Well, we’re in the thick of it now: the weeks when the world will force you into holiday cheer through the sheer volume of seasonal programming. If last week’s bounty didn’t quite do it, this week should bring you to critical mass.
This week, well, it’s the usual holiday embarrassment of cultural riches, particularly if you’re in the mood for some music.
It feels autumnal outside, but it’s still pretty startling to realize that October is already winding to its hallowed end. No surprise, then, that there’s plenty of spooky stuff afoot – and a potent potable to help you through it. Curious? Forge ahead.
Don’t be fooled just because most of the Queen City’s school districts are starting their year this week. It’s still summer for another month. There’ll be plenty of balmy weather beckoning you to partake of some of the many activities on tap for you this week.
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. That doesn’t mean our neighbors in the arts are taking it easy, though.
If you keep thinking, surely all the arts and cultural entertainment opportunities will have to take a summer breather, I’m afraid you’re mistaken (and, as the joke goes, don’t call me Shirley).
Manifest’s artist-in-residence, Charlie Goering, will cap his yearlong stint with a two-room solo exhibit. “Recent Works” will celebrate his achievements, learning and adoption into the broad Manifest family of artists.
Astronomers and sticklers will tell you that summer does not officially begin until June 21. These people have apparently not experienced either Cincinnati’s arts scene or humid heat in late May and early June. To my allergy-clouded eyes, it looks like summer to me. Judge for yourself.
From sounds centuries old to debuts of new art, this weekend is chock-full of options. How full? Maybe a dart board would make your selection process simpler.
