From hands-on art-making with local artists to roller skating inside an iconic building, the next Family Festival truly has something for everyone!
This indoor block party at the Contemporary Arts Center celebrates community-focused artwork inspired by exhibition Ohio Now and offers the chance to create alongside local artists.
Throughout the Family Festival, guest can
Design a felt banner with artist Garrett Goben in using shapes and colors found in his Soft Bones installation.
Build a tiny Cincy out of mix materials and paper mache with Artist in Residence, Karen Boyhen. Use our sixth floor city skyline view of downtown as inspiration for what to create! Special guest artist, Courttney Cooper from Visionaries and Voices will join us as well. Learn about his elaborate city drawings of our city while building your own Cincinnati.
Create a love letter collage to Mother Earth with artist Julia Orquera Bianco and think about the community parks, forests and gardens that make our city such a wonderful place.
Join a family-friendly artist talk with Kateri Sparrow, the artist behind the newest Creativity Center installation, Scrap Garden. Learn about Sparrow’s work and create a mini scrap garden sculpture of your own.
Along with all of the art-making activities, the CAC will welcome skaters from Skate Nation to roll into the 6th floor!
