Mission
ART NEO WAS FOUNDED IN 1984 BY CLEVELAND BASED ARTISTS, PATRONS, AND COLLECTORS WHO RECOGNIZED THE NEED TO ESTABLISH AN ORGANIZATION THAT WOULD PRESERVE, RESEARCH, COLLECT, AND EXHIBIT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT VISUAL ART OF THE NORTHEAST REGION. ART NEO HAS BECOME THE PREMIER CENTER FOR THE ART OF NORTHEAST OHIO, OWING BOTH TO ITS SIGNIFICANT COLLECTING INITIATIVE, AND TO ITS COMMITMENT TO CREATIVE EXHIBITION PLANNING AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH. CENTRAL TO ART NEO'S COMMITMENT TO EMBRACING THE RANGE OF ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE IN THIS REGION IS ITS PRIORITY OF CONCEIVING STIMULATING EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMING, AND SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS.
