Did You Know?

The George Gund Foundation annually commissions artists to photograph the Foundation’s areas of interest in Northeast Ohio for its annual reports.

Description

In 2004, the Foundation selected Brooklyn-based artist Thomas Roma, a masterful and sympathetic recorder of the urban environment, to photograph Ohio City on Cleveland’s near west side. He shows us a healthy neighborhood, one where the streets are busy and the businesses active. There are no great dramas or tensions, merely the daily dance of urban life.
