While our exhibitions will be closed, SPACES will still be hosting several exciting events! Join us next Saturday, October 24, at 7:00 PM for a free performance by No Exit New Music Ensemble, Cimbalom Sounds.

No Exit will once again be joined by cimbalom artist Chester Englander for a captivating, virtuosic, and truly one-of-a-kind evening of music. In Chester’s hands, the cimbalom—a traditional folk instrument—becomes an extraordinary and engaging voice in the avant-garde soundscape.

Grab a bite at one of the incredible restaurants in Ohio City, then head over to SPACES for an evening of adventurous music!

For more information, visit www.noexitnewmusic.com.

As always, No Exit events are free and open to the public. Adventurous minds are welcome!

ONE SHOW IS COMING TO AN END. THE NEXT PARTY IS JUST GETTING STARTED.

If you haven’t been to SPACES to see A Black Prayer by Yelaine Rodriguez, now is the time. The exhibition closes October 17, and trust us—you don’t want to miss it.

And if you’ve been following along, you might remember Yelaine’s brick adventure. That spirit of discovery is coming with us into our next big moment: AMERICA TWO FIFTY, our annual benefit, one-night exhibition, and art party on Saturday, November 7.

Yelaine has created several hand-cast bricks rooted in Cleveland’s history, made with Val Grossman at Brick Ceramics and Design Studio. They’re not souvenirs. They’re little pieces of place, transformed into art—and they’ll be part of the one-night exhibition and sale at AMERICA TWO FIFTY.

Come see A Black Prayer before it’s gone. Then come back November 7 ready to see what’s next.

SUPPORT SPACES. OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY.

Your ticket helps us keep experimental art alive, support artists, and bring a beloved SPACES tradition back to life.

AMERICA TWO FIFTY — November 7, 6–11 PM

SPACES was delighted to receive a special package from Senator Nickie Antonio’s office yesterday, recognizing our five 2026 Satellite Fund Awardees with special commendations!

Congratulations to Darius Steward, Anna Chapman, Shelli Reeves, Orlando Caraballo Ortiz, and Lindsay Stefans on this meaningful recognition of their work. Each artist will spend the coming months engaging with and contributing to communities across Cuyahoga County, bringing their unique perspectives, creativity, and practices into conversation with the people and places that make up our region.

The SPACES Satellite Fund is made possible through the generous support of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, whose funding enables us to give these transformative resources to artists.

We’re grateful to Senator Antonio for these citations and for her continued commitment to supporting the arts in Northeast Ohio. Thank you for recognizing the impact artists make in our communities!

Join SPACES on October 3 at 1PM for “Fall of Freedom,” a nationwide celebration of creative expression and solidarity. Interdisciplinary artist Storme Webber will be reading excerpts from her book "Blues Divine," an “ancestral mixtape” of poems exploring the intersections of q***r, Black and indigenous identity.

Following the reading, Webber and SPACES Curatorial Coordinator Thea Spittle will lead a community discussion about the value of our stories, archives and cultural memory in an era of creative and historical censorship.
