Home to world-class symphony, opera, choral, and ballet companies and art museums that blend the historic—Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati Art Museum, American Sign Museum and Behringer-Crawford Museum—with modern exhibitions at the CAC and independent galleries in OTR, Camp Washington, Walnut Hills, Hyde Park, Covington, Mariemont, and Downtown; the Queen City knows its art. For stage buffs, two-time Tony Award winning Cincinnati Playhouse in Mt. Adams; Ensemble and Know Theatres and Cincinnati Shakespeare in Over-the-Rhine debut classic and original pieces of work, while citywide events like cutting-edge Fringe Festival, Summermusik, FotoFocus, BLINK, May Festival, Cincinnati Music Festival and Museum Center events and exhibitions anchor a vibrant arts and culture calendar.
