About Me

J.B. Solomon Unlimited is a cultural organization based in Alliance, Ohio. We are dedicated to promoting and encouraging the arts and arts-related activities and events in and around Alliance. J.B. Solomon Unlimited is also dedicated to furthering debate and discussion about revitalizing downtown Alliance through the arts and through the presence of local businesses on and around Main Street. In November 2006, we successfully hosted our Storytelling Spectacular in the abandoned G.C. Murphy Co. department store downtown (You can see pictures from and information about that event in our blog and in the photos section.).J.B. Solomon Editions, an offshoot of the organization, will release its first collection of poetry on July 21. In the Hardship and the Hoping: Poems of Northeast Ohio will be available at-cost from the printer and as a free electronic download. We will be having a reading to mark the book's publication at 7 p.m. on Aug. 11 at Jupiter Studios in downtown Alliance. Check back soon for information on ordering a copy of the book and to learn about other associated goings-on.
