CAL-IDAY ARTS FEST
Showcasing the artistic diversity of youth across Northeast Ohio!
The CAL-iday Arts Fest is a vibrant one-day event celebrating our partnership with Cleveland Public Library through captivating drumming performances by youth in CPL’s Drumming Program, led by Teaching Artist Malik Burks. These dynamic performances, paired with spoken word poetry from Langston Hughes, Tupac Shakur, and Maya Angelou, highlight the creativity and talent of young artists from across Northeast Ohio.
In addition to these performances, the event features the ArtWorks Marketplace, where youth entrepreneurs will showcase and sell their handmade creations. Attendees can also engage in our Open Mic, offering a platform for community involvement and artistic expression.
The CAL-iday Arts Fest embodies the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning’s mission to inspire creativity, teach entrepreneurship, and foster collaboration and civic engagement. Stay tuned for more exciting activities!
