Lakewood Is Art Spring/Summer Events
Lakewood is Art is collaborating with several groups this upcoming season in efforts to meet the community’s cultural needs and to fulfill LIA goals of providing equity and access to the arts, providing exhibition opportunities for Lakewood-based artists, and allowing community members, both audiences and artists alike to experience the arts in unexpected places; giving us all a new perspective on the boundless possibilities of who and what art can be and where it can happen.

Walk + Roll Lakewood is Art will coordinate entertainment for this LCPI-Mainstreet event that will include professional buskers, such as stilt walkers, fire-spinners, dancers, chalk artists, etc. This event will be held on July 19, 2008.
Busking Days Busking is the practice of doing live performances in public places to entertain people, usually to solicit donations and tips. Lakewood is Art is looking at two Busking Days one in the spring and one in the fall. Lakewood Is Art is dedicated to showcasing the entire city as an art haven, and no better way than busking! Community Art Census Lakewood Is Art was founded with the belief that in a city filled with artists that small art zones make no sense. That the city is filled with artists, musicians, designers, photographers, media artists, crafts people of every description. This summer LIA will undertake the first Art Census trying to find out how many in this wonderful city take part in the arts, and working to bring them together and their art to the city and the world. Interested Artists should contact Ruth Koenigsmark at rkoenigsmark@yahoo.com
