Ingenuity Fest

An infant festival, just the second year, featuring technology and arts in Cleveland will be held this weekend downtown. Last year was a huge success, but this year has been plagued by some budget issues. The “bigger & better” mantra is being blasted about town, so we will have to see if they can pull it off. It is truly an interesting idea, and would be great for Cleveland if it could really take off.

Bootsie and I will be doing our parts. Bootsie is taking part in an arts performance on July 14th. AVAX, Audio Visual Arts Xperience, is a combined effort of 6 fine artists, 6 graffiti artists and the music of Tap It, Inc. Each artist rotates around 12 canvases to mix their art together and create 12 separate pieces. It sounds like an awesome event – and I will be there to support and cheer her on. I’ll try to see as much of the festival as I can and report back – beware the festival's website though, it is woefully hard to navigate and glean information from.
