Phone Gallery

Phone Gallery is Cleveland’s smallest art gallery and a creative space for visual arts display! Our emphasis is on exposing emerging visual artists to the Greater Cleveland community as well as providing the Collinwood community with freely accessible art.

For more than 10 years, Phone Gallery has shown light – 24/7 – on a tiny, unexpected white boxed gallery inside a formerly vacant payphone box that has shown over 50 local, emerging artists from Northeast Ohio. With a motion-censored light and due to its position on a sidewalk in the busy Waterloo Arts District in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland, the gallery is always “open” with artwork on view. Its inherently public location provides mutually beneficial art exposure for Northeast Ohio artists and Collinwood residents and visitors, especially during the monthly “Walk All Over Waterloo” art walks. Many curious and community conversations have started by peering into the box!

Max display size: 11″ w x 22″ h x 6″ d. Visual 2-D and 3-D pieces are encouraged. An outlet internal to the box is available for those submissions requiring electricity.

Phone Gallery accepts applications on a rolling basis! Artists are awarded 2 consecutive months to display their work in a solo show, anywhere from 6-10 months out from the time of the application. Email ali.alithearchitect@gmail.com for a pdf or doc application and more info on availability.
