Phone Gallery

Ian Rapp’s mixed media installation “Lost in Paradaze” opened during the March “Walk All Over Waterloo” event and is on view 24/7 through the end of April 2026!

Photographs cannot do the beauty of her etched glass justice, so be sure to stop down to the western end of Waterloo (across the street from Praxis and next door to artiCLE) to see it in person - and get lost in mediation as the artist tempts her audiences to do!

Laura Tuokkola is an emerging artist with a real passion for painting and sculpture. Check out her latest work, “Eye Put A Spell On You”, now on view in Phone Gallery in the Waterloo Arts District through early March 2026.

The piece is eye catching and presents its viewer with a challenge - to stop looking so much at our cellphones and look around our everyday environments for the real beauty. Sounds like a good new year resolution!

Find her artistic portfolio on Instagram:

Check out artist Scout Bach’s piece, Moody Women through the end of 2025!

This September and October, check out Arron Foster’s piece “Yeah, well”. Arron is a Kent-based artist and faculty at KSU’s college of art.

While the exhibit is on view 24/7, don’t miss out on “Walk All Over Waterloo” the first Friday evenings of the month and the annual “Waterloo Arts Fest” on Saturday, September 13!

Check out the latest exhibit, “The Leaf” by photographer Bob Palinkas!

He took a photography class in high school and then picked up the art again decades later. He has been a member of the Cleveland Print Room for 1.5 years and shared a lot of his knowledge (some passed along from his photographer dad) while installing this piece. On view through the end of August 2025.

Check out Marlene Weinstein’s exhibit “How It Was” inside Phone Gallery for the months of May and June 2025! Her paintings chronicle the evolution of the telephone in a meta exhibit!

Marlene’s journey to an artful practice is interesting: she retired from a career in the medical profession and went back to school for her MFA. She now paints and draws and teaching in both disciplines.

Congrats to our across the street neighbor on the west end of the Waterloo Arts District!

📣Announcement! Praxis has purchased our building! We deeply believe that we are more than a building- we are a CAMPUS! A campus that can continue to grow and serve as one of the west end anchors of the Waterloo Arts District and continue to be a community hub and international destination.
You’ll hear more about our campus campaign and celebration of our 10 year anniversary! For now, we want to thank all of our members, weavers, artists, partners, staff and friends for your support and community during this amazing journey. Special thank you to and - this would not be possible without you.
💕Stop by this Friday for Walk All Over Waterloo💕

Here’s a throwback:

Phone Gallery’s first exhibit in April 2014 was a collage of photographs taken by Collinwood of Collinwood. Over 60 artists have exhibited their work since in solo shows.

Cleveland’s smallest space for art display is going strong 11 years later!

A new artist will be installed this week in advance of the May 2 Walk All Over Waterloo!

Now through the end of April check out the latest installment inside Phone Gallery: KWOLL (also known as Elana Flores) created this mixed media piece with handmade paper clay. Her source? Notebook pages, bills, syllabi and more from her years as a student at Cleveland Institute of Art! Intricate sketches line the sides of Cleveland’s smallest gallery. See the full story in person… Phone Gallery is “open” 24/7 in the Waterloo Arts District.

Because March’s “Walk All Over Waterloo” falls on March 7th (save the date!) and because February is a short month, you get a few extra days to view Nicole’s work. Now through March 3rd, 24/7 stop by Phone Gallery on the west end of the Waterloo Arts District near Article and Praxis.

A new artist will be installed for WAOW.
