If you are busy Saturday, look for the monthly bar crawl to pop up in the Flats East Bank and Ohio City later this year. $20. 1-6pm. Warehouse District. singlesvscouplesbarcrawl.com

Flats Festival of the Arts
Painters, potters, jewelers and glassmakers from Panama City Beach, Florida, to Justin, Texas, come together for this inaugural crafty weekend in the Flats. Set in one of Cleveland’s most up-and-coming hot spots, the 120-artist fair is one of the largest outdoor juried shows in the city this summer. There’s also plenty of food and entertainment if you need to take a break after browsing all of that art. $10 weekend pass. Thru Aug 21. Fri & Sat 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m., Sun 10 a.m.-5p.m. Flats East Bank. ffota.org

Scale 3
From words to mountains to bodies, three artists experiment with the theme of size in Cleveland Print Room’s latest exhibit. In Toby Kaufmann-Buehler’s VIDEOFILMOTEXT, the Midwestern videographer reinvents his family history via frame-by-frame snapshots of their writings. And Lori Kella presents grand photos of mountains as a mirror of our own ups and downs, while Jacob Koestler presents a video of a cave and explores inner and outer space. Free.

Loaded Concert Series
Perched up on the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland’s loading dock, three bands riff on the sonic art of Akron-born avant-garde Devo singer Mark Mothersbaugh. The trio of idiosyncratic acts, which includes the sublime Baltimore-based House of Lords, Cleveland’s alternative Spacebeach and Chicago’s performance art band Ono, feature a cosmic range of stellar sounds, from stomping West African rhythms, to screaming saxophones, flashy video screens and something aptly called “gospel noise.” Free, Aug. 19, 8 p.m. Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, 11400 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 216-421-8671, mocacleveland.org
