Miami University is bringing part of the “most beautiful campus that ever there was” to downtown Cincinnati.
Acclaimed poet Robert Frost used those words to describe Miami’s campus during one of his visits to the university’s Oxford location. Imagery of the university’s iconic beauty are an integral part of a three-dimensional, nearly eight-foot beveled M now appearing outside of Cincinnati’s renowned Aronoff Center for the Arts.
The temporary art installation, located on the corner of Walnut and 7th Streets, was created in collaboration with the Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA), the nonprofit that oversees both the Aronoff Center and Music Hall, considered among the region’s most highly regarded cultural landmarks.
“When people think of these facilities, they think of world-class talent and large Broadway shows, but they are so much more,” said Bridget Benton, chief operating officer of CAA. “We are a connector that brings the arts into schools, hospitals, neighborhoods, and the lives of the people across Greater Cincinnati.
“Without the generosity of organizations like Miami University, our ability to fulfill our mission would be diminished. Together, we ensure that the arts remain a vital and accessible resource that strengthens not only the cultural fabric but also the economic impact of our city.”
Similar to beveled M displays on Miami’s campuses, the Aronoff Center piece has been engineered for durability and safety. It represents a meaningful and accessible element of the Miami experience to be shared with the greater Cincinnati community.
The installation also is representative of Miami’s enduring commitment to Southwest Ohio and a symbol of the university’s dedication to promote the arts and honor Miamians who have studied, performed, or enjoyed the arts.
Miami has nearly 60,000 alumni in the Cincinnati market and another 15,000 in the Dayton region.
“The art installation at the Aronoff Center represents the heartfelt connection Miami University has to the region and the many Miamians who call Cincinnati home,” said Jessica Rivinius, vice president and chief marketing and communications officer at Miami. “We are proud to play a role in supporting the Aronoff Center and Cincinnati’s vibrant arts scene.”
