About the Film
Southwest Ohio is home to a vibrant and thriving arts and cultural community. The Art Show, an Emmy Award-winning television series from CET and ThinkTV, celebrates that creative spirit by profiling artists, organizations, and cultural stories from across Cincinnati, Dayton, and the surrounding region.
This special CliftonFest presentation features a curated selection of short segments from the series, including profiles of Cincinnati artists Michael Coppage, sculptor Tom Tsuchiya, Gift and Romain Mayambi, and Jimi Jones.
The program also highlights community-focused stories, including Sew Valley, which explores a local sustainable fashion nonprofit; Lalovavi, documenting the launch of Cincinnati Opera’s groundbreaking Black Opera Project; and Hair: The Crown You Wear, a celebration of the art, history, and culture of Black hair.
