Art is a Verb: A My Town Monday Post
So there we were, driving up to Cleveland Saturday morning, hoping we’d find a parking spot. #2 daughter was already there; she’d been in Cleveland for a couple of days interning at the Cleveland Museum of Art. For 20 years, the 2nd Saturday of June has been devoted to the Parade the Circle celebration. If you’re thinking of politicos riding in old cars, waving and throwing bad candy to potential voters, you ain’t seen nothing!
Two thousand people joined in the celebration this year: musicians, dancers, stilt walkers, puppeteers, and just folks who came out to share in the magic that is Parade. This is the first time I have actually seen the Parade; I have always been in it, usually sporting a giant puppet. I was among about 70,000 other people who came out to celebrate the arts.
Parade the Circle is a living entity; it demonstrates that the arts transcend differences, and that they create connections between people who would otherwise probably never meet.
The creative energy is palpable, during the workshops that precede the event and before and during the celebration. The photo shows #2 daughter performing at Parade. Take a look at at a video, imagine yourself there, and smile. I’ll post some more photos as I have time to edit them.
My Town Monday’s main man is Travis Erwin, who, this week, writes about a county in his home state of Texas, that bears his name. Take a trip on over there to see links for sites of bloggers who live all over the place.
