Looking for musicians for downtown Cleveland video
I’m in the process of editing a video about living in downtown Cleveland that Ellen Evans, Julie Iselin and myself put together. The video needs some background music and I thought about just finding something online, but since it’s about Cleveland, I thought I’d try and find a Cleveland band that would be willing to let [...]
Storefront Window Displays Artwalk?
As an expanded idea for doing the makeovers on the downtown windows, myself and a few other participants thought it would be a nice idea–once we have enough completed windows, to turn it into a unique kind of art walk in itself with a little card map plotting out the various locations. Such can encourage [...]

Storefront Window Display Makovers
In an earlier blog, I wrote about creating better atmosphere with the empty downtown storefront scene with art. Well, currently, I would like to announce that there are several spots already finished and more in the works!
