Summer continues to rage, but the arts have no intention of letting 90-degree heat win. Stay inside with lectures and art openings. Cincinnati Pops goes to “La La Land” and Cincinnati Music Theatre gives an exam after their show. KSO finishes up outdoor offerings and Phil DeGreg provides lunchtime respite. Enjoy yourself.
It’s not something one expects to say in mid-August, but we hope your homes are dry and the trees near you are still standing. Assuming you’re safe and sound, there’s plenty to get out and enjoy: hot jazz, sinfully good orchestral fare and “new” Gershwin, to name a few.
The exhibit explores both the artists who created the banners and the performers they promoted, while examining how circuses used bold imagery and sensational marketing to draw crowds throughout much of the 20th century.
Now that the summer solstice has come and gone, we’ll be heavy on outdoor events for the next couple of months – this week with concerts and celebrations in the parks, woods and neighborhood centers, an art gallery “crawl,” movies under the stars and, of course, the ever-popular Panegyri Greek Festival.
You might not believe it with our chilly nights lately, but summer officially arrives Sunday. Around these parts, that means more than grilling and baseball: It means cultural celebrations (i.e., food), jazz galore and opera. Wrap your seven veils and pick a night on the town from our handy list.
There are people that actually enjoy hot weather and don’t mind humidity. For them, we have outdoor celebrations this week, if the rain holds off. For the rest of us, there’s plenty to do in air-conditioned comfort, where the only thing hot will be the music. Whichever you prefer, enjoy.
Memorial Day is past, the cool, rainy weather is pretty much over (for now), and it’s time to focus on summer arts and culture with a week filled with outdoor events.
The curse has been lifted! Daylight saving time is back, which means you can actually get home from work while it’s still light. It’s also a powerful motivator for getting out to enjoy some evening activities. An art opening? Concert? Cultural festival? Take your pick. There’s plenty to go around.
The Cincinnati History Museum, The Children’s Museum and American Sign Museum all finished among the top three in the USA TODAY 10Best Reader’s Choice Awards.
The photography book traces the evolution of U.S. signage and the museum’s own unlikely rise from a local basement collection to a nationally recognized cultural destination.
