The Edward E. Parker Museum of Art (EEPMOA) is happy to announce that we will be hosting the 14th annual Collard Green Cook-off, Arts & Music Festival. The festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 21, from 1:00 to 6:00pm at the Creative Arts Complex, located at 13240 Euclid Avenue in East Cleveland. This festival is free to the public, although there will be a charge for those who wish to sample cook-off entries. Please join us as we celebrate the arts, family and community. Everyone is invited.

The festival features a collard green cook-off where contestants compete to make the tastiest collard-green-infused dish. Previous entries include collard green quiche, soup and wraps. In addition to the cook-off, there will be live gospel and jazz musical performances, free face painting, a fashion show, an historical African drumming performance, and a chalk festival for children of all ages.

On October 5, Dr. James Foy will present EEPMOA’s Alternative Health Fair from 10:00 to 4:00pm. For a nominal fee, attendees can see practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines. Chiropractic, acupressure, ionic foot detox, and reflexology are just a few of the disciplines offered. The Alternative Health Fair is about relaxing and restoring balance mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Vendors will be set up at both events, selling artwork, clothes, fragrances and jewelry. Please call 216.389.6152 or 216.851.6910 to reserve vendor space or if you have questions for Dr. Foy or Ed Parker.

Our recent Intergenerational Art program produced some impressive work, with students ranging in age from two years old to 78 years young. As a result, we plan to develop similar programming in the near future. The self-portraits on this page are examples of student work from the class.
