Stewart's Caring Place

Stewart’s Caring Place provides free cancer support services for individuals and families. Art x Love was engaged to develop the Art Plan for Stewart’s new Cancer Wellness Center in Fairlawn, Ohio. We developed a menu of local artists for consideration, then commissioned and oversaw development and installation of the select artist’s work.

Stewart’s Caring Place radiates with a healthy spirit of creativity, compassion, and community. Art x Love commissioned and purchased artwork by Kimmy Henderson and Leah Rzepka, and produced signature holographic paintings throughout the space, including the custom-designed donor wall.

We are delighted to support Stewart’s Caring Place, and look forward to developing more opportunities to encourage and inspire healing and communication through the arts. That work continues today with our management and curation of the Stewart’s Healing Arts Gallery, showcasing local artist’s work with 100% of the proceeds from art sales going to the artists.

DriveIT

In 2018, Mac Love was commissioned by Ian Schwarber to paint a signature work of art for DriveIT’s new headquarters in Akron, which would serve as a tech-centric adult learning center. With one week to produce a piece for the primary reception area, Mac created a holographic painting on chalkboard, combining DriveIT’s logo with themes of learning, growth, discovery, and a bird taking flight.

In 2019, Ian Patrick Schwarber moved on to the next life. The Ian Patrick Schwarber Foundation is a 501c3 that was created to honor and continue his legacy of “Making a better tomorrow by empowering those who want to make change today.”
