Weekend Warriors: A Feast for the Eyes

By Lacey Luce Last week or so I was one unholy mess of a girl and as a result I missed a lot of great exhibition openings. So, I hope you’ll forgive me if this week’s blog is skewed to the visual arts, but I have a lot of catching…

Weekend Warriors: There Are Many Ways to Shake Off the Eggnog Daze

By Lacey Luce It’s the night before Christmas and all through the city people are prepping for their own version of celebrating the holidays. I, along with many others, am looking forward to an extra day off this Friday; and, unlike most of my friends, I don’t have to travel…

Weekend Warriors: Getting Into the Spirit

By Lacey Luce Halloween will be here soon and HighBall is a mere 10 days away. Do you have your costume yet? Are you in the holiday spirit? If not, I found a few things to help get you in the proper mindset and/or provide a little inspiration for your…

I’m broke. I pretty much lived July as if every day were “treat yo’ self day” and now I’m looking at a very sad bank balance. My guess is most people know how this feels once in a while (unless of course you have trust fund, in which case can…

Weekend Warriors: Twitter-Worthy Events

By Lacey Luce I don’t know about you but last weekend my personal Twitter and Instagram feeds were full of photos from the Rolling Stones, Off the Grid, and the Remnants opening. I was at the Remnants opening and have to say GO! It’s like walking through Willy Wonka’s factory,…

I spend a lot of time talking about the economic impact the arts have on our community. Economic impact is important, but it shouldn’t over shadow some of the other ways in which the arts have a transformative effect on people’s lives. This spring I heard Erin Hoppe from VSA…

Weekend Warriors: Staying Close to Downtown

By Lacey Luce I’m a Cbus native and old enough to remember a time when there was very little to do downtown. There were a few nightclubs (that you could find if you were in the know), a couple of restaurants, and of course the Ohio and Palace Theatres, but…
