A Chow Hall to an Exhibition Hall
Where once this space functioned as the “chow hall” for hundreds of captive county inmates, it’s now structured to present exhibitions and programming that foster cooperation, exploration, and a little joy. Outfitted with nails, screws, wire, fresh paint, picture-perfect studio lighting, and moveable walls formerly of the Miller Gallery, Studio LINNcinnati began as a temporary setup to display work by Kevin Horan (“Meet Ginger”).
When that exhibition wrapped, the “temporary gallery” looked a little too good to dismantle. A tenant show followed, then a collaboration with Eisele Gallery and several local and regional artists — and the idea of Studio LINNcinnati took hold.
Today, Studio LINNcinnati presents six exhibitions each year: five developed and curated with the steady hand of Cincinnati staple (and part-time LINNcinnati resident) Eisele Gallery, and one reserved exclusively for the LINNcinnati community. Built on building and community engagement, the space is designed to grow with its artists, its ideas, and its audience.
