“Cincinnati Ballet at 50: Photographs by Peter Mueller” opened September 6 and runs through May 2014 (coinciding with the close of the company’s 50th Anniversary Season) at the Cincinnati Ballet Center, 1555 Central Parkway.

Those attuned to area art events cannot help but notice the current photo-mania, which is probably one of the best combined publicity efforts for the arts in recent local history.

The offsite exhibition, Doug and Mike Starn: Gravity of Light will enliven visitors with an extraordinary multisensory experience as Shiny and the Spoon entertain with their intoxicating blend of folk-pop music.
