Congratulations to Cincinnati’s own Able Projects on a fantastic installation that opened at the Contemporary Arts Center last Saturday. Entitled Stay Up! Cincinnati, the street art-style project highlights some of Cincinnati’s more notable hometown heroes and heroines, including Annie Oakley, Charles Ezzard and Doris Day.
The project was executed in collaboration with ArtWorks and is currently installed in the UnMuseum on the top floor of the CAC, which could really stand to maybe mention it on its own site. Srsly.

This was a great installation and really went beyond anyone’s expectations. What a fabulous piece from two very talented artists! If you haven’t seen it yet, Now is a great time to go there and catch the awesome Fairey exhibit and the Able installation.
Great work Able P’s!
The UnMuseum consistently shows some of the most interesting work I’ve seen at the CAC, this installation included.
Looove this! Is that silk-screened wallpaper forming the background?
Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing so much incredible art that you see in Cincinnati. I would have no idea that there’s so much going on where you live.
It’s a great project! Christine, the wallpaper-ish stuff is actually wheatpasted screenprints. It’s not quite as neat-looking as proper wallpaper would be, but it’s cleaner than random wheatpasted posters.
