This year’s Cincinnati Music Festival (CMF) honored the 50th anniversary of hip hop. That theme carried over into the CMF Outdoor Museum, with works inspired by “For All Life’s Beats: A Celebration of 50 Years of Hip-Hop,” on display in Washington Park through Aug. 10.
The CMF Outdoor Museum kicked off on Friday, July 14 in Washington Park, with artists creating works, drawing inspiration from the culture and music of hip-hop. Nine of the ten artists are new to exhibiting in the museum, and includes regional artists and work by those from from Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus and Dayton.
The artists created their artwork live in the park capturing the legacy of 50 years of hip-hop. The finished works are currently on display in Washington Park and will be moved to a seasonal location at Court Street Plaza, through partnership with 3CDC.
