Paint the Street

When it comes to art, you have to admit Cincinnati is a hotspot these days. Whether it's ArtWorks projects throughout the city, or Shepard Fairey murals popping up all over, it's become a very important part of life in the city.

The latest project is from our own Fine Arts Fund and it sounds like it's going to be incredible. The goal is to paint 12th street. Yes, all of it - between Main and Central Parkway. They're still planning things a bit, and there will be more information forthcoming, however we wanted to start getting the word out about this as they are going to need lots of volunteers.

They recently held a community design meeting to gather ideas for this project and now it's up to five artists to develop the final design. We can't wait to see what they come up with.

For more information about the project visit the Fine Arts Fund website. On the same page you can sign up as a volunteer.

I just want to give you props for such a great blog. I found and started following about a month it in prep for my move to Cincinnati this Sept. I'm following my fiancé (a life long resident who I met at college) as she starts med school. I told her about this post and she's already super excited about the idea. Thanks for getting me excited about the city before I even move there.

Third: Thank you so much! I'm completely flattered. (Sure, Dan wrote this post in particular, but I'm sure he'll share the praise.)

I hope you'll keep reading and if there's anything in particular you think we ought to cover, let us know!

Where in Cincinnati will you be located?

Just north of eden park. Literally a stone's throw away.
