The Queen City is hopping this week, with goings on from Covington to Lincoln Heights. Cincinnati Opera raises the curtain on “Fiddler on the Roof.” Get your fill of goetta in Newport. The Sign Museum is lit up. Queen City Clay is fired up. The Mercantile hosts author Katie Yee and Patsy Cline is “Walkin’ After Midnight.” Have fun.
Now in its second year, the festival – which runs Sept. 26-28 – moves to the Contemporary Arts Center and Memorial Hall.
Hague will serve a two-year term promoting poetry across the city, reading original work at events and leading literary programs.
BLINK, and you might miss it. For four days every two years, the cityscape of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky comes alive with the nation’s largest festival of light, art and projections. BLINK Cincinnati dominates this week’s cultural calendar, of course, but there’s more here to enjoy.
Fall is upon us, though, which means season openers in all sorts of places. Enjoy some theater at Falcon or Matinee Musicale on Sunday afternoon. Peruse a FotoFocus exhibit at the 21c Museum while you plan what to do for the rest of the week. It’s all there, just for you.
The Mercantile Library recommends books by local authors for your summer reading pleasure…
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.
Findlay Market’s Juneteenth celebration will focus on Black-owned businesses at the market.
We asked The Mercantile Library to recommend books from local authors – or those with local ties – to read this summer.
