Nicholas Gallery
23 East Court St.
Cincinnati, OH
Maya Drozdz worked with Nick Paddock, owner of Nicholas Gallery, located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, to organize an exhibit of tea towels by artists and designers worldwide. The opening reception is Fri, 11 Jul, 6-10 pm.
Created by designer Maya Drozdz of VisuaLingual and writer Sean Fisher of BuyCincy, the Cincinnati Design Guide covers great shops and sightseeing destinations, as well as cool spots to grab a bit to eat [or grab a cup of coffee], with a focus on downtown, Over-the-Rhine, Northside, Clifton, Mount Adams, O’Bryonville, Oakley+Hyde Park, and Covington.
This Final Friday, artist- and designer-embellished paper birdhouses will be on display at OTR shops including MiCA 12/v, Park + Vine, Metronation, City Roots, and Outside. They will then be auctioned off in a silent auction to benefit OTR Community Housing. The birdhouses are a new product from GreenBird, a company based in Over-the-Rhine.
In summer 2008, Nicholas Gallery, located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, will host an exhibit of tea towels from all over the world. Functional and non-functional entries are sought. Whether you’re a designer with a line of functional tea towels, or an artist curious about pushing a mundane form in an exciting new direction, click here for more details on entering your work.
We opened up our humble abode to do a fun house tour for the interior design site Rearranged Design.

Maya’s Paper Quilt
Apartment Therapy
29 January 07
Greetings from Cincinnati! We live in a swank, huge loft in Over-the-Rhine, but our bedroom is a small, awkward space with a fairly high ceiling. We struggled with the space above the bed: we wanted something large on the wall that would brighten up the room and make good use of the ceiling height. I’d like to share with you and your readers our quick and simple decorating solution, using colored drawing paper and double-stick tape. It’s sort of an hommage to Gee’s Bend; we call it paper quilting [like paper architecture]. We don’t know how well it will hold up over time, but we’re really happy after spending $12 and putting in a few hours of work.
The New York chapter of the AIGA, along with the Worldstudio Foundation and the Times Square Alliance, organized a unique installation of streetlight banners throughout Times Square. We were honored to have been selected among the 185 participants worldwide. The banners were on display during Fall 06, after which they were recycled into totebags designed by Jack Spade. The designs were also available as limited-edition t-shirts. All proceeds benefitted the Worldstudio AIGA Scholarships and the AIGA/NY Mentoring Program. You can view our banner design here.
