Bridgette Bogle: Bad Boundaries at Weston

Bridgette Bogle’s “Bad Boundaries” is on view at the Weston Art Gallery in downtown Cincinnati through August 30, according to Cincinnati Arts Association. The exhibition opened July 3 and is installed in the gallery’s West Gallery at the Aronoff Center complex at 650 Walnut Street. (cincinnatiarts.org) Cincinnati Arts describes the show as a contemporary exhibition built from domestic materials shaped into three-dimensional works. The show is one of three exhibitions running at the Weston on the same July 3-August 30 schedule, alongside Zachary Armstrong’s “Encaustic House” and Aaron Coleman’s “Sentinels,” according to the gallery’s listings. That places Bogle’s work within a larger summer presentation across the venue’s two-level exhibition program. (cincinnatiarts.org) The Weston says it presents artists from both the regional scene and the broader contemporary art world. ### What, exactly, is in “Bad Boundaries”? Cincinnati Arts says Bridgette Bogle “stretches, pads, paints, and secures” a range of domestic materials into three-dimensional works. The organization’s exhibition page says some of the pieces stand freely in space while others are mounted on the wall. (cincinnatiarts.org) That description places the show between sculpture, painting and installation rather than in a single medium. The exhibition listing does not publish a work count, dimensions or checklist in the preview text now online. The available description instead centers on process and material handling, emphasizing how household-associated materials are altered and assembled for display in the gallery. (cincinnatiarts.org) ### Where is the Weston Art Gallery and how do visitors find it? The Weston Art Gallery is located at 650 Walnut Street in Cincinnati, in the northwest corner of the Aronoff Center at Seventh and Walnut streets, according to Cincinnati Arts. The venue says it sits in downtown Cincinnati’s restaurant and theater district and operates as part of Cincinnati Arts Association’s programming. (cincinnatiarts.org) Everything Cincy’s event listing for the exhibition also points visitors to the same Walnut Street address and identifies the presenter as Cincinnati Arts Association. The listing says the exhibition is part of the city’s arts-and-culture calendar and provides current visiting information for this week’s run. (cincinnatiarts.org) ### How long is the show up? July 3 marked the opening date for “Bad Boundaries,” and August 30 is the closing date listed by Cincinnati Arts. The same date range appears on the Weston’s venue page and on the exhibition’s dedicated page, giving the show just under two months on view. (cincinnatiarts.org) Movers & Makers, an arts calendar publication, also lists Bogle’s show at the Weston as running through Aug. 30. That separate calendar entry matches the dates published by Cincinnati Arts. ### Who is Bridgette Bogle in the regional art scene? Dayton Society of Artists lists Bridgette Bogle in its public member profile directory and links to her artist website and Instagram account. (everythingcincy.com) A Downtown Dayton Partnership listing from 2025 also identified Bogle in a fine art faculty exhibition, indicating activity in the broader southwest Ohio arts network beyond Cincinnati. The Weston’s decision to place Bogle in a solo summer presentation aligns with the gallery’s stated focus on artists working in the region as well as nationally and internationally. (cincinnatiarts.org) The venue’s own description says it combines artists and ideas from the contemporary art ecology with work by artists living and working in the region. (moversmakers.org) ### What should a visitor know before going? Everything Cincy’s current listing shows recurring public hours for the exhibition this week from Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tripadvisor’s venue information, while third-party, also reflects regular Weston hours that include Sunday afternoon access. Visitors should check Cincinnati Arts Association’s Weston pages for the latest schedule before making a trip. (daytondsa.org) August 30 is the last day now listed for “Bad Boundaries,” and Cincinnati Arts Association’s Weston pages carry the exhibition details and venue information for visitors planning to attend before the close.
