“IngenuityFest of Art and Technology.” One of the best things about this event is its location on the lower level of the Veterans Memorial Bridge which most of us know as the Detroit-Superior Bridge. This 3-day event will transform the bridge into a European-feeling street of visual art, technological innovation, music, live performances, and food. The artistic endeavors at Ingenuity are meant to push the boundaries of what we know as art (ever hear of Squonk Opera?), and you may feel yourself being pulled into the art, and becoming part of an exhibit. In the secret world of the old trolleys, the site of IngenuityFest is the perfect place for a street party where everyone’s trying something new and showing off their stuff. Go to http://IngenuityCleveland.com to really get a feel for what this festival has to offer on Fri 9/16 from 5PM-1AM, Sat 9/17 from 12PM-1AM, and Sun 9/18 from 12-5PM.
