Culture FIX: June 28-July 9 (not a typo!)
It’s the last of the first, Ladies and Gents. (Last Culture FIX of the first half of 2023). For those of you who are not fully consumed Swifties, here are some alternatives to the impending pop culture madness.
Culture FIX: June 21-27
It ain’t summer until the crazy lady sings, at least that’s the case this year. Cincinnati Opera opens with works from 1835 (complete with “mad scene”) and 2021 this week, along with the debut of a new piano competition and the return of a newish chamber festival, while the 2022-23 theater season finally comes to a close. Happy summer!
Culture FIX: June 14-20
Juneteenth, the celebration of the emancipation of slaves in Texas (June 19, 1865) has taken on a life of its own and there are several occasions for you to participate over the weekend. Plus, you’ll find a plethora of other wonders to feed your soul. Peruse away…
Culture FIX: June 7-13
Art should be about helping you look at things through a different lens and this week’s events do that and more, so I need not say more. Go, see differently and thank me later.
Culture FIX: May 31-June 6
Good golly, Miss Molly, what a week we have ahead. Plenty of al fresco music is on the menu, with a couple sides of outdoor film, plus flavors for every taste, even “Tutti Frutti.”
Culture FIX: May 24-30
This is the beginning of summer, People! Besides the obligatory grilling and swimming pool openings, you might want to balance things out with a little culture, with The Taste around all weekend as an always-ready option. But on a serioius note, please save a space in your heart for those men and women who have gone to battle to keep us as free as we are. Their memory is the reason you have this Monday off.
Culture FIX: May 17-23
Lots of dynamic offerings this week – including AI art – as evidenced by a record eight (8!) embedded videos. This is transition time, from regular season to summer season, so expect the unexpected. But May Festival remains embedded in our culture like clockwork – 150 years and counting. Amazing.
Culture FIX: May 10-16
This week begins with a film about office work and ends with a talk about how finding a place to put your car at work shapes our lives. But there are many other options in between: scads of arts and crafts (indoor and out), music (Duke Ellington to Electro Swing to Mambo), more films (from small town Mass. to revolutionary India to a Filipina country singer), hip-hop poetry and soil-to-soil fashion. Goodness!
Culture FIX: May 3-9
Ok, Winter. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. We are looking ahead to balmy, busy late spring days, such as the ones below. Am I right? Feast your senses…
