SPRING 2021 EVENTS

Your easy, chronological guide to exhibits and opportunities at Northeast Ohio galleries, studios, and museums coming in the next few months. More information about many of these exhibits can be found elsewhere in the pages of CAN.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, most art events planned for this spring have limited admission, and while almost all of them remain free, many require pre-registration. All in-person, indoor events require wearing facial covering.

These listings are based on announcements from each presenting organization, at press time. Depending on the course of the disease and trends in rates of infection, events may be added, cancelled, or postponed. Check the CAN Weekly e-newsletter for the most up-to-date information.
