What are the dates for IngenuityFest this year?

Due to current restrictions on large gatherings, the Ingenuity Family will not meet in person for IngenuityFest 2020, originally planned for September 25-27. However, Ingenuity is pleased to partner with 48 Hour Virtual Music Fest CLE on that same weekend to bring you Virtually INGenious. On those days, we’ll welcome 48 bands, artists, performers, and creatives will join us on Facebook Live to bring live performances to your living room.

Stay tuned for an event link, schedule, and more information!

How do I find you?

We are located at 5401 Hamilton Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44114 in the St. Clair-Superior neighborhood, however, operating hours are changing due to the COVID-19 health crisis. Please call or email us to find out when we will be in the space.

How do I apply for/get involved with IngenuityFest?

Applications for vendors (corporate, artisan, food) can be found here. Band, artist/exhibitor, and maker applications are here.

Where else can I show my art or perform?

Ingenuity hosts many events year-round, including The Bal, for which we are always looking for artists and performers. The application for artists and exhibitors can be found here. If you have submitted an application for any of our previous events, your application is kept on file so that we can reference back if we think there is something you’d be right for.

When else are you open?

We run programs year-round! Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, every Thursday, The Ingeneers meet to build and brainstorm. We also invite friends and neighbors to join in on fun peer-to-peer learning, networking, and business development through lecture-style seminars and panels during our various Ignite! events. To stay up-to-date on what’s going on, join our email list, and check out our calendar! Call or email us to find out about current operating hours during the COVID-19 health crisis.
