Cleveland Leaps into the Year of the Tiger with Public Art Celebration
City-Wide Public Art Project

On Wednesday, May 19, 2010, Cleveland will unleash the fifth in its series of annual public art campaigns celebrating the Lunar Chinese Year. This year’s project commemorates the Chinese Year of the Tiger, which began with the new moon February 14, 2010.  To kick off the celebration, St. Clair Superior Development Corporation (SCSDC) will install 25 fiberglass tiger sculptures featuring unique designs created and applied by Northeast Ohio artists/organizations.  The sculptures are sponsored by dozens of local businesses and will be installed throughout Cleveland’s St. Clair Superior neighborhood and in other key locations in and around downtown Cleveland.

The May 19 installation and a series of public events to follow will showcase Cleveland’s AsiaTown community as well as St. Clair Superior’s blossoming arts district and thriving business community.  Through a variety of education programs and other events throughout the year, the Year of the Tiger Project promotes investment in the St. Clair Superior neighborhood, celebrates city-wide cultural awareness and supports arts education and the local artist community.

In addition to the public art, the Year of the Tiger Project also includes a variety of Asian art & culture education programs and events throughout the year!
