| Clip from article about "The Philadelphians" exhibit: You want to hang out in halogen-lit, exposed-brick artsy environments, surrounded with cool, well-educated, smart young people, dressed down in upscale outfits. You want to see the latest from Rhode Island School of Design, or New York underground film festivals, or Cuba. You don't have to go to New York or Chicago or Cincinnati any more--just head downtown, to 237 North Michigan St., to Space 237. This weekend, some of the area's least-stuffy art people are opening four floors and 25,000 square feet of snappy, cool, contemporary art gallery and studio space. |

| A harvest moon rose over Toledo Saturday night, and the animals gathered downtown to howl and frolic. There were leopard-skin skirts and a cheetah scarf, pony-hide handbags, an alligator belt, and a spectacular pair of shiny black pointy-toe eelskin boots. This fashion zoo at 237 North Michigan St., toasted the opening of Space 237, Morgan Lawrence's new contemporary art gallery.
Paintings by Philadelphia artists Rebecca Westcott and Jim Houser debuted as the artists' friends glittered in lace-up black Spandex, Hawaiian shirts, Shinola hair and dragon tattoos. James Goodwin, Jennifer Post and Bennett McPeck rubbed shoulders with the Toledo Art Establishment --potter Edith Franklin, painter Constandena Mandros, architect David Munger and gallery owner Eric Hillenbrand. Mrs. Lawrence, with her husband Ned, shimmered in head-to-toe black with knock-em-dead jewelry. Potter Stephen LeBoutillier sat at the entrance in a vintage zebra-skin jacket. |
