the project
the steps
- Meet with Ward 1 Councilman Joe Jones ----already completed. He supports the project particularly for Kerruish Park.
- Meet with the Harvard Community Services Center Executive Director---already completed.
- Obtain Permit to use the three parks via the City of Cleveland.
- Obtain bids for rental equipment: stage, tents, tables, chairs, porta potties.
- Recruit volunteers (already have few)
- Contract with musicians, artists, ethnic dancers, and security.
- Market to Vendors and Food trucks
- Complete marketing flyer and release via social media and email blast***this will be tricky step, because the project can only move forward for all 3 parks if the funds are secured.
why we're doing it
I LOVE a free music festival! And so does many of the people in my community. There are a bunch of high-quality family-friendly events around town in the more higher profile neighborhoods around town. I want to highlight three hidden jewels as well as local talent in Cleveland. I've organized similar events through my work as a community organizer and hope to be able to present a viable, entertaining, and safe event for my neighbors.
From attending several meetings within the City of Cleveland, one thing is crystal clear----Minority artists, primarily African-American and Latino have voiced their concerns that there is great disparity within the City of Cleveland related to racial divide per engaging/hiring minority artists and musicians. Many artists and musicians have left the City of Cleveland seeking better opportunities. These events create opportunities for minority artists, and it is our hope they will continue to use their talents and gifts within their hometown, Cleveland, Ohio.
Residents enjoy attending free events such as these in their own backyard. They can walk to the events, and we have seen residents attend events such as these even during rainstorms. Vendors have the opportunity to sell their goods and services, and it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the talent within the City of Cleveland as well as provide economic opportunities for individuals under the artistic umbrella.
