PENINSULA, Ohio, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) is pleased to announce an innovative new partnership with Arts Organization in Residence Museum of Creative Human Art (MOCHA). Through this new partnership, MOCHA will curate exhibitions in The Gallery as well as provide arts programming and support integration of the arts into the visitor experience throughout 2024. The residency is funded through the Conservancy for CVNP's Arts in the Park initiative, which is generously supported by the Ohio Arts Council, The Lehner Family Foundation, Akron Community Foundation through the Community Wish Book initiative, Sally and Larry Sears, as well as Richard and Jean Hoffman.

The first new art exhibition curated by MOCHA is Cosmic Glow, featuring the work of five Northeast Ohio artists. The exhibition opens March 30, 2024, and is inspired by the transformative potential of the upcoming total solar eclipse.

"The artists in this exhibition truly demonstrate how color, material and composition all impact our perception," said MOCHA leadership Antwoine Washington and Michael Russell II. "Through this grouping of artwork, we can closely observe the individual elements of the eclipse to better understand it, deconstructing it into sun, moon, light, and shadow. We hope you will stop by The Gallery to experience Cosmic Glow."
