The Contemporary Art Center’s gala, Opening Minds, was a night to celebrate the center’s education, outreach and community engagement programs.
The event was co-chaired by Joe and Mary Ann Allen. Honorees were Dr. Isidore Rudnick, Yvette Simpson and Carl Solway – three major voices for the arts in Cincinnati.
