| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 4 | Title: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland Records
| | | | Creator: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1912-1962 | | | | Abstract: | The Women's Art Club of Cleveland was established in 1912 in the Gage Gallery as the first exclusively female art organization in Cleveland, Ohio. The club formed when the Bohemian Club split into a men's club, The Arts Club (later The Cleveland Society of Artists), and a women's club, The Women's Art Club of Cleveland. The mission of the club was to bring female artists together in order to facilitate community and higher artistic ideals. Also, the club wanted to advance the artistic interests of Cleveland through educational programs and exhibitions of members' artwork. Further, they sought recognition, respect, and support based on their exhibitions from the Cleveland community with an interest in the city's cultural growth. Women became members by filing applications and being voted in by the club. The four classes of membership (active, associate, sustaining, and life) were based on whether or not the woman created artwork. Active members created artwork, but associate members did not. Associate members had an interest in art, but did not vote or hold office. Sustaining members were active or associate members who toke a larger financial responsibility in the club. Also, life members were active or associate members who paid a designated fee. The Board of Trustees had ultimate control over the club. The Trustees elected from among themselves the President, Vice-President, Recording and Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer. Various committees conducted the activities of the club. Exhibitions and social events were the main focus of the club. The collection consists of scrapbooks. | | | | Call #: | MS 4976 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Women's Art Club of Cleveland. | Women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Art -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Cleveland (Ohio) -- Societies, etc.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 15 | Title: | Hastings, Willinger and Associates Advertising Art
| | | | Creator: | Gift of Al Willinger | | | | Dates: | 1970-1990 | | | | Abstract: | Born Peter Paul Guggenheimer in Berlin in 1922, Peter Hastings was a teenager when his family fled Nazi Germany for Sweden. The family left for the United States in the late 1930s. Hastings became an American citizen, was drafted into the Army, and in the process changed his name from Guggenheimer to Hastings (at least two family members, his mother and brother, kept the name Guggenheimer). After his military service during the war, Hastings joined his parents in Cleveland. He worked with photographer Herb Rebman until he opened his own commercial studio with Al Willinger in 1948. The studio later became the advertising agency. The partnership lasted 35 years. Hastings was hired in 1952 to photograph disc jockey Alan Freed's Moondog Coronation Ball at the Cleveland Arena. The photograph that Hastings took from the balcony before he escaped the turmoil that would prematurely end the concert is world-famous and serves as the visual documentation of the birth of rock and roll. The photograph is now part of the collection of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hastings served as the unofficial photographer for the Cleveland Orchestra for 23 years. After Hastings semi-retired in the early 1990s, he took up poetry and eventually published a slim volume of his verse A Passion for Life. Hastings died on August 27, 1999, at age 76. Albert J. "Al" Willinger was born on September 13, 1920. He served as a photographer for the Cleveland Jewish News from 1964 to 1982. Willinger immortalized the "birth" of the Cleveland Jewish News with his photograph of the founding board of trustees. He subsequently snapped hundreds of photos over the years, a treasured pictorial history of the Cleveland Jewish News, as well as local Jewish history and visiting celebrities. Willinger died on August 16, 2010, at age 90. The Hastings, Willinger and Associates Advertising Art collection consists of 69 photographs. | | | | Call #: | MS 5457 | | | | Extent: | 0.10 linear feet (1 box) | | | | Subjects: | Hastings, Willinger and Associates (Cleveland, Ohio) | Commercial art -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History | Photography -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- History | Advertising agencies -- Ohio -- Cleveland

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 17 | Title: | Judy Chicago Dinner Party Site Project Records
| | | | Creator: | Judy Chicago Dinner Site Project | | | | Dates: | 1975-2001 | | | | Abstract: | "The Dinner Party" Site Project (DPSP) first formed as the Ohio-Chicago Arts Project, Inc., (O-CAP) as an endeavor to display Judy Chicago's (b. 1939) controversial magnum opus, The Dinner Party, 1979, in northeast Ohio. Judy Chicago initially conceived "The Dinner Party" to be a piece of art to commemorate and inform people about women's roles in history in 1974. It evolved into a multi-media installation which generated controversy because of its use of vulvar forms in its representation of historical female figures. The work served to solidify Chicago as a pioneer in the Feminist Art movement. "The Dinner Party" seats both mythological and historical women at a dinner table in the shape of an equilateral triangle with each side containing thirteen place settings. The place settings pay tribute to such figures as, Hatshepsut, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Blackwell, Virginia Wolfe, and Georgia O'Keeffe. Chicago sought not only to represent women, but chose art forms that have been traditionally thought of as women's craftwork, including painted china ceramics and needlework. A Heritage Floor which contains the names of 999 additional women on porcelain tiles complemented the 39 place settings. Before arriving in Cleveland, "The