A lot of work (and money) has been put toward turning Elm Street into Cincinnati’s arts axis. How is that paying off? Well, four of our first five picks this week take place along a two-block stretch of Elm. And that doesn’t even count the CSO – and they’re playing, too. So park once, and enjoy often.
This week is proof that some of the biggest events can come in the smallest packages. Whether it’s a museum or a movie for the little ones, the personal connection of music performed just feet away or the beauty seen in small pieces of art, we have an event that’s just the right size for you.
Engage your mind and your senses this week with new exhibits, performances and more around town. This city has a lot to offer so we’ve done some leg work for you and selected a few happenings we don’t want you to miss.
More than 1,000 regional, national and international leaders, scholars, educators, service providers, activists and advocates will be in Greater Cincinnati April 5-8 for a conference, “Restitching the Seams: Appalachia Beyond Its Borders.”
If you ask David Rippe what he’s reading, he rattles off a list of titles and authors. He’s never reading just one book – a fitting characteristic for the newly elected president of Cincinnati’s regional book festival, Books By The Banks…
Cincinnati Museum Center plans to publish the memoirs of John A. Ruthven, one of the nation’s foremost wildlife artists, next year.
However one looks at it, this is a week of transition: Winter is fading but hasn’t completely surrendered. Daylight saving time has begun, returning our early mornings to darkness. For observant Christians, Lent is half over, but Easter is still weeks away. It’s the same in our arts scene, with events looking forward and back, opening and closing. Here are some not to miss.
For many in the Tri-state, especially those near a river, torrential rains and rising waters made the last week a little stressful. If life has drained your spiritual tank, we have a few ideas for refueling it – most of them on high ground. It’s a particularly rich music weekend.
Don’t worry. The fever will break. No, not yours (although we hope you’re well, of course): Mother Nature’s. By the end of the week, it’ll seem a little more like February again, just in time to inspire you to take advantage of these enjoyable indoor events.
Is recovering from Mardi Gras proving challenging? One way we encourage you not to do penance is to forego the arts for Lent. Missing a week like this would be a sin, so take an aspirin and get out there.
