Ingenuity Cleveland Fundraiser and Artist Vending Opportunity in Partnership with Wonder Cleveland


Ingenuity Cleveland has been proud to support Wonder Cleveland from its inception as Winter Wonder Cleveland! In 2020, the inaugural event took over IngenuityLabs and provided resident artists with the opportunity to contribute toward exhibits, helping to pilot the project. We are so excited to see the project grow and to share details about our partnership in 2022 and beyond!

We are proud to kick off the spring season with a call for artists and creatives to exhibit at Wonder Cleveland's spring open house and fundraiser in their Mentor location at the Great Lakes Mall. Wonder Cleveland will host artists to vend for FREE on Saturday, March 26th in the evening for a two-hour special event.

Brite Winter Festival 2022 and OH MY the Art!


This past Saturday, thousands of attendees showed up for Brite Winter Festival, a music and art festival which features more than 30 performances and an array of breathtaking art created under the theme of Lucky 13. Each year, Ingenuity hosts Brite for a series of workshops at IngenuityLabs which generate tons of interactive art pieces built collaboratively by the community and our own Ingenuity Ingeneers. This year, 13 Installations symbolized tradiions of Luck and Gratitude from around the world!
Grateful to be back at Main Avenue celebrating in our iconic spot under the bridge with an Interactive Grat-o-Meter designed by Randy Crider, Steve Manchir and Ross Bochnke; Ice Eyes of Providence by Jess Sheeran and the Ingeneers, and Lucky the Elephant, designed by the Ingeneers and decked out by Melissa Moon.
