The best place to buy art in Cleveland

The Student Independent Exhibition is always inspiring - so much talent in one place and such diverse, interesting pieces -- many for sale. The Reliquary to the Brontosaurus was one of my favorites, but there was also a film that I really liked. It was made to look like a circa 1920 silent home movie or vacation film and in it three actors wave, smile and explore Cleveland landmarks such as the old coast guard station. I hope to get back there, and I will post the name of the student, but see it yourself.
