The Weapons of Mass Creation Fest is the premier art, design, and music event in the Midwest. Now in its fourth year, 1,200+ attendees will descend upon Cleveland for three days in August to see 20 speakers, 20 designers, and over 30 bands. Creative professionals, entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, students, and fans will gather to learn, get inspired, collaborate, network, and celebrate together.
Founded by Go Media designer and partner Jeff Finley, Weapons of Mass Creation is a young grassroots movement to inspire and enable the creative mind. Finley, along with collaborators Jesse Sloan, Joseph Hughes and Todd Gauman, believe that good things happen when ideas and talents are shared within the community, and that this mentality manifests itself in the lifestyle of a Weapon of Mass Creation. Their festival, Weapons of Mass Creation, celebrates individuals who defy the hand they’re dealt, make something out of nothing and live to create.
