Start your holiday shopping at MOCA this Friday and Saturday. Find the coolest gifts, support our very talented local artists and our great contemporary museum-- much better than shopping at the mall!

Go to the preview party on Friday night (5-9 pm) for the tmosphere and the best selection of gifts (its free if you are a MOCA member or $5 if your are not). If you can't make it Friday night there is always Saturday (11 am - 6 pm) and admission is free to all on Saturday.

MOCA Art Sale a big shop NEO success

Props to the PD for giving the MoCA art sale a full page cover feature - I spoke with one of the artists from the sale today and she said there were over 1,000 people through there yesterday. That is a great sign the people of NEO are wising up and helping make art work here. Another sign of that... I spoke with one of the staff at MoCA a few weeks ago and she said there had been 1,000s of people through the current, fantastic show, on top of the 1,000s there for the opening, and that they had sold out everything in the gift shop. This is how the arts are supposed to work in NEO. Are you part of this revolution? Have you been to the great shows up right now at MoCA, CIA, CMA, Zygote, etc.? Where are you doing your holiday shopping? Are you a problem or a solution for making art work in NEO?

Disrupt IT

Good art to buy all year round

Clevelanders definitely have a great selection of art to buy for the holidays and all year long. And the prices are very low here compared to other cities like New York and Toronto. My only complaint, I think that for people like me who know the Cleveland market well it has gotten a bit stagnet. At these types of sales I see a lot of the same concepts done over and over again. Maybe if Cleveland was a more supportive market for artists, artists would take more risks and be more daring with their work.
