A space for emerging & established artists
Located inside 78th Street Studios in the Gordon Square Arts District, EP Studio is a mixed-use gallery space on the lower RAMP level, offering over 20 feet of wall space for a three-month artist residency. We welcome both emerging and established artists looking for a professional, accessible setting to share their work.
Exhibitions are timed to align with 78th Street Studios’ THIRD FRIDAY Art Walks, placing your work in front of a steady flow of visitors from across Northeast Ohio and beyond.
EP Studio is operated by Extraordinaire Photos, founded by Aireonna and Julian Dubé. Aireonna’s background in gallery management informs a thoughtful, artist-centered approach, while Julian brings extensive experience working within the arts, supporting exhibitions, installations, and creative production. Together, they’ve created a space designed to support artists while fostering genuine connection with the community.
With each THIRD FRIDAY, the building comes alive with energy—drawing a curious, engaged audience. Exhibiting at EP Studio means becoming part of that rhythm and contributing to one of the region’s most active creative environments.

This fall, EP Studio presents Am I Okay?, a solo exhibition by Cleveland-based designer Michelle Trogdon. Drawing from her background in fine art, graphic design, and years in Charlotte’s maker community, Trogdon transforms lived experience into tactile, sculptural forms that blur the line between object and personal narrative. Trogdon is also a recipient of the Boost Art Fund from Assembly for the Arts.
Unfolding in three movements—Burn It Down, The Transformation, and Renewal—the exhibition traces a journey through rupture, reflection, rebuilding, and renewal. Inspired by Lotería imagery, mineral structures, and natural landscapes, Trogdon’s work explores emotional weight, resilience, self-reliance, and the ongoing process of becoming.
Upcoming Exhibitions
Cory Overbeck
Cory Overbeck is a digital artist based in Lakewood, Ohio, whose work merges photography with imagination to create surreal explorations of color, texture, and light. A graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in Media Arts and Technology, he brings a deep understanding of visual composition and advanced image-editing techniques to his intricate, multi-layered creations.
Working primarily in Photoshop, Overbeck layers original photographs, digitized family archives, and an expansive library of textures and patterns. Through richly detailed layering techniques, he builds immersive compositions that weave these elements into unified, otherworldly environments. His work moves beyond realism, inviting viewers into spaces where imagination and nature converge.
Gregory Johnson
Emerging from Brook Park just outside Cleveland, Gregory Alan Johnson’s artistic journey is rooted in instinct, perseverance, and a lifelong devotion to mark-making. What began as childhood doodles on discarded forms evolved into a distinctive visual language defined by the bold precision of felt-tip pen. After studying at the Cooper School of Art, Johnson developed a signature style rich in color, rhythm, and intricate detail. Now, following years of quiet dedication and a later-life resurgence, his work has gained momentum through exhibitions with the Ohio Art League and galleries across the state. This upcoming exhibit offers an intimate look into his vividly constructed world—inviting viewers to experience the work of an artist whose practice proves it’s never too late to fully step into one’s creative voice.
