Shop Summerfair artists this Holiday Season

Summerfair Cincinnati is excited to announce its new Holiday Virtual Event. This event will showcase 45 Summerfair 2020 artists and their work online at Summerfair.org starting Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2020.

These 45 artists represent 13 different art categories - 2D/3D, ceramics, digital art, drawing, fiber, glass, jewelry, leather, metal, painting, photography, printmaking and wood - from 15 different states. 28 artists are either local or regional artists.

“We are thrilled to be able to give some of our beloved Summerfair artists a platform to showcase their work,” said Jayne Utter, Executive Director of Summerfair Cincinnati. “It’s been a tough year for many of them. We hope this will give them an opportunity to display their exceptional work and give Summerfair guests the chance to shop their favorite artists.”

The Summerfair Holiday Virtual Event will begin Thursday, November 26 and can be found at Summerfair.org.

Registration is now open for 2021 Pig Works events

Registration for the 2021 Flying Pig weekend powered by P&G, Queen Bee weekend empowered by P&G and Kroger and TQL Beer Series events will open on Monday, October 12. All events will be offered for virtual registration at first, with special pricing and incentives for early registrants. 

As government approval and health protocols are adjusted in the coming months for in-person events, Pig Works will be adjusting its registration policies as well. Virtual participants already signed up will have first choice, when guidelines allow, to stay virtual or to transfer to in-person registration. 

“We remain hopeful and optimistic that we will be able to host you in-person and are preparing for that,” said Iris Simpson Bush, president and CEO of Pig Works, “but we feel that this is the most transparent and fair way to move forward at this time.”

The first event in the 2021 Pig Works schedule is the Bockfest 5K, part of the TQL Beer Series, on Saturday, March 6, 2021. Learn more about each event and register here.

Patty Brisben Foundation to Hold Virtual Annual Gala Saturday

The Patty Brisben Foundation, serving to enhance women’s sexual health and well-being through research and education, is going worldwide with its 15th annual Gala as the party goes virtual this Saturday, October 3, starting at 8 p.m. EDT.

Consultants and supporters are the hosts for parties around the world as the Gala will be streamed live to homes throughout the U.S. and abroad. More than 200 hosts and their guests across 42 states, as well as Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia, and Japan, have already signed up to participate.

“We are so excited to be able to take our annual Gala virtually to Consultants and their guests this year,” said Patty Brisben, founder of Pure Romance. “We wish we could all be together, but this way we can stay safe and connect virtually to raise money for women’s sexual health.”

Music, special guests and auctions will be part of the Virtual Gala, which raises funds for grants given by the Foundation to researchers and clinics around the world. Nearly half of all women experience sexual difficulties at some point in life. Despite this, most healthcare providers receive very little training when it comes to sexuality, and even less in the area of female sexual health.

The Patty Brisben Foundation for Women’s Sexual Health aims to change that by directing resources and funding research to advocate for women’s sexual health, and advance the understanding of the issues facing women’s sexuality.

Individual tickets to the Gala are still available at http://pattybrisbenfoundation.org/pbf-gala/.
