Only 3 more shows to catch the robotic mayhem in "Heddatron"!!!
HEDDATRON
Written by Elizabeth Meriwether
Directed by Jeremy Paul
"Heddatron" is the story of a pregnant housewife who is kidnapped by robots and taken to the Amazon rainforest where she is forced to perform Henrik Ibsen's 'Hedda Gabler' over and over again. Meanwhile, her family plans a rescue attempt and back in 1890, Ibsen struggles to write a new play. Intelligent, funny and surprisingly poignant, "Heddatron" includes the only human-robot musical number on Cleveland stages this year.

SPACES - SPACELAB seeking applications from regional artists
Dear Professor, Educator, Artist or Friend,
Please join SPACES in spreading our call: Applications wanted for 2009/10 SPACELab Season. This program is open to established or emerging artists, age 21 or older, living in the following Northeast Ohio counties: Ashtabula, Columbiana, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Holmes, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, and Wayne. Deadlines are: May 15, 2009 (first review) and August 14, 2009 (second review) for the 2009/10 exhibition season.
SPACELab is a laboratory created to help artists push and pull a concept until it materializes. By providing resources and instruction SPACELab not only acts as a venue for the display of process and projects but plays an active role in the conceptualization of art. Participation in SPACELab has been narrowed in scope to the Northeast Ohio region in order to ensure an affordable experience to artists while creating new opportunities for artists in the region.
Accepted artists will participate in an intensive program geared toward experimenting with artistic practices and concepts that will culminate in small solo exhibitions or events during SPACES 2009/10 exhibition season. With a focus on new ideas and the creation of new work within the immediate artistic community, SPACELab cultivates progressive thought in the community at large.
Your role in the community is crucial to the future of the arts in Cleveland . We want to engage you, your colleges and your students as much as possible. Please feel free to apply and pass applications along to those you think might be interested. Please let us know if you have any questions

About the Artist MARY PLATZ HUGHESplatzhughes@sbcglobal.net Primarily a painter and printmaker, I also work with other media that each have their own unique qualities. Encaustic paint is vivid, luminous, and of rich color and texture and relief prints are organic and rough. These vehicles are only one of many components that convey my ideas graphically. When working on something abstract for instance, the ideas and concerns related to color, composition, and mood help communicate or evoke a certain response with graphic concerns. When working with more realistic imagery, it may still be abstracted or taken out of context. While the shape or subject matter is of interest, real objects may be transformed and reduced. And then there are times when it is just plain fun to play with color and design. There is no deliberate plan and I just go with whatever moves me at the time. Whether pastels, painting, printmaking, or photography technical qualities and my life are both relevant in my art.

The Pop Shop Gallery/(art)ificial Gallery - Deckwreckers
The Pop Shop Gallery/(art)ificial Gallery
17020 Madison Ave.
Lakewood, OH 44107
216.227.8440
New Gallery Opens and Defines Arts District in Lakewood
The Pop Shop Gallery opens new doors and births a new child. On May 2nd 2009, the Pop Shop opens it’s second wing (once it’s studio space) to a new gallery called (Art)ificial Gallery. (Art)ificial Gallery will be a contemporary gallery geared towards national and seasoned artists, complimenting the Pop Shop which supports local and up and coming artists. This space will help define the arts in the Cleveland area, and anchor the arts district growing on the east side of Madison Ave.
(Art)ificial Gallery will present its first show entitled “DECKWRECKERS” (a group skateboard art show ) for it’s unveiling on May 2nd, 2009 from 6-9pm curated by Keith Corcoran. This show will run from May 2 - May 29, 2009.
NYC transplant and contemporary artist Keith Corcoran joins forces with (art)ificial Gallery in Lakewood, Ohio to bring you a hand-picked collection of tasty artwork slathered onto hundreds of layers of wood veneer goodness. While there is no overall subject matter theme to the show, the common thread is the use of a blank skate deck as a substrate for the artwork.
As curator of this group art show, Keith has assembled the talents of more than 20 artists from Ohio, Los Angeles and New York City. The diverse artist list for DECKWRECKERS features fine artists, children's book illustrators, graffiti artists and others who bring their own unique approach to a common wooden “canvas.”
"One of my goals in curating this show, aside from bringing together top talent, is to give the gallery visitor an immersive experience that compels them to want to see the show more then once," says Keith. To accomplish this goal Keith transforms the gallery space into an environment that not only complements the individual artwork contained within but brings the various pieces together for a complete experience.
In addition to the opening of (Art)ificial Gallery, the Pop Shop will house its 4th anniversary show simultaneously. Two shows for the price of one, for low, low price of FREE!
DECKWRECKERS and the 4th Anniversary show will kick the night off at 6pm on Saturday, May 2nd and will feature music, drinks, hors d'oeuvres and a special after-party for attendees at 9pm at Mullens on Madison (www.mullensonmadison.com).

ArtCares - Benefit this Sunday
Initiated by the Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA) in 2003, ArtCares is a collaboration between the CIA, the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland, and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). Born out of the awareness of the devastating impact the AIDS epidemic has had on the world of art, and out of a consequent awareness that artists can contribute to the fight against HIV/AIDS, ArtCares celebrates contemporary art by providing opportunities to bid on original works in a variety of media, while enjoying wine and savories at an elegant reception. All proceeds from the event benefit the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland.
