The Bowen House is a great cultural arts center, but not the only one in the area. It's website links itself with three other places, Dairy Barn, Decorative Arts Center and Stuart's Opera House. These places all offer awesome cultural experiences within the small area of Southeast Ohio.
The Dairy Barn is located in Athens and is currently one of Southeast Ohio's art galleries. It was originally built and used as an actual dairy barn and was razed in 1977. It's currently listed on the National Registrar of Historic Places. Starting Friday, March 6 through April 9, Puppets and Mythology: Southeast Asia exhibit will be on display. It showcases Indonesian Puppet Theatre along with other Southeast Asia storytelling.
Decorative Arts Center is located in Lancaster and offers many one day exhibits and programs. For instance, Fifth Third Fridays, is a combined effort from Decorative Arts Center and Fifth Third Bank, and it had interactive galleries, live music and food. The dates of Fifth Third Fridays this Spring are March 6, May 1 and June 5.

I love the Dairy Barn! I'm really glad you decided to include it here. They offer all sorts of neat "artsy" things. Last spring I took a glass bead making class there. They have really great weekend art workshops. The website explains more, but I know they offer stained glass and pottery as well. For OU's Mom's Weekend they also have a sale where artisans from all over come and sell their pieces. They have so much neat stuff. I highly recommend the classes and the Mom's Weekend festivities.
ReplyDeleteI liked the video about Stuart's Opera House. It sounds like a sweet place. It's weird to think that Willie Nelson was in Nelsonville though. I wonder what he thought of it, haha.
ReplyDeleteSara, that's really cool that you went there and took the glass bead making. I think it would be hilarious to do artsy stuff with my mom there because we are so bad at art.
ReplyDeleteBG, I'm glad you liked the video. I thought it was really cool how they put that right on their website. It's really interesting and informative
