La Distancia | The Distance Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Celebration

  • MetroHealth Glick Center (map)

From the Organizer:

Join us to celebrate the unveiling of Edra Soto’s striking new public artwork, La Distancia / The Distance — a sculptural outdoor bus shelter that also serves as a functioning RTA transit stop. This impactful work stands as a tribute to the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, home to Cleveland’s largest Puerto Rican and Latinx communities.

This event marks Edra Soto’s first major Midwest commission outside of her home base in Chicago.

Program highlights include:

  • Ribbon cutting ceremony

  • Remarks from Edra Soto, Councilwoman Jasmin Santana, and representatives from The MetroHealth System and the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority

  • A musical and dance performance by Djapo Cultural Arts immediately following the remarks

Event location:

In front of the MetroHealth Glick Center

Corner of Scranton Road & Southpoint Drive, Cleveland, OH 44109 [map]

Please note: This is an outdoor celebration. In the event of inclement weather, we’ll move indoors to the Glick Center entrance performance space.

Parking information coming soon!
