    City of Cleveland Indoor artwork in hallways, Public Auditorium CALL FOR ARTISTS Request for Qualifications (RFQ) SPRING 2021 The City of Cleveland is requesting qualifications from artists who may be interested in producing two- dimensional artworks at one or more of six locations in ramped hallways between two floor levels at Public Auditorium, 500 Lakeside Avenue East. The horseshoe-shaped Public Auditorium, which seats up to 10,000, opened in 1922. The 3,000-seat Music Hall and 600-seat Little Theater were added to the south (St. Clair Avenue) end of the auditorium building in 1928, and, at the same time, a new main lobby and terrace for the auditorium were added at the north (Lakeside Avenue) end. One central stage serves both Public Auditorium and the Music Hall. Three artworks will be located in each of the ramped hallways that connect two of the auditorium’s lobbies—the “red lobby” on the entrance level and the “blue lobby” on the upper level. The hallways are each close to 200 feet long, with two rounded 90-degree bends and one switchback each. The artworks will be installed on the curved walls at the 90-degree bends and on the flat walls at the switchbacks. The artworks are a component of a project that will involve making improvements to the hallways so that they will visually complement, but not visually compete with, the ornate lobbies, from which four of the artwork locations are clearly visible. (The switchback locations are visible only from within the hallways.) The other improvements will include repainting the hallways in welcoming colors consonant with the building’s history and aesthetics and upgrading the light fixtures to the high standard set throughout the public areas of the auditorium building.

    November 2014 In a New Light: Reframing American Masterpieces at the What’s Inside Cleveland Museum of Art Over the past several years, we have reframed several of our most important American paintings in order to enhance their aesthetic and historical appeal. Our undertaking, still in pro- gress, has two goals: restoring antique frames in the collection; and, through careful research, securing top-quality antique or replica frames for paintings whose original adornments no longer exist. This presentation will cover a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the process, with “before” and “after” images demonstrating how we have improved the visual impact of many of our greatest treasures.
