Community Arts Center is a branch of the Cleveland Museum of Art and houses a gallery with lots of colorful, huge, exciting pieces of art created for and used during the Parade on the Circle! This gallery space is beyond inspiring which upbeat music playing and colors galore. They also have four art rooms decorated with large murals, tables, and art supplies. These rooms are set up with make-and-take art projects that are free to the community and they also offer art classes and events. This was such an amazing find and now I can't wait to bring all my friends here!

I won 2 tickets from Yelp to come to a dance show here on 9 December 2018. The show that I attended…read morewas titled INTERPLAY: An Evening of Ekphrastic Dance. This was not a Yelp event but a SPACES event. I attended on a Friday night with my friend and former roommate. SPACES is a venue located west of downtown Cleveland where works of art are displayed just as you would find in an art gallery but they also have events throughout the year. The show I attended was very different for me and my first time experiencing this type of art form. Some people may find interpretive dance strange but if you come with an open mind then you will enjoy it or at least leave experiencing something different. I will rate my experience 4.5/5. I misread the program pamphlet but I later found out that 2 different artists were performing at the same time so attendees could select who they wanted to watch. I didn't know this at first so I did miss one performance (by an artist named Robert) which is fine. The performances were actually repeated for people who showed up later to the evening (there was a 2 hour window to walk around and watch the performances). It is hard to explain this show but you can take a look at my posted videos for further details. My favourite piece was the woman who performed a movement dance detailing her feelings with the local media. She had newspapers lined up on the floor and at one point started laughing and crying to express her feelings. Many of the other dancers like her had amazing balance, core strength, and flexibility. They were all very talented in their own unique way. Here is the official dance show description - "Six local choreographers converge to create movement poetry in a vivid portrayal of modern art. View original works from diverse perspectives and watch art literally come to life." I recommend visiting SPACES on a weeknight or weekend. It is a fun environment and encourages you to open up your artistic side if you aren't normally inclined to do so. I will definitely have to come back here to explore more of the featured art on the walls. Their gallery hours during exhibitions are Tuesdays - Sundays from 12:00noon - 5:00pm, Thursdays until 8pm, and closed on Mondays. https://www.spacesgallery.org/ *** - This is my 159th Yelp review overall (updated reviews not included in this number). - I have written 113 Yelp reviews in 2018. - I'm now aiming for 200 total reviews before 2018 ends (just 41 reviews left to meet my goal....haha).

All of the dancers are clearly extremely talented. Some of dancers core strength was amazing. My personal favorite dancer was Robert. His performance was simply beautiful.

Wow! I am so smitten with Lakewood Art Studios! How did I, lover of all things handmade, not know…read morethis was here?! I was taking a yoga class at nearby Puma Yoga when I randomly noticed Lakewood Art Studios and decided to wander in. What a pleasant, pleasant surprise. Lakewood Art Studios is an artist collective, education and event space in Lakewood. I'm spitballing from memory, but they feature maybe 30+ local artists. Think the most unique pieces of jewelry, art, greeting cards, ceramics and other odds and ends thoughtfully curated in a gallery. You constantly have things to explore and no two things are the same. For me, buying handmade local artisan goods is my weak spot. Seriously, take all my money now. They also offer a variety of classes ranging from photography to portrait drawing and a comic book club, all held in the small classrooms in the back of the shop. This is a pretty special place. I was in a bit of a rush when I visited, but I am already planning to go back out to Lakewood to specially spend more time in Lakewood Art Studios appreciating all the one-of-a-kind pieces. I'll come here to discover new artists for my collection or buy stunning, original gifts for friends!

Unlike its competitors; BAYArts showcased everything from sculpture to paintings, photography and ceramics. 98% of the time, most exhibits only offer photos or paintings so it was nice to see some alternative inspiration. However, maybe it was our mistake for going on opening night; my father had two pieces accepted so...but there were so many people that you couldn't appreciate the pieces as being able to see them was very challenging! In fact, I had to do a number of laps; only noticing pieces because I was forced into the same tiny corner as they were. But aside from being shoulder to shoulder, there was also a nice spread of wine & hors d' oeuvre. Unfortunately, the upstairs is closed off to the public yet there is an outdoor bar area on the wrap around porch. The items on display were fairly priced, well lit and (if you could see them) stunning! Although this is not a place I would recommend bringing younger children and it might be difficult if you use a walker (no where to sit & rest) or a wheelchair it is worth the visit if you are able to explore on a less busy night.

We were invited to an art show last night by a dear friend who is an excellent artist; in several mediums. We arrived and entered to find the establishment was SO much more than I ever dreamed. There are a multitude of local artists displaying their work as well as teaching classes. The various studios were extraordinary. So many different mediums, so many forms, so many interpretations... it was inspiring. There were so many works I wanted to take home I could have filled my car; but then where would my wife have sat? So I resigned myself to enjoying the beauty of it all in the moment. And commiting to return often. If you enjoy the experience of creativity and the amazement of people's talents, you should definitely make a trip to "Stella's Art Gallery". Enjoy to your heart's content.

Just make sure to plan your timing because they close at 5 PM. The staff throughout the museum were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.
