Regionally Speaking, Western Reserve Studies Symposium, Case Western Reserve University
This program discusses the SnickerFritz Cultural Arts Workshop for the Art, Inc which is a non-profit organization founded by master artist and sculptor Edward E. Parker to provide various programs that engage people in the arts for social development. Over the last 27 years Parker has developed the EEP Creative Arts Complex, which houses several businesses including his SnickerFritz Arts Gallery. His training and formal studies extend as far as Africa and Ecuador, and his art has been featured and commissioned across the country by many outstanding universities and organizations.
Additionally this program discusses the SnickerFritz Community Time Capsule Project which is an important Art and Community History initiative that documents the fast changing landscape of various local landmarks, businesses, institutions and residential neighborhoods in the City of East Cleveland. Each project partner contributes a piece of memorabilia (i.e. photographs, newspapers, magazine articles, oral histories, student research reports on the history of the city etc.) The preservation of these capsule submissions further documents the History of East Cleveland and provides a valuable community history lesson for current and future generations. The time capsule is scheduled to be reopened in 2020.
