I can't say that I have been to the other art galleries downtown, but I found myself outside…read moreFabulous Frames & Art yesterday and decided to take a look. Fabulous Frames also has locations in Montgomery and Northgate, but its new downtown location is nice and very new looking. The framing and artwork store is actually family owned and operated, and has been since it was founded back in 1981. I really liked what I saw from an artwork standpoint, and although it wasn't as fancy or as unique as the stuff you would see at the 5th Street Gallery (in the Hilton Netherland Plaza), Fab Frames has a lot of neat prints and a ton of work from local artists such as Charley Harper. Being a big sports fan I was pretty into all the framed photos of sports stadiums and action shots (Bearcats, Reds, Bengals, Buckeyes, Fighting Irish), but they also have a great selection of framed Cincinnati cityscapes and panoramas. In addition to their typical "museum quality framing" (custom or pre-framed), Fabulous Frames also does residential and corporate art consulting and artwork installation, and they do worldwide shipping. Not to be overshadowed by their many great services, the staff is also very friendly. I definitely recommend stopping in if you are in the Vine and Race Street areas, and you shouldn't be disappointed.

Francis was very accomodating and worked diligently with me to analyze measurements and photos detailing the painting and the space, and made helpful recommendations to get just the right design. Francis ordered what was needed and when my daughter came in town he assembled the painting and frame with a quick turn-around so she could take it home in her car rather than have it shipped. The quality and craftsmanship was excellent. The painting looks beautiful, and my daughter was very happy with the result!

There is…read moresomething magical about watching the owner flip through the stacks ever so carefully to reveal the posters. I was surprised by how knowledgeable he was about the artists themselves. The owner has the entire collection memorized so you can tell him practically any genre (music, sports, art exhibitions, travel posters, fashion, military etc..) and he will find you something you would love or wasn't even expecting. We ended up getting two because we couldn't decide. They are definitely pricey but he can help you find something in your price range. Since we were coming from out of town he had the posters mailed and they arrived in perfect condition. We got the framed immediately and have been enjoying them every day.

This Michaels felt significantly bigger than the one we have at home and they have self checkout which isn't an option at the Benton Harbor location. I ended up buying stickers and 2 molds originally meant for baking, but I use them for resin projects. Having been home for a bit, both the molds work well for what I needed them for and the stickers work as expected as well. Bathrooms were clean, employees were nice, and store is well organized. Things are well prices as well as most items being on sale and having coupons through the phone app.

It's the perfect date spot--casual, creative, and full of opportunities to wander, talk, and discover something new together. With eight full floors of artist studios, there's always something different to see. You can meet the artists, hear the stories behind their work, and truly connect with the pieces in a way you just can't in a traditional gallery. The talent in residence is incredible--I'm genuinely running out of wall space at home because I keep finding pieces I can't leave behind. What makes it even better is the neighborhood itself. Pendleton neighborhood is full of wonderful restaurants and cocktail bars, making it easy to turn an art walk into a full night out. And if you're not quite ready for the evening to end, there's even a late-night ice cream parlor nearby--perfect for keeping the conversation going. If you're looking for a unique, inspiring night out that feels both cultured and relaxed, this is it. Cincinnati is lucky to have a place like this.
