Greenacres Arts Center

Greenacres Art Center is a magical place. The grounds and the mansion feel like you are in some magical fantasy land. While it is generally closed to the public, the events are a must see. It is one of the few places in the city where you can see the Cinci Pops, the Opera, the May Festival Chorus and the Ballet all on the same stage. The summer concert series is a seems too good to be true for the price.The fall events are centered around the Greenacres Artists Guild, made up of 27 of the cities best realists fine artists and illustrators, are also quite fun. Aside from the opening art show in October, the events during the run of the show are pretty cool. The beer tasting and bourbon tastings make for a great way to check out the art while sampling local craft alcoholic beverages served by the company representatives. While the place can feel like you are entering a forbidden secret society with a long driveway lined with no trespassing signs, I recommend you check the place out. The staff are helpful and love to share info about the center. Proceeds from many of the events go to the foundations charitable activities, including the bus fund for bringing inner city kids to Indian Hills for educational programs in the arts and agriculture.

Attended a beer tasting event and art exhibit here on a Friday night and was not sure what to expect. Awesome! The estate is filled with history and beautifully maintained. The event with 4-5 breweries sampling and small bites was well executed. Crowd was friendly and a good mix of ages. I can't wait to come back!
