What an amazing mural by !!!

Thank you to Felice, Melissa, Vincent, Adriana, and everyone at CAMH for the support for Rubio - the real deal! Thanks to Dan at for setting it all in motion. The artwork is a tribute to Vincent Valdez’s mother who passed along significance of a cardinal as a sign from a departed loved one who has returned to give guidance and solace.

Stopped by to see an oldie but goodie by - “I Ought To” sits out front of Pratt Film and Video school on Myrtle Ave in Brooklyn. Matthew, his son and installed this 8 years ago. It was inspired by cast glass inserts in historic manholes and area well covers. Matthew found a guy to cast the inserts out of leftover colored glass, and the result is still striking!

We’re so grateful to and the East End District for bringing a fantastic new mural by Vincent, Rubio, and several East End high school art students to the facade of 5603 Navigation. We miss our first tenants - Houston Bile Share…. It was a great 6 years with their logo loud and proud at Navigation!

It’s always a pleasure when our work in the public art realm coincides with one of our architectural projects. At Connect Community’s new facilities, art and architecture come together to create a space that is both functional and inspiring.

Here’s a sneak peek at just one of the multiple large-scale artworks that will shape this space! From thoughtful design to meaningful artistic expression, this project showcases the power of collaboration in creating environments that uplift and connect people. We can’t wait to share more soon!

Artist,
Curator:

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his unwavering commitment to justice, unity, and love. The Light of Hope memorial will stand as a testament to his Six Pillars of Nonviolent Resistance, reminding us that courage, compassion, and a belief in justice can transform our world. We are honored and humbled to work with Shane Allbritton & Norman Lee to bring the vision for this monument to life for the City of Cincinnati.
