Links for more information are especially valuable for selections of artists for oral histories and more research. The artists and images on the www.clevelandartandhistory.org website should whet your appetite about exploring further the work of these artists or other artists living in this region. We encourage teachers to expand and explore the possibilities as they see possible for their classroom. Many artists have full websites under their own names. If they are not on the website per se, simply reach their website by name.
