PEACE Pops is a quarterly celebration of art and community. The last Friday of January, April, July and October, we invite the community into our building to tour open studios, listen to live music, participate in hands-on art making and a variety of other activities to keep your creative spirit flourishing. It is a special way in which we can connect our community with our member organizations and artists – like Lake Erie Ink, ARTFUL, Singers’ Club of Cleveland, Robin VanLear & more!
This event is free and open to the public. Free and paid snacks and refreshments will be available.
Details for our October PEACE Pops will be coming soon, but here's a look at what our last PEACE Pops featured:

Zine/Comic Making with Od from Lake Erie Ink

Jarod “Od” Perry-Richardson is a Creative Teaching Artist at Lake Erie Ink. Beginning his time at LEI as a volunteer, Od eventually joined the LEI family as a teacher. As a graduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art Od brings his artistic experience and love of the arts to the table. When he isn’t busy teaching or drawing, Od can be found at one of Cleveland’s many concert venues. He believes that visual arts and creative writing are invaluable expressive outlets for which the youth can channel their creativity and let it burst out in all directions.
