Brown and Orange #5TweetUp!​

GV Art + Design in Lakewood was the place to be on September 4th!

Everyone shared in the excitement and anticipation of the Cleveland Browns’ (ClevelandBrowns.com - @Browns) opening game of the 2013-14 season at the “Brown and Orange TweetUp” sponsored by NewsChannel 5 (Newsnet5.com - @WEWS) and GV Art + Design (GVartwork.com - @GVartwork). As we walked in the door, we received a T-shirt to show off our Cleveland pride! The GV Art + Design store was filled with apparel and more, featuring artwork and slogans promoting our great city.

Nearly 100 people stopped in to GV Art + Design in Lakewood
to meet and greet with fellow Browns fans and check out
the shop's latest Browns apparel before the Browns Sunday home opener.

One of the highlights of our visit to GV Art + Design was seeing the “Etch-A-Sketch” art of world-renowned artist George Vlosich III. His one-of-a-kind creations featuring athletes, celebrities, and landmarks are simply breathtaking! His amazing artwork not only decorates the walls of the store, but is also featured in prints and on apparel, greeting cards, magnets, and more. We had the pleasure of meeting and talking to Mr. Vlosich about his unique work.
