Creativity, Technology to Be on Display as Part of IngenuityFest 2009
Despite the recent economic woes that have hit the nation, the creative minds behind arts and technology advancements in Northeast Ohio are still conceptualizing unique ideas. Two Case Western Reserve University alumni will be able to attest to that as part of the Ingenuity Festival of Art + Technology 2009.
School of Law alumnus James Levin is the festival's co-founder and executive artistic director. And this year's centerpiece event also features a university connection: Case School of Engineering alumnus Ian Charnas is the mastermind behind "Boltz."
IngenuityFest, which runs July 10-12 in downtown Cleveland, will showcase the complementary relationship between technology, arts and culture. The university community can share in the experience by purchasing tickets at 50 percent off the regular admission price. Read more.
