Joan Soriano

For the past couple of summers, the Cleveland Museum of Art has hosted Ohio City Stages, a weekly summer block party that takes place in front of the Transformer Station during the month of July. Steel string bachata icon Joan Soriano, a guy who plays a genre of Dominican music that draws upon influences from Africa, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, kicks off the series tonight at 7:30 p.m., and admission is free. Vendors will be on hand to sell food and drink as well. In addition, Studio Go, the CMA's mobile art studio, will offer hands-on art-making activities, pop-up drawing classes and other family-oriented art projects. (Niesel)
