FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LLOYD LIBRARY AND MUSEUM ANNOUNCES A NEW EXHIBITION

"If Wine is Sublime..." 

Art and Rare Books exhibition | Exhibition Dates: September 15 -
December 12, 2014

 

  Cincinnati, OH - August 26, 2014: If you're from the Cincinnati
region, you might know that the American winery business got its start
in Vevay, Indiana.  You might even know that 19th century businessman
Nicholas Longworth invented the Ohio sparkling wine from Catawba grapes.
We'll bet, though, that there's a lot more to grapes and wine than
perhaps you knew.    From the wine press to a proposed cure for cancer,
wine is a heady substance.

 

The Lloyd Library will showcase volumes from its collection dating from
the late 17th century up to the present which illuminate the history of
wine in the west.  From the great vineyards of Europe to the supposed
health benefits of wine, you can explore the beauty of the grape and the
magic of the winery.  

 

Art exhibition features several local artists alongside submissions from
a national call for art that feature artists from California, New York,
and even Germany.  The art runs from the traditional botanical
illustration style to sculpture, textile, and even video installation.
You won't want to miss this vintage show.
