The day may come when the phrase "Madison Crawl" means something other than dragging oneself from bar to bar along Lakewood's thoroughly stocked Madison Avenue. After a promising debut last fall, the Lakewood ArtWalk is back this week, a collaboration between Lakewood Is Art and the Madison Avenue Merchants Association, with help from a multitude of businesses along that road, including some bars. But with galleries including the Pop Shop and WobbleFoot, and Vance Music Studios, plus venues like Bela Dubby, the fabled road has much more to speak for it than beer. The Spring Lakewood ArtWalk is from 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday, May 17. For information, call 216.521.2894.

To say you can find poetry grinding up and down the major thoroughfares of the city sounds like some appreciative metaphor for machinery - the kind of line Mike Salinger might think of, and then just toss away because it's so obvious and crappy. The reality is that a collaboration between The Lit and RTA and the American Institute of Graphic Arts has announced the third round of "Moving Minds," the program that puts placards featuring the work of local poets and graphic artists on busses and trains all over town. Winners this year are Dianne Borsenik, Deidre D. Brooks, Kathleen Cerveny, Lacie Clark, Geoffrey Landis, Jim Mayer, Philip Metres, Jill Sell, dan smith, Mary Turzillo, Timothy West and K. Leigh Whitehouse. The placards will be unveiled early in the summer at a date to be determined. For information, call 216.694.0000.

COSE (the Council of Small Enterprises) Arts Network has announced finalists for its Arts Business and Innovation Awards and will recognize the winners at an awards ceremony from 6-9 p.m. Thursday, May 15 at Park Lane Villa in University Circle. It had 36 applicants for prizes in three categories. Since it's COSE, the awards recognize not simply the art and the artist or company, but business practices and career sustenance. Categories include the Cleveland Arts Prize Shared Category - which goes to someone who has already won an arts prize and has also sustained a career through sound business practice (finalists include Groundworks Dancetheater, author Mary Doria Russel, composer Loris Chobanian, poet George Bilgere and photographer Linda Butler); Artist Entrepreneur category, for an artist or group that has shown that spirit (finalists include Interactive Works of Art, Prelude2Cinema, Peninsula Arts Academy, Fairplay Stonecarvers and TAP Studios/Gallery M); and the Business Patron Category, which recognizes businesses that have formed creative partnerships with local artists (winners include Studio Graphique and ZeroLandfill.) For information, call 216.592.2472. — Michael Gill
