Harper has been called "...an innovator in iconography, technique and use of materials" who has influenced a generation of enamelists. His work combines religious imagery from cultures around the world with a remarkable aesthetic sensibility.

Miller is world renowned in the metalsmithing field for his research and work in granulation. During his 40-year tenure on the faculty of The Cleveland Institute of Art, he taught courses in watercolor, design, film animation, filmmaking, and metalry.

The alumni exhibition, From Here to Infinity and The Big Bang, celebrates 125 years of innovation with work by 54 alumni displayed in two venues. Work by established artists like Harper and Miller (From Here to Infinity) will be mounted in the Reinberger Galleries of the Institute's Gund building, 11141 East Boulevard, Cleveland, from September 7 until October 27; and work by emerging artists (The Big Bang) will be featured at SPACES, a gallery at 2220 Superior Viaduct, Cleveland.
