Cincinnati / Ohio / Wikipedia Loves Art Meetup

I'm going to plan on being at the Taft Museum for the Wikipedia Loves Art event / contest on this coming Sunday the 22nd from 11-12. I'm hoping I'll get a chance to meet up with other Wikipedians, photographers, and art lovers. Although this is a way to hopefully encourage participation in that project, I hope other Wikipedians will feel free to come and chat. It is not necessary to pay admission to come into the cafe portion of the Taft. Please stop by and see me!

See my previous post, the Wikipedia project page, or the Flickr group for more about the Wikipedia Loves Art project.

Hey Dave - Sounds like a fun event; is Sunday @ 11 the official time to be at the Taft? Also, is the museum waiving the admission fee for those participating?

Ryan,

I haven't gotten "official" word from the Taft on this, so as of right now I think participants will still have to pay normal admission ($12). Sorry about that. If I can work anything out with them, I will.

The event is really running during the entire month of February, so you can visit anytime that works for you. I'm just promoting this time and date because it's the only time I'm going to able to be there in person.

Let me know if you have any other quesetions.

Thanks!

Good news everyone!

I just found out that this weekend just so happens to be Sampler Weekend and so admission is going to be free for all!

There will be a couple other events going on at the museum this weekend also. http://taftmuseum.org/cal.php?m=2&d=21&y=2009
