Art galleries in Cleveland
Galleries are best taken slowly. Cleveland, OH has 19 mapped right now. That's 19 galleries mapped around Cleveland. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Opening nights are the cheat code — free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that actually wants to talk about the work.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Cleveland (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Arts Collinwood and Spaces, plus Bonfoey Gallery. If a gallery's missing from Cleveland's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Cleveland
How the regulars do Cleveland's galleries:
- Look at the building too at Arts Collinwood. Galleries often live in the most interesting architecture in town — converted warehouses, old banks, heritage houses.
- Ask what's coming next at Spaces. Gallerists love talking about the next show. It also tells you when to come back.
- Check for artist talks. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.
- Check the gift shop. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Cleveland — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Cleveland can take a while to appear. The 19 above are only as current as the community map. A art gallery that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 19 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
