September 9, 201113 yr Cool event: Tour of Downtown and Ohio City with the Mayor. Plus reception at City Hall. And only 10 bucks. Rediscovering Cleveland: A Retro-Ethnic Trolley Adventure Wednesday, September 21, 2011 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM (ET) "Please join Mayor Frank G. Jackson and Cuyahoga Community College on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 for a Lolly the Trolley excursion. The Rediscovering Cleveland tour will take us back in time and tickle our brains with little known facts about Cleveland's ethnic heritage. The evening will begin at 5:30 with a reception in Cleveland City Hall Rotunda and a special exhibit by the Western Reserve Historical Society featuring images and information about the City's early inhabitants. At 6:15, we will board the Trolleys for a 1 hour tour of downtown and the near west side. Our guides will share the history of the various ethnic groups that settled in these areas and discuss their migration patterns throughout our region." http://tourcleveland.eventbrite.com/
September 15, 201113 yr Today is Showcase in the Circle: http://www.freshwatercleveland.com/inthenews/showcaseincircle091511.aspx I really need to update this page soon...so sorry.
September 20, 201113 yr Cleveland selected to host the 2017 World Congress on Art Deco. At the 2011 World Congress on Art Deco in Rio de Janerio, delegates from the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies (ICADS) selected Cleveland to host the 2017 World Congress. The 20th Century Society USA (www.20thcs.org) nominated Cleveland and made the presentation. We tried for the 2015 Congress, but were edged out by Shanghai, China. But the ICADS delegates were so impressed with the Cleveland proposal that they selected Cleveland for 2017...never in the history of ICADS have they selected a Congress city six years in advance. World Congresses attract Art Deco enthusiasts from around the world. We now have six years to assemble a strong group of volunteers to show Cleveland to the world!
September 21, 201113 yr Congratulations! This sounds like an awesome event that is coming to Cleveland.
September 21, 201113 yr they dont even have to ask for me to volunteer for something like this. I would be the first in line. Love this news.
September 21, 201113 yr wow that is some competition -- congrats!! maybe to get an idea of this event, here is the itinerary of a smaller previous art deco conference in cleveland in 2006: http://www.adsw.org/adsw-announce/archive/0034.html and here is an example of cle industrial deco history: rose iron works http://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/13 http://www.cleveland.com/arts/index.ssf/2010/08/renowned_rose_iron_works_going.html
September 24, 201113 yr Paying homage to the Hippodrome Theater Top floor of the parking garage on the site of the Hipp, Oct 8... Hipp deck: Pop-up rooftop performance venue & book release party http://www.gcbl.org/events/hipp-deck-pop-rooftop-performance-venue-book-release-party-10-08-2011
September 24, 201113 yr Wouldn't it be nice if this was restored by 2017? Not very probable is my guess. http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,26247.0.html
September 28, 201113 yr ^cool. mcmick, again, Congrats. Do you know what nailed it for Cleveland getting this event? What was in the proposal? Also, I noticed that your Cleve visit in 2006 does not appear that it included Fenn Tower, the Coast Guard Station or Landmark Towers. Those should be must-sees for 2017. Maybe these places (well, 2 of them for sure) can get some TLC before the big day? Oh, was there a San Francisco visit in 2010? The 20th Century website (www.20thcs.org) still is describing the itinerary for the trip (as though it hasn't happened yet) and there are no pictures. Unless there's something I'm not seeing, does the site need updated?
October 2, 201113 yr ^What nailed it for Cleveland? 1. The proposed theme of "artists, designers, and craftsmen." Previous Congresses tend to focus on architecture, so this is a novel concept. 2. Our plan to involve students. We're going to need lots of help from educators and administrators here (hint...anyone out there?) 3. Excellent local cultural institutions like the CMA and WRHS that can complement our plans. 4. The fact that a World Congress on Art Deco hasn't been in the US since 2005 (New York.) The 10 page, full color proposal is a 12.3 MB pdf file, and is to big to attach here. And I can't figure out how to separate the individual pages on my MacBook, although some of the individual pages may still exceed 200KB. Of course, the 2017 Congress will include Fenn Tower, Landmark Office Towers, and the (hopefully restored) Coast Guard station. Our 2006 tour was only 4 days, and so we couldn't cover everything. [Actually the Landmark Office Towers were included in 2006, just not listed in the summary on our web site.] And yes, the volunteer charged with organizing the photos and text for our 2010 San Francisco trip is way behind. And since we're planning our Miami tour in January, probably won't get to it until next spring. Sorry!
October 7, 201113 yr Sorry, I'm slacking like crazy!

November 21, 201113 yr Cleveland International Film Festival receives $150,000 grant from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Published: Monday, November 21, 2011, 12:43 PM Updated: Monday, November 21, 2011, 1:05 PM Clint O'Connor, The Plain Dealer By Clint O'Connor, The Plain Dealer The Cleveland International Film Festival, already recognized nationally for its diversity, will increase its notoriety on that front thanks to a new $150,000 grant. The grant, from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, will run over three years beginning with next year's 36th festival, March 22 – April 1 at Tower City Cinemas. The Academy, best known for its annual Oscars presentation, already has an arrangement with the CIFF as a qualifying festival for its short films competition. The new grant will support the festival's "Focus on Filmmakers" program, with a spotlight on African American filmmakers in 2012, Latinos in 2013 and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) filmmakers in 2014, the same year Cleveland hosts the Gay Games. http://www.cleveland.com/moviebuff/index.ssf/2011/11/cleveland_international_film_f_12.html

November 22, 201113 yr ^ Sorry, I thought it was only a concert, which I haven't ever showcased, since I generally list the venue links at the bottom. Now that I see it's also a charity event, it's on the master list! Thanks for the help.

January 4, 201213 yr Join us January 8th for Cleveland's participation in the global No Pants Subway Ride! We are one of over 40 cities around the world participating this year. You can find background info and footage of past rides on the website for improv everywhere, and you can sign up on the Cleveland event page through their site or by adding "Cleveland Nopantssubwayride" as a friend on Facebook! No voyeurs allowed! Brunch with us at the Beachland, then head west in style with us as we promote pantsless passage. Keep a straight face and get everyone you know to come with us--all are welcome! http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/events/259806640751253/
January 5, 201213 yr ^You've never take the Cleveland subway to Waterloo for brunch at the Beachland? I actually hate this event. I find it incredibly awkward riding with participants; not because they have no pants, but because you have to pretend that that you don't know that they're pretending not to know that everyone is pretending not to notice the lack of pants. Kind of like watching the Queens Guard keep a straight face, even though they are wearing ridiculous outfits and surrounded by tourists. Just totally uncomfortable for me.
January 9, 201213 yr Wouldn't having a subway be a requirement for this? Maybe they're just going to a Subway for food.
January 9, 201213 yr BUMP: Can I get a clean up to get this thread back to one page? EDIT: check out all the upcoming Asiatown events this month...Payne Ave will be rockin http://www.asiatowncleveland.com/events.asp
