What a super cool organization to learn about right in your backyard!  This is a non-profit organization that works to beautify and improve public spaces throughout the Cleveland area.  Let's hear it for Cleveland's dedication to the arts again!!  This unique organization provides all kinds of services to the community including neighborhood revitalization and planning, community outreach and education, civic projects, and consulting and partnerships. 

How vital is an organization like this?  Extremely vital to a large city that has suffered through hard economic times and loss of huge manufacturing centers of employment.  However, it is not enough to recreate a city by increasing employment opportunities; it also takes creativity and commitment to enhance the quality of life for its residents.  We all know that many large cities across the country have suffered huge economic losses and that suburbs have been the destination spot for the majority of buyers.  But the city is the linchpin for a region.  It is the coming together of communities-culture, entertainment, shopping, parks, restaurants--the whole vibrancy of a city is what makes an area a great place to live and work and play.

I, for one, as well as my wife and fellow Realtor, are thrilled that Cleveland Public Art is alive and well and thriving.  It is organizations like these that will play an essential part in keeping cities alive and well and thriving.  Thanks to all of the hard-working and dedicated artists and staff for beautifying Cleveland, OH!
