Courtesy the artist Jan 27-Jun 11, 2023 Amber N. Ford Someone, Somewhere, Something Best known for photography, artist Amber N. Ford delves into the medium of sound as a tool to share intimate stories of grief. During her Winter/Spring 2022 residency at moCa, Ford used moCa’s space as a site to collect responses from audiences about their experiences of loss and trauma. Someone, Somewhere, Something applies this content in a new audio work presented in various unconventional sites throughout the museum to create poignant sound collages that make space for mourning while also supporting catharsis and healing. Lead support for Amber N. Ford: Someone, Somewhere, Something is provided by Margaret Cohen & Kevin Rahilly. Additional support provided by The Callahan Foundation. About the Artist Amber N.

June 18, 2026 In Response w/ Art Therapy Studio SIGN UP at moCa Cleveland Free with registration In Response invites you to engage contemporary art as a starting point for mindfulness, reflection, and meaningful connection at moCa Cleveland. Facilitated by Art Therapy Studio, each session begins with guided time in the galleries, where participants closely observe select works from the exhibitions on view and engage in thoughtful group discussion. Grounded in slowing down and intentional observation, the experience creates space for presence, curiosity, and shared insight. Following the gallery engagement, participants transition into an accessible, hands-on art-making experience focused on process rather than perfection, encouraging creative response, emotional awareness, and self-expression. Offered on the third Thursday of each month until July 2026, the series is designed to be welcoming to both first-time and returning participants, with a consistent structure that fosters ease and belonging. No prior art experience is needed; come as you are, and respond in your own way.
