Silent and live auction items offer artwork, jewelry, private tour of the Van Sweringen's Greenbriar Suite, and an iPad raffle, and much more. The benefit takes its theme from the Octavofest program of book and paper arts with three exhibitions taking place at CAF this fall. These exhibitions celebrate the work of Tom Balbo, director of the Morgan Art of Papermaking Conservatory and Educational Foundation, and Art Books Cleveland (ABC). ABC, an organization devoted to advancing the appreciation of bookmaking and paper arts, will feature its fifth annual abecedarium exhibition of handmade books that explore the alphabet or an aspect of any alphabet. The group will host the first juried retrospective of their handmade art books. CAF is honoring Tom at the benefit for his distinguished career as an artist and Morgan co-founder, for the creative, artistic, and economic impact he has brought to our region, and noteworthy achievement of reaching an international audience with his groundbreaking Watermarks 2012 Conference. The Cleveland Artists Foundation, founded in 1984, is dedicated to advancing knowledge of the significant visual art and architecture of the Northeast Ohio region. Collecting, scholarship, and education preserve its proud history as we celebrate the current and future Greater Cleveland arts community. Proceeds raised from the benefit are an essential means of accomplishing this goal. Purchase Benefit & Raffle Tickets
