Forbes' writer Chad Scott names Cincy a "national destination for public art" in his recent story: "‘Blink,’ But Don’t Sleep On The Arts In Cincinnati."
Anchored in his experience attending the biennial BLINK — the nation's largest art, light and projection-mapping event — Scott says the streets of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky were transformed into an "open air after dark public art museum," which was remarkable in and of itself, but he also calls out the jubilant, community-centric feel of the festival: "Making BLINK most remarkable, however, were not the drone shows and installations–although they are remarkable–it was the community. A big, open community, absent the insular tribalism common across the nation. It seemed like everyone was there."
And it's not just BLINK.
"Cincy’s arts scene shines year-round thanks to an ambitious mural program that has produced a collection to rival any American city other than Miami. Cincy’s murals are numerous, enormous, and of the highest caliber. Guided and self-guided mural tours are available through ArtWorks, the organization responsible for many of them," Scott writes.
