Shen Yun, a New York-based company, was founded in 2006 by an impressive group of Chinese artists. Their dream was to create a renaissance for mankind’s most ancient heritage. Today, their wish has become an international phenomenon.

Shen Yun performs in 150 cities worldwide. With breathtaking dances, gorgeous costumes, live orchestra, and dynamic backdrops, this is a show brimming with themes of courage, hope, and triumph of good over evil. Shen Yun is the world’s only company depicting Chinese culture as it had been before it was nearly destroyed by decades of communist rule.

Each year, the company debuts a new lineup of original music and choreography, ranging from classical Chinese dance to traditional ethnic and folk dance styles to theatrical depictions of beloved stories.

Shen Yun features hundreds of handmade costumes—showcasing apparel from China’s 5,000 years of history. Their exquisite colors blend seamlessly with the animated backdrops, instantly transporting the audience to another world. The animation also contains a few surprises, but those are best left for the performance.

Shen Yun Performing Arts will return to Aronoff Center for the Arts Jan. 28-29. Tickets: 844-447-4697 and Shenyun.com/Cincinnati.

Sebastian Castillo has been hard at work this year… Not only with running 2 fabulous restaurants… he is now wrapping up his campaign for ”Real Men Wear Pink” for the American Cancer Society. With a goal of $75,000, his campaign Finale Event on October 28 At Nowhere Else Farm…A fabulous dinner and concert, with round-trip transportation from Prime Cincinnati downtown, is a MUST ATTEND! 

The timing couldn’t be more perfect as the event is taking place during Breast Cancer Awareness Month… a disease affecting almost every family. 

Breast cancer affects everyone – it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why Sebastian has stepped up to fight breast cancer.  By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, Sebastian is helping to save more lives. 

Sebastian Castillo states, “Why I Support the American Cancer Society…Every day, the American Cancer Society is saving more lives from breast cancer than ever before. They’re helping people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early, when it’s easier to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it. They fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and they’re working to ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.

I am most excited to make an impact. Being raised by my mother while my father was at work, we developed a relationship that could never be replicated or traded for anything in the world. I am genuinely excited to be able to be a part of a group that will raise money to put an end to breast cancer.”

Castillo is one of the Top Ten Real Men Ambassadors, and won the 2022 Dancing for the Stars! 

Specials thanks and support to Jeanette Alteneau from TriHealth,  and Deborah Morgan of Cincinnati Arts Association for nominating Sebastian! 

The final event on October 28 at Nowhere Else Farm will be an evening to remember… A fabulous menu is planned with great music in a spectacular setting.

Do your part to help end Cancer…attend this event and contribute with a perfect evening dining and dancing under the stars! We will be there, and look forward to seeing all of you!

We’ve all seen the movies: a serene tropical forest ruled by stealthy raptors and a menacing T-Rex as triceratops and brachiosauruses graze in lush plains nearby. And we see paleontologists digging for their remains in the heat and dirt of the American west. So we understand if the thought of dinosaurs in Antarctica is a little hard to fathom. Let us explain.

Antarctica wasn’t always a land of snow and ice with penguins teetering along its shores. Over 200 million years ago it was part of the supercontinent Gondwana – including parts of what we know as South America, Africa, Australia, the Indian subcontinent and Arabia – and situated much closer to the tropical regions of the world, making the land that is now Antarctica a landscape of lush woodland where dinosaurs thrived. Dinosaurs of Antarctica at Cincinnati Museum Center beautifully recreates the forest landscape and surrounds you with fossils and casts of never-before-seen dinosaurs.

As for the heat and dirt of a North American dig site, you won’t find that today. Instead, it’s an intimidating stretch of ice and rock, as forbidding today as it was when the first Arctic explorers trekked across it over 100 years ago (you’ll meet some of them in the exhibition). Airplanes and helicopters help provide improved access and remove fossils while power tools help penetrate centuries of rock, but the dig isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a cold, isolated landscape.

But 200 million years ago it was thundering with incredible dinosaurs unlike any you’ve ever seen.

See for yourself at Cincinnati Museum Center’s Dinosaurs of Antarctica, open through January 15, 2023.

Art Beyond Boundaries Gallery invites you to attend our FOTOFOCUS exhibition, ‘Back to Abnormal,’ starting Friday, Sept. 9, 2022. This will showcase the work of seasoned photographers participating in the biennial FOTOFOCUS program in the historic Over-the-Rhine arts district. The exhibition will run until Nov. 4, 2022.

‘Back to Abnormal’, is a group exhibition presenting photographs that express artistic perceptions of the impact attributed to the 2020 pandemic. The photographers seek to document, represent, or make personal or artistic statements about the extreme excesses the world is currently witnessing collapse of governments, war, and the erosion of social, political, and law enforcement institutions and their impact on health, education, and family structures. 

Join us to experience this original art and meet the ABB staff. Show will also be available to the public during ‘Second Sunday on Main,’ Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022 from 12 pm to 5 pm.  Admission is free.

In 2018, Cincinnati native J. Miles Wolf documented current, former, and now extinct places of worship in the Jewish community. With his new show at the Skirball Museum, Wolf extends his incisive exploration to a broader integration of the Jewish community within Cincinnati, focusing on photographs that document Jewish contributions in all walks of life. Aligning with the 2021–2022 celebration of the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial, this exhibition affords the opportunity for Wolf to train his discerning lens on former places of business like the Krohn-Fechheimer Shoe Factory, the Fechheimer Brothers Company (still manufacturing uniforms in Cincinnati today), the Manischewitz matzo factory (first commercial matzo factory in America), Bloch Printing, and the American Israelite newspaper, to name a few.

Fifteen new images join the original eighteen from the 2018 exhibition, and

the installation carries a new narrative addressing the contributions of Jewish Cincinnatians in the spheres of business, civic life, social welfare, faith, the arts, healthcare, philanthropy, and popular culture. Wolf expands his reach to Northern Kentucky and the West Side, where several congregations thrived during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Social clubs, sports venues, and the nation’s first Jewish hospital are also documented in Wolf’s signature photographs that combine historical images, carefully culled from local archives, with city views that capture the here and now of these locales.  

Jewish Cincinnati:A Photographic Record by J. Miles Wolf is part of the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial. Support provided by FotoFocus

and the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial. The exhibition opens with a reception and artist’s talk on October 27 at 5:30 pm and will run through January 29, 2023.
