May 2010

THANK YOU!


We promised you a fun campaign and that's what happened. For 10 weeks, our community came together through the fun, creative things happening all around!

Watch this slideshow highlighting some of the great things that happened all across the community during the 2010 annual community campaign!

Cincy Cinco Makes Our Public Square Sparkle

Guest blogger Marcelina Robledo, Manager of Multicultural Arts Initiative, shares her experience from Cincy Cinco 2010.

There are many signs showing spring's arrival and you see these signs all across the region. If you are downtown, you'll see outdoor seating emerging on sidewalks of local restaurants, the Flying Pig Marathon, and Cincy Cinco.

Art for 25 cents

Guest blogger Ann DuCharme, Arts Education Manager, shares her experience of stumbling upon an art stand.

Sunday I saw the most amazing thing – a lemonade stand, operated by three kids ages 3-8. When I pulled my car over to ask how much a cup cost, the biggest said, “25 cents for lemonade and 25 cents for Art.” Excuse me? I peeked beyond the gallon pitcher of sugary pink stuff and saw two more kids crouched on the sidewalk with a large art kit using all kinds of crayons, pencils, and paint.

Bike Art

People from all over our community came together to celebrate the dedication of the first art bike rack, Tour de Cincy. This bike rack is 1 of 15 in the Queen City Art Racks series: a new initiative to bring artist-designed, functional bike racks to public spaces.
