Artists from all over
Cincinnati are coming together to launch the city’s newest art gallery,
The Red Door Project. Inspired by the idea that art is in the eye of the
beholder, the gallery features artwork by dozens of Cincinnatians
from all backgrounds and walks of life. Enjoy a night of bidding on your
favorite local artwork along with complimentary appetizers and drinks.
This month's theme is
Market Days: Home Grown. The idea is to create a piece of art in any
mixed media (found objects, drawing, painting, photography). It can be
2D or 3D but must be based on the theme of the month. In its first three shows, the Red Door Project has featured work from
more than 50 local artists – with over 85% of what’s submitted being
sold.
Market Days: Home Grown show will take place on May 30th from 6-10PM
on the west side of Findlay Market at the Crown Building, 1739 Elm Street. The former Crown Furniture Store
has recently been renovated to its 1865 appearance and within weeks of
being finished was fully rented leaving only the retail space on the
first floor available.
The gallery event will be part of Findlay
Market’s new Findlay After Five, with businesses open after hours to
gallery patrons. Those who come will not only get to enjoy art, but the
OTR biergarten, Eli’s Barbeque, Market Wines, Dojo Gelato and Pho Lang
Thang.
