BLINK Parade Workshop: Fireflies
FREE
Be a part of the BLINK Parade on October 17!
Clifton Cultural Arts Center has been chosen to participate in this year’s BLINK Parade and we are inviting all community members to walk with us in the parade. Join us during one of our free workshops to create and decorate your own wearable, light-up firefly. Then on parade day, we’ll all walk together as a huge swarm of lightning bugs, lighting up the night!
Walking in the parade is not required to attend workshop.
BLINK
From its first event in 2017, BLINK’s founding team sought to nurture a sense of community and connection through public art. They came together, a collection of creatives, entrepreneurs, local artists, art enthusiasts and arts supporters, wanting to show Cincinnati what a future city could be – through an unforgettable art experience. They also wanted to show the world what Cincinnati had to offer, to solidify it as a hub of creativity, forward-thinking conversations, and aspirational ideas. Light was the medium. It is fundamental to the human experience. It connects us all. It can illuminate a path toward inclusion and possibility. What they didn’t know was how much connection it would drive. How it would light up a city, the humans within it and become a beacon of light for our city and beyond.
Now in its fourth iteration, BLINK has become more than a gift to the city. We welcome everyone to experience the light, the art, and our community.
Led by ish, the 2024 BLINK Parade will kick off BLINK on Thursday, October 17 around 7:30pm (subject to change) and will run through the Central Business District (exact route to be announced).
When visiting CCAC by car, please use the shared lot directly behind our building, which can be accessed off of Hosea Ave. The Clifton United Methodist Church’s lot, accessible off of Senator Pl, may be used as overflow and is connected via a few stairs connecting the two lots. We ask that you only use these lots while visiting CCAC or Dewey’s Pizza and move your vehicle before visiting any other locations around the Ludlow Business district.
If these lots are full, you may park along the street in many areas around our building. There are also two paid public lots that can be accessed via Ludlow or Howell Ave and are about a five-minute walk away.
