Your Wednesday To Do List

Art on the Streets Cincinnati is a new local initiative to encourage performance and art in public spaces across the city. The group’s initial efforts will unleash dancers, singers, painters, musicians and other artists to parks and sidewalks during the World Choir Games (July 4-14) to welcome visitors (up to 90,000 of ‘em) and get locals in the arty spirit. Art on the Streets hopes to continue this public creative effort long after the Games, as well. Discover more about the group (and public performance rules) tonight at Know Theater. An informational and planning meeting is set to begin at 7:30 p.m., so grab a drink at Know’s bar and learn how you can participate in making Cincinnati and even more lively arts scene. Email ArtsCincy@gmail.com to RSVP. Mayerson JCC’s Summer Cinema Series continues tonight with two episodes from the Israeli comedy television series Arab Labor (Avoda Aravit). Referred to as the Palestinian Seinfeld, the series follows Arab-Israeli journalist Amjad, a hapless but good-hearted man who neurotically tries to conform with both Arab and Jewish expectations and his one-of-a-kind family. Screenings are from 1-3 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Tickets are $10 ($8 for JCC members). Joseph M. Schuster will discuss and sign his debut novel, The Might Have Been at 7 p.m. at Joseph-Beth Cincinnati. From St. Louis, Mo. Schuster presents a novel about the consequences of chasing an unattainable dream, regret and redemption. And don’t forget free weekly events: Party in the Park features music from 3 Day Rule 5-10 p.m. and happy hour specials ‘til 6:30; Clifton Cultural Arts Center presents Wednesdays on the Green with Tracy Walker, kids activities, on-site food vendors and more beginning at 7 p.m.; Reggae Wednesday brings jammin’ to Fountain Square, 7-10 p.m. Tonight’s band is Lucky 7.
