Studio Kroner is honored to present “The Art of John Agnew”, a rare opportunity to experience the work of Cincinnati-based naturalist and artist John Agnew.

> Opening Reception: Thursday, October 30 | 6–9 pm

> Artist Talk: Saturday, November 8 | 1–2 pm

> Closing Reception: Saturday, November 29 | 1–4 pm

John Agnew has spent a lifetime exploring the beauty and complexity of the natural world. With a background in museum curation and exhibit design, his murals and dioramas can be found in institutions from the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences—and even as far as Moscow.

Agnew now focuses on fine art, primarily in scratchboard and plein air painting. His art merges scientific precision with expressive composition, influenced by 19th-century zoological engravings and his mother’s abstract expressionism. Through this unique lens, he shines a light on our world's overlooked and often “unloved” creatures, showing that every species is worthy of respect and admiration.

His work has been exhibited internationally, published in books and magazines, and featured in U.S. embassies abroad. This exhibition at Studio Kroner offers an intimate look into Agnew’s artistic journey—where science, nature, and creativity converge.

Join us to celebrate a master observer of nature and his extraordinary ability to reveal the dignity in every corner of the living world.

In a zoo full of stars, he’s ready to shine!

Everyone knows Fiona the hippo, but her little brother Fritz is still figuring out who he wants to be. In this new family-friendly musical, Hippo Cove’s newest arrival is ready to wade out of the background and into his own big moment. Having a world-famous big sister, though, makes Fritz wonder if there’s any spotlight left for him. When he sets out to find what makes him special, the path isn’t always clear, but with some help from the zoo’s colorful cast of animals, Fritz discovers that standing out starts by listening, learning, and leaning on those who believe in you. Full of humor and heart—and a few muddy puddles along the way!—this is a story about family, finding your place, and the courage it takes to create your own splash.

In this art class for the preschool set (ages 2-4), we will read and explore a different picture book each week and then make our own art inspired by the story using a variety of materials. Dress to allow for a mess! Grownups must stay with their young artists during the class.

All classes take place at The Upside Brew (329 Ludlow Avenue): arrive early to purchase coffee before class begins!

This class is FREE, but space is limited: registration is required to reserve your seat!
