"The two finest schools in the country for photography were Ohio University and R.I.T., in Rochester, which was funded by Kodak. And I got to go to one of them!" O.U. balanced the technical and the art portions of photography and he was able to meet many famous photographers including Ansel Adams (naturalist photographer), Yousef Karsh (portrait photographer) and Minor White (from M.I.T.)
carta owns a large collection of artwork by Cleveland area artists, both for adults and children, and purchases about $25,000 of new art annually. We further our mission by donating annual scholarships to Cleveland Institute of Art students and provide educational activities to enhance awareness of area artists.
