THE SABERTOOTH GIRLS
Marissa McClellan &
Elisa Gargarella,
Co-Founders
Co-Painters
Elisa & Marissa bring over 25 years of combined work in public art making, education, creative programming and community building to the greatest endeavor ever undertaken by two people!
Sabertooth Public Art is a women-owned creative placemaking business dedicated to creating, educating, advocating for and curating public art. Located in Akron, Ohio, Sabertooth takes great pride in activating spaces, elevating accessibility to the arts and culture sectors of our region, and sharing our craft with others.
They like to work in environments where they can directly impact positive change and collaborate with others on a united mission to better serve their community through arts and culture initiatives. They are the kinds of creative leaders who employ humor, integrity, empathy, strong listening skills, and their many creative capacities to help coordinate and sustain great ideas.
