Business Courier is now covering the arts

February 23, 2018 janellegelfand2 Comments

I’m happy to announce that I will have a weekly column in the Cincinnati Business Courier, which has made an unprecedented commitment to cover the arts. One of my first articles explains why Cincinnati is suddenly getting noticed as a destination.

And here’s my introduction. You can read the new arts page today in print, or online, a new feature called “Arts Front.” There you’ll also find ArtsWave’s calendar and much more. A few times a month, I will be reviewing classical music events there, too.

The new arts page will be FREE to read online.

I’m also happy to say that I’ll continue my relationship with Cincinnati Public Radio, and my blog will remain right here, at WGUC.org.

Thanks for reading!

If you missed the free community open house when Music Hall reopened in October, you’ll have another chance during ArtsWave’s upcoming campaign. Music Hall will be open to all on March 24. It’s just one of 12 Saturdays of free fun spanning the entire ArtsWave campaign.

The goal for this year’s 2018 “Make Waves” campaign will be announced early on Thursday.

ArtsWave, the nation’s oldest and largest community arts fund, previously offered an Arts Sampler Weekend of live performances, art and more.

The new concept, ArtsWave Days, will feature events at different venues with different themes on each Saturday between February 3 and April 21. In all you’ll find more than 100 free community performances throughout the campaign.Read More »
