What is So Very Special About Lake Erie Artists Gallery? 

Great Art, Local Artists, Fun, and Food

If you haven't had a chance to visit our gallery here in historic Tower City in downtown Cleveland or online then you are really missing something. Okay, it is true that I am completely biased about this gallery, but even if I were to take 10 steps back and come to the gallery as a new person--here is what I would see:

Lake Erie Artists Gallery is a casual, comfortable atmosphere in a central downtown location that just exudes local history. Cleveland's Terminal Tower started its life as a traditional train station, and is now an office building, a center for the Rapid Transit Authority, and a shopping mall connected to two of the city's best hotels, the Renaissance and the Ritz. What better location for this special gallery that promotes local artists, authors, and musicians.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery has wonderful prints, photographs, and posters that celebrate the life and history of Cleveland, Ohio as well as numerous books about the city and its surroundings.

Both visitors to our city and natives shop here for children's art and craft gifts, pottery, recycled artwork, clothing, and beautiful and unique jewelry.
And best of all, it is all made right here in Cleveland, Ohio so anything you purchase is supporting the local economy and local artists.
Many of the artists work part-time in the gallery, so if you walk in you may get the chance to meet them face-to-face, ask them questions about their work, and take classes from them.

Located in the back of Lake Erie Artists Gallery is Fusion Studios a studio offering classes in glass fusing, stained glass, and other media.
If you used to live here in Cleveland, and have moved away, bring back some memories by browsing our online store where many of the artists' works are available for perusal and can be ordered from the web.

And don't forget that the gallery supports local charities as well including Habitat for Humanity, Cleveland Reads, and E-City.

Our next benefit, our Artist/Designer Showcase, is Thursday, October 2, 2008 from 4:30 to 8:30 pm featuring Norman Tischler on the horn and Moss Stanley at the keyboards. About 20 local artists will be here selling their work. Tickets are $10 and can be ordered by phone or online. 216-664-9920

Lake Erie Artists Gallery started out. . . 

Lake Erie Artists Gallery started out as a small cooperative of 5 local artists who banded together to save time and money while doing art shows. The name "Lake Erie Artists" was chosen because of the influence of the lake on our lives here in Cleveland. In Cleveland, Lake Erie is just "the lake". All year round, Lake Erie affects our weather, our recreation, our history, and is in sight from most of the downtown area.

Lake Erie Artists became an LLC in late 2005 after moving into an inline store in historic Tower City in downtown Cleveland.

Now we have over 80 artists' work as well as books about Cleveland, children's art kits and other interesting items made by Clevelanders.

We have many events including individual artist art shows, benefits, and attend outside art shows. We also co-sponsor a program called Friday with the Artist in Tower City.

Heart of the Midwest 

Ohio is sometimes called the heartland or the heart of the midwest.

I found that especially so when I visited Columbus, Ohio for a wholesale show recently. Ohioans are truly basic folks who love their football, and their homecooked food.

Clevelanders are a little bit different than the rest of Ohio. It is a more eclectic kind of city with a greater demographic mix, and more urban atmosphere.

In Cleveland, you can go from ethnic neighborhood to ethnic neighborhood, Little Italy to W. 25th street, where you will find little restaurants from Puerto Rican to Jamaican to Ukranian. We have lots of students from all over the world at our various universities as well as a world famous hospital, The Cleveland Clinic, so we have students from countries all over the world.

Did you know for instance, that Cleveland has one of the fastest growing medical industries in the US? I didn't until recently. So if you are in the medical profession or looking to get into it, this is the place to come.

Our art scene here is varied, and growing. Lots of interesting pockets around the city are featuring art galleries. Tremont, Downtown, Little Italy, Ohio City, and Cleveland Heights to name a few.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery represents the artistic and historical culture of Cleveland, Ohio and its surrounding areas of Canton, Akron, and Youngstown and the smaller towns in between. I hope that you will take time to visit our website and support our artists.
