Your Premier Destination for Local Ohio Art & Artists
Lake Erie Artists was founded in 2003 as a collaborative effort among Cleveland-based artists to share costs for regional art shows. Our journey began with a temporary holiday space in Cleveland's Tower City Center in 2005, followed by permanent retail locations that allowed us to expand our gallery space and teaching studios. While we no longer maintain a physical storefront, our online platform continues to showcase the diverse talents of Ohio artists through paintings, jewelry, and mixed-media works. We specialize in connecting art enthusiasts with local creators through curated collections and educational resources.Our expertise spans multiple mediums including watercolor, precious metal clay jewelry, and contemporary prints. As a trusted platform, we guarantee safe global shipping for all purchased art gifts while maintaining transparency about our artists' backgrounds and creative processes. Our commitment to Cleveland's artistic community remains unwavering through social media engagement and email newsletters that highlight new works and artist stories.
