Artistry is all around us. Art is an exhilarating dance in a food market. Art is relished in old, beautifully restored buildings. Art is participatory on historic bridges. Well-appointed concert halls are nice. Expertly curated museums are comfortable, but try on something new this week.
Location, location, location. Culture FIX pays homage to that old adage this week as we invite you to experience cultural mainstays in unique locations.
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.”

This week encompasses the full spectrum, from cultural events about our history to contemporary dance, from al fresco art and music to a trio of film events (one celebrating the outdoors), two powerful examples of Iranian artists standing up to fundamentalist oppression, an exploration of what financially divides us, new and traditional theater, art from around the nation, plus with a variety of music that illustrates our shared humanity. There’s a lot to take in.

Some want turkey with all the fixins. Me? I’m just looking to get my culture fix. As we fast approach Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for Cincinnati, not the least of which is a vibrant cultural scene. Happy to be filling in again for my friend Thom Mariner to tell you about events both great and small.
Lots of local theater kicking off, honoring Stephen Flaherty at CCM, early FotoFocus arrivals, a bunch of music and much more…
