December 18th: Join Us for Final Friday Gallery Walk @ BLOOM
Final Friday "Future Blooms" Open House
This Final Friday December 18th from 5:00 to 8:00pm (also known as Frantic Friday), Keep Cincinnati Beautiful will host an open house for its “Future Blooms” program. Future Blooms aims to artistically enhance as many abandoned and boarded up properties in Cincinnati as possible.
Keep Cincinnati Beautiful’s artists enhance the properties by painting representations of doors, windows and vibrant window boxes on the boarded up parts of the buildings to make them appear new and in use.
Future Blooms’ goal is not only beautify homes and buildings, but also to strengthen the community's sense of safety and pride. These properties will no longer be a representation of abandonment but instead they’ll be little spots of colorful optimism that our city needs!
So remember: Stop by on Friday between 5 and 8 PM at our studio space on 1334 Main St. to meet our hardworking staff and to learn about this exciting new program! A limited supply of refreshments will be available.
