I had heard of an art gallery that was featuring an exhibition of vintage bicycles, so my boyfriend, my brother and I clambered into the car and headed to Covington to the Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center. None of us had ever visited, or heard much about this gallery.
We found a dozen different reasons to love the Carnegie, and I'm already counting the days until they shuffle the galleries and we can visit again. In this post, I want to share a few shots from the main gallery of the center (mostly the glassware; it was my favorite); tomorrow Dan will show off the vintage bicycle exhibit, and on Friday I'll post a few more shots of the gorgeous old building itself.
The Carnegie embodies my re-adventure: discovering new things about a city I was somehow bored of. (I say "somehow" because I can hardly imagine being bored these days!) If I didn't make a little effort to get my finger back on the pulse of the arts in Greater Cincinnati, I would never have stumbled across this beautiful arts center.

Awesome! But, umm, you should have ridden bicycles to an exhibit of bicycles, no?
Yes, we definitely SHOULD have. ;) Right now we only have one bike between the three of us, but we should have found a way!!
Thanks so much for sharing these photos with your readers. We are so glad you found us, and that you enjoyed your visit. Please come back soon!
Shannan,
The Carnegie
One word: pedicab.
We used to hit the Carnegie galley openings all the time and then got away from it. If you want to hit the next one let us know, good times, cash bar horderves and art.
