There is a good argument art-making is a unique human evolution. And maybe you make it yourself! You don't have to make art to like it; you don't have to like all art. There is no universal good or bad art. If YOU like it, it's good! Solway has had a gallery since 1962. That means many of his personal artist friends have entered museums over time, beginning with the Fluxus movement. But the gallery is always on the lookout for new artists too! The gallery seems to have an interest in colorful neo-baroque figurative work. They post mail show cards and their artists and shows are on their website. If I were in town, I'd stop in for an opening. If you have the time and a particular interest, you can make an appointment to view their vast stored collection. They have a large parking lot for the building they share with studios in the West End. Solway would be in the top 20 NY galleries with deep contemporary collections, and they are right here in Cincinnati!

The Framery offers a framing service for anything you bring in, but also for any of the artwork that is for sale in the store. They have a lot of cartoons from Emerson as well as Borgman. You can buy large strips of the Zit's cartoon, some of his posters, and some of his political cartoons from the newspapers. Browsing around the store I found some really neat things. There are several stacks of paintings and prints that feature local architectural designs and buildings. There were old newspaper and advertisements for the Suspension Bridge back when it was first built. They've got a great collection of historical local prints! These make great gifts too!

Thunder-Sky, an autistic Native American, sketched demolition and construction sites throughout the Queen City. When he passed away in 2004, he left behind 2,000 drawings and a variety of costumes. Thunder-Sky Inc. was founded to preserve the legacy through art exhibits, educational programs, and an exhibition space for unconventional art. Many of Raymond's works of art and outfits can be viewed at the gallery which is opened Friday evenings and weekend afternoons. Prints of Thunder-Sky's work are available for purchase for $50.00 with proceeds contributing to the operation of the gallery. Since his passing, Raymond's art has been collected by enthusiasts across the nation.

The theme was crime scenes so I just had to attend. I could not recall ever being at Thunder-Sky before which made it more of a special treat. I walked up because it was nice out but discovered there was plenty of street parking upon my arrival. The gallery is located in an older but attractive building with a sign hanging over the sidewalk. The exhibit hall is smaller then some but it looks spacious and bright. I found the crime scene paintings and mixed media works very fun and engaging. Down a staircase was more exhibition space. I loved seeing what appeared to be an ongoing Golden Girls' tribute display with framed and mixed media pieces. This is where the food and drink was found. In addition to the typical fruit, meat, pretzels, crackers & cheese was a delicious chocolate cake of a heavier texture with chocolate icing. On top of the cake were these awesome little plastic hatchets like the kind you might murder someone with. How cool is that! By the staircase was a nice variety of cold cans of beer and water. Out the back door there is a small patio space offering a view of the hillside. I really like this art gallery. I plan to return here again. Until next time be kind to each other. #yelpcincy #thunder-sky #crimesceneart

My only regret from our visit is we only allowed 90 minutes. I would say at least two hours plus to see everything without rushing. They also offer guided tours, not sure of the duration on those.
