Cleveland, November 17, 2020—Dan Gilbert and the Cleveland Cavaliers announced today that Cleveland, Ohio-native and internationally-celebrated artist Daniel Arsham joins the organization as Creative Director. The groundbreaking partnership, initiated by Grant Gilbert, Director of Brand Strategy for the Cavaliers and Anthony Curis, co-founder of Detroit-based gallery Library Street Collective, is also believed to be the first of its kind in professional sports. As one of the most respected contemporary artists working today, Arsham straddles the line between art, architecture and performance. His singular aesthetic evokes a playfulness; inspired by everyday experiences or common objects, Arsham blurs the boundaries of perception and expectation.
