Surfing through local arts and culture events online can get a little gnarly, so here are five curated virtual events from talented Northeast Ohioans available this week.

The acclaimed local duo of Chris Allen and A.K. Grasha reconnected during the pandemic and began to write songs again. Rosavelt performs new tunes Thursday, August 13, at 7 p.m. on the band's Facebook page.
The Sculpture Center
Artists and activists Robin Robinson and Gary Williams display their "Our Lives Matter" mural outside the Cuyahoga County Courthouse via augmented reality. Los Angeles-based artist Nancy Baker and the Sculpture Center present the augmented reality display via Baker's free app, "4th Wall," to make the mural appear to hover outside the Lakeside Avenue building.
Verb Ballets
The award-winning Northeast Ohio dance company Verb Ballets presents a live stream of "Peter and the Wolf" set to the music of Sergei Prokofiev with choreography by Cleveland's Pamela Pribisco. The ticketed live stream is Friday, August, at 6 p.m.
