Summer continues to rage, but the arts have no intention of letting 90-degree heat win. Stay inside with lectures and art openings. Cincinnati Pops goes to “La La Land” and Cincinnati Music Theatre gives an exam after their show. KSO finishes up outdoor offerings and Phil DeGreg provides lunchtime respite. Enjoy yourself.
Culture and the arts not only provide enjoyment and relaxation, but sometimes require us to consider the ways of the world. So it is this week. The Appalachian experience, LGBTQ issues, diversity and grief create art that makes us think. Seafood, Fleetwood Mac, a majestic owl and good shopping are still on tap, but have a closer look.
I have good news and some bad news. The good: Arts and culture offerings in late spring bloom like honeysuckle in these parts. The bad: You’ll have to clone yourself to get to it all. If you can’t do that, you’ll just have to plan wisely. Don’t fret too much, though. There are no wrong answers.
We have a strangely eclectic mix of arts and culture events this week, so let’s just get In the Mood to Take the “A” Train to Fleet Street, tangle with Tango on the Square, tour the cosmos with an ancient prince, skip to the Scottish Highlands and California redwood forests, and much more …
Cincinnati Opera gears back up just as the Early Music Festival winds down. Never a dull moment in this town. A piano concerto for only the left hand? Jazz and theater (or is that thea-TRE) abound or you can live it up at Art After Dark. There’s a little bit of something for everybody this week.
Costumes ready? Jack-o-lanterns lit? Creepy sound effects oozing from the boxwoods? It’s Halloween time, and even if you’re not into trick-or-treating or costume parties, there are plenty of cultural events with a Halloween twist on the calendar this week.
Movers & Makers asked leaders across the local visual arts landscape to nominate an artist they think should be recognized as an inspiration to the community.
The region’s arts calendar is full speed ahead with compelling offerings on stage, screen and gallery. Further, while there’s not so much blatant pandering to the holiday, St. Valentine has filled his quiver with cultural opportunity, too. Whether you’re celebrating love or wishing the world would stop talking about it, we’ve got you covered.
Last week, our Culture FIX schedule was heavy on outdoor music, especially with Fourth of July holiday events. This week is more about balance, with several can’t-miss visual art exhibitions and theater productions opening. And yes, there are fine musical events as well.
This week offers up eclectic choices from “Barbie” to salsa. Washington Park is a hopping place and if art is your thing, Kroner and Pendleton have interesting offerings. Bourbon, barbeque and 1920s Paris round out June, catapulting us into a short, welcome holiday week. Inside or out, it’s all there.
