SUMMARY:Rooms To Let CLE Is Back in Slavic Village in a Slightly Different 
 Form
DESCRIPTION:\nSat 9/6-Sun 9/7 @ noon-6PM\nRooms To Let CLE debuted in 2014\
 , based on an interesting concept: teams of artists descended on houses in
  Slavic Village slated to be demolished and filled them with temporary exh
 ibits and installations. It drew attention to the fact that Slavic Village
  was one of the areas in the entire country hardest hit by the foreclosure
  crisis of 2010. When it came back from the pandemic in 2021\, its model h
 ad changed. It focused on putting artwork and performances into empty stor
 efronts and other empty spaces around the corner of East 55th and Broadway
 \, once upon a time the area’s “downtown\,” and filling the intersec
 tion with vendors\, artmakers and music. It had some promising elements\, 
 such as Jacci Hammer’s Sacred Sound Garden which filled shaded vacant lo
 t hidden between two buildings with art\, music and do-it-yourself activit
 ies\, but it was basically\, a neighborhood street festival along the line
 s of a smaller Waterloo Arts Fest\nA name change probably should have foll
 owed\, especially after last year’s bungling. Months prior to the late J
 une event\, it teased that it was moving into a huge building\, something 
 on the scale of the 20-year-old Ingenuity Festival — and then it announc
 ed just days before it was scheduled to occur that it was being postponed 
 until September. Come September\, it was another neighborhood street fair 
 at East 55th and Broadway.\nIt’s a little hard to tell where it’s goin
 g now although the use of what was revealed to be the Corlett Movers Build
 ing on East 55th seems to be off the table. They’re saying “In 2025\, 
 we will pivot again\, this time focusing on outdoor spaces\, including vac
 ant lots\, gardens\, and the heart of the Broadway Historic District” 
 — in other words\, something that’s already been done. Again\, it seem
 s\, artists and local organizations will set up in the street as they’ve
  done the past four years to create and sell their work. Go here to learn 
 more about ome of the artists participating.\nroomstoletcle\n[mappress map
