Good Design. Unique Gifts. Fabulous Artists. Great Festivities. Everyone deserves good design this season. This Thursday, 4:30-9pm, come and enjoy a festive shopping experience at the Contemporary Arts Center, as well as a wine and cheese reception with music and first-hand insights from Good Design artisans, including Maya and Michael of VisuaLingual, who will be on site to talk about their work.
Starting this Saturday, you can shop for VisuaLingual holiday gifts at Winter Yoo-Hoo, a pop-up craft shop of handmade gifts by regional artists at ArtWorks. The gallery is located at 811 Race St. downtown, and special holiday hours will be Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and Saturdays noon-5pm [with edible treats on Saturdays]. The shop runs 6 Dec-22 Dec.
We are proud to be part of this year’s Secret ArtWorks, an annual fundraiser for ArtWorks, which includes the display and sale of over 1000 small pieces of art by local, national and international artists. The works are exhibited in the Westin lobby this week, in preparation for the main event Friday night in the Westin ballroom. Here are the pieces we contributed.
This Saturday, 1 Nov, we will be exhibiting and discussing our work at the Cincinnati Art Museum as part of Family First Saturday, and in conjunction with two just-opened design exhibits [China Design Now and Ryan McGinness: Aesthetic Comfort]. We will be stationed in the 3rd floor contemporary galleries from 1 to 4pm, showing a selection of our Over-the-Rhine-centered work including a couple of brand-new projects. The event is kid-friendly, but grown-ups are welcome, too. Plus, it’s free!
We recently entered the Fourth Annual Fall Colors Contest on Apartment Therapy, and our home has been selected as one of the finalists in our region! Click here to view our entry and to vote [hopefully for us!]. See all the entries here.
Big announcement: our studio is having its first major sale! Now through the end of October, each item in the VisuaLingual Etsy shop is discounted by $10 for a savings of up to 50%. If you’re in the Cincinnati area, contact us to arrange an in-person pick-up. Stay tuned for a whole bunch of new stuff in November!

The 51 artists and designers in this show conceive and interpret the alphabet in surprising and inventive ways, ranging from graceful and polished to witty and unconventional. Participants include Michael Stout and his Imageability type family, based on The Image of the City by Kevin Lynch. Alphabet was curated by Post Typography and organized by Artscape.
