“This is about elevating and amplifying the voices of Cleveland artists,” said Vince Robinson, co-creator of the festival and founder of Larchmere Arts. “We wanted to create a space for our community to experience art in all its forms — from gallery walls to poetry slams, from African drumming to documentary film.”
The local youth writing nonprofit, which was founded in 2010, served 5,600 kids last year.
The See Our Light project recruited residents to share stories and used digital fabrication technology to transform those stories into an art exhibit. The exhibit will eventually move to the neighborhood's Fab House, a digital makerspace to come.
