Summer is culturally here, even if the solstice is still a few weeks away. In some cities, that might mean less culture. Not here. We just move it outside. There’s also a visual cornucopia of art openings indoors this week to delight the eye. Read on and plan your busy week ahead.
The smoke may have just cleared from this year’s Labor Day weekend Riverfest party, but plenty of fireworks are ahead this week, with a mix of still-summer outdoor fun and fall arts seasons gearing up.
Visual art takes the stage this week with openings at Eisele and Weston galleries, while Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park introduces us to soundscapes. Good film is abundant at Cincinnati World Cinema and Washington Park, which gets a little “Wicked.” Open your eyes and take it all in.
Compared to those farther south who lost homes, livelihoods and even their lives to Hurricane Helene, Greater Cincinnati got off easy. Still, the storm’s wind and rain washed out what promised to be a fall-filled weekend. We’ll try again this week with music, a visual feast of film and photos, and, yes, some outdoor activities, too.
Summermusik continues, while Homer’s “Odyssey” journeys to the Museum Center. Summer marches on and, fortunately, so do the arts. Don’t miss what Cincy Shakes has to offer this week – indoors and out – or check out the musical offerings in our Cincinnati parks. Venture out of your AC, get some fresh air and find something new to do.
It’s easy to assume that, with the last blast of Labor Day Weekend behind us, fall has arrived. Well, not quite. The weather is saying otherwise, and the autumnal equinox doesn’t arrive until Saturday, Sept. 23. Let’s not rush things.
Some 5,000 artists, designers, educators and scholars are in town attending the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts’ annual conference, “Current,” March 15–18.
.And…we’re back. Just like that, the slate is full. I hope you’re prepared. You’ll wish you had more time.
This is our last C-FIX of the year, so let’s get to what’s being offered in the days ahead. Happy Holidays, however you choose to celebrate. See you in January…
Can you feel it? That’s the intensity meter revving up to launch us all into full-blown fall arts mode. Choose a few items below to get warmed up, then brace yourselves.
