“Collinwood Unveiled” is Arts Collinwood’s big 2009 fundraiser, a progressive, diverse, art-centric party that is also an intimate evening at several of our unique homes. 
The Feast of The Assumption, a religious celebration benefiting Holy Rosary Church, kicks off Thursday and runs through Sunday. There will be live music, Italian food and rides. 
Over the Rhine may not be a household name but their evocative, earthy songwriting and impassioned delivery will stay with you long after the music ends. Just ask the crowds who packed the Evans last year for their Cain Park debut. 
Art House is proud to partner with the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament through TICKETS Fore CHARITY, a fundraising program designed to generate revenue for local charities where PGA TOUR tournaments are held.

From CoolCleveland.com: It's extraordinarily funky, an intense hybrid of sounds and influence and a beast in terms of virtuosity. It's a band called Eclectica — talk about truth in advertising! — and the band's Streaming Video Soul is flexibly adventurous at the absolute least. Featuring Julliard alum/ violin "child prodigy" Tracy Silverman and 5–time Grammy Award winning drummer Roy "Futureman" Wooten (of Bela Fleck & The Flecktones), Eclectica buoys their tunes with fat grooves, sing-along choruses and incredibly inventive jams. Make no mistake: the trio has a wide appeal; and yet their sound is likely to draw in fans of Dave Matthews Band just as easily as it does more sophisticated alt-jazz types who like Medeski Martin & Wood. 
Old Brooklyn Brooklyn Centre All Access Home Tour Walk+Roll Cleveland and the Old Brooklyn Community Development Corp are bringing cycling and walking to a cool "All Access Home and Bicycle Tour" this Sat 7/18.

Tix are $10/day or $15 for the weekend. Go to your local Dave's Market for BOGO free ticket offer. 
Japan-based illustrator Simon Oxley is not a cartoonist, but rather a brilliant artist with a truly comic sense of humor. He has created thousands of whimsical illustrations, yet most of the world over, there is a particular one that is iconic to millions. (And for which, we must note, he was paid a grand sum of less than seven bucks.) The image? The Twitter bird.

Drawn and Quartered was an unqualified success!! CONGRATS to Deb Steytler, Adam Pate, Roby MacDougall, Larry Zuzik, Jeff Suntala, Jack Flotte and the rest of the crew for making it such an event. But don't take my word for it; read this stirring account from examiner.com:
Figure drawing as a spectator sport? It's never been tried but on Saturday, June 6th, 2009 at the Asterisk Gallery in Tremont, four established figure and drawing groups will meet up and draw against time and each other for the amusement of an engaged audience. Costumed models and dancers will be drawn live by competitive artists vying for praise and prizes. The disciplines will range from quick gestures to a 90-minute portrait (run concurrently.)

This is a cool event that Jack Flotte is participating in. The Oberlin Pottery Co-op is hosting an "Empty Bowls" chili cook-off to benefit the Oberlin Food Pantry and raise awareness about hunger in the community. Local potters have donated bowls, and restaurants including Black River and the Feve have donated chili for a picnic in Tappan Square with live music. Choose a bowl, fill it with chili, enjoy a meal, and keep the bowl as a reminder that there is always an empty bowl somewhere. Suggested donation $10.

FILMS FROM THE 33RD CIFF MAKING THEIR DEBUT AT THE CEDAR LEE
Fashion Forward: Caring for Your Textiles Now for the Future.jpg)
The Released will air on Frontline/PBS, Tuesday, April 28th at 9pm ET. This documentary promises to be as powerful and disturbing as The New Asylums, also from Mead Street Films, where we saw seriously mentally ill men in cages receiving “therapy” and being shuttled back and forth between a maximum security prison in Ohio and the state’s hospital for the criminally insane. And we came to understand the genuine complexity of their situations and yearned for more equally complex and humane responses. The Released follows some of the same men featured in the first film who were subsequently returned “to the community” — but more often to the street — and in some cases have ended up back in prison. 
Extra Golden was formed rather casually in May of 2004 when Ian Eagleson, Alex Minoff and Otieno Jagwasi began fiddling with each other's compositions in an apartment in the Buru Buru neighborhood of Nairobi. For rhythmic inspiration, the trio used isolated drum tracks by Onyango Wuod Omari that Eagleson had recorded earlier that year.
April 26th is THE LAST DAY for this astonishingly beautiful exhibition in Canton, Kimono as Art: The Landscapes of Itchiku Kubota (1917–2003). Kimono are treated as brilliantly textured canvases celebrating the exquisite beauty of nature. About 25 kimono placed side by side portray the changing seasons of autumn and winter in a Symphony of Light. The San Diego Times praised it as “the best exhibit of the year”. 
Last month, artists Michael Di Liberto and Sunia Boneham moved into a two-story, three-bedroom house in Cleveland's Collinwood neighborhood, where about 220 homes out of 5,000 sit vacant and boarded up. They lined their walls with Ms. Boneham's large, neon-hued canvases, turned a spare bedroom into a graphic-design studio and made the attic a rehearsal space for their band, Arte Povera.
Come out to the Euclid Sports Plant on Saturday, April 25th, for some roller derby action.

Join us to celebrate with an evening of awards, live music, great food and a chance to mingle with the movers and shakers in Northeast Ohio's arts community. 
Composers through the ages have enjoyed depicting all sorts of climatic conditions in the concert hall and opera house. Think of the famous storms Beethoven and Rossini concocted or the paeans to nature evoked by everyone from Vivaldi and Strauss to Stravinsky and Britten.
