Fri 9/10-Fri 10/8
Recently, the Shaker Arts Council put out a call for artists to beautify storefronts along Chagrin Boulevard between Lee and Avalon roads and along Lee between Chagrin and Van Aken, in a program called “Imagine Chagrin.” (SHAC) is mounting a free public art exhibit.
Its goal was to spotlight local businesses and artists, and create some excitement in what has been dubbed “Shaker Heights’ downtown.” That exhibit debuts on Friday September 9 and will be on view through Fri October 8.
The storefronts that have been beautified included Marr’s Taekwondo, Shaker Heights Animal Hospital, Africa Art and Clothes, Chagrin Wine & Beverage Co, Diamond’s Men’s Store, Brown-Forward Funeral Home, A Touch of Italy, Faithfully Fit Fitness, Gomez Shoe Repair, Reclamation, Shaker Jazzy Clips, Shaker Heights Nutrition, Shaker Upper Crust, Strive Mental Health and Wellness, and 3-19 Coffee.
Artists participating in the project are Anna Hsu, Fatima Matar, Ewuresi Archer, Meryl Engler, Christina Eagleeye-Wilson, Tristan Hearn, Mata Ziegler, Tai Gomez-Curtain, Louisa Scott, 3Dink – Daija Davis, Georgio Sabino III, Alicia Vasquez, Jacqueline Kahane Freedman, R&B-Studio216 – Bonnie Venable, and Allison Wooley.
