Last fall, on October 11, 2008, as part of Cincinnati's 20 Days/20 Nights celebration, District A opened to all. Here’s a glimpse of what you enjoyed along Montgomery Road between Kennedy and Losantiville Avenues. The day started with the “Tie-Dye Mile” at 10 a.m., a leisurely one-mile walk with family and friends or a sprint along the District A Corridor.
All morning you can sample free dance classes at ballet tech. Here are some of the performers and artist you enjoyed: the Adagio Trio on the porch of the Kennedy Heights Arts Center, children’s activities at the Pleasant Ridge Library, community art with Happen, Inc.
Music was everywhere all afternoon: sounds of Ryan Adcock, Souse, JazzItUp, K-Drama’s Christian rap, Tracy Walker, Mike Fair & the Adventure Seekers, the Nativity C.O.D.E., and more.
A special ‘retrospective’ exhibit at the corner of Ridge/Montgomery let you meet five artist neighbors who call District A their home: 20th century modernists Noel Martin and Coletta Martin, photographer Gordon Baer, and watercolorists Nancy Nordloh Neville (demonstration at 1:30), and Bruce Neville (demonstration at 3:00).
Other performers include: Stephen Moore, Young Jazz Messengers, Maureen Martin, Serenity Fisher, Greg Mahan, Julie Spangler Klug and Tyler Eccard.
