Over-The-Rhine On My Mind Takeover

Join Over-The-Rhine Chamber of Commerce as they go LIVE!

Since we can’t be together in person, OTR thought they’d try their hand at virtual togetherness. With that, we bring you Over-the-Rhine On My Mind, where we let OTR organizations takeover our Instagram. Workshops, tours, fireside chats––anything goes!

Be sure to check out @otrchamber on Instagram on Mondays at 4PM and Wednesdays and Fridays at 11AM for these remote takeovers.

Star clusters, nebulas, and galaxies oh my. Over 200 years ago, French astronomer Charles Messier cataloged 110 such objects using his backyard telescope. Astronomer Dean Regas will take you on a journey to explore these most fascinating objects and share what the Hubble Telescope sees.

Cost: $10.00 per household

All proceeds go toward Education Programming at the Cincinnati Observatory

What’s New Wednesday at Stitches Quilt Shop

Join Stitches Quilt Shop virtually every Wednesday night at 7 p.m. for What’s New Wednesday?

They will spend 30-40 minutes opening new shipments, showing off new samples and having a flash sale for those attending the FB Live event. They won’t be opening boxes during normal store hours to make sure things get wiped and cleaned off with limited exposure, so this is a great way to see everything that is about to go on the shelf!

1N5 Presents: Senior Sendoff Series

No one thought that the Class of 2020 would be spending their last few months of school learning from home. These students have worked hard over the past 13 years to get where they are today, and yet, they can’t celebrate the way they normally would. That’s why 1N5 is proud to present the Class of 2020 Senior Sendoff Series!

This Senior Sendoff is a 3-week event to honor, acknowledge, and congratulate the 2020 grads.
Up first, we have our SENIOR SPOTLIGHT CONCERT, featuring special guest Alex Angelo, who will be DJing the event!

Last but certainly not least, we will have a STUDENT AND TEACHER FAREWELL on JUNE 3rd. This one is for students and teachers. You’ve each been spending the last four years learning and growing from one another, and we’re sure you have some stuff you’d like to say before you leave. Oh, and there might even be some fun teacher talents sprinkled in here! LINK to SUBMIT by MAY 31st: https://1n5.org/senior-send-off-series-student-staff-farewell-on-june-3-2020/

NAMASTE: works of Lily Mulberry

For the past 15 years 1305 Gallery has been a steppingstone for regional artists. The first 9 of those years, the gallery’s fearless leader was Lily Mulberry, before her sudden passing in April 2014.

The unique genuine personal connections that Lily developed with so many different people is a testament to her ability to have seen beyond levels and layers, and earnestly redefine and unite all of us. Her impact on her community, the artists she exhibited, and her friendships will last a lifetime.

A dedicated group of volunteers have spent the past 6 years arranging exhibitions with Lily’s vision and generosity in mind. The support of the 1305 Gallery patrons shines brightly at every Final Friday opening. It has been gratifying to everyone involved with the gallery to see the community engaging with the art on display and celebrating the artist. It’s been a true joy to be part of such a creative place, and closing the gallery doors is not an easy decision – but it is time.

On Friday May 29, 2020, 6 to 10 pm 1305 Gallery will celebrate its final exhibition. “Namaste” will focus on the works of the powerful Ms. Lily Mulberry. Again we ask those who have enjoyed the gallery in the past and also to those who did not have the chance to meet her in life, to please say goodbye.

We hope to live stream the exhibition for our Final Friday event, more information to follow.

The show will also be available -as recommended- to be viewed in small groups by appointment and on possible Saturdays and Sundays 1 to 5 pm.

Proceeds from selected sales and all donations will be put into a scholarship in Lily’s name.

Thank you.
