    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.

  • Heritage of Books on Cleveland
    A L....--_----' Heritage of Books on Cleveland Cleveland Heritage Program A HERITAGE OF BOOKS: A Selected Bibliography of Books and Related Materials on Cleveland to be found at the Cleveland Public Library by Matthew F. Browarek CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1984 Cover photograph: Hiram House Station C 1920 Archives. Cleveland Public Library PREFACE The Cleveland Heritage Program was born out of the conviction that the city of Cleve­ land possesses unique qualities worth capturing in pictures and words. In designing the program, Professor Thomas Campbell of Cleveland State University and I were prompted less by a desire to evoke nostalgia than to retrieve fugitive material for the benefit of scholars whose work will help us to understand how and why our city is what it is. If the uses of history are to serve the present generation, then the Cleveland Heritage Program has done its work well. Funded primarily by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program was carried on over a two-year period from 1981 to 1983. Important supple­ mentary grants were made by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Nathan L. Dauby Fund. Also, the Cleveland Heritage Program greatly benefited from the cooperation of the following institutions: the Cleveland Public Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cuyahoga Community College, WVIZ-TV and the College of Urban Affairs of Cleveland State University. Under Professor Campbell and his many able assistants, diligent research recovered valuable artifacts, photographs and oral histories relating to several of Cleveland's neigh­ borhoods.

    CLEVELAND: ECONOMICS, IMAGES, AND EXPECTATIONS JOHN J. GRABOWSKI INTRODUCTION hy do cities grow, thrive, and sometimes fail? What holds them together Wand makes them special places—unique urban landscapes with distinctive personalities? Often we fix on the “image” of a city: its structural landmarks; the natural environment in which it is situated, or the amenities of life which give it character, be they an orchestra or a sports team. Even less tangible attributes, including a reputation for qualities such as innovation, perseverance, or social justice, come into play here. Image, however, is often a gloss, one that hides the core of the community, the portion of its history that has been central to its exis- tence. Many would like to see Cleveland, both now and historically, as a “city on a hill,” one defined by many of the factors noted above. Yet, Cleveland’s image is to an extent a veneer. Underneath that veneer is the economic core that led to the creation of the city and that has sustained it at various levels for over 200 years. Without it, the veneer would not exist. The fact that today, aspects of Cleveland’s veneer have merged into its economic core represents a remarkable historical transformation. Cleveland’s Public Square is perhaps the best place to begin in examining the history of Cleveland and the interrelationship between economic reality and image. On the northwest quadrant of the square a statue of Tom L. Johnson re- minds one and all that Cleveland was in the forefront of the Progressive move- ment at the turn of the twentieth century.

  • History of Cleveland State University
    History of Cleveland State University Established as a state-assisted university in 1964, Cleveland State University was created out of the buildings, faculty, staff, and curriculum of the former Fenn College, a private institution of 2,500 students that was founded in 1929. Cleveland State University’s historical roots go back to the 19th century. During the 1880s, the Cleveland YMCA began to offer day and evening courses to students who did not otherwise have access to higher education. The YMCA program was reorganized in 1906 as the Association Institute, and this in turn was established as Fenn College in 1929. A significant contribution of Fenn College was its pioneering work in developing internships for students in engineering and business. These internships, as joint ventures between the college and local businesses and industries, provided students with professional contacts and experience, as well as an affordable education. The historic Fenn Tower still stands as a reminder of those early years, when the University already had a strong commitment to equal access to higher education. The Cleveland-Marshall College of Law traces its origins to 1897 when the Cleveland Law School was founded. It was the first evening law school in the state and one of the first to admit women and minorities. Another evening law school, John Marshall School of Law, was founded in 1916. In 1946, the two schools merged to become the Cleveland- Marshall School of Law. Cleveland-Marshall became part of Cleveland State University in 1969. 10 Profile of Cleveland State University Cleveland State University: New Attitudes, New Experiences, New Outlooks A Campus Rich in Tradition Cleveland State was established as a state university in 1964 and has continued to grow since.
