 The Fine Arts Department of Cleveland Public Library has a large collection of CDs by local musicians covering a wide variety of genres from blues and folk to rock and reggae. They have recently been reorganized and are available for patrons to browse in Fine Arts at the Main Library. Any of these CDs can also be sent to CPL branches and Clevenet libraries for you to check out.
We invite any local musicians or bands to donate a copy of your CD so that we may continue to improve the collection and its coverage of the local music scene. You may bring them to the Fine Arts Dept. or send them to:

 Art Therapy Studio was highlighted in a segment on WVIZ's Applause program in January. It is the oldest expressive arts therapy program of its kind in the country.

See the whole Applause program. Or watch just the segment at the Art Therapy Studio website or YouTube.
