Where can you find one subscription that comes with access to visual art, music, dance and theater from nationally renowned Black artists? In the Cincinnati region, there's only one answer: ArtsWave's Flow Pass.
The 2024-2025 Flow Pass subscription comes with five epic experiences of contemporary Black artistry, and each comes with a special Flow Social gathering featuring cocktails, light bites, great art and great company. When you subscribe, you get it all for one low advance price.
Need more reasons to subscribe? Let's take a closer look at a few of the events on the subscription:
1. Gee Horton's "Coming of Age"
Cincy artist Gee Horton brings his "Coming of Age" series to the walls of Vine Street for BLINK® 2024. The series is an intimate exploration of African American adolescence, steeped in hip-hop iconography. Flow subscribers are invited to the unveiling of the first completed mural. And, this isn't just an unveiling; it's a celebration. Mingle with Gee Horton himself, toast to the artistry and hard work of the paint crews, and immerse yourself in the creative process. The evening includes a guided walk around the neighborhood with BLINK directors, offering a sneak peek at other murals in progress.
2. SIMPLY THE BEST: The Music of Tina Turner
Prepare to be swept off your feet by the electrifying tribute to Tina Turner, the indomitable Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra will take you on a musical odyssey through Tina Turner's career, which spans over five decades and includes more than 180 million records sold worldwide. This isn't just a concert; it's a journey through the life of a legend who gave us timeless hits like "Simply the Best," "Private Dancer," and "We Don't Need Another Hero."
3. Step Afrika!
Step into the world of percussive dance with Step Afrika!, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Recognized as one of the top ten African American dance companies in the U.S., Step Afrika! is the authority on the art form of stepping. This unique dance style, rooted in the traditions of historically African American fraternities and sororities, is a powerful blend of rhythm, movement, and storytelling showcasing the vibrant tapestry of African American culture, history and artistic expression.
... and even more!
Stay tuned for two more exciting events in our Flow series. Next summer, don't miss a thought-provoking conversation with Charles Gaines on "The American Manifest," a monumental project exploring themes of American capitalism, colonialism and racism through art installations and musical compositions. Plus, keep an eye out for our fifth event announcement coming in Fall 2024, promising another unforgettable experience that celebrates Black artistry and culture.
Each all-inclusive event includes cocktails, light bites, great art and great company. Get your Flow Pass today!
