Continuing our work with dedication and rigor, we are diligently curating a place-based identity to give CPR a more permanent home—a place where CPR can more deeply support its mission, vision, and values. During this transition, our programming will continue to be on display […]

Most people think of an art gallery as a room or building for the display or sale of works of art. Not artist Emily Metzger. In her eyes, an art gallery isn’t defined—or confined—by rooms or buildings. Metzger, a Tremont resident, had the vision to bring art outside to make it more approachable.

What makes an event worthy of documentary film? Of course the answer can be the story-telling as much as the subject, and the substance as much as the newsworthy moment. Where We Overlap: The Motion Picture is a documentary by Cleveland-based director Wayne Smith III, which appeared on the Local Heroes shorts program at the Cleveland International Film Festival. It’s […]

There are webs that hold history captive, connecting events to one another other and to us. Bruno Casiano’s Pieces of Me, on view until April 9th in the Residency Gallery of moCa Cleveland, spins such webs out of vibrant colors and a riot of textures.
