Community collaboration is critical to the success of this project. Filling out the brief form below will help us as we build Black Avenue going forward.
What is BLACK AVENUE?
In partnership with the community voices, residents and neighbors of Hough and MidTown, MidTown Cleveland inc. and the Cleveland Foundation seek to grow the foundation of trust that has been built with residents and engaged community members within the community by working in concert with local thought partners to develop a plan for the development of a Cultural District in this storied and multi-faceted community. MidTown Cleveland Inc is authentically listening to the diverse resident population of Hough, and we’re building bridges with all neighborhood stakeholders. Black Avenue is the answer to the core values and commitments of Hough’s residents who desire a cultural corridor along 66th Avenue and a broader Arts and Culture District devoted to becoming the epicenter of Black creatives, intellectual and entrepreneurial practices, which will set the stage for a new Black Renaissance in Cleveland.
