Welcome to C. G. Baker Art Photography (Formerly Still Point Gallery & Boutique)

This website will be reconfigured as we transition to the original incarnation (C.G. Baker Art Photography) that inspired the gallery.  Over the next few months please visit the site, especially the blog, images and descriptive narratives and essays will be included for many of the works.

FAREWELL
We recently (8/1/24) announced our decision to retire ourselves and the gallery.  This was a difficult decision for a variety of reasons but there are more personal chapters we need to explore in the years ahead. The friends and great goodwill generated during our tenure will be sorely missed but the great memories will endure.  

The opening of the gallery at the beginning of 2009, and launch of this website, in 2012 commemorated a name change to Still Point Gallery & Boutique  (formerly, The Mezzanine Gallery) as well as our commitment to continued growth in Cleveland’s arts community.  Our relocation (February, 2018) to the Cedar Fairmount Historic District underscored further our confidence in Cleveland’s growth as a vibrant market for art and fashion. Our relocation and that perception was rewarded economically with an exponential increase in sales and, as importantly, a close relationship with our customers and the surrounding community. One of many measures was the unparalleled support we received during the pandemic when the gallery was closed or when hours reduced dramatically.  We experienced record growth during those years despite all the obstacles as friends and neighbors purchased gift cards during closures and accepted curbside sales.  We are grateful to all! 

Our mission had been to create a gallery that presented a wide array of artists (painters, photographers, jewelers, clothing designers, sculptors, carvers, glassmakers and ceramicists) that featured original and/or limited edition works.  And our broader vision was to create a “space” that was its own work of art; one that generated interest and energy, one that contributed to an overall aesthetic and, above all, one in which all who visited could enjoy quiet, contemplative moments independent of shopping. 

We worked hard to remain loyal to our vision and mission to provide a wide selection of original fine art and unique collectibles.  And, we’ve been repaid ten fold by an extraordinary array of loyal customers, the indefatigable support of our associates, and the broader community. 

With deep appreciation,

Kate and Geoff Baker
