This group brings to Haiti transferrable lessons learned from Katrina.  HEVP has been conceived, organized and put into action by New Orleans residents, supporters and rebuilders, and Haitians on the ground, most with longstanding ties to New Orleans, to create a model for recovery.

You will have a chance to bid on art from some amazing regional, and international artists including – Keith Marlowe, Amy Casey, Dan Tranberg, Julius Lyle, Dana Depew, Bridget Caswell, Sunia Boneham, Paul Sydorenko, Jacob Wesley Lang, David Wilder, Tary Yu, Petroucha Moise to name a few!

Mystery of Two Winter Residency at Arts Collinwood

3

It’s been a busy year for the Mystery of Two camp. After releasing a self titled LP on Exit Stencil Recordings we hit the road playing the Midwest and East Coast including this years CMJ fest in NYC. Their travels have found them back in Cleveland prepping new material and working on various video projects, on of which will be debuting over the course of these events.

With the winter settling in their decision to approach Art’s Collinwood about a residency came from not only the desire to play and play often, but also as a reaction to the often draining doldrums of February in Cleveland.  As we all know, it’s cold and winter starts to drag on,  so having a series of free shows with friends is their attempt to fight the tedium the best they know how,  which one could say is loudly.  This  is their collective encouragement to have some winter fun.  Join us as we make our way toward this first spring of a new decade. All events below will be at Arts Collinwood.
Doors at 9pm – Free – DJ sets early and late from the bands
Visual Art by Ryan Weitzel / Jeff Deasy / Nick Riley of Mystery of Two in the Cafe at Arts Collinwood
Debut of the new Mystery of Two video for Mornings Call Filmed by Jon Mancinetti at Arts Collinwood
