Cleveland puts on a world class film festival each and every year. The Cleveland International Film Festival is one of the best in the nation. There will be films there from around the world. If you have never heard of this event, then you are living under a rock and need to get out more. This may be the only chance for you to see some of these great films. The festival runs March 19-29 at Tower City. I highly recommend taking the rapid and avoiding parking headaches. There are plenty of new places to eat downtown as well, so make a day (or night) of it and attend at least once. This is the 33rd year of the event, and it just keeps getting better. Plexus will be hosting a networking night meeting at Stages at the Cleveland Playhouse on Tuesday March 10 at 6pm. Register to come and you can see clips of some of the great films being screened at this years festival.
Wednesday March 4, there is an important meeting at the Applewood Center. It is a forum for discussing the upcoming ward redistricting coming up this year. Clevelanders voted it in, so come to the meeting at 7pm and make your voice heard! The Applewood Center is at the corner of Daisy and W 25th.
This Saturday is a meeting on Environmental Justice. It will be held at the Levin College Atrium at CSU (17th and Euclid). The event starts at 10am.
Thursday March 12 from 5-8 is the opening reception for the Red Dot Project’s members exhibition. It will be at the University Hospitals Humphrey Gallery. Come by and see what great art talent we have in the region. Speaking of art, two other events of note:
RX at Bela Duby (13321 Madison Ave) opens this Friday, March 6 at 6pm. This show looks to be interesting. Another is the show at Local Girl Gallery (16106 Detroit Ave) that opens April 4. It is called Robots, owls, bees and birds and look like a great indie style show. I am excited about it.
Mark your calendar for the Green Dream on April 17. We will be displaying at this sustainability event at Beachwood. From the Green Dream website:
The Green Dream Eco-Friendly Showcase will be held at the Beachwood Community Center on April 17, 2009 between 1 and 7 pm. Admission is free. For directions, click here.
The Green Dream is a social entrepreneurship enterprise that was born in the Marketing Education class at Beachwood High School. Beginning in 2007, Greg Perry’s Marketing class embarked on a socially and environmentally responsible project that has helped to change the way people think, the actions they take, and how business operates. Using the Junior Achievement Company Program as their platform, The Green Dream is showing off what businesses and organizations are doing to make Ohio “Green”.
Come visit us and learn more about sustainability in a free learning environment. Besides, you have been looking for an excuse to go to the Cheesecake factory for dessert.
