HIP 2B Square

We invite you to join us for Gordon Square Arts District's annual fundraiser, Hip 2B Square: Fear No Art, as we honor long-time supporter Elizabeth Newman, President and CEO of the Centers for Families and Children and Circle Health Services.

'Hip' will rock the neighborhood the evening of Wednesday, June 27, 2018. This year we'll be celebrating in a brand-new space. Chip Marous will host Hip 2B Square at Vintage Development Group's exciting new luxury apartment community Battery Park Lofts, located at 1250 W. 75th Street, within Cleveland's Battery Park Neighborhood. You'll enjoy views of Lake Erie while enjoying great food and drinks as we showcase the arts and live entertainment.  We are thrilled to honor Elizabeth Newman at this year's event. Elizabeth continues to position The Centers' Gordon Square campus, the largest employer in the district, as a neighborhood anchor and partner. The campus serves over 2,000 children, adults and families each year with integrated health care, high quality early learning and workforce development programs. Most recently, The Centers' El Barrio Workforce Development Center partnered with Detroit Shoreway to launch Hire Local, an initiative aimed at connecting neighborhood residents with local businesses for employment. This spring, we'll install a vibrant three-story mural on The Centers' Reinberger Auditorium to welcome people to the neighborhood. Elizabeth is a truly passionate champion for the arts and the district.
