Welcome to Encore 55+ Learning at Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®).

For more than 40 years, Tri-C has been a premier provider of education to individuals 55 and older. The program continues to thrive due to our community’s desire for high-quality and affordable lifelong learning opportunities.

Last fall, more than 700 individuals participated in the Encore Campus Fridays program at our Eastern and Western campuses, and Neighborhood Scholars programming saw its highest enrollment to date.

We are fortunate to have a dedicated staff working behind the scenes to make your experience a positive one. Site facilitators are also available to answer your questions while on campus.

Our dedication to lifelong learning continues to expand as we bring Encore Campus Fridays to the Westshore Campus in Westlake this fall.

For more information, please visit tri-c.edu/encore or call 216-987-2274 to speak with an Encore team member.

Liu Wei | $20 Megan Lykins Reich, Deputy Director

Liu Wei is one of China’s most well-known contemporary artists, but like many of his contemporaries, his work has not been thoroughly contextualized for Western audiences.

As part of a generation of artists whose careers emerged during a period of rapidly accelerating urbanization, Liu Wei’s work explores the rigidly controlled social and political contradictions of modern Chinese society. Working with a range of diverse media, including photography, painting, sculpture and installation, Liu Wei is known for crystallizing the visual and intellectual chaos of China’s myriad transformations. He frequently uses geometric and architectural forms in his work as a reference to his urban surroundings.

This exhibit presents an unprecedented opportunity for museum visitors to experience the brilliance of Michelangelo's achievements on an intimate scale through more than two dozen original drawings.

These drawings demonstrate Michelangelo's inventive preparations for his most important and groundbreaking commissions, including the Sistine Chapel, sculptures for the tomb of Giuliano de' Medici, and the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica. A second and complementary exhibition drawn from the museum’s collection will be "Master/Apprentice: Imitation and Inspiration in the Renaissance."
