The Cleveland Institute of Art's Reinberger Gallery and Alumni Council proudly present the 2023 Alumni Exhibition, Come, Rest Here by My Side. This juried exhibition will showcase work by CIA alums from different graduating years and artistic practices, and it will offer viewers the opportunity to learn more about the college and its influence on the artistic vocabulary of the region.

Come, Rest Here by My Side will be on view from Friday, July 14 through Friday, August 11 in Reinberger Gallery. An opening reception will take place on July 14. Event details to come.

The 2023 Alumni Exhibition’s title, Come, Rest Here by My Side, is borrowed from Maya Angelou’s renowned poem “On the Pulse of Morning,” which invokes themes of unity, progress, connection and the hope of a yet-to-be-written future.

The jurors for Come, Rest Here by My Side are CIA Printmaking alum Clotilde Jiménez '13 and illustrator Lee White.

Jiménez is a visual artist based in Mexico City. In addition to his BFA from CIA, Jiménez earned an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, UK (2018) in Painting. His work is featured in noted collections, including The Ford Foundation, Orlando Museum of Art, Hessel Museum of Art and the Beth Rubin DeWoody collection.

White spends his days breathing life into his imaginary world. He has illustrated over 27 children’s books, including Love, Santa and Kate, Who Tamed The Wind and This Pretty Planet. White graduated with honors from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, and earned his MFA in illustration, also with honors, from the University of Hartford in Connecticut.

The 2023 Alumni Exhibition Committee includes Alumni Council members: Cherie Bauer ’81, Deborah Pinter ’88, Lauren Chaikin ’09, Karen Sandstrom ’12 and Amani Williams ’21.
