About

A museum space for contemporary art. Free and open to the public.

Story

The Transformer Station is a project of Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Foundation that brings new contemporary arts exhibitions, events and programming to the west side of Cleveland.

Located at 1460 W. 29th St. in Ohio City, the 1920’s era industrial building has been restored and transformed with a contemporary addition to create an innovative new exhibition space designed for contemporary art. The Transformer Station is a place for the Fred and Laura Bidwell Foundation to share contemporary photo-based art from the Bidwell Projects Collection.

In an innovative agreement with the Cleveland Museum of Art, half of each year's exhibition schedule will be curated and presented by the museum's contemporary art department. The museum will use this space to present contemporary art exhibitions and projects that will extend the reach and scope of the museum's commitment to the art of today.

The Transformer Station is a lively and engaged participant in the thriving arts and culture scene of Cleveland's West Side Market Square, Detroit Shoreway and Gordon Square neighborhoods.
