Lake Erie Artists Gallery is a Showcase of Local Artists

Okay, I admit it. I love my job! And this time I truly mean it, because I finally am doing something I completely believe in and that is promoting local Cleveland, Ohio artists to the world at large. Whether you already know it or not, Cleveland, Ohio is full of talented artists in all media. Many of them are trained in our own Cleveland Institute of Art.

My name is Paula Atwell, and I am the owner of a unique gallery--Lake Erie Artists Gallery. Lake Erie Artists Gallery is a special place. We have a brick and mortar gallery at historic Shaker Square in Cleveland. We also have a website as well as a Zazzle store.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery's mission is to promote and sell the artwork of Ohio artists. We currently have over 80 local artists' work showcased in the gallery including painting, pottery, jewelry, photography, glass, fiber art, as well as numerous books by local authors.

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 Cleveland, Ohio or our website then you are really missing something.

Okay, it is true that I am completely biased about Lake Erie Artists 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 has a casual, comfortable atmosphere in a central location that just exudes local history. Cleveland's Shaker Square has a rich history, and is now a cultural center with great restaurants and shops. What better location for this special gallery that promotes local Cleveland, Ohio 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 surrounding suburbs.

Both visitors to our city and natives shop at Lake Erie Artists Gallery 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 Cleveland, Ohio is Fusion Studios a studio offering classes in glass fusing, stained glass, and other media.

If you are originally from Cleveland, Ohio, and have moved away, relive your memories by browsing our online store. Items can be shipped anywhere in the world via UPS or U.S. mail.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery started out. . . 

Back in the beginning. . .

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

We are now located at Shaker Square on the east side of Cleveland.

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

We have many events including individual artist art shows, benefits, and attend outside art shows.

Ohio is the Heart of the Midwest 

Cleveland has its own personality

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, which draws both physicians and patients from many countries.

Did you know for instance, that Cleveland, Ohio has one of the fastest growing medical industries in the U.S.? 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 Cleveland, Ohio and support our artists.

Paintings

PosterChildSmile says:

Art is something that is. It has a life of it's own. One never really knows what it will be, until it is formed.
Art is an extension of ones inner-self. Away of self expression...

I'm not sure where to put my answer, so I will pick 'Paintings.'

CreativeArtist says:

Art is a little bit of everything. Music is art. Writing is art. Painting is art. I love creating art through paint, and I love listening to and reading others expressions of their art.
