Painted after the deaths of Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice, this work at the corner of E th and Yale is still striking. Painted in before the election, this eye-catching mural was painted by Gary Williams, Robin Robinson, and David Hayes.

Leading up to the election, volunteers used the yard in front of the mural to offer voter registration services. One of the newest murals in Cleveland, this beautiful work is by one of my favorite local muralists, Lisa Quine. The mural is on the side of the House of Swing jazz club in South Euclid, and is absolutely beautiful. This side of the building faces a neighboring CVS parking lot, which is where I recommend pulling in if you want to see it.

After the death of George Floyd and the ensuing protests against police brutality all across America, several cities began putting down Black Lives Matter murals on city streets.

Cleveland, too, joined in on the trend, choosing to place the first one along a corridor of E. Each letter is a unique work of art.

I love finding amazing street art when I travel. The ice cream one is maybe one of my favorites. You have a really great writing style and I thought the intro to this was outstanding! Thanks very much! So a new website seemed like the right way to go!

There are some fantastic pieces here! Haha I know. These are quite amazing. The Prince one is my favorite. I do agree with you, that a great mural is such a great addition to a city. I love all the great mural projects that turn old, sometimes blighted buildings and spaces into works of art! I had no idea Cleveland had such a cool mural scene. Awesome list and I love your interaction with the murals!

Great post. Cleveland has a lot that tends to surprise people… cool art, great food, craft beer, a beautiful lakeshore… you should come visit! This was oh-so very helpful. Made it so easy to explore some fun neighborhoods between conference ended and flight home. Thanks for the list. This list is wonderful. Happy to be able to help! I love murals, and am always on the lookout for more to add to this list. These murals are predominately found on the West side of Cleveland…another example of the way the East side is ignored or minimized.

There are many fabulous murals on the East side. You are right, and I will do my best to include more East Side murals in future updates! I spent the day today with friends from Miami who had specifically told me about this street mural art. I am a Clevelander living on the East Side and never knew any of this existed. We spent the entire day visiting each mural and taking lots of pictures.

Our day started at 78th Street Gallery on West 78th and Lake. Outside is an incredible sculpture that I hope you can see at some point. I have pictures that I can forward to you if you want to see them. I have to admit that my favorite one was the Love Doves.

Thank you for sharing all of these. Amanda, thank you for sharing this mural roundup. I understand that there are too many to include them all in a post but I was expecting to see the Wyland whaling wall at some point. Thanks very much for sharing. What a fantastic, clear shot of the mural artwork!

Post a Comment. Kleefeld on Comics. Remember a while back I was asking for any info about an old Batman mural painted on the side of a building in downtown Cleveland in the s? Mom and Dad found it! This photo or, rather, the photo shown in this photo was taken by Jim Marcus, "Cleveland's photo hobo", probably sometime in the s in June It's clearly not exactly how I remembered, but the last time I saw it I was maybe ten or eleven.

We still don't have any information as to who painted it or why, but it is definitive proof that a giant mural of Batman did indeed exist in Cleveland in the s. Any insights, acknowledgements or anecdotes about it would be appreciated. Related Items DC history. Sean Kleefeld. Located at E.
