Colored pencil art works? By grownups?

If you thought the colored pencil was an artistic medium reserved for grade school, members of the Greater Cincinnati Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society of America will be quick to dissuade you.

The group has a show up at the downtown YWCA right now that features multiple works from more than a dozen artists. The styles are varied; the subject matter — usually highly realistic — can be anything from a pair of giraffes to the New York City subway.

Through April 16. Read a review and get event details and find nearby bars and restaurants here.
