Parties in the Park are a staple of Cincinnati summer entertainment. But in the winter and early spring, parties with the arts perpetuate the social scene. Food, drinks and live music are the standard accoutrements. But if the guy meandering by the impressionist painting looks like a possibility, art provides unique ice-breaking opportunities. Most people come straight from work and start their weekends still dressed in their business casual.
Live music provides background sounds.
It gets crowded by the bar, but plenty of spots for quiet conversation exist. A fairly diverse and incredibly friendly crowd is represented, but, a majority are yuppie-esque and in their twenties and thirties. Lots of looking and flirting, and a subtle graduated frat-party feel is involved. Learn more about the Cincinnati Art Museum . Subscribe to Cincinnati's Entertainment Newsletter .
