The Way of All Flesh features Campbell’s series Motorcyclists of the Seventies in its entirety at CONVIVIUM33 GALLERY Josaphat Arts Hall. These thirteen 5 x 7-foot paintings were commissioned in the 1970s by Cleveland collector Joseph Erdelac, and executed by Campbell from 1973-1981. Shirley Aley Campbell has been one of the Midwest’s premier painters and graphic artists for more than half a century. No one has represented the human body with a keener eye for muscular poise and thrust, capturing the poignancy and psychological weight of flesh. Trained at the Arts Student League in New York, the Pratt Institute, and the Cleveland School of the Arts, she was celebrated as one of the region’s brightest lights well before her thirtieth birthday. Throughout the 1950’s her works were included annually in the Butler Museum of American Art’s Midyear Exhibition, and during the same time period she was awarded First Prize in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s annual May Show three years in a row. She went on to teach at various Cleveland area institutions and is currently Professor Emeritus at the Cleveland Institute of Art and Cuyahoga Community College. Her most recent solo show at C.I.A. was mounted in 1978. RECENT EXHIBITION Ladies Room \| Arts Lead \| Cleveland Scene http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/ladies-room/Content?oid=2437192 Convivium 33 celebrates the art of local women Around Noon: Jessica Lea Mayfield, Barbara Stanczak & Theater Ninjas http://www.ideastream.org/an/entry/39471 Cleveland, Ohio- Convivium33 Gallery at Josaphat Arts Hall presents: 21st Century Expressions of the Second Sex featuring works by Northeast Ohio’s leading and most respected female artists. “One is not born, but rather becomes a woman,” declared French author Simone de Beauvoir in her 1949 work, The Second Sex. Sixty years later, in November 2009, the book was newly translated and re-released and it remains as compelling as ever. On the theme of a woman’s metamorphosis, Beauvoir wrote, “Then from woman’s point of view I shall describe the world in which women must live; and thus we shall be able to envisage the difficulties in their way as, endeavoring to make their escape from the sphere hitherto assigned them, they aspire to full membership in the human race.” 21st Century Expressions of The Second Sex will showcase selected works by leading female regional artists, created in the world in which women artists must live. The pieces may span the decades of a career or reflect new work produced specifically for the show. A December 2009 ARTNews feature, The Feminist Evolution by Phoebe Hoban echoed the words of Beauvoir and underscores the timeliness of Convivium33 Gallery’s latest show. “Museums are exhibiting an increased sensitivity to collecting and presenting works by women- through new acquisitions, solo shows and a stronger focus on artists who were previously neglected. But true gender equality, critics maintain, remains elusive,” Hoban wrote. Curator Alenka Banco aims to explore a woman’s voice during the different stages of life through art. Similar to Beauvoir’s ‘Facts and Myth’s’ in book one of The Second Sex, there is a chronicle for womankind not unlike, stations of the cross, journeying from girlhood, through puberty and sexual initiation, to maturity and old age. 21st Century Expressions of the Second Sex will showcase art as an individual reflection of womanhood,” explains Banco. The exhibit includes artists of various ages at different points in life, and depicts works produced in a variety of media.

November 2008: THE BLACK CHURCH PROJECT: "REVELATIONS":Photographs of Cleveland's African American Churches MICHAEL STEPHEN LEVY “Through his lens, Mr. Levy captures the joy, sadness, soul and spirit of the black church and moves us with photographs of quiet reflection, exuberant praise and abiding fellowship. He enables all of us to see the strength of our elders and the power and promise of our young people-all gathered together in worship.” -from the foreword REVELATIONS -The Honorable Stephanie Tubbs Jones U.S. Congress (OH-11) MEDIA Plain Dealer Art Critic-Steve Litt writes: " The exhibition is an astonishing, arresting, and extremely powerful portrait of African American Churches in Cleveland ." http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2008/11/_one_of_the_joys.html wcpn Around Noon: INTERVIEW- A YEAR IN REVIEW http://www.wcpn.org/index.php/WCPN/an/15873/ CLEVELAND SCENE http://www.clevescene.com/stories/15/80/open-the-doors-and-see-all-the-people The Cleveland Plain Dealer http://blog.cleveland.com/architecture/2008/12/_with_the_economy_in.html The Black Church Project Exhibition takes the visitor on a journey into a welcoming yet very private community, revealing and sharing the strengths of a common faith. The hard-bound compilation REVELATIONS - PHOTOGRAPHS OF CLEVELAND’S AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCHES published by Kent State University Press in cooperation with Cleveland State University’s Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs collects seventy-two of Michael Levy’s deeply moving photographs. Working both in crisp black and white and vibrant color, Levy documents the joy, sorrow, and spiritual resolve of members of Cleveland’s east side African American community worshipping in diverse locations and ways -- in houses and in churches, in sober reflection, jubilation, and song. Levy’s book is both an act of intense artistic concentration, and a gift of faith from the men and women, adults and children depicted, who tell their need and their strength to the camera and future generations.

Just as Cleveland is re-establishing an international profile as the design center, Cleveland's national profile has been growing. Throughout Cleveland's history, design, manufacturing and quality have been a consistent component in Cleveland's economic growth and national recognition. Convivium33 joins forces with Cleveland Designer, Greg Morris to showcase a selection of contemporary artists who walk the fine line of decorative and visual arts. The emphasis here is principally, though not exclusively sculptural. From the meticulous to the obsessive, attention to detail, recycling, piecing and repetition are processes that result in a dramatic variety of forms and subjects. Morris brings to the forefront Cleveland’s growing and progressive design community during this Holiday season. Among the areas featured in this exhibit, these progressive artists highlight expressions in furniture and jewelry as areas of exploration. Interest in this exhibition revolves around the idea that functional art has the ability to engage with critical ideas on a multiplicity of levels, from the visual to the tactile, and from the conceptual to the utilitarian. April 2007 ARTE: PHYLLIS SELTZER Recent works by internationally recognized Cleveland painter and printmaker Phyllis Seltzer were featured in ARTE, an exhibition at Convivium33 Gallery from April 6 through May 27, 2007.
