As with any artwork, Hill's work has an interesting background and story he's happy to tell in an easygoing, no pressure way. Ranging from abstract landscapes to future realistic cityscapes, the art is printed on a variety of surfaces all juxtaposed by rustic framing. The effect is appealing and represent a terrific bargain, given the quality. Bonus: Gregg will pack and ship.

The Ukrainian Museum in the historic Ukrainian Village of Cleveland bares testimony to the strong…read moreinfluence of the Ukrainian diaspora in Cleveland and the United States. Significant museum holdings document the life and development of Ukrainian immigrants and their contributions to America, as well as ongoing worldwide developments in the present day. Of particular interest to many will be the extensive catalog collection of Ukrainian Pysanky eggs, which are categorized by region of Ukraine. Each region having distinctive decorative differentiations that relate to local customs, traditions, familial and belief structures. Housed in a separate building to the rear of the main museum, which is a house, is a meeting facility where lectures and presentations are frequently given. Ukrainian community meetings are also held here. This building houses collections of Ukrainian artwork, and an extensive historic library of books by Ukrainian authors, historic Ukrainian language, newspapers, and other publications from both Ukraine and United States. In a slow but steady manner, this collection is in the midst of a digitization process. The holdings are extensive, and so I would expect that this will take a significant amount of time and resource to accomplish. A gift shop is operated which contains a variety of cultural items, pysanky egg making supplies, books, and literature, jewelry, and clothing. There is a large historic park just across the street from the museum. Many historic buildings are in the neighborhood and it is worth some time to drive or walk around to have a look at them. This will give visitors a great feel for what being a member of the Ukrainian community has been like historically.

I have lived in Cleveland for 5 years now and have gone to the Lakewood Art Festival 4 out of those…read more5 years! It's one of my favorite art festivals and I look forward to it each year! This year, 2025, I brought my boyfriend with me and while he didn't buy any art, we did eat a vegan sandwich from Squash the Beef (service was a 0/10 but food was a 7/10) and I bought a tank top from a booth that sold Cleveland clothing. In the past years, I have definitely bought a lot more, including lawn art and gifts for friends and family, but maybe this was the year where I just wasn't woo-ed by anything in particular. I also have been trying to buy less and save more money, but still like supporting local artisans. If I could give a suggestion, I'd recommend providing maps/brochures at the ENDS of the festival and not just the middle. We started at the end and would have benefited from a map early on, especially since I didn't remember that they normally have food options sprinkled throughout the path of the fair and not just the half dozen trucks at the right edge of the fair, like I thought. We would have liked eating at somewhere other than squash the beef if we had known... Also, please invite more stationery artists! One of my favorites is Haley Morgenstern :)

A fun yearly festival to attend in Lakewood. It is held annually in downtown Lakewood along Detroit…read moreAvenue. Lots of culture presented with the addition of a Native American food truck from Columbus, Ohio. I attended the 47th Annual Lakewood Arts Festival which was held on Saturday, 3 August 2024 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. I previously attended this festival either in 2023 or in 2022. I had fun with my friend Mallory during the 2024 festival. We walked around for over an hour looking at all the amazing vendors with some coming as far as Columbus. I did not purchase any art but I saw very nice items such as photo frames, cute mugs, watches, leather bags, belts, etc. FOOD -- There were about 6 food trucks that sold all sorts of lunch items and drinks. I was so happy to try food from Naicco Cuisine which I heard is Ohio's first Native American food truck business. NAICCO stands for the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio. The food truck came from Columbus to be in attendance at the Lakewood Arts festival. The owner, Ty, who I met, is from a tribe in Oregon but moved to Ohio in the 1990's with his family. NAICCO is known for their fry bread which is topped with either butter or with wojapi, a Native American berry sauce. I ordered the NDN Taco Bowl ($12) which is ground beef and tomatoes in a bowl (I got mine without onions and without cheese) plus plain fry bread on the side. This was my first time having fry bread and it is so delicious. It is super soft and slightly sweet. The taco bowl tasted good just similar to any other ground beef bowl. I can't wait to order this fry bread again by visiting Columbus and locating the food truck's next destination (link - https://streetfoodfinder.com/NAICCO1975). SAFETY -- The Lakewood Police is stationed at the entrance of the festival and police officers patrol the area during the festival. This festival is a fun and family-friendly one that I recommend to Cleveland locals and visitors. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 82/150 total reviews in 2024 - 732 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 9 August 2024
