It’s hard to keep it all in perspective.

Gaze upon the listings below. One of the biggest weeks of the year for local makers, museums and merchants is upon us. There’s NO EXCUSE for not using the suggestions we’ve curated to grab the bulk of your holiday purchases directly from locals, allowing your dollars to circulate in the region, keeping artists’ dreams alive, and finding high-quality, handmade gifts that just aren’t available online. So visit one of the many holiday markets, pop-ups and open houses this week, score some tix to a local production this month, and safely enjoy the best our region has to offer. And of course, tix to our upcoming David Bowie celebration in January make a great holiday gift.

Mansfield Frazier’s daughter Ashley Smith has started producing video interviews for CoolCleveland, and this week she talks with Walter Patton, founder of Create Art Not Violence, who hosts Ghetto Therapy for those coping with trauma such as the aftermath of gun violence or fatherless homes. And CoolCleveland editor Anastasia Pantsios offers a dark commentary on Ohio’s uncool post-Roe future. But you can help create our future. Right here. Right now.
