One of the things I enjoy about Clue Into Cleveland is when someone offers to share their CLE experiences with me. So, when my friend Elizabeth asked if she could write about the Botanical Garden’s Orchid Mania show, I immediately said yes. You may remember Elizabeth from her previous Clue Into Cleveland contributions: People-Watching Spots in Coventry and Celebrating…
From Sparx City Hop to IngenuityFestival, Clevelanders enjoy celebrating their city outdoors. Of course, most of these festivals happen when it’s warmer outside – the summer and fall see the bulk of them. When winter rolls around, it means it’s usually time to escape inside from the blustery cold. The…
If my love for Cleveland Indians Snow Days was any indication, I am very fond of winter. While it’s not my favorite season (Fall holds that title), I like it a lot more than allergy-ridden Spring. However, with all the snow and ice this past week, there have been moments…
It would be impossible for me to write just one post about the Cleveland Museum of Art and successfully cover all of its exhibitions and collections. Sure, there are volumes of books dedicated to this city treasure which are capable of doing it justice. However, if I tried fitting the entirety of the internationally celebrated museum in one entry, it’d be too…
Clevelanders have to find some sort of enjoyment out of our winters — even if it’s somewhat begrudgingly — because our 5+ months of cold weather are fairly long and snowy. Be it sledding, snow ball fights, or just warming yourself by a fire, there are plenty of nice…
September through December is hands down my favorite time of year in Cleveland. The air is brisk, crisp, and still bearable; there’s usually not too much snow; and the changing of the leaves reflected off the always-beautiful lake is an amazing site. If that weren’t enough, it’s also when my trifecta of favorite holidays…
UPDATE: The 2011 Sparx City Hop takes place on Sept. 10, 2011. More info about the 2011 neighborhood hop can be found on Downtown Cleveland Alliance’s website. Read on for a review of last year’s Sparx City Hop. Saturday was the Sparx City Hop. As I mentioned last week, I headed down…
Earlier today, I wrote about this Friday’s Shore Cultural Collective Concert in downtown Euclid. Tonight, I wanted to focus on another arts-related event this weekend – the 2010 Sparx City Hop. On Saturday from 11am – 11pm, the Downtown Cleveland Alliance will host the Sparx City Hop festival throughout downtown Cleveland and its…
This month’s Cleveland Sketch Crawl gathered in Ohio City for the Open Air in Market Square summer series. As usual, it was another great opportunity to sketch the city’s limitless assortment of interesting architecture and people. Regardless of whether you come armed with a sketchbook or just want to do some shopping…
Each month, the Cleveland Sketch Crawl provides artists, photographers, and sketching enthusiasts of all skill levels with the opportunity to get out in the city, learn about Cleveland and draw some really amazing stuff. The first Sketch Crawl I attended was in April at the Carnegie West Library. Unfortunately, due to…
