September 25 & 26, 2010: The First Annual Raymond Thunder-Sky Folk Art Carnival Taking place in the parking lot of Building Value, 4040 Spring Grove Avenue, Northside in Cincinnati, Ohio, this art fair showcases conntemporary folk, outsider, and other unconventional artists and the organizations that support them, by providing a venue to sell their works and celebrate what they do. Sponsored by www.thunderskyinc.org and www.buildingvalue.org.
October 29, 2010 - December 31, 2010: "Welcome to Lonely Mountain Community Center: An Installation by Bruce Burris & Rainy Day, New Works by Aaron Oliver Wood" features work by Bruce Burris, an artist from Lexington, Kentucky whose pieces have been featured across the United States. Burris' installation consists of a large, room-sized bulletin-board that displays scraps and ephemera both lighthearted and freighted with meanings far beyond their function. Aaron Oliver Wood lives in Cincinnati and creates detailed, straightforward but still somehow enigmatic drawings. Happening at the same time in the Raymond Room: “Fables of the Deconstruction: A Decade of Raymond Thunder-Sky Influence” surveys through photos, documents, art, and video the influence Raymond Thunder-Sky’s art and life has had culturally in Cincinnati and beyond, using as a starting point the first time Raymond showed his work publically in 2000 through his death in 2004 to the gallery and organization established in his name celebrating its first year of exhibitions and programming.
