One of the notable initiatives by this organization is Walk All Over Waterloo. It's a monthly initiative that draws a crowd to the neighborhood to explore local arts, eats, and shopping. I attended many Walk All Over Waterloo night, but stopped at the Waterloo Arts for the first time. I enjoyed my time! ARTS: Waterloo Arts is currently hosting Holiday Co-Op featuring local artists. This Co-Op will be running until December 21, 2025. The shopping is open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, 12-7 PM. It's a perfect place to shop for the holidays. You'll find ceramics, art, driftwood decor, jewelry, eco dyed fabrics, and a lot more. You'll be able to find very unique gifts unique just like the neighborhood at different price ranges. Definitely do someone of your holiday shopping here. The space also hosts various workshops and events, check their website. BAR: Seasonally there is a bar open occupying the second room of the space. It's very nice considering it's not even a full time hospitality space. Cute table, lots of space, art, and greenery. It was cozy and inviting. The holiday menu was limited but very good. I ordered a mulled wine ($10) and was very pleased with the drink. It was perfectly spiced with orange and hearty spices. It's exactly how I make it, I like to over spice. It was also very hot, which was a huge plus! I wish this mulled wine was a constant option, I'd come here just for it! SERVICE: The service was extremely friendly at the bar and so were the patrons. The bartender asked for my name and had a very pleasant conversation with me. It was evidence that everyone who works at this non-profit is very committed to its mission and are ambassadors of the neighborhood. I was very pleased with the hospitality. I plan to research when the little bar is open, so I can stop by more and support the mission. I love the inviting vibes and mulled wine! It's a must visit to shop your gift list and pause for snacks, drinks. Add Waterloo Arts to your holiday market stop!

First came here in January 2023 for the 10th annual DayGloSho at Waterloo Arts…read more It was a great event and the space was engaging and you can just feel the positivity from the people who own it and the artists who display their art at this location. They shared updates on a lot of the creative businesses in the area, served local pizza and beer from Citizens Pie, Great Lakes and other local places. They had a speaker that works at DayGlo (RPM) and were very engaging with our YP Arts Group, Column & Stripe. Couldn't recommend this place more or the Waterloo Arts district. Truly a Cleveland gem and a positive way for a resurgence of a Cleveland Neighborhood.

I saw advertisements for Artist at Heart Paint Party online and quickly dismissed them! I am NO…read moreartist. Why would I even try something like that?? Boy was I wrong!! I was thumbing through a magazine and saw a painting hanging in a fancy house and I fell in love!! Way out of my budget probably. So I thought to myself, how hard can that be to make myself? It's an abstract, maybe I can figure it out. Still I was frozen in self doubt! Then I remembered that advertisement I saw online and contacted the artist offering the classes. Denyse was kind, helpful and insightful. She gave me suggestions, directed me to videos of her classes that would help me and even followed up!! So much encouragement, I feel like I can do it. I can go back and rewatch the videos and send questions via email if I need to. Her online classes are interactive, too! All this from the comfort of home! Thanks so much Denyse for helping me find my inner artist!

This art museum is absolutely beautiful and definitely worth visiting. General admission is free…read morebut has $14 parking. The building itself is stunning, with great architecture and tons of natural light that makes walking through the galleries feel really open and peaceful. They have works from Monet and other well known artists, which was really exciting to see in person. There's a lot to explore, so I'd recommend setting aside a few hours to really take it all in. Just make sure to plan your timing because they close at 5 PM. The staff throughout the museum were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There's also a large gift shop with lots of unique items and a cafe inside the museum, which is nice if you want to take a break during your visit.

At these events food alcohol nonalcoholic beverages are served. I say this because most responsible people call Ubers/Rides to pick them up safely, well when the event was over at 10 people picked up there things at coat check and proceeded to the vestibule to wait on their rides and Ubers. This was around 10-10:30 pm and the police that were hired at event forced everyone to stand outside. Keep in mind it was about 6 degrees in Cleveland. I understand the event was over and they had to close but grace should've been given considering the weather. Although the event was nice maybe you shouldn't attend in the winter because they'll put you out.

We explained how my friend was showing me around and even asked if we should leave as he was kind of rude and it was very odd but he just nodded at us and said to keep going. We ended up leaving anyways due to feeling awkward and a bit upset. It was just a weird experience considering my friend took classes there and other friends of mine who have taken classes/not taken them at CIA have went in to look at the art/building inside. Not really sure what was up with that but am a bit put off on seeing art there now unfortunately.
