"Impermanence" exhibition at Heights Arts opens March 6

Organized by guest curator and photographer Daniel Levin, ”Impermanence” celebrates place, use, and time in downtown Cleveland, Ohio City, University Circle, Little Italy, and the Heights suburbs through pairs of photographs showing the same view of a site at different historical times. This “then and now” perspective allows the viewer to notice dramatic as well as subtle changes that have occurred to some of our most iconic community institutions and streetscapes, or more commonplace subject matter such as home interiors. The exhibition includes some unexpected images of the Cleveland Museum of Art, Arena District and Coventry neighborhoods which are sure to trigger a flood of memories in long-term Cleveland residents, as well as delight area newcomers.

Eleven respected Cleveland photographers are represented in the exhibition: Darlene Beiter, Andrew Cari, Beverly Conley, David Hagen, Mark Holz, Nathan Migal, Chuck Mintz, Karin McKenna, Emily Smith, Victoria Stanbridge, and Brian Swaney

“Impermanence” opens on Friday, March 6, with a public reception from 6 to 9 p.m. It is on view at Heights Arts, 2175 Lee Road in Cleveland Heights, through Saturday, April 18, during normal gallery hours (Tuesday and Wednesday 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., Thursday and Friday 10:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m., and Saturday 1:30-9:30p.m.; closed Sunday and Monday).
