On view now at the Cleveland Museum of Art is a new exhibit marking the debut of the beautiful new gallery space, and what better way to christen that gallery than to decorate it with some of the most precious jewelery ever created, from three of the greatest designers of the early 20th century. Joining us this week on Applause to unveil this sparkling new show - Artistic Luxury: Faberge, Tiffany and Lalique - is Museum Curator Stephen Harrison.

While the exhibit Artistic Luxury: Faberge, Tiffany and Lalique takes place inside the Cleveland Museum of Art, work continues outside on the $350 million renovation and expansion that's scheduled for completion in 2012. Earlier this year, Phase I of the project - the renovation of the 1916 building - was completed, and Dee Perry sat down with local architectural expert Steve Litt, columnist for the Plain Dealer, for his take on the new space.

You may not know his name, but chances are if you grew up in this area you know his art. In his lifetime, Northeast Ohio artist Clyde Singer produced more than 3,000 works of art. In recognition of his 100th anniversary, an unprecedented dual exhibit of Clyde Singer's works are on display at the Canton Museum of Art and the Butler Institute in Youngstown where Singer worked for more than 50 years.
