts District. He has won numerous design and illustration awards as the Associate Graphics Editor at The Repository.