Dinner Party" exhibited in San Francisco (1979), Houston (1980), Boston (1980), and Brooklyn (1980). Efforts to mount the first Midwest exhibit of "The Dinner Party" in the Akron, Ohio, area began in the summer of 1980 when representatives of eight women's groups (Akron chapter of the National Organization for Women, Adult Development Committee of the Institute for Life-Span Development of the University of Akron, Akron Rape Crisis Center, Akron Task Force for Battered Women, Ohio Black Women's Leadership Caucus, Planned Parenthood Association of Summit County, Women's Caucus for Art, and Akron Women's Network) held a meeting during which they formed the Steering Committee of O-CAP. O-CAP added more members from the northeastern Ohio area to the group and incorporated shortly thereafter as a non-profit organization. Initially, O-CAP sought to bring "The Dinner Party" to Akron and have it exhibited at the E. J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall in the spring of 1981. Ultimately, O-CAP ended up mounting the exhibit in Cleveland Heights at the former Temple on the Heights on Lee Road. "The Dinner Party" opened its Midwest premiere on May 8, 1981 and ran through August 16, 1981. The exhibit proved popular and profitable, the profits being donated to various local women's organizations. In 1985, O-CAP disbanded due to a lack of activity. However, five years later, some members of O-CAP reunited to plan and celebrate the 10th Anniversary of "The Dinner Party's" exhibition in Cleveland. At that time a search was underway to secure a permanent display site for the exhibit. The convergence of these two events prompted some former members of O-CAP to re-establish it under the new title of "'The Dinner Party' Site Project" (DPSP) in 1991. DPSP sought to secure a permanent site for the exhibit in the Cleveland area. Mickey Stern, a founder of O-CAP, became the President of DPSP in 1992. Beginning in 1993, DPSP hosted an annual International Women's Day reading of the biographies of the women represented in "The Dinner Party" as an effort to enlighten the public about the exhibit and, more generally, the marginalized histories of the women it depicted. DPSP hosted various other related events throughout its existence, including art auctions, but failed to secure permanent housing for "The Dinner Party" in Cleveland. The group disbanded in 2001. In 2002, "The Dinner Party" found a permanent home at The Brooklyn Museum in New York where it has been on permanent display since 2007 at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, budgets, bylaws, correspondence, flyers, journals, ledgers, legal documents, lists, magazine articles, minutes, mission statements, newsletters, newspaper clippings, notes, organizational documents, press releases, proposals, reports, rosters, and tax records. | | | | Call #: | MS 5079 | | | | Extent: | 1.21 linear feet (2 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Chicago, Judy, 1939- | Art, American. | Art, Modern -- 20th century. | Feminism and art. | Women in art. | Gender identity in art. | Women artists -- United States. | Women -- History. | Women -- Social conditions. | Art -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Exhibitions. | Arts -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 18 | Title: | H. Edward and Thelma Frazier Winter Papers
| | | | Creator: | Winter, H. Edward and Thelma Frazier | | | | Dates: | 1908-1976 | | | | Abstract: | The H. Edward and Thelma Frazier Winter were successful and popular artists in Cleveland, Ohio, during the period 1932-1976. Edward, whose legal name was H. Edward, was primarily an enamellist, and his wife Thelma was a ceramic sculptor. Edward studied in Vienna, Austria, and introduced many simple sifting techniques he learned there to the United States. He was the first to use enameling to make large bowls and plates of enamel on copper, and murals on copper and steel. He was associated with the Ferro Corporation in Cleveland for many years. Thelma pioneered ceramic sculpture in glaze and color in the U.S. and was also involved with Edward in creating many large enamel murals for churches and corporations. Both taught and wrote quite extensively, and their work was exhibited widely and often. Edward served as a technical illustrator for the army during World War II. The collection consists of biographical information, writings, correspondence, publications, newspaper clippings, and scrapbooks. The collection pertains to the Winters' art work during the period 1932-76, and the presence of the various writings makes it useful for understanding new methods and techniques of enamel and ceramic art introduced by them. The correspondence is useful for understanding the day-to-day activities of the operation of an arts and crafts business, as well as the personal relationship of the Winters during World War II and the lives of soldiers who remained on the home front. Also included is some material on the Moravian Church in Ohio, the Moravian Music Foundation, Eliot Ness and his alleged wife, Elizabeth Katherine Ness, a Peter family genealogy and Ferro Corporation correspondence, brochures and clippings. | | | | Call #: | MS 4503 | | | | Extent: | 6.21 linear feet (9 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Winter, Edward -- Archives. | Winter, Thelma Frazier 1903-1977 -- Archives. | Ness, Eliot, 1903-1957. | Ness, Elizabeth Katherine. | Peters family. | Ferro Corporation. | Ferro Enamel Corporation. | Moravian Church -- Ohio -- History. | Artists -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Archives. | Decorative arts -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Art, American -- 20th century -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Enamel and enameling. | Painted enamel. | Copper enameling. | Art metal-work. | Ceramic sculpture. | Art -- Study and teaching -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Art -- United States -- Marketing. | World War, 1939-1945 -- United States. | Music festivals -- United States.
