Special Guest: Meet Muralist Derek Brennan
As part of this special evening, we’re excited to welcome Derek Brennan, the artist behind CVAC’s upcoming ‘Pantone of the Cuyahoga River‘ mural project! Brennan, a renowned Cleveland-based muralist, has painted nearly 50 large-scale murals, with his work featured at MetroHealth, The Cleveland Museum of Art Community Arts Center, and Cleveland Public Auditorium. At the reception, guests will have the opportunity to meet Derek, ask questions about his creative process, and learn more about this exciting public art project coming to CVAC. The mural is made possible through the generous support of ArtsNow and the ArtsForward grant, reinforcing CVAC’s mission to make art accessible and engaging for the community.
