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 funding will support 46 arts organizations across Greater Cincinnati, helping pay for performances, exhibitions, arts education and other community programming.
After a hot holiday weekend, take time to enjoy the indoors. A Patsy Cline fan? Maybe you’re in the Walter Cronkite club. Cincinnati Opera goes all out for their world premiere. Manifest Gallery reconfigures its space to celebrate young artists. Haven’t had enough heat? Check out Devou or Washington Park. Indoors or outdoors it’s up for grabs.

As the Ol’ Lefthander might say, we’re rounding third and heading for home, as far as summer is concerned. Way too many kids are already back in school, and Labor Day weekend may be a bit more than a head-first slide away, but there’s plenty of summer fun ahead this week.
“Summertime, and the livin’ is” … muggy. Do we let that stop us from a smorgasbord of arts and cultural entertainment? Of course not. Now that your ears have stopped ringing from the fireworks on the Fourth, don some light-weight clothes and head out to enjoy what summer in the city has to offer.
The 45 grant recipients represent a range of large, mid-size and small nonprofit organizations across the region. Grant sizes vary widely, typically ranging from $10,000 to over $1 million.
Jazz, books and theater. Opera, food and film. All in the same week. If you’ve never experienced Cincy Fringe, give this wild and wooly theatrical event a try.

Sample something new.
