These days, “Creative Placemaking” is the terminology used to explain or describe the evolving field hat intentionally leverages the power of the arts, culture and creativity to serve a community’s interest while driving a broader agenda for change, growth and transformation in a way that also builds character and quality of place.

Artists or the arts culture have been the catalyst of the gentrification process since the beginning of civilization. Today we base redevelopment plans upon it, just look at many of the Cleveland neighborhoods economic strategies implemented to help their communities. All dependent upon the arts or enticement of the artists to come live or work there. The next level is a for profit business to build on this idea, create an actual process, document it and analyze the data as any other business producing products would do. As an artist, I feel it my intrinsic responsibility to open a gallery here, where we were priced out after we gentrified it. A return to where our local arts forefathers had to leave, and hopefully put an end to this cycle of migration by ensconcing ourselves within the very economy of it.

Our vision is to harness this activity as businessmen and creatively improve upon it. As an artist, it’s what we do.
