The newly recognized Gordon Square Arts District
The towering 14-foot paddle ball sculpture at the heart of the Gordon Square Arts District stands as a playful emblem of the neighborhood’s artistic spirit. The area is home to three historic major theaters, ethnically-diverse restaurants, and a retro pinball parlor, reflecting its dedication to arts and entertainment.
Gordon Square thrived as a bustling commercial district until postwar prosperity caused a mass exodus to the suburbs, leaving the neighborhood in decline. With financial backing, Gordon Square has flourished, fueled by an arts-based community development strategy. Landmark projects include a $9.5 million effort to improve Detroit Avenue, renovations to Cleveland Public Theatre and Near West Theatre’s new facility. “Prior to that campaign, it wasn’t known as an arts district. Now this area is super electric,” says Terry Metter, Librarian at the Cleveland Public Library.
Theaters are worth the price of admission
With the Cleveland Public Theatre, Near West Theatre, and the Capitol Theatre, locals in the district are treated to a trio of opportunities to watch performances on the stage and screen. In 1921, Capitol Theatre opened its doors to show blockbusters, indie films and special screenings. Near West Theatre draws a crowd of nearly 13,000 annual audience members to show local talent. Also, the Cleveland Public Theatre highlights 800 artists who participate annually in performances and educational programs.
Gordon Square Arts District features multiple historic theatres and music venues.
