Art After Hours
Art After Hours returns for a night of art, music, doughnuts and flowers.
The annual program takes place Friday, July 29 from 7-9 pm at the Carrico/Fort Thomas Branch, which will close at 5 pm to set up for the program.
17 artists will be featured and each will be on hand to discuss their work, which varies in form and medium – from woodwork to painting to pottery. Select items will be available for purchase.
Plus, enjoy music from Cincinnati-based blues musician Ricky Nye, snacks from Moonrise Doughnuts and floral arrangements from Fort Thomas Florist & Greenhouses.
The event is free and open to the public. Take a look at all the featured artists’ work below.

Event attendees will cast their votes for Best Overall and Best for Summer Reading Theme in each age category. Winners will receive a Michael’s gift card!
