Wow, this place is incredible! After driving past one day, it peaked my curiosity and I'm so glad…read morethat it did. Community Arts Center is a branch of the Cleveland Museum of Art and houses a gallery with lots of colorful, huge, exciting pieces of art created for and used during the Parade on the Circle! This gallery space is beyond inspiring which upbeat music playing and colors galore. They also have four art rooms decorated with large murals, tables, and art supplies. These rooms are set up with make-and-take art projects that are free to the community and they also offer art classes and events. This was such an amazing find and now I can't wait to bring all my friends here!

Popped in xmas eve just for nostalgia's sake. I wasn't really in the market for any more ornaments…read more Not really anything new in there, but i did notice some things i left out of the first review. There is a display of figures that were from the old Halle's department store. And they had ornaments that Mr. Hixson had created for the White House. He was there that day, incidentally. I bought a shiny banana ornament, because pretty much every other ornament was golf, nautical or parrot themed. I'm not really into any of those. One thing i thought of was to describe the place as "Hoarders"-ish, then i read my old review and discovered i already had. There were lots of customers that day, and some were buying candied fruit slices out of the front case. Eeps. I'm not even sure those were intentionally candied, or if the ravages of time had petrified them. I' d rather eat my glass banana ornament just to be on the safe side.

Maybe Cleveland's Theatre district needs a new name! Obviously there are the performing arts at…read morePlayhouse Square, but as of late I've noticed more visual art popping up around. There is of course this gallery, but there is also the Galleries at CSU at the other end of the next block. Anyways.... This was a cool spot. I first wandered in as I was taking a walk around downtown. I didn't realize the place was between shows and not really open. I wandered in the first set of doors and yanked at the second only to realize I would have to be buzzed in. A lady quickly noticed me. At this point I had gotten a better look inside and saw it didn't look quite ready for visitors; I was expecting her to turn me away. But she was very nice, let me in, gave me some flyers on upcoming events and invited me to walk around and even go downstairs to where a second gallery was being set up. She kept saying she was sure I would like it better if I came back for their opening reception night, but I actually liked it at this visit. There were some things you couldn't get a good look at because they weren't set up yet, but it was cool to see the place in a state of transition. Not often does the average person get to see a gallery with paintings on the floor, some wrapped up still, others leaned upon others. Such a presentation could be a whole contemporary art exhibit of its own...but I digress. I did return after the opening night and was even more impressed. My only negative comment would be the lighting. I think it was just too full force and not really needed to the extent it was used. However I liked all the art - there's even some in the workers' offices on the first floor. All of it is for sale - $750.00 to $10,000.00. Free admission. This is more than just a gallery. They service paintings in what looks to be a sizeable backroom. You can come here for restoration or framing needs.

A part of Cleveland State University, you can easily see the window display from Euclid Avenue, but don't be deceived. While the doors look locked, you can absolutely enter. This gallery simply shares a door with other businesses located in their building. If it's locked, feel free to buzz, and one of the friendly gallery assistants will let you in. The Galleries consistently hosts some of the most innovative and internationally recognized artists. If anything, you must, at a minimum, stop by for the annual People's Art Show. The People's Art Show is a free, unjuried, uncensored exhibition celebrating creativity, diversity, and imagination. Any artist can contribute, and any person can purchase a piece of artwork directly off the wall. The amount of ingenuity, perspective and originality that sprawls from this exhibit is utterly fascinating. Regardless of the exhibition, you can spend a solid 1-2 hours exploring through this robust gallery. Once you enter, it's surprising how much quality art there is to absorb. The gallery starts in one open room, weaves through a narrow hallway, and expansively opens into another high-ceiling showroom. Take the time to wander, ask questions, and soak in the talent represented in this gallery!

The Harris Stanton Gallery is a lovely fine art gallery in downtown Cleveland. Situated in the…read moreWarehouse District, I've always found its location delightfully unexpected. Situated in a heavy bar and dining area, it brings elegance into the neighborhood. You can visit their exhibits in-person and also shop online to view their available prints, wearable art and pottery. They have a huge commitment to local fine art, showcasing women artists and artists of color. Diversity matters here and it's so clear in their expansive pieces. As an aspiring collector, I've attended a few events with the Column & Stripe group where we've learned from their awesome staff about building a collection, including making smart art investments. The Harris Stanton is a special Cleveland gallery. I hear they are looking to sell this location, which is sad, because I think they are lovely in every way! They also offer Gallery Services like acquiring, installing, commissioning or appraising your collection. One day when I'm rolling in the dough, I will 200% trust Harris Stanton to curate my collection for me!!
