This Historic Preservation Month, Help Memorial Hall "Shine On!"

This Historic Preservation Month, help Memorial Hall “shine on” with a fresh, clean façade for its tenth anniversary post-renovation!  Our goal is $15,000 to support a specialty chemical pressure wash of the sandstone and granite comprising the historic venue’s remarkable front entrance.

"Shine On!” is the latest stage in Memorial Hall’s $1.5 million capital campaign, a collaboration of the Cincinnati Memorial Hall Society, 3CDC, and Hamilton County.  To date, $1.1 million has been raised from individual giving, private foundations, and the building’s owner, Hamilton County.  Those funds have been used to start or complete critical preservation efforts, including:

Roof Replacement ✔️
Skyward-Facing Masonry Repairs ✔️
Copper Box Gutter Replacement ✔️
Rewiring of Proscenium Arches ✔️
Resurfacing Wood Floors ✔️
Restoration of Historic Wood Doors – In process
Restoration of Historic Wood Windows – In process
Interior Plaster Repair & Decorative Painting – In process

Please consider a donation in any amount to help Memorial Hall Shine On!  Even a small gift will go a long way toward ensuring that our treasured venue looks as fantastic as the day it opened nearly 120 years ago.

Donations to non-profit Memorial Hall are fully tax-deductible.

Memorial Hall presents Veterans Art Exhibition

Ticket holders to our sold-out John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band concert on Tuesday, November 9, in the Longworth-Anderson Series will have the opportunity to experience the Veterans Art Exhibition currently on view at Memorial Hall!

In celebration of Veterans Day, featured artwork will include pieces created by local veterans who have participated in the Creative Arts Therapy program at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. Mediums included in past veteran shows have included painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography; applied art that includes ceramics, woodcarving, needlework, and leatherwork; and craft kits such as string art, fabric art, and wood building. This exhibition is part of a veteran’s therapy and provides recognition for their artistic accomplishments.
