Opening
Reception August 9th, 6-8 pm
Kennedy Heights
Arts Center is pleased to announce the opening
of Click 2008, an exhibition devoted entirely to the medium of
photography. This is our fourth year of
the show featuring a diverse array of black and white, color, and digital photography. All are invited to a free Opening Evening
Reception on Saturday, August 9th from 6-8 p.m. with complimentary refreshments
and entertainment. Thanks to our
exhibition season sponsor National
City.
A special
feature of Click 2008 is the American Society of Media Photographers'
One-and-Only Item show. This imaginative
annual exhibition sponsored by ASMP originated 14 years ago and travels to
several galleries in the Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Kennedy
Heights Arts
Center is honored to be
one of the selected venues. Each year,
photographers are challenged to create original artwork that incorporates a
specific ordinary object. The item for
this year's exhibition is clear packaging tape!
Although every photograph must include packaging tape somehow, the
results are varied and imaginative in style and form. The Best of Show winner each year gets to
pick the item for the next year's exhibition.
This year's exhibit includes the work of over 40 practicing professional
ASMP member photographers.
Click runs
from August 9 - September 13, 2008.
Gallery hours are Saturdays 10 am - 4 pm and by appointment. For more information, please call 631-4278.

CincyAfterSchool Enrichment Program
What you need to know about the '08-'09
CincyAfterSchool Enrichment Program!
What is CincyAfterSchool?
CAS is a program offered to 5 through 12 year olds at Pleasant Ridge Montessori
School and local
neighborhood communities. The goals of the program are to provide
children with enrichment activities Monday through Friday from 2:15-5:45.
CINCYAFTERSCHOOL IS NOT A DAYCARE, we provide children with unique
opportunities to develop social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills.
How do I register my child for CincyAfterSchool?
We will have a registration booth at the PRM Meet &
Greet, Sunday, August 17 between 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. You will receive your
registration packet at the door and it will be collected upon completion that
evening. Packets turned in after 4:00 that evening will be added to the wait
list.
What is the cost of CincyAfterSchool?
This year CAS will be implementing the first phase of its
sustainability plan. Therefore each child will pay a registration fee of
$50 a semester.
How will children be chosen to participate in CincyAfterSchool? Students
will be selected by random lottery this year. Students not drawn in the
lottery will be added to a wait list. A letter will be sent home with
your child that indicates if you are in the program or on the waiting list.
Community members not enrolled at Pleasant Ridge will be notified via
phone.
When will the program begin?
If you are chosen through the lottery there will be a
mandatory parent meeting Sept. 2nd or 3rd. Full day programming will begin
Sept. 15th.
What activities will children be involved in during CincyAfterSchool?
Children will have the opportunity to participate in 2
enrichment activities daily (such as yoga, art, environmental activities,
karate, aerobics, sign language, ballet, hip hop, science club, Women Writing
for a Change, crafting, chess, games, and field trips). Every child will
then attend an academic/tutoring session from 4:30-5:45.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON THE 17TH AND WILL ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE AT THAT TIME!
