Author: SPACES

SPACES is a presenting contemporary art venue dedicated to artists who explore and experiment. Commissioned work is displayed in our galleries or at off-site locations. Located on the west side of downtown Cleveland, SPACES currently operates three programs to feature newly created work by our curated artists: R&D (Research & Development), SWAP (SPACES World Artists Program), and The Vault. The R&D program invites artists, curators and other cultural producers to articulate their "research and development" of ideas and objects through a supported project that may take the form of group, solo, or collaborative endeavors. The SPACES World Artists Program (SWAP) is a residency program for international, U.S. and local artists, founded in 2002 to foster cultural exchange between audiences in Northeast Ohio and artists from around the world. SWAP residencies are intensive opportunities for experimental artists to produce and present new work. SWAP supports artists-in-residence in the creation, presentation and discussion of new work, while facilitating opportunities for them to collaborate with area artists and audiences. The Vault features guest-curated contemporary video and audio art selections. All exhibitions and audience programs are FREE and open to the public.
