Art for All

The Taft Museum of Art has installed 80 reproductions from its collection around Greater Cincinnati in order to celebrate its 80th anniversary. We first noticed the Rembrandt on Fountain Square a few weeks ago and have since seen buzz about the "Art for All" project online. The program officially runs from June 1st through September 2012 and was funded by The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation. (soapbox.com)

The reproductions are all framed and weather proof. The 80th anniversary commemoration also includes partnerships with other organizations in the community. For example, ArtWorks is set to create two murals based on works in the Taft's collection. These permanent murals will be installed in Over-the-Rhine and Bellevue, Kentucky.

Locations and pieces include: William Maris' "Cattle in the Meadows," displayed at Findlay Market, James Abbott McNeill Whistler's, "At the Piano," displayed at Music Hall, Jacob Maris' "Rotterdam," which you can find at Newport on the Levee, and there are many, many more.
