There is always so many people here, bumping into each other, and fighting over parking, so it is a bit overstimulating. But it is worth it as it is definitely one of the BEST places that host art festivals/fairs at least a dozen or so times a year. Support local and keep up the good work! My only suggestion is to avoid parking nearby and just walk to 78th Street Studios until they respray the parking lot lines and fill in some of the potholes...

Wow! I am so smitten with Lakewood Art Studios! How did I, lover of all things handmade, not know…read morethis was here?! I was taking a yoga class at nearby Puma Yoga when I randomly noticed Lakewood Art Studios and decided to wander in. What a pleasant, pleasant surprise. Lakewood Art Studios is an artist collective, education and event space in Lakewood. I'm spitballing from memory, but they feature maybe 30+ local artists. Think the most unique pieces of jewelry, art, greeting cards, ceramics and other odds and ends thoughtfully curated in a gallery. You constantly have things to explore and no two things are the same. For me, buying handmade local artisan goods is my weak spot. Seriously, take all my money now. They also offer a variety of classes ranging from photography to portrait drawing and a comic book club, all held in the small classrooms in the back of the shop. This is a pretty special place. I was in a bit of a rush when I visited, but I am already planning to go back out to Lakewood to specially spend more time in Lakewood Art Studios appreciating all the one-of-a-kind pieces. I'll come here to discover new artists for my collection or buy stunning, original gifts for friends!

Mike the owner of 25 years has kept this place going and does a wonderful job with teaching people to make one-of-a-kind glass projects. You can make anything from a wine Tumblr to a vase to paper weights or even a small light cover. There is paid and street parking outside. This is a great place for friends date night or if you just feel like being a little artsy farts. It was $125 per person for 2 glass pieces. If you pay in cash they give a discount. Tip not included.

Explained a bunch of things to me that I didn't know about glassmaking we spoke for a while then I realize somebody told me he was the owner. This is definitely a spot worth taking. and as far as tour prices to take part and making a glass item was extremely reasonable.

They have a lot of local artist pieces and recycled items. Their card section is a treat and full of satirical messaging. Some cards are for adult eyes only. There are so many cool gifts ideas and something for everyone. I purchased a cool mug and a silly card. If I'm in the area, I'll be back for sure!

It's a free art gallery with an eclectic collection of local artists' work. Everyone was really chill and the place had a very relaxing vibe. The lighting was a little too low and it was overall kind of dingy. Upon a closer look, it was dusty and the sparse furniture pieces were slightly sticky from residue or something. I can see this being a nice place to hang out with friends at a later setting since they host live music sometimes.

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!!

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.

The artisans they carry range from true locals to bi-coastal designers, nestled behind cases in their well-lit store. I recently purchased a pair of Cleveland Street Glass earrings that have become a fast favorite. Cleveland Street Glass creates jewelry from auto glass swept right off the streets from car break-ins. Each piece is completely unique, showing off the natural breaks and aqua hues of the shattered glass. It sounds crazy, but they are brilliant. They are up-cycled and super unique. Yes, the prices inside The W are pricey. Keep in mind, this is a high-end jewelry store. They carry all types of jewelry ranging from silver, bronze, gold, gemstones, wood, glass, diamond, etc. The gals who helped my Mom and I were really personable, and it was so cool to actually meet the designer of my earrings (she just happened to be in the store!). Overall, The W Gallery is a beautiful spot for complete one-of-a-kind jewelry! An addicting spot if you love local artisans.
