Don’t be fooled just because most of the Queen City’s school districts are starting their year this week. It’s still summer for another month. There’ll be plenty of balmy weather beckoning you to partake of some of the many activities on tap for you this week.
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. That doesn’t mean our neighbors in the arts are taking it easy, though.
The Barn presents a fiber art exhibit – “Her Vision Her Voice” – celebrating diversity with quilting, contemporary and fiber art from local artists.
The Cincinnati Art Museum welcomed guests for its 28th annual “A Taste of Duveneck” to help support the Rosenthal Education Center.
Wave Pool’s Fourth Annual Pool Party and Fundraiser again will take the plunge, but this time with a twist. In lieu of the typical art auction, artists will take part in a drawing marathon.
If you keep thinking, surely all the arts and cultural entertainment opportunities will have to take a summer breather, I’m afraid you’re mistaken (and, as the joke goes, don’t call me Shirley).
Their musical lives may have ended, but five old violins have found new artistic vibrancy in “MusikArt,” a collaboration between the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and the Wash Park Art Gallery.
Artist James Billiter’s sculpted bike racks rise with bursts of color against county park landscapes and remind us that everyday objects can be crafted with careful thought and infused with deeply rooted meaning.
Are you still with us? Last weekend’s blast of heat and humidity was enough to melt anyone … or at least drive us all inside. No doubt our summer has more tandoori days in store, but this weekend promises a more merciful climate. That’s good, because there are many outdoor events worth your time in the next seven days. Indoor ones, too, for the once-burned-twice-shy among you.
Free and aimless we frolic from joy to joy: It’s Violetta’s life credo, but it could work just as well to describe the many events you’ll have to choose among this week. Drink up and enjoy the bounty.
