As a married couple working within the nonprofit sector for more than 16 years, we Mariners thought it time to recognize others with similar shared passions. We asked for nominations and selected couples whose influence is on the rise and across the nonprofit spectrum. We salute their paired efforts on behalf of Greater Cincinnati nonprofits.

BLINK, and you might miss it. For four days every two years, the cityscape of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky comes alive with the nation’s largest festival of light, art and projections. BLINK Cincinnati dominates this week’s cultural calendar, of course, but there’s more here to enjoy.
Sauerkraut, Stowe, Summermusik, Shakespeare, Superstar, Sexton. Not that we’re keeping track of the alphabet or anything, but check out the letter “S” this week. How about great food in Waynesville, a visit to the Harriet Beecher Stowe House for pb&j or an iconic musical about Jesus and some supper?
Schools may already be back in session, but summer is not yet done with us. If you’re a jazz fan, you’re especially in luck, and the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra is throwing itself a birthday party 50 years in the making. Plus there’s a perch for Parrotheads in Price Hill and great American songs across the river. Take a look.
The fact that our city can support dozens of smaller galleries and community theater groups, plus children’s performing ensembles and music in churches at lunchtime speaks to how deeply the love and appreciation of arts and culture runs in us. To say nothing of the talent! Have a look and find something new, something smaller-but-mighty to experience this week.
Cincinnati is among the top cities increasing downtown foot traffic with a 28% increase from last year. This week, we have the Asian Food Fest and Jazz at the Square, plus Tunes & Blooms at the Cincinnati Zoo and other outdoor events. So get out and start trafficking those feet!
Check out interesting things to do in some of the area’s historic places of worship. Not all is sacred, though. Theater, children’s programs, chamber music, an organ concert and some Bach will grace chancels across the city. Plus, a whole lot more…
We’re at that awkward stage in Culture FIX this week: Some events still mark our bleak midwinter, while hints of Mardi Gras and (dare we say it?) spring start elbowing their way in. Throw in the revival of a dreaded vampire and an invasion of toothy furry creatures and some atrocious puns …
If too much shopping and singing and decorating have you in a squeeze, take a night off and relax with something outside of your holiday norm. And this being our last Culture FIX of 2023, make sure to check out TICKET WATCH at the bottom of this column for remaining December events you should get your tickets for NOW! Have a warm and festive holiday season and see you next year.
