DAYTON ›› SCENE Art of the Brick Block Party
On Oct. 21, Cincinnati Museum Center guests were among the first to see the new special exhibit, “The Art of the Brick,” which opened to the public on Oct. 23. The Block Party opened the door to the world’s largest display of LEGO art by contemporary artist Nathan Sawaya. With more than 100 works created entirely from LEGO bricks, the exhibit has been named a CNN Top 10 “Global Must See Exhibition.” Guests also tried their hand at a speed build or buildin-a-bag against friends, struck a pose with Framester in their photobooth and grooved with Jon Jon from Q102 all night.
