Nancy Kukla, a fiber arts exhibitor who has participated in craft shows all over Central OH says this about Lazy Daze: “I tell everybody at other shows that you won’t be treated this well at any other festival. People at Lazy Daze go out of their way to make you feel welcome & comfortable – helping you with set up, bringing you water throughout the day, providing you with an air-conditioned oasis and even offering snacks! Grandview is a great community and Lazy Daze is a great event.”
Dana Keating Marziale, a pet pastel portrait artist, who was Best of Show at Lazy Daze 2011 said: "The Lazy Daze Festival has a relaxed neighborhood feel to it. The organizers and volunteers treat the artists really well. They are the nicest people to deal with and really make an effort to take care of the artists. I love the air conditioned oasis and the chilled water. It is a good place to be an artist."
| | | The Grandview Heights/Marble Cliff Arts (GH/MC) Council was formed in 2005 when the Grandview Library and the Grandview Parks and Recreation Department asked local residents to step forward to take over the task of organizing the Lazy Daze of Summer Festival. This annual event featuring the work of local craftspersons and artists had been presented by the Library and City since 1994.
Several individuals interested in continuing the Lazy Daze tradition, plus expanding the scope of arts-related activities in the Grandview/Marble Cliff community, agreed to lead the new group. Chief among them was Ruthanne James who became the president of the Arts Council upon its formation as a 501 (c)(3) non for profit entity.
The GH/MC Arts Council’s mission is to enrich the life of the community through experiences that promote, support, and encourage the arts, art education, and creativity.
