A new study suggests there is a connection between the arts and civic engagement.
ArtsWave and Agenda 360 partnered for “Snapshot 2012: Arts Engagement in Greater Cincinnati.” It was a survey of the general population in the Greater Cincinnati area that for the first time provides baseline data on arts engagement in the region.
Zachary Copfer is making some pretty unusual art using unconventional means. Like it implies, his "Bacteriography" involves developing images in plates of bacteria. The microbiologist turned visual artist makes use of E. coli bacteria and S.marcescens and then treats them with the DNA from jellyfish. The University of Cincinnati graduate got nationwide press last year when he first unveiled his works at a Cincinnati art show.
