the end of February: on the first floor of the Galleria, two doors west of 
Gallery 324 (where the Bruce Conforti one-man show "recentworks" can 
be seen through March 10) and two doors east of the "Beyond The 
Printed Page" show (work by the staff artists of Cleveland, Ohio, and 
Inside Business magazines, running through March 17) off the Palm 
Court. The Galleria is between East 9th and East 12th Streets, and 
between Lakeside and St Clair, with entrances on 9th, 12th, and St
