Robert Cox+FollowHow Phil Santoro is fueling young Cincinnati entrepreneursLaunching your first company at 13 sounds wild, but Phil Santoro did just that—and now he’s paying it forward in Cincinnati.

Nathaniel Cunningham+FollowCincinnati’s beloved DAAP statues hit the roadEthan and Violet, the quirky statues that have watched over UC’s DAAP building for nearly 20 years, have left their iconic ledge for a new adventure downtown at the Contemporary Arts Center. Students returning from break were surprised to find the fifth floor a little emptier—and it turns out, the sculptures are now part of a special UC exhibition. Their creator, Alan Marrero, only found out after the fact! These statues have become a campus legend, even surviving a student-led “heist” years ago. What do you think—should campus art stay put, or is it cool to share it with the city? #Entertainment #Painting #Cincinnati00Share
