Events & Happenings

Coming Up at 516 Linn
LASCAUX Exhibition

Exhibition Opening
Thursday May 14th · 6-8 PM
Saturday May 16th · 4-7 PM

A forthcoming exhibition centered on novel LASCAUX by Chris Pray is coming to the experimental exhibition space at Poets Bunker at LINNcinnati. Separate from Soft Opening, this will be a dedicated exhibition opening inside one of the building’s newer creative spaces.

Join author Chris Pray for two days in May to experience LASCAUX and check out the Poets Bunker and experimental exhibitions.

LASCAUX is an immersive visual art experience of a sprawling 600 page experimental novel written as a sculpture.

Named after the paleolithic cave paintings in France, each chapter represents one of the 7 deadly sins. Accompanying a soudscape recorded by the author, the book upends conventional ideas about narrative while discussing the origins of value and ethics.

Experimental exhibitions at Poets Bunker are intended to make room for work, ideas, and formats that benefit from a more flexible, artist-led setting.

Watch for dates, opening details, and more as the program takes shape.

Jammin' at the
Bunker

Weekly Open Jam
Fridays · 6–9 PM(ish) · Poets Bunker, Suite 510

A recurring Friday evening inside Poets Bunker built around music, poetry, conversation, and the kind of creative spillover that happens when people gather in the same room. Jammin’ at the Bunker is informal by design — part open jam, part hang, part neighborhood crossover.

Stop by, bring a friend, meet someone new, and join in or just listen for a while.

All are welcome.
Piano tuning not guaranteed.
