SPACES in Cleveland

Last Friday night when I was passing through Ohio, I stopped in Cleveland for an opening at the venerable non-profit, alternative art space in Cleveland called SPACES. This is how they are described: "non-profit, artist-run, alternative space gallery that has given over 6000 artists an arena in which to present challenging new ideas."

So let's take a look:

took this one for Brece, it's by artist Joan Waltemath, who is the subject of Sharon Butler's blog Two Coats of Paint today!!! Read and enjoy: http://www.twocoatsofpaint.com/2011/09/studio-visit-exchange-with-joan.html

Russell Maltz (New York, NY) Aqua Shift, 2002 Paint on Plywood

In the Vault a leftover from the previous tentant and a recent brainstorm from the new director, they showcase videos!

The gallery is so well organized with exhibition lists and names and detailed delineations!

For snacks they have a local food truck join the opening! They just think of everything in Cleveland!

Good night Cleveland!
