BrickStreet Arts Association

The BrickStreet Arts Association is a non-profit organization that facilitates the design and installation of public art in older urban neighborhoods. The group provides the working nexus between an urban community’s desire for public art, the artists desiring to create public art, and the funding agencies willing to help pay for public art. In the six years since its founding, the BrickStreet Arts Association has facilitated the creation and building of three completed public art installations: Charlotte Lees’ Side by Side in the Harrison West, Robert Huff’s The Couch, and the George Bellows Cliff Dwellers mural painted by Curtis Goldstein and Michelle Attias, both on High Street in the Short North. The BrickStreet Arts Association is also working with Friends of Goodale Park to faciliate the development of a public art piece in Goodale park: Tete-a-Tete Falls by Malcolm Cochran. This waterfall sculpture will be located in the Goodale Pond.
