I’m excited to finally share some big (very big, the BIGGEST) news publicly!

Anyone who has spent more than 4 minutes with me and/or attended a workshop over the last year and a half has heard a bit about this, and you may remember a sneak peek last fall of what’s been underway .

Buckle up.

My husband Jason and I bought a building. An empty warehouse in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Westwood to be precise. It is on Stathem avenue, just around the corner from Harrison avenue, in the DORA district, behind Wondercade and Game n Groove. You Westside history nerds may remember it as part of the Keidel compound, where the plumbing supplies were kept.

So what are we doing with it? We are converting it into an art center called Apropos Art Society, which will consist of 8 artist studios, a classroom for public workshops, and an art gallery.

We have been working with the owners of the property for a year and a half to privately purchase this lot, which was previously part of game n groove and Wondercade. The subdivision of the property through the city took one full year. We genuinely all thought we’d have it last summer, but we were young and naive then. We are much older and wiser now 😂.

But we all persevered and closed on it last Friday. Now the work really begins! We have exciting plans underway. Our architect and contractor have both been in to look at it and we can’t wait to work some magic with them.

Follow Apropos Art Society and stay tuned for updates!
