The Labyrinth


Art, live acoustic music, interactive games, networking, spoken word
performances, food, and an opportunity to mingle and create with
some of Cleveland’s most beautiful people. All of this can be
found at Cleveland’s latest social installment, The Labyrinth. As you
enter you are encompassed by the larger than life murals and paintings
of featured artists. Following the trail of color and creativity,
guests often find themselves lost in a maze of rooms each with its
own intimate appeal.

Spend an evening lounging comfortably and listening to the organic sounds of
an mbira being expertly plucked by weathered thumbs. As thumb drums, djembes
and guitar riffs naturally vibe to form an impromptu band, poets sprinkle
rhymes and prose into the mix.

Feeling creative? This is the place to do what your mama would have tanned
your hide for, paint and write on the walls. Imagine, a room covered, floor
to ceiling, with paint, words, and sketches. A room where a young
woman dressed in her best, finds herself dripping paint and creating art,
lost in her own creative flow.


Located at 138th & Harvard Avenue, The Labyrinth is offered once a month by
Jimmie Woody and Umoja Arts Inc..  The next Lab event will be held on 
Januarary 29.  At 9pm, the curious are welcome to explore the mysteries of 
The Lab for
just $5 and by the way bring a bottle for the house.
See you there!
