Art Collector and Go-Big Developer Hopes to Turn Warehouse District into a Cultural Hub

For nearly thirty years, the five-story George Worthington building—a T-shaped red-brick structure hidden behind the St. Clair Avenue and West 6th Street strip—sat inactive. From the 1980s though the millennium, office buildings were sparsely populated, or housed low-income artists as illegal squatters (the Bradley Building being one of them). A few art galleries came and went. The district was SPACES’s […]

Brittany M. Hudak

Coventry Peace Campus beefs up with proposal for millennial housing

Carlo Wolff

One year ago, Artful Cleveland was charging ahead with a plan to create an artist hive in Cleveland Heights, akin to 78th Street Studios in Detroit Shoreway, or the Screw Factory in Lakewood. Founders had recognized that while Cleveland Heights has the highest concentration of artists in all disciplines in the region, it didn’t have the kind of destination that […]

LOST AND FOUND Lauren Yeager / Cleveland

Michael Gill

Lauren Yeager’s studio on the fourth floor of a near-east-side warehouse is filled with the dry humor of accumulated cast-off products, mostly made of plastic. You wouldn’t call any of it beautiful, at least not to look at, not in any conventional sense. There are five-gallon paint buckets brimming with drips and smears, mostly white and neutral. There are balls […]

This Glorious Urban Circus: Michael Oatman / Cleveland

Anastasia Pantsios

Cleveland’s FRONT triennial is primarily a visual arts event. But its choice of playwright Michael Oatman as one of its initial six Cleveland artists through the Cleveland Foundation’s Creative Fusion program signals a broader agenda. The selection of Oatman also indicates an attempt to reach out to parts of the urban area often overlooked for trendier and more affluent environs. […]

Site Specific Narrative: Johnny Coleman

Michael Gill

JULIE PATTON, UNBOUND Julie Patton / Cleveland

Jeff Hagan

It’s not just that Creative Fusion Madison Resident Julie Patton is an open book—she’s several open books, pages fanning, fluttering, in motion. She is a pop-up book, 3-D and surprising; a matchbook, with all its spark and flame and heat and light and char and singe; a how-to; a cookbook; a book of poems; a world atlas, drawing from the […]

GOLDEN BOY Dale Goode tackles urban issues in sculptures with a special glint

Carlo Wolff

The wall reliefs Dale Anthony Goode turns out might well serve as altar pieces in Jimi Hendrix’s electric church. Fashioned from the detritus of his Hough neighborhood, they also evoke shrouds, embedding random urban cast-offs in large works that seem to want to break free. One of six Cleveland artists to be showcased in next year’s FRONT International Cleveland Triennial […]
