Thank you Fred and Laura and Cleveland Magazine! ❤️❤️❤️

“On Feb. 5, closed its doors on Fred and Laura Bidwell’s final show. The Bidwells gifted the Hingetown gallery to the after 10 years of use, during which the local collectors and museum alternated exhibitions. 🖼️

Fred Bidwell cites his involvement with , Cleveland’s triennial contemporary art festival, as a reason to refocus. But the couple isn't going far — they plan to build a house next door.

“You’ll be able to practically reach out and touch it,” says Fred, 70. “We’ve had such a successful run and it’s felt so satisfying. The museum will do an amazing job, and this will give us a little extra time to breathe.” 🏠

We asked the Bidwells to reflect on their catalytic project, as it propelled Hingetown and introduced Clevelanders to one of the top 100 private collections in the country, with more than 1,300 pieces of work curated since the Bidwells' first acquisitions in 1991.”
