ArtsWave’s Macy’s Arts Sampler returns for the final weekend next Saturday, April 12 and will once again offer Tri-State families the opportunity to “sample” a wide variety of FREE arts events and performances at community arts centers and other arts organizations across the Tri-State.
We love ArtsWave’s Macy’s Arts Sampler because at the heart of it, it is all about getting parents & kids out and exploring the arts, perhaps even visiting arts organizations for the first time, with their families. It breaks down potential barriers of trying something new and brings people together to explore the arts and try fun, new creative experiences. If your kids are like mine they aren’t always open to trying new things without a trial run, and sometimes you just really need to see something in person before you realize how much you would enjoy it! Macy’s Arts Sampler is the perfect way to try out many different arts experiences and find something new you and your family will love!
Here are some highlights for the final ArtsWave weekend on Saturday, April 12:
- Cincinnati Shakespeare Company — Celebrate Bill, The Bard’s Birthday and Enjoy Romeo and Juliet – 1:00-4:00 -Help celebrate The Bard’s birthday with some hands-on fun activities in the lobby prior to a performance of the classic tragic love story of Romeo & Juliet.
