The Cleveland Museum of Art hosts the 32ndAnnual Chalk Festival A family-friendly day to enjoy sidewalk art inspired by Italian Renaissance tradition The Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) will host the 2021 Chalk Festival in person Saturday, Sep- tember 11, noon to 5 p.m., rain or shine. The festival features sidewalk paintings by profes- sional chalk artists and local community groups, families and individuals. This year, the community is invited to take part in a featured chalk drawing by artist Bruno Casiano and make it come alive with color. Participants will have an opportunity to showcase their own art on the museum's south plaza and throughout the path- ways that wind through the Fine Arts Garden and down to Wade Lagoon. Squares and boxes of chalk are available for $10 with on-site, day-of registra- tion (supplies limited). The Chalk Festival is free to visitors wishing to enjoy the artists' work and listen to live music by Outlaws I & I. Photo: David Brichford, courtesy of the Cleve- land Museum of Art.

Toledo Museum of Art celebrates new artwork TMA is celebrating a new selection of artwork installed in Gallery 1 by TMA's new curator of modern and contemporary art, Jessica Hong. The museum is also highlighting TMA staff's responses to these works of art. This week's Art Minute features Nuanced Veil by artist with staff commentary from Ijonte Hall, Social Media and Digital and Communications Specialist. "Nuanced Veil by artist Joyce Scott is one of the pieces nearest to my heart in the Toledo Museum of Art collection. Each figure tells me its own story. Scott depicts hope, triumph, sorrow, fear, and death in this piece. I see my story when I look at Nuanced Veil. Many African Americans probably recognize their story. I think of my ancestors, whose names and stories I don't know, who probably made the treacherous journey with Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad. I think of those who made it safely up north, and those who lost their lives so close to freedom." -Ijonte Hall Joyce J. Scott (born 1948, Baltimore, MD), Nuanced Veil. Seed beads, wire, and thread, 2008-17. 30 ½ x 60 in. Purchased with funds from the Florence Scott Libbey Bequest in Memory of her Father, Maurice A. Scott, by exchange, 2018.36. On view in Gallery 1.
