We have a lot to be proud of. The Ashtabula Art Center’s Tikkanen Prize is substantial ($15K) and given to two works– an abstract and a realistic work. At Beck Center, area playwright Eric Coble premieres a new dystopian “fast-paced comedy that examines what happens when profit-driven healthcare loses sight of humanity.” BlueWater Chamber Orchestra opens its season with a musical awakening. The Wild & Scenic Film Festival celebrates climate resiliency, while the Chagrin Film Fest offers six days of diverse films.
We are best when we are engaged as citizens. The Happy Dog Forum takes on the affordability crisis, and the UUC’s Forums That Matter looks at why we’re so politically divided. Ursuline Gallery opens a show of area women artists. And we remind you that voter registration closes 10/5 and early voting starts 10/6. The City Club talks about the resurgence of indie bookstores. Parma’s All Faiths Pantry presents Carlos Jones to raise money for food for seniors in need. Let’s do our best.
