Sunset Salons: Photography & Building Community

Free, Register Now!

The “third place,” a term coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg, refers to places where people spend time between home (“first” place) and work (“second” place). These locations are essential for building relationships, exchanging ideas, reducing loneliness and expanding horizons. CCAC is such a third place, providing physical spaces and opportunities to connect through visual and performing arts, as well as arts education opportunities. Held in conjunction with the CCAC’s “Third Place” exhibition, supported by FotoFocus, our featured panel of experts will discuss how third places enlighten us and encourage us to lighten up.

JENS ROSENKRANTZ JR.

Jens Rosenkrantz Jr.opened a studio at the Pendleton Art Center in 2011 after a career in finance and investment banking, and a brief fling in running two restaurants in Cincinnati. His interest in photography dates back to decades of documenting his travels and many great meals throughout the United States, France, and Italy. Currently Rosenkrantz runs a gallery at the Pendleton that features his own work and other local artists and also is home to his Cuban/US art exchange project Bridges Not Walls. He has travelled there 10 times in the last five years to meet with Cuban artists, collect their work, and organize collaborative exhibitions in Havana. When asked what sort of photos he takes, Rosenkrantz often remarks that he prefers things that don’t move which means no brides, no babies, and no pets. With an evolving eye looking for that special confluence of light and shapes and mystery he has experimented with many formats and photo treatments. His work can be found in corporate and private collections and he has participated in many group and solo exhibitions in many venues in Cincinnati. In October 2019 his work was selected as a solo exhibit at Fabrica de Arte Cubano in Havana. Rosenkrantz is married to M Katherine Hurley, a local landscape painter who also has a studio at the Pendleton Art Center. He currently serves as a trustee for the Carnegie Performing Arts Center, the Cincinnati Preservation Association, and the Clifton Cultural Arts Center.
