Launched in 2012 by art collectors and patrons John Farina and Adam Tully, Maria Neil Art Project is dedicated to showcasing the art and artists of Cleveland. The mission of Maria Neil Art Project is based on its founder’s vision of presenting the rich mix of talented - and often under-represented – artists in the city and making art collecting more accessible and attainable to a wider audience.
Maria Neil Art Project has developed its focus around the spirit and work of a lively collection of artists whose work embodies both skill and risk taking. We work with artists that are relevant to the current contemporary atmosphere, and create opportunities for new and emerging artists. The gallery offers the finest in contemporary paintings, works on paper, sculpture, photographs and other media. The gallery maintains an ongoing close creative relationship with its own roster as well as a strong collaborative relationship with other galleries and artists. Outside collaborations include exhibitions in traditional and non-traditional spaces. We are dedicated to providing expertise and guidance to both beginning and established collectors, as well as working with museum, corporate, and other art professionals in the acquisition and sale of works of art. The gallery continues to earn a dedicated following of collectors who value the wealth of artistic talent found right here in our hometown. In addition to presenting many distinctive exhibitions throughout the year, Maria Neil Art Project also provides professional custom framing (through our collaboration with Frameworks), art rental, art consultation services, and artwork installation. We would like to thank the many visitors who attend our exhibitions and programs. Thoughtful and interested viewers and collectors are what make art galleries thrive. We encourage you to attend and enjoy our shows and programs in this coming season and look forward to seeing you soon.
