A part of the Euclid Corridor Transportation Project

How it Started

Cleveland Public Art was hired by the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) to work with RTA's Arts in Transit Committee, community members, and the Euclid Corridor design team to develop a public art master plan for the corridor. The plan explored public art opportunities along Euclid Avenue and set up a strategy for implementing the art components of the project.

The Outcome

The artists wanted to create a place for people to walk, stop, read, and hear poetry. The work is a series of granite interactive poetry sculptures placed on a 115 foot site along the Euclid Corridor in East Cleveland. The sphere surfaces have embossed lettering that look as if they have left behind imprints of poetic texts. The three sculptures have peoms from admired poets who have lived in Cleveland.
