As a baseball town heavily populated with artists and creatives, Covington, Ky.’s BLDG seeks to celebrate two of Cincinnati’s greatest loves: rooting for its home team and appreciating art, so it’s hosting the art event 199C. The exhibit will showcase work from more than 40 artists with local and international backgrounds. Each piece’s theme will celebrate baseball, Cincinnati and, of course, Opening Day. BLDG is shutting down Pike Street Friday night for the opening, transforming it into a pop-up Wiffle Ball stadium. The festivities continue with live music from Automagik, vintage video game competitions, a live art installation and food truck cuisine. Artwork will remain on display at BLDG through April 25.
4 p.m. Friday. Free. BLDG, 30 W. Pike St., Covington, Ky., bldgrefuge.com/199c.
