This tour highlights public art in all its forms in and around the Civic Center of downtown Cleveland. We not only visit the art but we explore the artist, their ties to Cleveland, the people being depicted and their connections to Cleveland.
We will see the contemporary sculpture like the Free Stamp (Claes Oldenburg), Portal (Isamu Noguchi) and Sky Blossoms (Stacy Levy), statues of many historical figures like Jesse Owens, Commodore Perry and Mayor Tom Johnson, as well as some fantastic pieces that you may have never noticed before.
