A couple of years ago, FRCH partnered with D.L Couch wallcovering and walked away with people’s choice! This year we didn’t disappoint. FRCH was asked by Theresa Schneider, our LG rep, to design, build, and model a dress all from LG. Without hesitation, we took on the challenge.

The people of Haiti are still feeling the pain of the earthquake of 2010, but the members of The Orange Tree Atelye (OTA Workshop) are still working hard to create a more sustainable Haiti for years to come. We are pleased to continue our FRCH/OTA relationship this spring. This is a blog by Alex Betsch, UC Urban Design Student.

In London and Paris, a multitude of Museums and Galleries house some of the most influential and amazing art in the world– but I’ve found, in both cities, the street art has an awe-inspiring and raw quality that is even more magnetic. For me, these pieces and the creativity they inspire span a gap between graffiti, street art and installation art and allow the streetscape to act as gallery.

May 13 was the 2nd annual FRCH clean-up day at the Gardens at Greenup. Never short for volunteers, there was plenty of help refurbishing the playground between the two residents’ buildings.

During the month of March we supported a cause near and dear to all of our hearts in the form of the annual ArtsWave (formerly Fine Arts Fund) campaign; an organization that funds and collaborates with a wide range of local art institutions to sustain our thriving arts community in Cincinnati.

We want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to Creative Fuel co-creator Lara Roller and her husband Michael on the new addition to their family. William Michael Roller was born on Tuesday, April 19th and both Mom and baby are healthy and happy! I think it’s safe to wager that William will be proficient in WordPress before he can walk!

It’s not often that one has the opportunity to mix their two biggest passions simultaneously. That is why it gives me the greatest pleasure to be FRCH’s campaign coordinator for ArtsWave this year, an opportunity that combines a strategic brand reinvention with the arts. As a strategist, I value brands that strive for greater consumer engagement, ones that have the courage to change, reinventing who they are in order to satisfy new audiences and broaden their mission. And as a member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s Choir: The May Festival, I am a music lover and am extremely grateful to live in a city with such a vibrant arts community. An arts community, I might add, that would not exist without ArtsWave, the foundation formerly known as The Fine Arts Fund. Read more of this post

I have experienced many highlights in my eight years with FRCH. Looking back, one of the biggest highlights has been our on-going partnership with the University of Cincinnati in an effort to create and introduce sustainable design solutions for the rebuilding of Haiti. This partnership has helped many individuals on many levels including the students, the University, FRCH staff, and most of all, those who were affected by the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit near Port-au-Prince Haiti on January 12, 2010.

Today kicked off our 2010 United Way Campaign here at FRCH with an awesome breakfast. As soon as you hit the lobby the smell of buttery goodness consumed the senses.
Paul Lechleiter served up more than fifty hot waffles which were decked out with a tremendous spread of toppings.
There is certainly a lot more fun to come in the next two weeks with the Wine Tasting, Ice Cream Social all culminating on the Grill Out with grand prize raffle and live music performances.
