A preview fundraiser party will take place on Friday, July 6 along with the opening reception on Saturday, July 7. The 78th Street Studios, an industrial complex filled with independent galleries and studios that holds an open house on the third Friday every month, are located at 1300 West 78th St. in Cleveland's Detroit-Shoreway neighborhood.

It includes works by 90 local artists, along with a music series, a film series, a collection of artist talks and two weekends that feature local galleries. Additionally, it includes 15 site-specific installations, exhibited in stairwells, gardens and rooftops.
