    MAMA LIA Artwalk - Lakewood, Ohio

    MAMA LIA Artwalk

    Friday, October 5th, 2007
    MAMA (Madison Avenue Merchants Association) and LIA (Lakewood is Art) are hosting the first Art Walk along Madison Avenue in Lakewood, Oh.
    6pm - 10pm

    Newly designated as another one of Cleveland's 'art districts' (I will not get mired in discussion that not EVERYTHING has to be classified as a 'district' or 'zone' or whatever, they can just be places that people like to go to, no matter what sort of 'masterplan' snake-oil is being sold) Lakewood, Ohio is celebrating it's arts and culture with the tried and true method of art walk exposure. I am actually pretty excited to wander around my homestead and seeing what the neighborhood has to offer as I look to relocate and re-atttempt a gallery/studio space.
