|
Attended the Ohio State University and

Lefkowitz has nine years of publishing experience

the Neighborhood news; staff writer
for the Cleveland Jewish
News; and associate editor for Inside
Business magazine. Lefkowitz received
Press Club of Cleveland awards for feature writing in 2000,
2001 and 2002. Currently, he is the Web Editor for EcoCity
Cleveland, and, recently he received his Master of Arts degree
in Urban Planning at Cleveland State University. He hopes
Hotel Bruce
will rise again as a journal and space for people to gather,
share ideas and create a community.
"The name evokes a place and time
when people from all walks of life maybe lived a little more,
walked and hopped trains a lot more, and visited with their
neighbors more. They found the necessities of life right in
their neighborhood. I would like to see more Clevelanders
reclaim some of those positive aspects of urban living." |

A painter and printmaker who has exhibited
her work locally at the Beck Center, Cleveland Environmental
Center, and Sylvia Ullman Gallery. Slawson spent four years
as an installation technician and curatorial assistant for
the Cleveland Museum of Art, and was Exhibition Development
Assistant at the Malrite Company in Cleveland, working on
the International Spy Museum. Slawson earned a Bachelor of
Fine Arts in painting and printmaking from Parsons School
of Design, and is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts
at Kent State University. She returned to Cleveland because
she feels it is a city where she can have an influence on
the decreasing population of young people.
"The actual Hotel Bruce was one of
those places that you only find in really interesting urban
areas. I have always wanted to find out the history of abandoned
landmarks, and give them the importance of attention. That
feeling now stretches to the whole of this city. Cleveland
deserves some celebration of its history and people."

Miami University of Ohio, and assistant registrar and curatorial

"I see Hotel
Bruce not only as a journal, but
as a new, enlightened way of thinking. It's about rising above
the notion that our city is somehow second-class, and celebrating
the good, the inspirational, the quirky, and even the downright
odd aspects of the Forest City that make it an exciting and
vibrant place to call home." |

"I view Hotel
Bruce as a new place to explore
and truly experience Cleveland. To unearth the details of
our city, use them as a resource, and make people realize
that this is an inspiring place to live instead of planning
their ‘exciting life’ someplace else. I hope that
Hotel Bruce will foster the energy and the kind of thinking
that makes people proud to be here. Cleveland has everything—
just give it a moment to let it captivate you."
