Don’t let the elements get you down
Warm up with a cup of hot chocolate at CMNH’s MLK celebration with free admission. Generate some heat at the Transformer Station while cross-cultural multi-instrumentalists Larry & Joe lead sing-alongs and storytelling. Rub together Cleveland’s avant-garde No Exit and St. Paul’s Zeitgeist and out comes a flock of world premieres at Drinko Hall, BOP STOP and Heights Arts. Catch up with art collector David Burke as CoolCleveland contributor Bruce Checefsky investigates.
Saxophonist Justin Tibbs heats up the Happy Days Lodge, while Dark Wave Dance Cave gets gloomy and goth. Be a part of Ray Caspio’s 27-hour duration performance at CPT and come and go as you wish (just be sure to wear a mask). Experience transgender fairy tales at Waterloo Arts, celebrate the life of Crazy Marvin at Beachland, and watch comedian Mike Polk inventing twisted tales based on historic Cleveland photos.
Learn how to grow a lush field of lavender, socialize with fellow cyclists at BikeCleveland’s annual gig, and speak out at the open mic storytelling workshop hosted by Wandering Aesthetics. Stop by Melt Bar and Grilled’s final garage sale for memorable local memorabilia, read the real history behind the state of Ohio and our vice presidential legacy from CoolCleveland columnist C. Ellen Connally, and learn the impact of vouchers on public education. Just don’t get so comfortable that you don’t want to venture out and engage with our community.
