The Golden Ticket Juried Art Show opens September 7th at the Clifton Cultural Arts Center. Two of my mixed media paintings are included in this year’s show! Just under 100 pieces were selected from the 275 entries. The only requirement for entry was that the artist must live within 25 miles of the center. When I dropped off my pieces, I was impressed. The art center is a beautiful old elementary school. The community rescued it from potential demolition in 2008. Since that time it has served the surrounding area as a facility showcasing all fine arts. Classes are available as well as concerts, art shows and theater performances. What a treasure. I am constantly amazed at how many historical and beautiful places I have yet to explore in this great city. The grand old mansions in the area were a surprise to me. I had no idea that Clifton was more than UC. I guess this transplanted Buckeye still has a lot to see in Cincinnati. The show will be on display until October 8th.
