Discover the Cleveland Public Library Gift Shop

Last spring, entrepreneur Nicole McGee revived the Cleveland Public Library Gift Shop located in the Old Arcade, downtown Cleveland. Nicole invited us to bring a box of soap for the shop and it has taken off. The shop features 20-25 local artists and makers alongside library merchandise, all assisted by friendly volunteers who educate customers about the products. This development is a positive sign for downtown Cleveland’s recovery post-2020 lockdown, which adversely affected many small businesses. A video showcasing these new ventures highlights the library shop’s significant role.

Bay Village, west of Cleveland, is home to BAYarts, a thriving arts community situated near Lake Erie. Established in 1948 by women dedicated to promoting arts and culture, BAYarts offers two galleries, art classrooms, a pottery studio, and a gift shop showcasing over 50 local artists. The organization hosts multiple events, including gallery exhibits, concert series, a summer art festival, and a fall fundraiser. Recently, a soap and silk painting business, initially removed from the gift shop, was invited back, supplying items for the holiday artist market, which transforms the shop into a festive showcase.
