Famous artists' works make visit to Ashtabula County

ASHTABULA — Art from three of the most well-known artists in the world made a trip to Riverbend Hotel Saturday evening.

A small group of area residents were treated to a curated show of artwork by Salvador Dali, Rembrandt van Rijn and Mark Chagall.

The event was an invitation-only curated arts exhibition coordinated by Todd Canter, co-owner of Riverbend Hotel and president of Vulcan Real Estate Development.

“This wasn’t about displaying art, it was about creating a conversation,” he said. “When you bring works like these together, the begin to tell a much larger story about the forces that shape society. What’s remarkable is that these artists, across centuries, are still speaking into the questions we wrestle with today.”
