Level Three Gallery and Showroom, the newest art space in Cleveland is located at 3635 Perkins Ave. It is owned and curated by Marlene Forst and Gina DeSantis. The space is also home to their studios. It will house monthly exhibitions. The opening exhibit will include their work as well as the work of Bob Peck, Bridget Ginley, and Peter Krajcovic, and Richard Cihlar.

Marlene Forst has owned and managed Forst Gallery located at Great Northern Mall for the past 16 years. She is a graduate of Bowling Green University, majoring in art education and design. She works as an abstract painter and has received numerous commissions for clients in the Cleveland area.

Gina DeSantis works as a visual merchandiser and is an instructor for Art House, a Cleveland non-profit visual art organization. She earned her M.F.A. from Kent State University in ceramics and her B.A. in Studio Art from Cleveland State University. Her work includes functional ceramics and jewelry.

Although both artists work respectively in fine art and fine craft they hope to represent a balance between the often overlapping mediums. They both find inspiration in modern design and create art heavily saturated in color and texture.
Artist submissions are being reviewed for upcoming shows.
