Call it a reverse Joni Mitchell: Cleveland State University plans to turn a 4,000-square-foot parking garage in the historic Middough Building into an artistic paradise.

The Galleries at East 13th Street will become a permanent home for student exhibitions, faculty shows and community-based art after years of rotating through borrowed spaces.

The project dovetails with broader efforts by Playhouse Square, the city and county officials to transform East 13th Street, along with Euclid Avenue and Chester Avenue, into a vibrant part of Cleveland’s downtown arts district.

We are thrilled to share our latest blog post, which features the remarkable journey of former Creative Arts Fellow Jurnee Weeams, who went from eager intern to prominent arts professional in the vibrant city of Cleveland.

This enlightening interview beautifully captures the essence of our partnership with Cleveland State University and the Arts Intern program, which opens up genuine pathways for emerging talents and underscores our dedication to nurturing careers in the arts.

Jurnee’s story is one of transformation, beginning with her Creative Arts Fellowship at the Assembly for the Arts, where she immersed herself in the dynamic world of arts management.

Now, as a skilled muralist with Impart 216, she breathes life into public spaces through her stunning artwork.

“I never really envisioned myself working in an arts nonprofit or pursuing a career in this field, but here I am,” Jurnee reflects.

Her journey is a powerful testament to how meaningful professional experiences can reshape lives and define futures for college students in the arts.
