Working on that principle, Art Amplied was created. This new urban festival in Over-the-Rhine includes three parts, allowing guests to curate their own adventure with creative – and delicious – experiences.
“Each experience vibrantly celebrates ArtWorks’ mission by highlighting our programs in unique ways,” says Sutton.
For the ArtBrunch at Somerset, guests will enjoy complimentary mimosas and pastries, along with yoga, a DJ, and an artist talk with Anissa Pulcheon and Asha White. At the FREE ArtParty at Alice, guests will see enjoy music, a new beer from Rhinegeist, and an immersive mural dance party, Lucid — a living art installation by Brave Berlin.
The day wraps up with a seasonal, three-course dinner by Chef David Jackman at Somerhaus. Along with the meal, the program also includes a Q & A with guest artists Dan Reynolds and Steve McGowan, co-Founders of Brave Berlin and Kim Popa executive director/ co-founder of Pones, with Colleen Houston, ArtWorks CEO and artistic director.
“We are incredibly grateful for the many partnerships, artists, artisans, and organizations that allow ArtWorks to carry out their mission,” says Sutton. “On, Sunday, we celebrate these relationships and their meaning to ArtWorks.
Tickets for the ArtBrunch will be available at the door, however, if you order before Friday, and you will automatically be entered for the chance to help paint on an ArtWorks’ mural this summer! Winner (and three guests of their choice) will receive lunch, behind-the-scenes access to our mural process, and the opportunity to contribute to an ArtWorks public work of art.
“You definitely need to stop by Alice at the ArtParty to help paint the community mural designed specifically for the space,” say Sutton. “End your evening at Somerset for a nightcap, and witness a large-scale, mural-inspired projection in the gorgeous botanical garden – Our murals will come to life at dark and you won’t want to miss it!”
