On July 28, Arts Collinwood closed down Waterloo Road and we celebrated the arts on a beautiful summer day.This year's Waterloo Arts Festival was the biggest yet. The event continues to grow each year, both with the number of attendees and activities going on.
This year, many new events really expanded the event. Blogapalooza occurred in the tavern at the Beachland Ballroom. The bloggers had a great range of music and comedy to enjoy throughout the day. Also, Joan of Art organized a great arts show just next to her True Art gallery. Euclid Beach Park Now expanded their programming with a Carrousel Horse carving and painting exhibit. Also, the Zaller Building hosted three different art shows inside the building along with an exhibit in the sculpture garden. In the nearby residential neighborhood, two houses in the Waterloo Village area were open for showings.
New merchants on the street also participated this year. Cafe Marika was open for its first festival. Shoparoonie installed "coming soon" signage at their new home at 15813 Waterloo Road. The ThInk gallery and tattoo shop allowed Progressive Arts Alliance to paint a Waterloo mural on their building.
The day was great and we thank everyone for coming out. Plans are already underway for next year's event. If you have a thought about the day's festivities, please let us know.
