Year of the Rat :: SCSDC Public Art Project

SCSDC expands the Year of the Rat project beyond Public Art
Cleveland, Ohio – St. Clair Superior Development Corporation will be partnering with two local non-profit organizations, Art on Wheels and The Organization of Chinese Americans of Greater Cleveland (OCAGC), to implement an educational art program for Cleveland’s inner city children.

Third and fourth graders at Case Elementary school (located at 4050 Superior Avenue) will be the first recipients of this program. Each class consists of art projects taught by Art on Wheels, based specifically on the Chinese culture, as well as guest speakers from the OCAGC organization educating the students about certain aspects of the Chinese culture.
Classes begin Friday, February 29th, and are fully funded by Year of the Rat premium sponsors, ASI International, Consolidated Graphics, National City Bank, Ohio Technical College & Marigold Catering.

Upon program completion, all art projects will be on display the month of May at Cleveland City Hall in the Rotunda, in honor of Chinese heritage month.
