Transformer Station

I haven’t been back since the gallery first opened, but I have to say my most recent experience was as good as my first. I think this is my favourite CLE gallery!
The lady at the desk was very friendly and welcoming. She gave me a Kindle to use to guide me through the museum. I recommend you accept the kindle. It adds great value to the experience in terms of what the artist was thinking of and intending and as to how all the art relates to each other. For the one gallery there was even a video of the artist explaining the gallery.
The lady at the desk told me to come and ask if I had any questions and genuinely seemed to care as to whether I would enjoy myself.
This particular exhibit I felt was really something that resonated with me since I love to travel and since our city, Cleveland, is quickly developing. There were photographs taken observing people in their cars, in their high rise apartments, via Google Earth satellite, and to me most interestingly with other strangers on the street. There was also a multi-​media instalment. I think it was my favourite as it dealt with a subject I often consider when I travel. I won’t ruin the surprise, but it has to do with people taking public transit.
The current exhibits are in place till 20 Sept (day of Sparx City Hop) — I recommend checking it out!

Verrrryyyy cool space.
This gallery is in a strange little nook of Ohio City. Off the beaten path, but right off the highway. The Transformer Station was perfectly rehabbed to accommodate amazing artwork. The two rooms (the black frame room and the white frame room) have lofted ceilings, wonderful lighting and the actual works of art are, at least when I went, very provocative.
I stopped by for «Excerpts from Silver Meadows» which was also during the CMA Ohio City Stages. I don’t know what to say, but it was a great experience. Popping into the museum and then popping out for some wonderful Moroccan music, really made my night. I hope the Transformer Station continues to be a centerpiece for world music, world art and world culture.
ps, check-​in on foursquare and they often have prizes!

If a local coffee drinker heading to Rising Star hadn’t told us about it, I would never have known what was inside of this building! Now let me preface this by saying I’m not artsy at all. I know little, if anything about art or photographs. Don’t even try to talk to me about because I don’t get it.
But I’ll look at pictures and stuff. This little gallery had a very interesting series featuring a photographer from San francisco, so I loved it actually. They give you a kindle to borrow and it narrates the photos for you so that you have an understanding of what you’re looking at (perfect for a bozo like myself!).
And it’s free! Perfect little place to stop at after having a cup of joe from across the way. Btw, they have coffee lids in case you’d like to keep your coffee with you while you browse. So nice!

transformer station, from the outside it just seems like a random building. the only reason we noticed this place is because it was across the street from Rising Star Coffee Roasters. I was gazing out at my surroundings and saw people coming in and out of the building. A customer passing through had mentioned it was a free photo gallery and we should go check it out.
upon entering there is a reception desk where a lovely lady offered to give us coffee lids for our coffee from across the street. it fit our cups perfectly and I was delighted I was able to continue to enjoy my coffee while browsing the gallery. She also offered me a tablet to bring throughout the gallery and obtain more information on the pieces and why they were selected. you could also log into their wifi and use your own phone to access the website.
i loved this option! i really need the additional information the be able to fully appreciate and understand pieces and the tablet did just the trick. it was great for an amateur like myself to go through each piece and learn about the series and what the artist was trying ton convey.
i love it when places whether it be museums, restaurants, or any business keeps up with the technological advances of these times. even more shocked with i find a place in the greater area of Cleveland that embraces technology. great little hidden spot to spend a little time

Clevelands Culture with an edgier scene! This is a kinda big deal and will def build up the culture development in the City. High five! Crisp white walls tastefully filled with contemporary photography art is Fresh! I highly recommend checking it out
