In partnership with the Saint Luke’s Foundation, Assembly for the Arts’ Jeremy Johnson will be joined by Kevin “mr.soul” Harp, Stina Aleah, and Robin Robinson. Each of these talented artists have created stunning murals within the Saint Luke’s footprint in the Buckeye-Shaker, Woodhill, and Mt. Pleasant neighborhoods.
Join us for a special FREE City Club Forum and Cookout in the Community as we hear from three inspiring muralists who have transformed their communities on Cleveland’s East Side, and what more can be done to support art for the public good.
