Find Local Cleveland Artists in Local Art District
When most people think of Cleveland, Ohio, they think of sports or industry, but Cleveland is also a hotbed of emerging and professional artists. With both the Cleveland Institute of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art, there is a lot of inspiration for local artists to create art districts throughout the city.
Even in the uncertain economy today, Cleveland's art districts art thriving. One such art district is the Shaker Square/Larchmere area of Cleveland, bordering Cleveland Heights, and Shaker Heights in an older area of the city. If you love local history, and visiting local shops and restaurants, this is an area of the city that you should not miss.

The Pros and Cons of Being in a Gallery
Why are some artists only found at shows?
There are lots of excellent reasons for artists to put their work in a gallery as long as the gallery fulfills their promises to the artist. However, there are always artists who will only sell their work directly. Why?Well, let's start with why a gallery? Here are the benefits that a gallery can give to an artist:
Legitimacy--If you are in a gallery, many people take you more seriously as an artist.
Year Round Consistent Exposure--A good gallery will keep your work fresh, rotate it, and market for you.
A Representative Agent--The gallery will act as your agent to proactively sell your work to the public and possibly other venues.
PR and Marketing--The gallery should routinely be doing PR and marketing to promote you and other artists in the gallery.
But here are some reasons that artists don't want to be in a gallery:
Profit on each piece is less because the artist has to give the gallery a commission (typically 30% to 60%)
The artist loses control over the sale.
The artist doesn't get to meet every customer.
The artist needs to have enough work to sell some of it in a gallery (and many are not that prolific).
Some artists just don't want to deal with galleries.
