Over 200 works of art offered at $50 a pop. Who says art is for the rich? Score your very own original masterpieces on the cheap at Pop Shop’s Fifty Dollar Show, happening one night only: Sat 1/8 from 6 – 9PM. Be sure to get there early for first dibs! Art won’t last at $50 apiece.
Have you seen the rendering for the NEW MOCA Cleveland building? I love it and can't wait to see it completed. It will give the area such an amazing new *modern* feel. What do you think of it?
Round 'em up! Lets talk about what to do around town this weekend. I am still up in the air on my plans. I do know for sure I will be spending Saturday at Battery Park's Powerhouse to support The Reckoning Place . So without further adieu I present, things happening in The Cleve:
Full Moon Rising II- Art Exhibition of Cleveland's best and brightest running all weekend at The Urban Mosaic Art House & Gallery (9800 Detroit Avenue, 3rd Floor)
Tremont Art Walk- Tonight from 6-10. Start out at Grumpy's Cafe and stomp around the neighborhood to check out the shops and all the lovely art on display.
Bodies... The Exhibition- Check out all the complexities of the body with over 200 specimens! (340 Euclid Ave.)
Browns' Sunday- Watch the Browns dominate the Bills this Sunday, anywhere on W6th.
BOOM! Here is some very exciting news that isn't sports related today (not that I'm not pumped about the Browns win) Gothamist.com reported the following last week:
One relocated artist told WKYC that in New York, "you’re losing the sense of community and working together… Cleveland is a great place for art. There’s a lot of culture and diversity here. You still get the big city feel.” It also has this charming nickname: the Mistake by the Lake.
A recent WNYC report pointed out that artists aren't just fleeing New York, but "artists fresh out of art schools around the country are choosing to live in nascent artist communities in regional cities like Detroit and Cleveland—which are dangling incentives to attract this group—and bypassing New York altogether."
What do you think about this? Do you think the Collinwood/Waterloo area is Cleveland's next up-and-coming artist community? Did you stop by Weekend on Waterloo? If so, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
Come out and Celebrate NATIVE-Cleveland’s Official Grand Opening During the WALK ALL OVER WATERLOO HOLIDAY Event! We’re going to try to OPEN the day before Thanksgiving and be open on Black Friday and then Saturday as well, but the OFFICIAL GRAND opening is December 3, 4, 5 and we’ll have special events during the weekend.
Happy Hump Day! Here is another post to get you geared up for the weekend. I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter that there is A TON of stuff to do around Cleveland this weekend.
Cue to Weekend on Waterloo- The holiday arts sale will be taking place this Fri/Sat/Sun and feature amazing work all from local artists. Its a great way to explore the Cleveland art scene or pick up some gifts for the holidays.
Could it be that Detroit Avenue is becoming the Coventry of the West? I suppose the bloggers disagree, but think about it. Take out the college campus, and got some striking similarities.
The Capitol Theatre, an independant three-screen theatre, the Cleveland Public Theatre, an Avante-garde "off-broadway" performing arts experience, and a string of retail shops line Detroit Avenue. Add to that mix Gypsy Beans & Baking Co (coffee shop and bistro), LUXE (a trendy restaurant and lounge), Stone Mad (Irish Pub), La Boca, Happy Dog, Reddstone, and more!
What about a new street-scape so people can walk into the shops like Kitsch City and Room Service? Oh... it has that coming too... See the video below.
Even if there's only one Coventry, like my bloggers on the CCL Facebook wall said, you have to admit that Detroit Avenue is really coming into it's own and developing. I'm excited... I think I'll go to LUXE tonight!
