The stage isn’t the only place to be entertained – the entire district from North to South will be alive with street performances through visual art, demonstrations, and other performance art! You may even see some familiar faces of alumni that made an impact on the Short North Arts District over the years!

Now in its fifth year, Summer Spray is a collaborative mural-making event that will showcase the live creation of a dynamic 1,300-square-foot mural wall over the span of the summer.
