Look beyond the storefronts. Tremont’s public art has a few stories of its own to tell.
Cleveland field notesTREMONTPublic art / Neighborhood guide
A neighborhood does not need a single grand landmark to introduce itself. Sometimes a corner, a gazebo, and the work of the people who live there offer a better starting point. In Tremont, public art makes local history part of the everyday landscape.
Start at the Art + History Corner
At Professor and College avenues, Tremont’s Art + History Corner uses historic images and artistic renderings to tell the neighborhood’s story. Give the displays the time you would give a small exhibition. Their value is in the connection between what you are seeing and the streets around you.
Look closely in Lincoln Park
In Lincoln Park, Angelica Pozo’s ceramic tile mural wraps around the south side of the gazebo. The community project brings local history together with original artwork by residents, students, church members, and others connected to Tremont. The individual contributions are part of the larger story.
Follow a detail
Choose a name, image, or historical detail that stays with you and use it as a prompt to learn more. The Tremont History Project documents these installations and is a useful place to continue reading. This is a visit for close looking, with no need to cover the whole neighborhood at once.
