Phyllis Seltzer: The Italian Works, Travis Kinchy: From the Shadows into Light and CAN DO! LIKE YOU on view May 14 to June 20

CLEVELAND (Thursday, May 7, 2015) – The Galleries at CSU close the 2014-15 season with three exhibitions set to run May 14 to June 20: Phyllis Seltzer: The Italian Works, Travis Kinchy: From the Shadows into Light and CAN DO! LIKE YOU.

A special opening reception, free and open to the public, is planned from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on May 14 at The Galleries, located at 1307 Euclid Ave., Cleveland.

Seltzer, a Cleveland artist primarily known for her iconic paintings of Cleveland, is also a part-time resident of Venice, Italy. Her lesser-known Italian Works, never before seen in Cleveland, will be the focus of her exhibition, which will be showcased in the North Gallery.

Kinchy’s work, to be displayed in the Center Gallery, features highly expressive, somber and melancholy sculptures in clay and bronze that deal with universal and mythological themes of the human condition.

CAN DO! LIKE YOU, presented in collaboration with the Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities and SAW, Inc., is an exhibition of works in a variety of mediums created by artists with developmental challenges.

Summer gallery viewing hours are noon to 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and by appointment only Mondays through Thursdays. The Galleries are closed on Sundays.

The Galleries at CSU, housed in the heart of the Cleveland State University Arts Campus, feature three distinct exhibition spaces, a multi-purpose media space, a resource library and a meeting area, as well as state-of-the-art lighting and surround sound.
