Get out the sunscreen, the beach umbrella, the shovels and pails – Arts Collinwood is going to the beach for a whole afternoon and evening!

The day starts with a beach clean-up (an excellent opportunity to collect found objects to enhance your sculpture) with the collaboration of  Alliance for the Great Lakes. Then, unless you’re really a pro, take in the sand-sculpting workshop at 2:00, to learn some tips and techniques, before entering the contest itself (prizes – usually plentiful, remember that the sculptors are mostly children and artists – will be announced at 6:00);  and hang around for the campfire cook-out – hot dogs, s’mores and storytelling at sunset – to wrap things up. Or choose any of these wonderful ways to appreciate our great lakefront.

Villa Angela Beach, enter from Lakeshore Blvd at E174.
