Memorial for Preston Buchtel
January 3rd 5-8pm
at Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery
It is with great sadness that I write that Preston Buchtel, 62, passed away Wednesday, December 17th. I count myself among those who were fortunate enough to call Preston a friend, and I had the honor of representing him as an artist for more than a decade. Preston was such an amazing, bright light. He still is, and will continue to be, for all those he inspired. He was admired by so many people for his talent, intelligence, humor, wit, charm, compassion and decency. Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery will host a Memorial for Preston Buchtel, Saturday, January 3rd, 5-8pm. Details can be found on our website: https://kennethpaullesko.com/Preston-Buchtel-Memorial.htm
Kenneth Paul Lesko Gallery (78th St. Studios, 2nd Floor), 1305 W.80th St., Cleveland, OH 44102
Parking is in the rear of the building, with adjacent parking in the lot across W. 80th St., the lot at end of W. 80th St. (to the right), and limited street parking on W.78th St. and W.80th St.
There is a freight elevator in the building for those who need it, but it would have to be accessed by walking down a short flight of 6 steps. From there, we can transport those who need assistance by wheelchair or transport chair to the elevator. The elevator requires an operator from the building, so please notify us in advance (email below), if you will need assistance, and we'll make arrangements prior to your arrival.
Check back on this site for updates. Questions can sent to [email protected].
Looking forward to seeing you all there, to honor this amazing, talented man, who inspired so many.
