The Art of Foreclosure

Posted Thursday, August 19, 2010

The magnitude of the problem can leave you speechless….over fourteen-thousand foreclosures last year in Cuyahoga County. Join us on the next Applause as we step outside the studio and into a house located in Cleveland's Fairfax Neighborhood that playwright Langston Hughes once called home. That once stood in the shadow of foreclosure. On this episode we take a revealing look at this growing epidemic through the works of artists Donald Black and Amy Casey. And we'll find out how some local businesses including A Piece of Cleveland, Cleveland Magazine and the Fairfax Renaissance Development Corporation are addressing the problem. All this and more on the next round of Applause.
