The purpose of this program is to showcase the diversity of arts and culture of the Cleveland Plus Region. Cultural institutions, arts organizations, museums, as well as individual artists, are afforded opportunities to exhibit their collections of original artwork and photography in the airport. Submissions are reviewed by an Art Review Panel. Each approved proposal is assigned an exhibit start date based on the exhibition calendar. The duration of exhibits is up to six months depending on the nature of the exhibit. Curatorial and installation support are provided to selected exhibitors. Artists are featured at the art site as well as on the airport’s website at www.clevelandairport.com. Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that CLE features an exhibit from one of Cleveland’s iconic museums - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum exists to collect, preserve and interpret the impact rock has made on our world.

The exhibit, en tled “Live from Cleveland, Ohio,” showcases some of her favorite images of rock’s greatest moments in Cleveland - including those of many Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees. Arts, culture and diversity make Cleveland a great city.

ock and roll is part of Cleveland’s iden ty. In the early 1950’s, disc jockey Alan Freed and record shop owner Leo Mintz Rmainstreamed the term “rock and roll” to describe the sound and energy of this music. The fi rst rock and roll concert, “The Moondog Corona on Ball” was held here in 1952. Throughout the years, Cleveland has con nued to be a music hub.
Along Lake Erie, stands The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Every year, nearly a half-million visitors experience this preeminent Museum dedicated to the preserva on, celebra on and explora on of rock and roll.
This exhibit captures the rock scene in Cleveland of the 70s and 80s, through to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame events of today.
2 Janet Macoska leveland na ve Janet Macoska grew up with a love for rock and roll and photography. As early as age 12, she combined both, photographing C rock duo Sonny and Cher at local radio sta on WKYC. That photo became her fi rst published photo in a 1967 issue of TEEN SCREEN magazine. If rock and roll has been the soundtrack of your life, photojournalist Janet Macoska has provided many of the visuals. Janet Macoska has been capturing rock’s greatest on fi lm… and now in pixels (digital). Among the
