Opening at Arts Collinwood Gallery this Friday

Thought you'd be interested in the art opening Arts Collinwood is having this Friday for "Instructions from the Cook", a book that neighborhood-resident George Nemeth co-authored with Jack that Maurice's photographs helped illustrate. Photographs on display will include both work from the book as well as newer work by Jack and Maurice. Hope you can make it!

Photographs for New Conversations
The Art of Jack Ricchiuto and Maurice Small
January 16-January 31
Arts Collinwood Gallery
15605 Waterloo Rd.

Jack Ricchiuto, author of Instructions from the Cook: Recipes for New Conversations with ArtsCollinwood trustee George Nemeth (as well as seven other books), is a writer teaching people how to have the kinds of conversations that have the power to create a future different from the past. His clients are leaders, organizations, and communities striving for new approaches to leadership, strategic planning, project management, and community engagement. His photography reflects a Buddhist aesthetic developed by thirty years of practice.

Maurice Small is Cleveland's original Urban Farmer, a field consultant at the New Agrarian Center in Oberlin and Food Access Consultant at City Fresh. His favorite question is "What are you eating?" If there's a meal Maurice has eaten that he hasn't photographed, it was before he owned a camera. Maurice's photographs are included in Instructions from the Cook.

The opening for Photographs for New Conversations will be Friday, January 16 from 6:30-9:30PM and will included a City Fresh cooking demo, readings from Instructions and a session of Thinkers & Drinkers. It's free and open to the public.
