Rita Montlack

Rita Montlack, a Cleveland native, has a distinguished career as a professional artist. Her work has been shown nationally in dozens of solo exhibitions, including gallery exhibitions in New York City and Miami, as well as scores of juried group shows, in which she has received many awards and prizes, including the “Architecture Prize” at the national FAVA Biennial Photography Show 2021 and the “Jon Logan Purchase Prize” at the CAN triennial 2022. Her work is included in prominent institutional collections, such as those of Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland State University, Cuyahoga Community College, MetroHealth, Progressive Corporation, and University Hospitals. Her current work grows out of her own photographs that are subjected to various interventions on the computer. Subverting things that are familiar and creating matches that do not match are things that Rita is passionate about.
