Bio
Hilary Gent is a Cleveland artist who works with oil and latex mediums inspired by the urban and
natural landscape. Gent earned her BFA from Kent State University in 2003. Her paintings are
included in public collections such as The Cleveland Clinic, Summa Hospitals, Sherwin
Williams, cARTa and Hilton Hotels Corporation, and numerous private collections.
Gent has spent the last fourteen years staging public art exhibits, launching art walks, and
planning elaborate receptions for individuals and organizations, all of which have transformed
the way residents and visitors view the Northeast Ohio Region. She was one of the first
visionaries to plant roots at 78th Street Studios, where she curates unforgettable art events
through her HEDGE Gallery, which now represents 20 regional artists.
Hilary actively served on the board of SPACES Gallery and volunteered with the Detroit
Shoreway Community Development Association and ARTneo, the Museum for Northeast Ohio
Art. She currently serves on the board of The Print Club of Cleveland. She has earned awards
and grants for her efforts to collaborate with nearby agencies, resulting in programming that has
stimulated the entire Gordon Square Arts District. In economic development terms, Hilary’s
motivation to present that arts as a vehicle for elevating a neighborhood has provided urban
planners with prime elements upon which to build larger community plans.
