BLINK Cincinnati — one of the largest light, art and projection mapping events in the nation — returns to Cincinnati Oct. 10 – 13, but you don’t have to wait to see cool illuminations. In celebration of its 25th season, Weston Art Gallery presents “Emanate” Sept. 13 – Nov. 17, a group exhibition featuring light-based work created with phosphorescent paint, neon sculptures, illuminated photography, video and projection.

Bring the kids to check it out, and while there, learn about the Families Create! educational art workshops for $5 a child.

Weston is located in the Aronoff Center for the Arts at 650 Walnut Street. Check out the exhibit and workshop schedules at visit cincinnatiarts.org/weston-art-gallery.
