About the exhibition

Cliff Eyland (1954-2020) was many things to many people: he was an artist, curator, teacher, mentor, collaborator, co-conspirator, husband, and friend. At the School of Art, he made an indelible mark as the Director and Curator of Gallery One One One (now the School of Art Gallery). He inspired students and Gallery visitors alike with his charming, friendly nature. With candor, wit, and warmth, he highlighted the talents of Prairie and international artists alike.

Cliff, well known for his prolific production of paintings in a signature 3” x 5” format, and loved gathering with friends to make and talk about art. It seemed fitting to invite his friends, colleagues, and students, and community members alike to come together to share food, drink, stories and memories of Cliff while creating paintings with the art supplies he left behind.

Block Party is a loving tribute to Cliff Eyland’s memorable legacy. A warm thank you to everyone who contributed work to the exhibit.
