Sometimes I really miss Ohio... especially when I see new and exciting cutting edge things that take off a little bit of the working class right-wing persona that Cincinnati embodies.
I am really happy to see that it is growing into a more creative place. Two weeks ago it was listed on design*sponge and now this...
If I were home I would not miss the The Mad Tea {Towel} Party. It opens this Friday from 6-10pm at the Nicholas Gallery. The towels shown here are designed by Sigrid Calon a Dutch designer. I really wish I had seen them during our recent trip to Amsterdam.
The show includes 25 artists and designers from around the world and some very striking tea towels. I really wish they were available for purchase online.
Maybe... just maybe - someone can stop by and make me a little more envious. Please let me know if you do! The show runs through the 25th of July.

My mother-in-law would go bananas for an exhibit like that! She loves tea towels and seems to subconsciously collect them! Ohio sure is chic! ;)
Perhap's you could go there next year !
It's not open all year or I would definitely go!
For anyone who's curious about the tea towel exhibit, I've just uploaded the installation photos:

The gallery is not selling the tea towels online [almost all sold immediately anyway] but, if you find any that you like in the photos, the exhibit site provides URLs, and many of the designers are on Etsy or have their own online shops.
Visualingual -
Thank you so much for remembering patrons from afar! I must admit it does make me a bit homesick, but I'm already looking forward to future exhibits during my visits home!
