The Roll Debuts in OTR
New Contemporary Arts Center Exhibition Opening on July 8th at the CAC, Homespun: An Archive of Tan- gible Memories focuses on reclaiming discarded items (with the addition of some trinkets, gadgets, and whatnots) with renewed purpose. The playfulness of the glitter, yarn, buttons and beads help highlight the functionality of objects featured, provoking thoughts of playfulness, memories, and the intricacies of life. The force behind the exhibit, Sarah Rodriguez, is a multimedia artist and art educator from Cincinnati. CAC guests can see this exhibi- tion through October 4th, and families: be sure to add July 9th’s Thursday Art Play, which will have participants creating Sarah Rodriguez-inspired works, to the family calendar. Learn more at contemporaryartscenter.org.
