Art Crew
The Art Crew gives the CMA a vital presence in the community, with life-size costumes based on objects in the permanent collection. The costumed characters work with a "handler" who fields audience questions and supplies CMA information along with the offer of a free Polaroid picture of the visitor with the character. Call 216-707-2487 for more information or to schedule an appearance. Cost is $50 nonrefundable booking fee and $25 per hour with a two-hour minimum for each character and handler.
